It's many a teen boys dream - to forge a career as a DJ travelling the world in a private jet.

And while for the majority it is simply that - a dream - for well-connected Connor Cruise it seems his life is one big fantasy.

The 18-year-old, the son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, posted an Instagram on Thursday of him posing next to a gleaming jet and some friends.

Big shot: Connor poses next to a friend and a shining private jet after landing in Montana on Thursday

'Just arrived in Montana for a show! We out here!! @daveophilly @chebacca2012 @metrostationmusic #closertoheaven,' he wrote with the photo.

The message also references Connor's new single closer to heaven, which was his production debut.

Released on August 12, the anthemic dance track  features former Metro Station frontman Mason Musso on vocals.

Mason tagged along with Connor for the trip to the Montana show and posted another photo on Twitter of the crew beside their jet.

Friends: Vocalist Mason Musso, who stars in Connor's single Closer To Heaven, tagged along for the show

'Just landed in Montana with my boys @CHEBACCA @poetnamelife @TheConnorCruise @daveophilly,' he tweeted.

Though Connor is relatively new to electronic music production, he has kept himself busy gigging as a DJ.

And he's no cheap hire: Connor has played events such as the American Music Awards for anywhere between $5,000 to $10,000 a set.

Float on: Connor recently tried his hand at paddleboarding, heading out on the water on August 24 in Los Angeles, California

He was also spotted in the past playing parties with the likes of Steve Aoki and Nervo, so he's probably gotten tips from some of the best in the business.

Connor does have an acting credit to his name: He made his big-screen debut on the recent remake of Red Dawn, which sunk at the box office.

But that flop doesn't seem to matter much, as Connor appears to be most happy making the crowd jump from behind the decks.

'A' for effort: Connor apparently had mixed results on the day, stumbling off the board several times but continuing to give his best shot

The Deauville film fest will honor thesp with lifetime achievement award

• John Travolta

John Travolta remembers the last time he set foot on the grounds of France’s Deauville American Film Festival with great specificity — and well he should, as it was the first time he ever participated in a film festival.

SEE MORE: From the August 27, 2013 issue of Variety

The year was 1978, and Travolta was staying at director Claude Lelouche’s hotel in the tiny resort town in anticipation of the French premiere of “Grease” taking place at the festival. Four months prior he had made his first trip to France on a press tour, where he recalls first spotting the Time magazine cover bearing his face and the headline “Travolta Fever” on a newsstand in the Hotel du Cap gift shop. Needless to say, it was a memorable few months for the 24-year-old.

Thirty-five years and several career resurgences later, Travolta will once again be attending the festival, to collect a lifetime achievement honor as well as to stage a screening of his most recent film, “Killing Season,” in which he stars as a Serbian war veteran alongside Robert De Niro.

“I’ve been getting career awards since the mid-’90s,” the 59-year-old Travolta notes, pondering the span of a film career that has run for almost as long as the Deauville fest itself. “Your average career runs about 30 years, so I’m about five years past that. Clark Gable and Cary Grant were all still doing movies at my age and older, but they generally used to stop a lot younger. Now, you’ve got Eastwood, who’s 83 and still doing movies. Things are a little different now.”

Retirement ages aren’t the only things that have changed since Travolta’s last trip to the beaches of Lower Normandy. While Travolta’s previous Deauville appearance came in support of a film that remained in theaters for an eternity and grossed more than $180 million domestically, “Killing Season” received a brief theatrical release this summer before hitting VOD. It’s doing brisk business there, though Travolta admits he took some convincing to embrace the model.

“I asked some questions about it, to be honest, because it’s not something I’m used to,” he says. “Maybe I’m not as comfortable with it, but that doesn’t mean anything: Sometimes the world changes and you have to go with it.

“Besides, as an actor, it’s changed nothing. You’re there to do your due diligence and give a good performance. How the industry takes that forward is really up to them, and changing times will change that, but performance is performance.”

If Travolta ultimately takes a long view of the industry, it’s perhaps because he has served as a firsthand witness to so many seismic changes already. He became an established name during the twilight of the mogul-driven New Hollywood of the 1970s, finding steady work with Paramount just as the reigns of Charles Bluhdorn and Robert Evans were beginning to wane. After a fallow period in the more marketing-driven 1980s, Travolta again found himself at the center of the zeitgeist when “Pulp Fiction” kickstarted the independent film boom in the 1990s, and he served as a key muse for Hong Kong director John Woo while he was busy establishing a provisional beachhead for Asian filmmakers in Hollywood.

