Greasing The Gay Rumors...

John Travolta recently garnered a Golden Globe for his Hairspray performance. And, as happens, a number of the actor's friends decided to throw him a little bash, where Travolta made friends with his Broadway alter ego:

One highlight was when Travolta met Max Crumm, the young actor starring in Grease in the role Travolta made famous in film.

According to a spy, Crumm "planted himself right next to Mama Turnblad and was there through the end of the night."

Quipped another guest: "Well, guess we know what John is doing later tonight."

Corrupting a young up-and-coming actor, perhaps?

• This is why we love New York. The Broadway strike comes to an end and the cast of A Chorus Line dances through the streets. And that lead liner looks pretty cute. Maybe we should become theater queens…

NYU's Stern Business School just got its first gay group. How did they not buy into gay rights sooner?

Lesbian love quarrel flames: "A lovers' quarrel between two women got out of hand, police said, and one found herself nearly set on fire." Ow!

John Waters prove that gays boys make the best sons. The Hairspray creator escorted his beautiful mother to last night's premier in Baltimore, his home town.

The cast and crew - including Zac Efron, Elijah Kelly, Nikki Blonsky and John Travolta defender Adam Shankman - danced the night away after enjoying yet another viewing of the musical remake of the 1988 classic.

And, no, we don't think Mama Waters cut a rug, but we bet she could if she wanted…

John Travolta just got another pro-gay apostle. Hairspray director Adam Shankman joins Hairspray creator John Waters in defending the portly star from Washington Blade editor Kevin Naff's much-publicized "gay boycott".

Says the 43-year old gay filmmaker:

I am stunned this has gotten that far. [Naff] has made the dumbest claims on the entire planet. Everybody involved in Hairspray - all the creators - are gay. So John has no problem with people being gay - me, the writers, composer, John Waters - all gay. John's personal beliefs never walked onto my set. I never heard the word Scientology.

There you have it, folks: John Travolta loves men, especially when they're gay.

John Travolta had plenty to say to NY Times journo Jesse Green. Like what? Well, he again defended Scientology's allegedly homophobia, “Scientology is one of the least homophobic religions. It’s not very interested in the body at all.” Except restricting it, of course.

The Hairspray star's words fall a little flat after Green's wry opening:

We had only just met, but John Travolta, big and handsome and hypnotic, was fondling the lapel of my navy blue blazer. “Ooh, what a great idea to match this with a cobalt blue shirt,” he cooed. “I wouldn’t have thought of that.”

You're a good actor, Travolta, but not that good.

John Travolta and John Waters chatted it up at last night's Hairspray premier in Hollywood. We're not certain, but we have a feeling they're talking about Johnny Knoxville's meat. And how Mink Stole looks fabulous.

Note the conciliatory look in this last picture, it's almost as if Waters is saying, "There, there, John, we all know you're straight".

• Scientologist John Travolta had a few words for gays protesting his cross-dressing, John Waters-endorsed appearance in Hairspray.

There is nothing gay in this movie. I'm not playing a gay man. Scientology is not homophobic in any way, in fact it's one of the more tolerant faiths. Anyone's accepted.

As long as they assimilate to pre-determined Scientological "lifestyles" and sacrifice their rational thought, brain and soul.

• Gay for pay porn star Marc Dalton continues to make his parents proud: a domestic dispute violated his probation and landed him back in jail. And he'll probably be there for the foreseeable future.

• Did Kate Moss leave Pete Doherty because he cheated? If his junk problem didn't come between them, we're sure they can reconcile a moment of sluttiness..

Object To, Plan To Boycott Over Travolta's Scientological Madness

travoltaskips.jpg
Some theatrical gay activists are taking on the musical remake of John Waters' cult classic, Hairspray. It seems the drama-ramas are making some drama over Scientologist John Travolta's dual roles as Edna Turnblad and Arvin Hodgepile. As you know, those crazy scientologists don't believe in medicine, faggotry or fun of any flavor.

Now Washington Blade managing editor Kevin Naff's helping rally the troops for a good old fashioned boycott. He tells MSNBC:

Travolta, a prominent Scientologist, has no business reprising an iconic gay role, given his [religion’s] stance on gay issues. It’s well known that Scientology rejects gays and lesbians as members and even operates reparative therapy clinics to ‘cure’ homosexuality.

Naff goes on to suggest that Divine, who originated the roles, is "spinning in her grave". Um, Naff obviously doesn't know Divine. That bitch is probably gathering strength to reanimate, eat her way out of her grave and wreak havoc on all of Tinsel Town. Except West Hollywood, of course…

And Eastern Europe Got Worked Over

GLAAD may not be about gay defamation, but they're all about male objectification. The media watch dogs have joined forces with Mega Muscle to insure your next wank helps a good cause: them. 100% of preorders of Playgirl Men of the Year Derrick Davenport and Julian Fantechi go straight to GLAAD.

Inside the steamy world of the LA's homo-hop club scene: Most clubs have kind of a clubby atmosphere. First Fridayz LA is more of a party, a gathering, social networking and dancing to hip-hop music. We do it at non-traditional gay clubs so someone who is not in the life or [someone who is] in the life can come and experience this without being intimidated. It’s not a traditional gay club.”

• 20-year old former marine James Hardy pleaded guilty to strangling Raymond Catolico and then stuffing his body under a sink. Hardy's been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Tom Cruise

The always quick to sue Tom Cruise is upset again. This time he's annoyed with Princess Di biographer Andrew Morton who is looking for dirt on the Scientologist dad-to-be.

Morton isn’t going at it alone. He has hired a private investigator with a past to help him out; a one time gay porn star.

But this isn’t just any gay porn star turned private dick. This is Paul Barressi, the man who in the 90’s gabbed to the National Enquirer that he had a long-term affair with that other L. Ron Hubbard-loving thespian, John Travolta. Of course, Travolta denied the accusations and proved his heterosexuality to the world by marrying Kelly Preston shortly after the report. Dissed by Danny Zukp himself.

This leaves us thinking that private detective work could turn out to be a career projectory for (we have to say it - alleged) Scientologist-loving gay porn stars. Wonder what Kyle Bradford is doing these days.
