I though the revert by James084 went back a bit too far, so had the side effect of undoing valid changes. I refixed the disambig target, and put back in the children names. The only change that was left was the reference to Secret Admirer. While she did have a part in that, and it was a sex comedy, I don't know if it was a starring role or what her part involved. (So technically that edit could be true, I just don't know, hence why I'm am not putting that back) MartinRe 20:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I am taking out the paragraph about her son Jet's alleged autism because:
a) The sources are 'Hollywood Interrupted,' a celebrity gossip blog and 'Operation Clambake,' an anti-Scientology message board, neither WP:V or WP:RS.
b) No one knows whether Jet actually has autism. No RS has been established for it.
c) It is derogatory.
If anyone wants to revert this change, let them provide a reliable source. If no such source is provided, the person who reverts this change can expect a warning notice: Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add unreferenced or inadequately referenced controversial biographical information concerning living persons to Wikipedia articles. Thank you.

No more putting the paragraph about some guy thinking their son is autistic. That's for gossip blogs, not for wikipedia. When there is a credible source that says he is autistic, when there is any genuine news about it, we can put that there, but not gossip. Johnpedia 06:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You really really really need to go get some kind of life. This is just so pathetic of you to continue coming bacl here and restoring it and being so passionate about it. And they never said their son got that syndrome from carpet cleaner. Their son was breathing in those carpet cleaner fumes AT THE HOSPITAL where he was being treated for his snydrome, if you read correctly. But please just go get a life. 24.69.67.173 07:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Here's what Travolta himself had to tell:
Travolta's law The Irish Times 10.4.1999 (...) He first became actively involved in campaigning to highlight the overuse of chemicals and toxics three years ago after Jett almost died from a seemingly innocuous incident. "We had a new carpet and had it cleaned," he recalls. "They'd used chemicals on it and it hadn't fully dried out and there were a couple of times when Jett had played with his toys {on the carpet} or picked up food that had fallen on it. "He had this terrible reaction where his body swelled up and he had a temperature of like 104 or 105. He almost lost his life. I went crazy, I was going out of my mind with worry. "We rushed him to hospital, and fortunately a Japanese doctor identified the problem which was a reaction to the chemicals. (...)

still no good! was her mother's maiden name "smith" and the late father "preston" or vice versa? or neither, and kelly just took that as random stage name? REALLY confusing saying "preston changed her name to [palzis]" etc before even establishing whether she WAS "preston" at that point!

Why does this biography of Kelly Preston exclude the fact that she had a son with Kevin Gage. This fact used to be reported on all profiles of Kelly Preston but has since been cleansed from many profiles. You can still see the fact at, among others: http://celebsplash.com/Kelly-Preston-/Kelly-Preston.html Wiki needs to investigate this. If she has another child, it should be in her profile. If this child is mentally retarded and/or has cerebral palsy this should also be indicated as it is relevant given the controversy surrounding the health of Jett Travolta and the cause of his death. 124.186.70.61 ( talk) 07:26, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

This possible "two weddings" thing is interesting. I hope someone can find some good sourcing for this. I haven't been able to find any yet, though it's in multiple Internet bios on the Preston and Travolta. Perhaps the intense focus on the couple given the son's death will shed some light on this. If true, my suspicion is that the supposed "first wedding" may have been invalid if France (or the local jurisdiction) did not recognize the individual minister, or France (or the local jurisdiction) did not recognize Scientology as an official religion. Does it now? Anybody know? Beansandveggies ( talk) 02:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm finding several Internet sources saying Preston and Gage were actually married from 1986-1988. This time frame makes more sense, given what I've read about her subsequent relationships with Clooney, Sheen, and then marriage to Travolta. In fact, when Preston met Travolta in '87, Travolta says she was already having problems in her marriage. Obviously, this would make more sense if the marriage was already one year old, as opposed to brand-new. Anyhow, anybody know the truth on this? Beansandveggies ( talk) 02:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
First off,is this the proper way to bring something to your attention? I am sorry for my past postings. I should have looked into the proper way to do things. Kelly is in the movie "Casino Jack",which just rapped in Toronto. I don't know why alot of media sources haven't picked up on it? Maybe the movie studio wanted to keep a rap on it because of kelly's situation. Imdb lists her in the cast,but as rumored. However,Kevin Spacey confirmed she was his co-star on his twitter page. I only found one website that says she signed to be in the movie,that is cinemablend. I don't know if that's enough,but I felt like i needed to bring it to your attention.

