I walked in and the guy was giving John a blowjob and, like guys do, he pulled his head up when I walked in. Then they left the room. … I decided to follow them. There was an empty massage room upstairs where guys could go and have sex. I followed them up there and I went in the next room where I normally got my massages, and I watched them have sex. Full-blown sex. Anal. … He does do more masculine gay guys, but his thing is straight guys,” Randolph says. “He pulls them in because they’re shocked and impressed that it’s Travolta and that they’re hooking up with him.

A. We already have heard these facts for years.
B. Straight guys routinely have gay sex.

A.] Could be true. A lot of people doubted all of those wide-spread stories about Rock Hudson being gay too for many years.
[B.] Straight men do have sex with other men – “gay for pay” hustling, porn, prison, etc.). And besides, according to Masters and Johnson, only about 1/6 of human males are 100% “straight” anyway. Current sex research also verifies similar numbers.
[C.] What do you expect in a repressive hetero-centric society where many gays feel that they have to participate in their own oppression in order to keep their jobs. This is especially true in the gay-saturated entertainment world which accrues enormous profits by catering to the appetites and delusions of, mostly, heterosexuals. They like to pretend that all of their “heroes” are straight, and they get upset if they find out otherwise. There a very insecure bunch of twats, actually.

The thought of that fat, ugly, pudgeball Travolta having sex with any one or thing is repugnant! My gag reflex is in overdrive!

Of course the stories are true. There are too many, for too many years, not to be. The National Enquirer is scummy but almost always gets it right.
rainfish2000
@Benjamin: Agreed, the National Enquirer also broke the story about John Edwards cheating on his cancer-ridden wife and his fathering an illegitimate baby during his Vice Presidential campaign. Edwards also had the audacity to claim that “Marriage was a sacred thing just between a man and a woman” and that he objected to marriage equality for “religious reasons”.
So yes, the National Inquire got it right when most of the so-called “mainstream” media arrogantly scoffed at Edwards story as just mere rumor mongering by the tabloids.
Obviously, John Travolta does have the same attack-dog Scientology cult-mob lawyers that Tom Cruise has or he would have sued by now.

I wouldn’t believe anything in it (and remember, the article is about a specific alleged incident, regardless of Travolta’s sexual orientation, whatever that may be, and regardless of whatever other stories are out there).

First, this Robert Randolph guy is creepy. Check out his website: trackingtravolta.com. He repeatedly talks about what a kinky pervert Travolta is. And he knows, because he freakin’ WATCHING HIM. Yeah, that makes sense.
Second, if Travolta was having sex all over L. A., and you can sell photos of, like, Heidi Montag farting for fifty thousand bucks, WHY HASN’T ANYBODY TAKEN A PICTURE? Hmm? “Ohmigod,” they think, “there’s John Travolta getting buttfucked. Too bad my cellphone camera is eighteen feet away.”

QUEERTY dumped a post due to a “database error”. Try searching for
‘”National Enquirer” lawsuits’ using Google and you’ll get quite a list. If you look at the wikipedia page for it, you’ll read that “The National Enquirer (also commonly known as the Enquirer) is an American supermarket tabloid now published by American Media Inc (AMI).

It is simply not a reliable news source.

This has become so tiresome. How many times is the National Enquirer going to out him? They’ve been doing it since the 80’s. Good grief, if he actually is having sex – good for him. Who gives a royal crap, obviously his wife doesn’t.

what str8 dude has sex with a bloated john travolta just because he’s john travolta? unlikely.
rrr
@gomez: My guess is they would be guys claiming to be straight who really aren’t and/or guys desperate to make it in showbiz who think he might help them out.
jason
What they probably mean by “straight guys” is guys that are predominantly straight in their orientation but have some residual same-sex feelings that materialize when women aren’t available. This form of sexuality is much more common than you think.
These guys often have a very masculine swagger and demeanor that is light years away from the stereotypically feminine demeanor of the twink set, for instance.
Seb
I have to wonder if all these stories were true. If they weren’t, surely Travolta would sue the Enquirer, even Queerty, and put an end it it all?

____________________________________-
You seem to not be living in the present day. With the liable laws etc… the paper would be crushed if they printed a completely false story.
Additionally, If it was false, Travolta would have filed suit. He hasn’t.
Lastly, the Enquier was just nominated for a Pulitser Prize for investigative Journalism for researching and breaking the John Edwards Scandal. Edwards defense at first? The same as yours “Well it’s in the Enquier so it’s fake” Well in the end he ended up having to admit they were right.
With Travoltas resources there is absolutly no way in hell they would go with this story unless they had dcumentation, AND, if there was any chance it wasn’t true, Travolta would be suing them.

