EVEN SCIENTOLOGISTS COULDN’T SAVE JOHN TRAVOLTA’S GOTTI MOVIE

But oh, how they TRIED! It took YEARS and many changes for John Travolta to finally get his Gotti movie finished and he hoped it was his role of a lifetime. But it turned out to be a disaster – critics lambasted everything about the film (including Travolta’s “gallery of wigs”) and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rare score of ZERO %! Scientologists remember the embarrassing failure of Battlefield Earth, the film they produced starring Travolta, and they vowed to do whatever they could to save Gotti. They advertised the movie with a Scientology inspired philosophy “Audiences love Gotti, but critics don’t want you to see it – judge for yourself.” Suddenly, numerous positive reviews appeared online praising Gotti – suspiciously written by people with new email accounts who had never written reviews before. It didn’t help – once again, crime didn’t pay.

Growing Up Gotti Reunion Victoria Gotti

THE GROWING UP GOTTI BOYS -AND THEIR EYEBROWS- ARE COMING BACK!

Photo: Victoria Gotti
We are FASCINATED by the news that the Gotti boys, John, Frank, and Carmine, are returning to TV for one night on A&E’s “Growing Up Gotti: Ten Years Later.” (Nov 10) Hard to believe it’s been ten years since we watched those Long Island teenagers arguing about their hair gel and eating like wild animals. Their accents were so thick that the series had subtitles to translate. The Gotti mansion was lost in a bank foreclosure so maybe we’ll find out where Victoria lives now. Two of the brothers have girlfriends and one is engaged. Can’t WAIT to find out what they do for a living!

Gangster John Gotti Jr John Gotti Sr John Travolta Movies Victoria Gotti

JOHN TRAVOLTA’S GOTTI MOVIE IS “SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES”

#johntravolta #gotti #janetcharlton

John Travolta’s gay sex scandal might NOT be the only reason for the collapse of the much heralded “Gotti: In The Shadow Of My Father” movie. Last year the proposed movie got a lot of publicity when Lindsay Lohan was chosen to play Victoria Gotti. Lindsay ‘s behavioral problems led to her being replaced by Kelly Preston. Strangely, John Travolta, his wife and daughter Ella ALL had parts in the troubled movie. Directors and actors came and went, but when producers were revealed to be two wiseguys who served time in prison, things really fell apart. After the Travolta scandal hit the papers, an associate of the Gotti family doubted that Gotti Jr would want John to play his father, but John Jr insisted that was NOT true. Having gangsters as producers IS probably a bad idea, however. (We love any excuse to post a photo of Victoria Gotti’s three sons – above.)

Celebrity Apprentice Lisa Lampanelli Spelling Victoria Gotti

LISA LAMPANELLI TO VICTORIA GOTTI: “YOU CALL YOURSELF A WRITER???”

Celebrity Apprentice continues to be fascinating, although Sunday’s “Medieval Times” theme was not so hot. Still, a lot of celebrity quirks were revealed and Victoria Gotti ended up the big loser. Our favorite moment occurred when the women’s team leader Lisa Lampanelli slammed Victoria Gotti, saying “She calls herself a WRITER, but I noticed she spelled medieval “MID-EVIL!”

Carmine Carmine Agnello Celebrity Apprentice Frankie Agnello Growing Up Gotti John Agnello Victoria Gotti

THE “GROWING UP GOTTI” BOYS ARE RETURNING TO TV AS MEN!

Yes, the Gottis are making a major TV comeback. Victoria Gotti is a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice,” and her three sons have a new reality series tentatively titled “Made Men.” You might remember the boys from “Growing Up Gotti” which aired on A&E from 2004 to 5. At that time they were noted for their garish home, hair products use, and accents so thick that subtitles were mandatory. Carmine, John, and Frank are now 25, 24, and 22, respectively, and after assorted aborted career attempts, they are now running a metal recycling business in Queens and STILL LIVING WITH THEIR MOTHER Victoria. We wonder if the boys will be as appealing now that they’re older and hairier (except for the eyebrows………)

Lindsay Lohan Shoplift Victoria Gotti

OF COURSE VICTORIA GOTTI THINKS SHOPLIFTER LINDSAY LOHAN WAS “SET UP”

Victoria Gotti either showed her ignorance or her contempt for honesty when she talked about Lindsay Lohan with the NY Post’s Andrea Peyser. Lindsay is Victoria’s first choice to play her in a movie about the Gotti family starring John Travolta as John “Junior” Gotti. Andrea asked Victoria if she thought Lindsay was guilty of stealing the necklace. “Absolutely NOT!” declared the mafia moll. “This is a case where someone needs a lot of P.R.” she snorted, referring to the jewelry store where Lindsay was accused of shoplifting. The absurd idea that accusing a celebrity of shoplifting will enhance a store’s image or increase business has been floated by Lindsay’s defense. In fact, the LAST thing a retailer wants to do is catch a celebrity shoplifting because they WANT celebrity customers and it’s awkward and embarrassing. Remember, Saks Fifth Avenue didn’t charge Winona Ryder with stealing until she’d done it so many times they had no choice. And Barneys knew she shoplifted and NEVER reported her. Stores do NOT relish negative publicity, spending hours in court, or offending celebrities and their friends. That’s why MOST celebrity shoplifters get away with it. We commend the store for standing up for their rights!

Hair! Lindsay Lohan Taylor Momsen Victoria Gotti

TAYLOR , LINDSAY, AND VICTORIA: THREE GENERATIONS OF HAIR EXTENSIONS

It’s hard to tell them apart from a distance. Taylor Momsen, Lindsay Lohan, and Victoria Gotti might be surprised to see how much they have in common. Tons of long blonde hair and little black outfits are the look of the day.