I'm sure a more reliable source will come in the next few weeks. There is a video posted on youtube. The person who posted it says it's Kelly Preston and Kevin Spacey filming a scene from "Casino Jack,but I can't tell for sure it's Kelly in the video. I'll continue to look for a more reliable source. Penny47 ( talk) 00:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

The way the current Early Years section reads, it's confusing about her parents. Her biological father drowned, correct? Then she had an adoptive father AND a stepfather? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.198.46 ( talk) 21:05, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
The one correction that needs to be made is...Peter Palzis,Kelly's adoptive father, worked for the agricultural firm....not her birth father who drowned when she was 3. Kelly moved to Iraq when she was 5,because of Peter Palzis'job in the agricultural firm. He helped them to become better at growing sugarcane. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Penny47 ( talk • contribs) 12:14, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Story is given that Kelly Preston broke up with Charlie Sheen shortly after he accidentally shot her in the arm. This was a rumor that went around for a long time, but Charlie Sheen has since come public with the true events:
In 2001 Sheen told Playboy magazine that it was a "complete accident. I wasn't even in the room. She picked up a pair of my pants. ... A little revolver fell out of my back pocket, hit the bathroom floor and went off. It shot a hole through the toilet and she got hit in the leg with shrapnel."
--Sourced from CNN.com
My recommendation is to either implement a past relationship category on this page, or to simply remove the reference to this incident entirely
173.33.166.140 ( talk) 08:58, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Actually, if you read the source, It corroborates exactly what Charlie Sheen said. Quoted from Source: "Significant Others Companion: Charlie Sheen. briefly engaged in 1989; suffered accidental gunshot wound in 1990 reportedly when she moved a pair of jeans belonging to Sheen which had a gun in one of the pockets; later sold 2.5 carat engagement ring Sheen gave her and split the money with him."
The Source says the exact same thing that Charlie Sheen himself quoted in the CNN article, yet on her article page it says "When Sheen accidentally shot her in the arm", implying that he literally pulled the trigger and shot her in the arm. The language should be changed to accurately reflect that he did not in fact shoot her. 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 09:45, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
So rather than just make the article correct based on the sources given, you'd rather just find a new source altogether? Multiple sources have corroborated the account, and it was sourced on this very page. Rather than clean up the language to make it more accurate, you'll go witch hunting for a new source to prove that he shot her? He did not shoot her. Period. I don't understand why you are making such an effort to prove he shot her, when by his account AND the victim's, he did not. CBS is clearly the page that is wrong, not the yahoo or CNN article or the other multiple sources corroborating the account. If you can show concrete evidence that he shot her, then fine, but if you cant, then dont you think the consensus should be followed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 19:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
The CBS Bio is literally the only place that I've seen that says "Charlie Sheen accidentally shot Kelly Preston". Every other source tells the events exactly like the yahoo article or the CNN article. So, I am basing my findings on a.) The accounts of the people ACTUALLY involved and b.) credible news sources, and you are contending that because Charlie Sheen hasn't said anything about what's on his CBS biography page, it must be true -- which is all opinion. For all you know, hes never read the thing. Fact of the matter is the account from the person actually involved in the incident should be sourced before some silly CBS bio page that isn't even meant to be necessarily historically accurate. You're using YOUR opinion and YOUR belief to claim what is and isn't true based on conjecture and assumption. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 01:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Even if you don't believe that a person who was involved in the incident is a credible source for what really happened, the fact still remains that you have no proof to prove that he DID, other than a CBS biography page that has 5 words on the subject: "Sheen accidentally shot Kelly Preston". TO me, this is nowhere near sufficient enough evidence to have it point out on a wiki page that is meant to contain fact only. Unless you can find specific evidence ie. proof of a police report, eyewitness statements(which you actually know corroborating the statement I deem to be true), or something else to back up your claim other than some foolish Television biography page, then this is basically equivalent to libel, and should not be put into a wiki as fact. 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 05:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Thus, if you cannot produce an independent reliable third party source that says otherwise, the current reference stands. And I will not respond further without this. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 06:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
You seem to miss the point entirely, and contradict yourself. You claim that the important thing here is verifiability, yet you have no verification for your point of view. Your contention is that it is verified that Charlie Sheen shot Kelly Preston based on the fact his CBS.com biography page mentions it in passing, and I'm saying that is NOT enough to verify this event took place. Secondly, is CNN not a reliable source anymore? Do you not think the journalist who was writing the article about Sheen looked up and verified the quote was true before she decided to publish it? SO basically you are questioning the journalistic credibility of a CNN.com reporter, yet a single sentence on CBS.com biography page is enough to prove to you that it is fact? Are you kidding me? The point is, if you are going to say that the sources I have given you are not enough to corroborate what Charlie Sheen said, then the same must be said that his CBS bio page is not enough to verify that he did shoot her, either. One sentence on a TV website biography page is NOT enough proof to put something into a wiki page as fact. Therefore, the entire reference should be removed from the page entirely until there is more verification available on said matter. There is no logical reason for you not to see this and comprehend it. Ill repeat it again, just in case: A CBS.com biography page is NOT enough to VERIFY this event took place. 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 07:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I am still in doubt in whether Houston, TX is actually the place of her death. It seems that articles such as this one state that her family "thanked all the doctors and nurses" at MD Anderson Cancer Center, which is in Houston. However, the datelines of most articles state Los Angeles. Can anyone confirm whether which one seems the most reliable? ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 06:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

