John Travolta not happy with HBO's Scientology doc

Bobby Brown and his legal team scrambled Monday to clarify his comments over the weekend that his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, who has been in a medically induced coma since January, was "awake." Speaking to the crowd Saturday at a concert in Texas, Brown said: "She's watching me." He went on to speak of living through "hard times. . . . I don't know what the hell I'm going through right now, but I'm giving it to God."

Travolta: Scientology good

Hollywood legend John Travolta isn't happy with the critique of Scientology made in the HBO docu Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. The religion has been nothing but positive in his life, says theSaturday Night Fever star. "Forty years for me, I've been part - and I've loved every minute of it, and my family has done so well with it," Travolta, 61, said Monday on Good Morning America.

"It's a beautiful thing for me and I've saved lives with it," he said. "Saved my own life several times."

Bobby Brown backtracks

Bobby Brown and his legal team scrambled Monday to clarify his comments over the weekend that his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, who has been in a medically induced coma since January, was "awake." Speaking to the crowd Saturday at a concert in Texas, Brown said: "She's watching me." He went on to speak of living through "hard times. . . . I don't know what the hell I'm going through right now, but I'm giving it to God."

Bobbi, the daughter of Brown and the late Whitney Houston, was found unconscious and unresponsive, face down in a bathtub on Jan. 31. Houston died under similar circumstances in 2012. Drugs were found at her place, but it's not clear whether she overdosed.

Monday morning, several family sources told TMZ and People mag that there was no change in Bobbi's condition and that she remains in a coma and on life-support.

Brown's lawyers said in a statement, "Bobbi Kristina's condition has not changed. . . . Doctors have indicated that she will have a long life. However, Bobbi Kristina is presently embarking on a rehabilitation process and the quality of her life will not be known for years to come."
