Jenny McCarthy has admitted that the death of John Travolta’s 16-year-old son, Jett, hit very close to home for her.

Her own son, Evan, once went into cardiac arrest after suffering a seizure.

She says, “My stomach flipped [when I heard the news]... Evan also, after a seizure, went into cardiac arrest, where I lost him for two minutes. I too watched the paramedics do CPR on Evan, and didn’t know if he was going to come back.

“We did get him back and then he suffered another seizure last year, when we had to put Evan in a coma for four days, so he wouldn’t go into cardiac arrest. So I live on that edge that they have lived with Jett for all those years.”

People scoffed at the idea that a seizure could be deadly initially but it’s a frightening thing. The truth is, life is precious and can slip away at any moment.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