The edit User:Maxikray made contains incorrect statements. Firstly, before the edit, the wording was correct - the shot was accidental, not alleged. Even the source TMZ added by the user says: "Kelly Preston ... confirming he did not pull the trigger during the infamous 1990 shooting incident ... and insisting the whole thing was a "complete accident." Secondly, based on the text of the source, Preston never claimed that Sheen did not shoot her; only that the shot was unintentional, accidental, as it was mentioned earlier, before the edit. Therefore, the statement "Preston claimed that Sheen did not shoot her" is false and the entire edit should be canceled, because it is actually misleading and worsens the quality of the article. -- 92.255.216.62 ( talk) 17:21, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

In 2001 Sheen told Playboy magazine that it was a "complete accident. I wasn't even in the room. She picked up a pair of my pants. ... A little revolver fell out of my back pocket, hit the bathroom floor and went off. It shot a hole through the toilet and she got hit in the leg with shrapnel."
--Sourced from CNN.com
My recommendation is to either implement a past relationship category on this page, or to simply remove the reference to this incident entirely

Actually, if you read the source, It corroborates exactly what Charlie Sheen said. Quoted from Source: "Significant Others Companion: Charlie Sheen. briefly engaged in 1989; suffered accidental gunshot wound in 1990 reportedly when she moved a pair of jeans belonging to Sheen which had a gun in one of the pockets; later sold 2.5 carat engagement ring Sheen gave her and split the money with him."
The Source says the exact same thing that Charlie Sheen himself quoted in the CNN article, yet on her article page it says "When Sheen accidentally shot her in the arm", implying that he literally pulled the trigger and shot her in the arm. The language should be changed to accurately reflect that he did not in fact shoot her. 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 09:45, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
So rather than just make the article correct based on the sources given, you'd rather just find a new source altogether? Multiple sources have corroborated the account, and it was sourced on this very page. Rather than clean up the language to make it more accurate, you'll go witch hunting for a new source to prove that he shot her? He did not shoot her. Period. I don't understand why you are making such an effort to prove he shot her, when by his account AND the victim's, he did not. CBS is clearly the page that is wrong, not the yahoo or CNN article or the other multiple sources corroborating the account. If you can show concrete evidence that he shot her, then fine, but if you cant, then dont you think the consensus should be followed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 19:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
The CBS Bio is literally the only place that I've seen that says "Charlie Sheen accidentally shot Kelly Preston". Every other source tells the events exactly like the yahoo article or the CNN article. So, I am basing my findings on a.) The accounts of the people ACTUALLY involved and b.) credible news sources, and you are contending that because Charlie Sheen hasn't said anything about what's on his CBS biography page, it must be true -- which is all opinion. For all you know, hes never read the thing. Fact of the matter is the account from the person actually involved in the incident should be sourced before some silly CBS bio page that isn't even meant to be necessarily historically accurate. You're using YOUR opinion and YOUR belief to claim what is and isn't true based on conjecture and assumption. