56-year-old John Travolta and 47-year-old Wife Are Expecting 3rd Child

From CBS

News that John Travolta and Kelly Preston are expecting a baby in November shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone.

The two middle-aged actors have been talking about expanding their family for years, even before their oldest child, son Jett, died last year. Preston is  47.

"[The pregnancy] is not a shock to anyone in their camp," Gossip reporter Paula Froelich told CBS' The Early Show this morning. The two have made a "concerted effort" to have another child together, she said.

But Travolta, 56,  was talking about a third child as far back as March 2007 when he told People magazine he and Preston "were trying for a third but that depends on Kelly's schedule. I leave it up to her."

At the time, he said, "I really like having kids. I enjoy their energy and it keeps everything wonderful and hopeful. I grew up with six kids in my family. I thought I would have five or six."

Jett Travolta, who suffered from autism , was just 16 when he died in January 2009 after suffering a seizure at the family's vacation home in the Bahamas. The couple also has a daughter , Ella Bleu, who is 10.

The Travoltas made news earlier this week when it was learned that two of the family's dogs were killed in a freak accident last week at an airport in Bangor, Maine , where the couple has a home.

Ariel Lin has been waiting to film idol drama "華麗的挑戰" ("Extravagant Challenge") for more than a year. Male lead has changed from Jerry Yan to Wu Zun. But it's changed back to Jerry after Wu Zun started to film movies. It's said Joe Cheng wasn't satisfied with the amount of screen-time he has and left the cast. Female lead Ariel has been waiting for her Mr. Right for a long time. Now it's rumored that Super Junior's Donghae and Siwon would pair up with Ariel. The two collaborated with Ariel for her MV before. Plus Ariel graduated with a Korean degree so there is no problem in communications.

Before working with SJ members, Ariel would first film Taiwanese version of "The First Shop of Coffee Prince." She would chop off her hair and play a handsome boy. The ironic thing is that the male lead would be Jerry, so in the end Ariel is still going to pair up with Jerry, just in a different drama.
