Usher, sporting an Atlanta Braves baseball cap, orange polo and jeans, danced with Blige while her manager husband, Kendu Isaacs, looked on, and finally called it a night at 4 a.m.

How John Travolta Keeps It Hot
Originally posted 12/10/2004 10:00AM
John Travolta and Kelly Preston have one of Hollywood's enduring marriages, having been hitched since 1991. So, how do they keep their spark? "Sometimes I make him be Bud," his character from 1980's Urban Cowboy, Preston told the audience at a special salute to Travolta by the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. "And I'm (Debra Winger character) Sissy." Hey, whatever works. Also at the event was James Gandolfini, who had this to say about Travolta: "We grew up about 15 minutes away from each other in New Jersey, and his father used to own a tire store. My father used to buy tires from his father. And we'd go in there and there'd be a picture of John, in the white suit and all. And I'm saying, 'If this man can do this – forgetting that he was like three times better looking than I was – so can I.' " Gandolfini eventually got to work with Travolta in 1995's Get Shorty, in which Travolta "beat the crap out of me." Others who paid tribute to the star: Oprah Winfrey; Ron Palillo, who played Horshack on Welcome Back Kotter; Grease stars Jeff Conaway and Didi Conn; Entourage's Jeremy Piven, who claims Travolta's was the first autograph he ever got; Kathy Bates, his costar in 1998's Primary Colors; and Kyra Sedgwick, who shared the big screen with Travolta in 1996's Phenomenon. The tribute airs on the USA Network on Dec. 12.

Kelly Preston's Younger Man?
Originally posted 07/02/2004 06:00AM
Well here's to you, Mrs. Travolta ... We hear that Kelly Preston, 41, will appear as the sultry older woman who romances Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine in the upcoming video for the band's single "She Will Be Loved," a post-modern take on the 1967 film The Graduate. Director Sophie Muller initially suggested Demi Moore, but the band thought her spotlight might shine a little too brightly. Sharon Stone was another candidate, but the band thought she was too sexy for the character. Preston fit the bill, and flew to L.A. from a vacation in Florida just to shoot the video. Our spies tell us she looked beautiful and was very friendly to everyone on the set. Perhaps she looked too good – we hear that Levine's girlfriend, model Kelly McKee, who romped with the singer in the band's "This Love" video, left the set while the reportedly steamy love scenes were filming.

Kelly Preston vs. Chemical Poisons
Originally posted 03/07/2002 12:00PM
Six years ago, when Kelly Preston's son, Jett, was three, she and husband John Travolta were terrified when the boy suddenly became gravely ill and was rushed to the ER. "He was really lethargic," says Preston, 39. "He had a high fever and swollen lymph glands. It seemed like he had a serious flu. He had a rash all over his body. They didn't know what it was." She was stunned when she learned that her son did not have the flu, but rather had contracted a form of Kawasaki Syndrome, a rare vascular illness, reports PEOPLE. Preston says she was even more shocked when she learned that exposure to chemicals used to clean the carpets in her home caused her son's near-fatal illness. "They tell you that it's safe, and that it's okay," Preston said of the cleaning products. Determined to help other parents and spread the word about the dangers out there, Preston voluntarily teamed up with the HUD-sponsored Children's Health Environmental Coalition (CHEC). With childhood illnesses increasing in the U.S., many experts believe that commonly used chemicals can harm children and can cause non-genetic cancers, learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). When Jett got sick, Preston says there was little information available to her and her husband about the danger of chemical exposure to children. That is no longer the case, thanks to CHEC. On Feb. 25, the organization launched a user-friendly Web site that offers information on commonly used chemicals in the home. In addition, Preston serves on the CHEC board of directors and made a video with Olivia Newton-John last May called "Protecting Your Baby from Toxins at Home." "This story is bigger than people think it is," says Preston. "It's a hot topic and people want to know about it."
