The Travoltas are having a blue Thanksgiving after welcoming a baby boy last night! Kelly Preston, 48, gave birth to 8 lbs., 3 oz. baby Benjamin in a Florida hospital.

John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully.

Congratulations to the entire family!

Silent Birth Isn't Just For Scientologists Like Kelly Preston

I'm a talkative person, but when I'm in pain — I get quiet.

I'm a talkative person, but when I'm in pain — I get quiet. There are only a handful of times when I've had nothing to say and three of those were when I was in active labor. Nothing, but bracing myself and staying mum, helped me get through the contractions — especially with my lil guy who was 10 lbs., 2 oz. and felt like a runaway freight train trying to exit.

Rumor has it that Scientologist Kelly Preston is planning on a silent labor with her impending bundle of joy. The religious birth plan avoids talking and music during the delivery, but natural human reactions to the process are allowed. Were you quiet during portions of your labor?

Pregnant Kelly Preston Takes Her Baby Bump to the Max

There was more than one round object catching people's attention in South Africa last weekend!

There was more than one round object catching people's attention in South Africa last weekend! While most eyes were focused on the World Cup's soccer ball, Kelly Preston debuted her baby bump at an event for the Mandela Children's Fund in Johannesburg.

Wearing a technicolor maxi dress and coordinating cardigan, the 47-year-old mom-to-be debuted her growing belly before a crowd that gathered to celebrate the celebrity parents' $10,000 donation to the charity. Maxi dresses continue to be the style of choice for Summer pregnancies with their comfortable, flowing fabrics providing expectant mamas with plenty of room to grow.

America Ties England in a First World Cup Match as David Beckham Looks on and Kelly Preston Shows a Bump!

The World Cup action swung into high gear over the weekend in South Africa — refresh your soccer knowledge with our handy guide to the games!

The World Cup action swung into high gear over the weekend in South Africa — refresh your soccer knowledge with our handy guide to the games! David Beckham was suited up to guard the sideline Saturday as England took on the US in Rustenberg. Despite the best efforts of Americans Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Carlos Bocanegra, and Tim Howard, the match ended in a 1-1 tie, and our sole goal was largely the result of England's goalie Robert Green not properly blocking an easy shot. David was none too pleased over on the bench, but he'll still be out supporting his countrymen when they play Algeria on Friday. Landon, Tim and the gang, meanwhile, will be out the same day taking on Slovenia. John Travolta and his pregnant wife Kelly Preston arrived in South Africa last week, but they skipped Saturday's excitement on the field. Instead, they attended a benefit for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund in Johannesburg with Kelly showing off her baby bump in a maxi-dress.
