I can't recall knowing about rumore about Travolta, either, but if the accusations are true, it's interesting to consider the Scientology connection.

I've heard the rumors about both for years, and always thought it an odd coincidence that they're also the two most famous faces of Scientology, and both (potentially) closeted.
I'm not sure what Scientology's stand is on sexual orientation, but you can certainly think of other reasons why Cruise and Travolta would not want to come out. Either, of course, has all the money he'll ever need (and I don't recall seeing Travolta in anything for a while, so maybe he's decided the same), but Cruise is obviously still very interested in maintaining and building his career. And his particular star image is one that still, unfortunately, risks being damaged if he comes out. Thanks to all the other stars who've come out already, I think we're in transition on this, but we're not quite there yet for a star of Cruise's type.

I saw John Travolta in a recent movie called "From PAris with Love" with Jon Rhys-Meyers. It was a shoot-em-up about terrorists in Paris, and it was surprisingly good!

I LOVED Travolta in that movie, Lee. I've seen it six times so far. Funny thing is, I went to see it at the theater because I'm a Rhys-Meyers' fan; yet, he was almost invisible compared to Travolta's badassed badass role.

And I just saw Travolta in the trailer for Oliver Stone's new movie "Savages" so the guy is still working...

So far, it looks like his Vinnie Barbarino charisma is still holding on. I wonder if this is swept under the rug, he will keep on doing the same
thing he has always done, and using his sweet, hail fellow well met attitude to get around all his until now hidden faults.