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 01:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Even if you don't believe that a person who was involved in the incident is a credible source for what really happened, the fact still remains that you have no proof to prove that he DID, other than a CBS biography page that has 5 words on the subject: "Sheen accidentally shot Kelly Preston". TO me, this is nowhere near sufficient enough evidence to have it point out on a wiki page that is meant to contain fact only. Unless you can find specific evidence ie. proof of a police report, eyewitness statements(which you actually know corroborating the statement I deem to be true), or something else to back up your claim other than some foolish Television biography page, then this is basically equivalent to libel, and should not be put into a wiki as fact. 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 05:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Thus, if you cannot produce an independent reliable third party source that says otherwise, the current reference stands. And I will not respond further without this. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 06:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
You seem to miss the point entirely, and contradict yourself. You claim that the important thing here is verifiability, yet you have no verification for your point of view. Your contention is that it is verified that Charlie Sheen shot Kelly Preston based on the fact his CBS.com biography page mentions it in passing, and I'm saying that is NOT enough to verify this event took place. Secondly, is CNN not a reliable source anymore? Do you not think the journalist who was writing the article about Sheen looked up and verified the quote was true before she decided to publish it? SO basically you are questioning the journalistic credibility of a CNN.com reporter, yet a single sentence on CBS.com biography page is enough to prove to you that it is fact? Are you kidding me? The point is, if you are going to say that the sources I have given you are not enough to corroborate what Charlie Sheen said, then the same must be said that his CBS bio page is not enough to verify that he did shoot her, either. One sentence on a TV website biography page is NOT enough proof to put something into a wiki page as fact. Therefore, the entire reference should be removed from the page entirely until there is more verification available on said matter. There is no logical reason for you not to see this and comprehend it. Ill repeat it again, just in case: A CBS.com biography page is NOT enough to VERIFY this event took place. 99.245.159.14 ( talk) 07:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I am still in doubt in whether Houston, TX is actually the place of her death. It seems that articles such as this one state that her family "thanked all the doctors and nurses" at MD Anderson Cancer Center, which is in Houston. However, the datelines of most articles state Los Angeles. Can anyone confirm whether which one seems the most reliable? ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 06:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

The edit User:Maxikray made contains incorrect statements. Firstly, before the edit, the wording was correct - the shot was accidental, not alleged. Even the source TMZ added by the user says: "Kelly Preston ... confirming he did not pull the trigger during the infamous 1990 shooting incident ... and insisting the whole thing was a "complete accident." Secondly, based on the text of the source, Preston never claimed that Sheen did not shoot her; only that the shot was unintentional, accidental, as it was mentioned earlier, before the edit. Therefore, the statement "Preston claimed that Sheen did not shoot her" is false and the entire edit should be canceled, because it is actually misleading and worsens the quality of the article. -- 92.255.216.62 ( talk) 17:21, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
