The trial of two people accused of trying to extort John Travolta following the death of his son in the Bahamas has ended in a mistrial after a lawmaker suggested the still-deliberating jury had acquitted one of the defendants.

Senior Justice Anita Allen said she was reluctantly ordering a new trial “in the interest of justice” because the politician’s statement, in a speech broadcast on television and radio, gave the appearance of an improper leak from the jury room.

“The dilemma that we face is great,” Allen told the court. “I am erring on the side of caution. Justice must be transparent.”

Ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and his attorney, politician Pleasant Bridgewater, were accused of threatening to release private information about the January death of Travolta’s 16-year-old son Jett at the family vacation home in Grand Bahama.

Lightbourne, who was among the medics who treated Jett, allegedly sought $25 million from the actor with the assistance of Bridgewater, who resigned her seat in the Bahamas Senate after she was charged in the case.

Jurors were still deliberating when lawmaker Picewell Forbes told an audience at a Progressive Liberal Party convention that Bridgewater was “a free woman.” He did not go into details.

Immediately afterward, Alex Storr, the party’s deputy chairman-elect, said Forbes had misspoken. He said the information was incorrect and no verdict had been issued. He apologized on behalf of the party.

But the judge said that Forbes’ comment gave her no choice but to dismiss the jurors. She did not set a new trial date.

The jury, which deliberated about nine hours, had spent a month listening to testimony including from Travolta, who flew to the Bahamas to take the stand. Michael Ossi, one of the actor’s attorneys, said his client would cooperate in any way possible and testify again if necessary.

“We are committed to seeing this through, and we are committed to seeing justice served,” Ossi said. “And whatever the prosecution asks us to do is exactly what we will do.”

Howard Butler, a Florida-based lawyer for Travolta, referred further questions to a publicist who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In closing statements, lawyers for the defendants, who denied the allegations, told the nine-member jury that their clients were set up by lawyers for Travolta. They also said authorities misinterpreted their actions.

The alleged plot centered on a document that would have released emergency responders from liability if the family refused an ambulance ride to the hospital for Jett, who suffered a deadly seizure at a family vacation home on Grand Bahama island on Jan. 2.

Travolta said he signed the waiver because he initially wanted his autistic son flown directly to Florida for treatment. But he later changed his mind, and the document did not come into play.

The actor testified that Lightbourne threatened to sell stories to the media suggesting that he was at fault in his son’s death.

Nicole Kidman conceded Wednesday that Hollywood has probably contributed to violence against women by portraying them as weak sex objects.

The Oscar-winning actress said she is not interested in those kinds of demeaning roles, adding that the movie industry also has made an effort to contribute to solutions for ending the violence.

Kidman testified before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that is considering legislation to address violence against women overseas through humanitarian relief efforts and grants to local organizations working on the problem.

Asked by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., if the movie industry has “played a bad role,” Kidman said “probably,” but quickly added that she herself doesn’t.

“I can’t be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career,” she said.

Kidman appeared before the committee in her role as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women, known as UNIFEM, to promote the International Violence Against Women Act.

“In the real world, the laws go unenforced and impunity is the norm,” she said.

The legislation has stalled in the past, but a sponsor, Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Mass., said he and others plan to reintroduce it soon.

The Australian star told Congress that the U.N. women’s fund needs more resources. “We need the money,” she said.

Before the hearing began, a crowd of people lined the hall and around the corner to hear her speak.

When the diehard Mets fan and star of David Mamet’s “Oleanna” was asked during a recent interview with LX NY whether she’d rather see the Phillies repeat as World Series champs or have the Yankees win, Stiles said, “Oh, the Phillies by far would be worse. I couldn’t even stand it last night when they won the game at the very last [minute] . . . That was heartbreaking for me. Ugh, it makes my skin crawl.”

Stiles would be pleased to know that the Mets reportedly made $48 million off of their dealings with Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff, though they may have to give the money back.

The 47-year-old actress responded to questions about the status of her five-year marriage in an interview Tuesday with USA Today, saying “We are a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues.”

Rumors that the relationship was on the rocks began after O’Donnell posted cryptic messages on her personal blog about the difficulties of marriage and the fact that she wasn’t aware Carpenter had a Facebook page until a reader asked her about it.

O’Donnell and Carpenter were married in a non-state-recognized ceremony in San Francisco in 2004 and have three adopted children – Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 9 – as well as daughter Vivienne, 6, whom Carpenter gave birth to via artificial insemination.

“They’re adorable and wonderful and they are by far a priority,” O’Donnell told USA Today. “Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues. Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties.”

“But everything’s fine and everybody’s good and we’re still both raising them together,” she added. “We will both continue to parent them and we’re friendly and everything’s all right.”

Carpenter has reportedly moved into the couple’s Manhattan condo with their youngest child, according to RadarOnline.com. According to the gossip site’s sources, O’Donnell’s mood swings were the cause of the split.

As if Lindsay Lohan didn’t have enough problems lately, her puffy-faced New York City appearance last night is causing concern.

She showed up at the Whitney Museum of Art Gala with eye lids that seemed to struggle to stay open and lips that looked freshly plumped.

The Daily Mail suggests the 23-year-old starlet is starting to resemble 54-year-old Donatella Versace, and appears to be tampering with her looks. Lohan arrived on the red carpet with dyed blond hair and a strapless gold dress that did nothing for her skin tone.

The worrisome appearance comes just three days after a Los Angeles judge extended her probation from a 2007 conviction for a year since Lohan missed mandatory meetings at a substance abuse treatment program.

She was ordered to three years probation in 2007 after pleading guilty to being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to drunken driving charges.

Lohan’s dad Michael recently announced he believes she’s now addicted to painkillers. He’s even threatening to take things into his own hands.

But his daughter’s not having it.

Lohan’s planning to file a restraining order against Michael within the next two days, and is afraid of her estranged dad.

Lohan’s mom Dina – who’s divorced from Michael – is reportedly pushing her to get the restraining order.
