Gossip Cop generally doesn’t even bother with nonsense from The Globe, but unfortunately there’s a story about John Travolta and Kelly Preston that’s getting picked up, which is so mean and inaccurate that we had to respond.

On its cover this week, The Globe promotes a story titled, “Travolta Divorce Shocker!” and then states inside, “John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s marriage has been so battered in the wake of their beloved son Jett’s tragic death, friends fear they’re headed for divorce!” The article goes on to quote an unidentified “pal” as saying, “We’re really worried the grief and stress of losing Jett is creating such a deep wedge between John and Kelly, it’s put their marriage on the verge of collapse.”

Gossip Cop would like to know who these supposed “friends” are.

Travolta’s rep told Gossip Cop: “This story is 100 percent false and could not be further from the truth. John and Kelly are very happily married. This is a very hurtful lie, concocted by people who are more interested in making a profit and less interested in telling the truth.”

We couldn’t have said it better.
