John Travolta and Kelly Preston get two for one? Couple's rep says no [Updated]

Is your head still spinning from the news that John Travolta and Kelly Preston are expecting a baby? Well, grab hold of your “Saturday Night Fever” album, because you’ll need to fan yourself after the latest news.

According to Star magazine, the couple is expecting twins. (Blink and re-read that.)  

Apparently, Kelly, 47, began in vitro fertilization treatments, which increases the chances of conceiving multiples.

[Updated at 2:16 p.m.: Advice from Kate Gosselin is no longer needed, it seems. Sam Mast, the couple’s rep, told E! News the Star report is -- shockingly -- false: “They are not expecting twins.”]

The couple already has 10-year-old Ella and apparently were determined to expand their family after their 16-year-old son, Jett, died after striking his head during a seizure in January 2009.

What a misleading "teaser" headline on the previous page. In the retail biz this is called bait-and-switch.

And by the way, what in the Sam Hill are they doing having a baby at their ages? By the time this child is ten years old, he/she will have senior citizens as parents.

Thank you. And then there is the inevitable psychological question of whether they're just trying to fill the void left by their son's passing... and if so, is that really why you wanted to have another child? Big load for the new kid to carry!

I think the other two comments before mine are idiots. It's no one's business what the Travoltas want to do. If the commenters ever had a child they'd know you can't replace a child. There are a lot of people who are thrilled the Travoltas are expecting and hope all goes well to full term. Go For It!!