One doesn’t manage to maintain such a long, multifaceted career in moviemaking without growing wary of its inevitable paradigm shifts, yet Travolta is sanguine about Hollywood’s ability to continue producing what he calls “people movies” — the human-sized films that deal with actual characters, to which he still gravitates.

“James Bridges could still get a film made today, but it would be in this newer model,” he says. For example, “ ‘Urban Cowboy’ was made for $15 million in 1980; you’d probably make that today for $15 million too. But the difference, of course, is that $15 million used to be a lot more money, and in the ’90s, you’d probably have made it for $50 or $60 million. … These movies are still being made, but it’s just at a very adjusted price.”

This stoicism toward the packaging and the medium in which he delivers performances has served Travolta well, particularly in his early days, when he evolved from Broadway journeyman to TV heartthrob to Oscar-nominated movie star with rather dizzying speed. This would seem no mean feat — aside from Eastwood and Steve McQueen, Travolta was one of the first major stars to light up multiplexes unscathed by the stigma of television — yet Travolta insists the transition was an easy one.

Strangely enough, Travolta’s ticket to teen idoldom, “Welcome Back, Kotter,” was only issued after he narrowly missed winning the role of Larry Meadows in Hal Ashby’s “The Last Detail.” And even more strangely, it was his take on Vinnie Barbarino for the ABC skein that helped convince Brian De Palma to offer him his first major film role, in “Carrie.”

“I don’t know why that happened, other than there was a group of very important people around me who didn’t give a shit about those distinctions (between film and TV) during my transition.”

Another member of that group was New Yorker critic Pauline Kael, an early Travolta champion who praised his performances in “Saturday Night Fever” and TV movie “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble” alike, noting that the young thesp was a “character actor, looking like a leading man.” Asked about Kael’s diagnosis, Travolta is quick to agree.

“I know that’s what I am, because my interest level in being myself is very low,” he says. “I don’t feel like there’s any real particular style to my personality, other than as a neutral who’s ready to assume a style or personality or a set of attributes.”

Indeed, for all his celebrity, Travolta has never settled on a formula or default setting as an actor, and the essential “Travolta-ness” of his performances can be difficult to pinpoint. Sure, there’s the distinctive squinty smile, the lilting hoarseness to his voice, and the ineffable glimmers of soft-spoken decency that tend to show through even in his most unsavory roles. Yet Travolta’s CV is distinguished less by its iconic performances than by its iconic characters — Tony Manero, Danny Zuko, Vincent Vega … even Chili Palmer and Edna Turnblad — whose names are almost as recognizable as Travolta’s own.

To illustrate, Travolta recalls the preproduction process for “Face/Off,” Woo’s 1997 body-swap action film in which he and co-star Nicolas Cage were essentially tasked with playing each another. “Nic is very stylized in his personality, there’s a voice and a cadence and a walk that’s easy to hold onto, which I could imitate very easily,” he remembers. But Cage had a steeper hill to climb.

“Nic said, ‘I can’t find you in any of these movies, I don’t know who you are. There’s just all these characters,’ ” Travolta says. “Eventually he said, ‘Tell me if I’m on to something, but I took a little bit of you in “Phenomenon,” and a little bit of “Look Who’s Talking,” and I think that’s basically who you are.’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s pretty close. That’s accurate enough.’ But it was much easier for me than it was for him.”

Travolta uses the word “beingness” several times to describe his craft. It’s a word that is often associated with Travolta’s Scientology faith, though it has its roots in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, for whom “everyone is the other, and no one is himself.”

“You know when the balloon has taken off,” he says of the research process. “There are no absolutes in the development of a character, but all I know is that until I can assume the beingness of that character quickly, and let go of it just as quickly, the character hasn’t arrived yet. When I can assume it and think in character, then I’m ready to shoot,” he says.

“It’s about finding a comfort zone. I guess I’m just more comfortable being other people than I am being myself.”

Did Katie Holmes Reject Jamie Foxx After 'He Grabbed Her Butt And Tried To Seal The Deal' At Hamptons Bash?

Rumours the actors are dating

Rumours are circulating that Katie Holmes is secretly dating Jamie Foxx but according to insiders the gorgeous actress has actually rejected the White House Down star!

Katie and Jamie were reportedly spotted holding hands at a party at the Apollo in the Hamptons on Saturday, which sparked romance rumours all over the internet. Tom Cruise's former co-star Jamie Foxx, 45, and ex-wife Katie Holmes, 34, seemed to do little to hide their affection as they danced the night away to Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines'.

