John Travolta Too Big A Diva To Guest Star In Glee

Britney Spears. Kristin Chenoweth. Neil Patrick Harris. Gwyneth Paltrow. All of these entertainment personalities managed to find the time, stamina, and choreography to appear on Fox’s hit series Glee for some song, dance, and good will among tweens. Not joining the list: new papa and awards show critic John Travolta. In between jetting off with his male buddies and reviewing spas around the world, Travolta just doesn’t have availability. Plus, he needs much more time to prepare, you guyz! “They’ve asked,” Travolta says of Glee‘s producers. “It’s the thing that when I do musicals I train for six to nine months, up to a year. I really have a criteria or pride. … I would wanna knock em’ dead, and I don’t think I can in a week.” A week of prep might be fine for mere mortals, but it just isn’t enough to deliver the True Travolta Experience.

Thank Xenu he didn’t! And shame on Glee, if this story is true.

Based on what I see of him these days, he’s ‘too big’ for many things. But in fairness, why would he be on Glee? He was in Grease but not really a singer.

I would bet $100 Scientology doesn’t approve of the gay-positive message at the heart of Glee.

That and John Revolta isn’t sure he could keep his hands off the adorable actor who plays Finn, Cory Monteith. This might prove awkward for the rest of the cast.

lets examin these shall we…

Britney Spears. Did it to keep her self relevant in between albums and because Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were ruling the airwaves and most critics agree, it is one of the worst episode GLEE has done.

Kristin Chenoweth. Has done some Broadway, a few TV Shows, and some movies. Not a star in any way. Hot though.

Neil Patrick Harris. Not a movie start but a TV actor who isn’t even all that huge. Calling him huge is like calling someone on ENTOURAGE huge. OK, he is gay. Big deal.

Gwyneth Paltrow. Other then IRON MAN, has never really been that huge of a star and wasted her SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE heat. A fine actress regardless but not really a big deal for her to be on a popular show like GLEE or GREY’S ANATOMY or whatever HIT show is ruling the air.

John Travolta, like it or not, is WAY more famous then the entire GLEE cast/show combined.

He really seems to bug you all. You seem to want to control his choices–not very different from the people who want to control your life.

@XOXO: The gays really seem to bug you. You seem to want to control their choices – not very different from the space aliens who have taken over your mind.
