LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. singer Lisa Marie Presley says critics of Scientology shouldn't use Jett Travolta's death as an opportunity to attack his parents or their religion.

Presley and Jett's parents -- Hollywood stars John Travolta and Kelly Preston -- are Scientologists.

Jett Travolta, who reportedly had suffered health problems for most of his life, died of a seizure disorder last week at the age of 16 while he was on vacation in the Bahamas with his family. He was cremated Monday and his parents brought his ashes home to Ocala, Fla. Tuesday.

Some Scientology critics have speculated Jett's parents didn't get him proper medical care due to their beliefs.

"Folks, as popular as it has been to discriminate and ridicule Scientology and Scientologists in the recent past, now is not the time," Usmagazine.com quoted Presley as saying on her MySpace blog. "It is not true that Scientologists 'don't believe in' medical care, medicine or medical doctors and that may have something to do with this terrible tragedy. Just like anyone else, if one is sick, they go to the doctor. If a medication will make it better, then they take it. If they don't, then they are an idiot, and you can't blame their religion. Whatever medical and or physical condition Jett had, I can tell you first-hand that his parents were on a tireless, never-ending quest to get and provide him with the absolute best care anyone could ever ask for and need -- medically, physically, emotionally, medicinally and spiritually."

She added that she wasn't taking to the Internet to preach her beliefs.

"I am here to protect my friends," she said. "Please let this family grieve in peace."

TMZ said a private memorial service is being planned for Jett Thursday in Ocala. Only close friends and family are expected to attend, the entertainment news Web site said.

Winehouse drops Norwegian drug appeal

BERGEN, Norway, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Amy Winehouse's lawyer says the British soul singer has changed her mind and decided not to appeal a fine she paid for possession of cannabis in Norway.

Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were arrested in Bergen in October 2007, held overnight and released after each paying a $436 fine.

However, Winehouse, who was denied entry in the United States after the incident, later claimed police made mistakes and sought an appeal in the case.

She and her husband were scheduled to appear at an appeals court in Bergen next Monday, but their attorney said the couple decided not to pursue the matter any further.

"After a careful review of the whole matter, they decided to drop the appeal," Ole Kvelstad told the BBC without offering any details.

Fielder-Civil is in prison for assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Jonathan Ross set for BBC return

LONDON, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- British television and radio personality Jonathan Ross is to return to his BBC shows this month, following a 90-day suspension, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Ross was suspended without pay from his shows for three months after he and comedian Russell Brand left lewd messages on the voice mail of 78-year-old "Fawlty Towers" star Andrew Sachs during Brand's BBC Radio 2 show, and the segment drew widespread criticism.

Brand, Radio 2 head Lesley Douglas and David Barber, the executive who cleared the stunt for broadcast, all resigned because of the incident.

The Hollywood Reporter said Ross, who has publicly apologized for his role in the silly prank, will be back on television Jan. 23 and on the radio the following day.