Whilst eyewitnesses report that the pair looked very happy on the dancefloor, another party insider has come forward to claim that Katie wasn't letting cheeky Jamie get too close.

"They danced, and after a hug he grabbed her butt and tried to seal the deal," the observer tells Us Weekly. "She was flattered, but not interested."

Looking good Katie! (WENN)

Not that the butt grab ruined Katie's night as another source reveals: "She seemed unsure at first, and then she got up on the stage and just started letting loose with everyone else. She seemed really happy with the whole night and who was around her."

According to The New York Post, she was overheard telling friends: "I haven’t had such a good time in so long."

A rep for Katie has insisted to EntertainmentWise though that the actress and Jamie are "just friends."

Whether they're dating or not it's just good to see Katie with a smile on her face again.

TRASHY MEDIA TRYING TO SHOEHORN SCIENTOLOGY INTO BRAD AND ANGELINA STORIES NOW [LULZ].... IS TRAVOLTA TOO FAR GONE? ... STILL SHILLS FOR NARCONON. OSA STILL SPYING ON KATIE?.... WILL SMITH HEADING FOR DIVORCE?

While Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is about to walk down the aisle in less than a week, reports claim that they have recently argued over Scientology.

This is not the first time for the soon-to-be husband and wife to discuss the matter.

According to Star magazine, the 'World War Z' actor is deeply interested with the controversial religion. He even approached his wife just to elaborate its benefits.

The 'Salt' actress is firmed with her decision not to get her kids involved in the seemingly complicated group.

Brad Pitt's fascination with the Church of Scientology allegedly came from his friendship with neighbor Giovanni Ribsi who is one of the church's devotees:

"In early August, she flipped out on him after finding some Scientology recruitment brochures, probably left behind after one of Giovanni's visits. Brad suggested she casually read through them, but Angie tossed them in the trash and furiously told Brad she didn't want any of 'that kind' of material in their home," claims an insider.

The future Mrs. Pitt fears that the religion will only mess up their relationship and in turn affect their six children. It is likewise not a secret that the same religion is the root of the highly-publicized divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Believers of the couple's family hope that the two will find a way to attain what they want without losing respect for each other's decision.

John Travolta: ‘Scientology has the answers to drugs & detoxifying the body’

Before I even get into this latest cult propaganda, let’s review the fact that at least nine people have died in drug treatment centers run by the “church” of Scientology. Scientology runs dozens of drug treatment facilities under the misleading name “Narconon.” The treatment they offer is a front for Scientology, and is ineffective at best and deadly at worst. In just nine months, three people died in a single Narconon facility in Oregon, which was not state licensed. Former executives at the rehab came forward to say that the facility was committing fraud, required no traditional drug training for staff, and regularly preyed on vulnerable families of addicts.
So just keep all that in mind when you see John Travolta enthuse about the effectiveness of Narconon. There’s a clip from Entertainment Tonight above and the text is below. John made the speech at a big party over the weekend at the Scientology Celebrity Centre. Among the other celebrities who attended were Jenna Elfman, Laura Prepon and Parenthood’s Erika Christensen. ET interviewed Erika after John’s speech and she parroted all his talking points.

Travolta: The Celebrity Center is a place where I’ve come to since 1975 for all sorts of reasons, but it’s my oasis in Hollywood. This year in particular I just had a message I wanted to give to the industry. So tonight for the first time ever I spoke up. Impromptu. It was not a prepared speech.
[Travolta on the pulpit] We’ve lost way too many artists to drugs. There’s people that are looking for solutions, and their solutions are drugs, and that I understand completely, but when you have a program that is designed to help you solve your problems different, but more importantly immediately getting you off of drugs, cleaning your body of the adverse effects of those drugs and then getting a new start.
It’s not just a detox program, it’s a detox program that takes full responsibility for the reasons you started to begin with. I don’t want to lose any more artists, it’s too much already.
Erika Christensen: What Jon said is so easy to grasp, we all have the same idea. There’s too many people that we’ve lost. It’s got to the point in the last several years that it’s such an alarming rate. The fact that there are answers to these problems and we can stop this from continuing to happen is really important to get that known.
Travolta: Something needs to be done about all the artists we’re losing to drugs because I’m tired of it. We have in Scientology the answers to drugs. We have the answers to the solutions people use them for. We have the answers to detoxifying the body after the extreme use of them. Celebrity [centre] sounds like an oasis for all artists. In a very hectic town… you have a place to get relief if you need it. It’s a place for solace and for knowledge….
Kelly Preston: I think Celebrity Centre is an amazing place for artists to come to handle anything they want in their life. To gain tools to better their life in every single aspect. I have done the purification program here, detox, I have gotten tools as an artist. I have handled things in my life that I was wondering about or that I was having really difficulty with.

Kelly Preston then enthused a little about her son, Ben, two and a half. She looked a little tipsy but she wasn’t wasted or anything. I had a hard time figuring out if she’d had too much to drink or if that was just Xenu talking.
These celebrities sounded pretty desperate to get other “artists” to join their cult. The word has been out for years that Scientology robs their members blind, uses forced labor, splits apart families, imprisons people who want to leave, and tries to destroy the lives of anyone who dares question anything that leader Miscavige does. They’re surely hard pressed for members, not to mention high profile ones. Listen to Kelly and John shill hard for the cult. So where was Tom Cruise at this shindig? Where was Kirstie Alley?

Are Scientologists still watching Katie Holmes? Star's security guards ask photographers on movie set if they're working for controversial church

A list star Katie Holmes's security guards are on the look out for Scientologists who may be watching her a year after her divorce from Tom Cruise, photographers have revealed.

Photographers on the set of Katie's latest film Miss Meadows in Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday morning were approached by a plain-clothed guard, who then asked if they had been dispatched by the controversial church.

The guard allegedly said the actress's security detail had been told to 'keep our eyes open for anything suspicious and to report it', according to one photographer.

Once reassured of the photographers’ credentials, Katie's six-strong security team appeared to relax and the star chose to walk the short distance from base camp to movie set, abandoning her usual routine of being driven there in a heavily blacked out SUV.

Katie has been spotted with her seven-year-old daughter Suri on set and the photographer added: 'When security knew we were only trying to take pictures it definitely seemed to make a difference to how she and Suri are moving around.

'Katie was previously being ushered straight into a vehicle and we hardly saw her, but now she seems less anxious.' 

When asked if Katie's security guards were keeping a vigilant eye out for Scientologist spies, her spokeswoman insisted 'this isn't true.'

Burly protection officers have imposed a virtual ring of steel around the film beauty for the last fortnight as she shoots her new movie with co-star James Badge Dale.

In the film, Katie plays a 'well-mannered substitute teacher on a mission to rid her community of evil predators,' according to The Wrap. James Badge Dale plays a town sheriff who falls for her.

Last summer, website TMZ.com reported how several 'mysterious' men in cars had been spotted waiting outside Katie’s apartment and following her while out and about in New York amid her shock split from Tom Cruise.

A white Cadillac Escalade and black Mercedes SUV were seen outside her home, however Gary Soter, a lawyer for the Church, then insisted that the Scientology movement is 'not following Katie or conducting surveillance on her in the wake of her divorce with Tom Cruise'.

Movie heavyweight Cruise, 51, has been a devout spokesman for the church since 1990, later enlisting his wife and daughter into the ranks.

Strangers: Men in two different cars were seen waiting outside Katie Holmes' New York home and allegedly following her last summer following her split from Tom Cruise 

But it’s believed these religious ties ultimately led to the couple’s bitter divorce last summer when Katie refused to let Suri grow up under its shadow.

Scientology came back under the spotlight last month after another of its celebrity advocates Leah Remini quit the church after 30 years.

The King of Queens actress had endured 'years of interrogations' for questioning its leader David Miscavige, according to sources.

The rift began when she allegedly asked about the absence of his wife Shelley at the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in 2006, where Mr Miscavige was best man.

The question allegedly prompted an immediate backlash from former head of the Scientology Celebrity Center Tommy Davis.

Divorced: Katie Holmes stunned Tom Cruise by filing for divorce after five years of marriage in July 2013. The couple are seen here in March 2011 in Beverly Hills, California

After leaving, mother-of-one Leah said she was 'not about to shut up.'

'We stand united, my family and I, and I think that says a lot about who we are, and what we're about,' she told People magazine.

'I believe that people should be able to question things,' Remini explained. 'I believe that people should value family, and value friendships, and hold those things sacrosanct. That for me, that's what I'm about. It wouldn't matter what it was, simply because no one is going to tell me how I need to think, no one is going to tell me who I can, and cannot, talk to.'

She adds, 'It doesn't matter, it could be anything. I thought about the family being broken up for some other cause, and I'm not about to shut up.'

Since making the move to leave the Church of Scientology, Leah has reached out to thank her fans and colleagues for their support in her decision to leave - and is now believed to have signed up for the new season of ABC's Dancing With The Stars.

MailOnline has contacted the Church of Scientology for comment.