@B: You mean the same people that broke John Edwards and a plethora of other stories before the media started running with them? That National Enquirer? Hell, the National Enquirer probably has more credibility than some news outlets (see Fox News) at this point in time.

@Kev: Way to show your “gayer” side. People read posts like yours and think the gay community is shallow and look obsessed (which it isn’t). Way to represent. Maybe you can end up on “A Gays.”

Some “psychics” sometimes make predictions well before the mainstream media publishes anything – you make enough predictions and you are bound to come up with some that randomly turn out to be true.
Just because a scandal sheet occasionally finds a juicy story that doesn’t need any exaggeration doesn’t mean that the scandal sheet never makes things up, and the National Enquirer’s bad reputation in that regard is well known.
Regarding Cam’s comment, “Edwards defense at first? The same as yours” — Cam is confused. I wasn’t defending anyone but rather stating that I wouldn’t believe anything that came out of the National Enquirer. It’s purely a question of the National Enquirer’s credibility, which I consider to be zero. Just look at
http://www.mediaite.com/online/obama-sex-scandal-national-enquirer/ (dated May 1, 2010) stating that the National Enquirer claimed President Obama had an affair. The Enquirer’s claim that it had video tapes was subsequently retracted. Either you have a tape or you don’t. It’s pretty clear cut and there is no excuse for claiming you have one when you don’t.
As to Travolta’s alleged sex life, I could care less.

As any lawyer who has studying First Amendment law will tell you, the National Enquirer can’t print false stories without someone suing the hell out of it. They may traffic in sleaze and word some of their “revelations” carefully, but they have a better fact-checking department than a lot of so-called “quality” newspapers because they get sued more often. The NE does make mistakes and make retractions, but so do the NY Times and the Washington Post.
As for the “I don’t believe it” comments, c’mon. Travolta is belongs to a cult that specializes in preying on wealthy closeted celebrities to “cure” them. Also, don’t forget the photo of Travolta in a lip-lock with his “pilot.” http://towleroad.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/16/travoltatarmac_2.jpg

Definitely not true. Read http://www.expertlaw.com/library/personal_injury/defamation.html and specifically two parts: the one on public figures and the one on tactics (why suing may not be a good idea even when you can prove what they said about you was a lie).
For a public figure: “Under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, as set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1964 Case, New York Times v Sullivan, where a public figure attempts to bring an action for defamation, the public figure must prove an additional element: That the statement was made with “actual malice”. In translation, that means that the person making the statement knew the statement to be false, or issued the statement with reckless disregard as to its truth. For example, Ariel Sharon sued Time Magazine over allegations of his conduct relating to the massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Although the jury concluded that the Time story included false allegations, they found that Time had not acted with “actual malice” and did not award any damages.”
The section entitled “Why Commencing A Defamation Action Is Not Aways A Good Idea” give the downsides to filing a suit (e.g., sometimes you end up with a lot more people hearing a false accusation as the mainstream press covers the trial, and the press is more likely to cover a trial,or at least the fact that the suit was filed, than the verdict in such cases.)

The point was the credibility of the National Enquirer. It has nothing to do with the cult Travolta apparently belongs to (that’s his business). The Enquirer has printed so much garbage over the years that many of us won’t trust anything we see in it.
If the story is true, all you have to do is to produce a credible source.

Hi there. So Travolta’s a closeted gay – you know my brother is gay and would tell you that he readily also has sex with women and fell in love with one. We thought he’d marry so the point is that I believe the Masters and Johnson statistics having grown up with someone who is gay. I myself am bisexual and really I logged on to read this and found the comments funny except when calling someone a TWAT. Really? You want to be equal yet use offensive language to women. I know not everyone is like that, but I’ve found in my time when you use that sort of language it generally goes hand in hand with racism, sexism and all the isms that add to the hate everyone already faces in America.
Clean up your gutter mouth dude. When YOU say something out loud and you belong to a group you should understand that people look at you as the example.
ML
Correction: thought he’d marry HER. He did marry in Europe – a man actually.

Human males have an incurable sex drive that know no limits. It is essentially testosterone driven, and the resulting experience is ultimate pleasure. Men f%$k swimming pool vents for pleasure. Babies are raped in South Africa to cure AIDS. Ten year girl/women have babies from incest and step father rape in ALL counties. The prime sexual directive (the urge to merge)is why so many women are vulnerable when they get drunk. They drop their social conditioning and do what’s natural. Fortunately , in this country we have condoms, abortions and abortion pills. In Mexico, the age of consent is 12, absd regardless of age, it is iollegal to abort a child after three months. Ergo, the news headlines about tenb year olds having children.
So finding horney guys is really no challenge. If there was no society bqased shame in male to male contact, there would probably be more of it. The ancient Romans incouraged male to male bonding amongst their soldiers to incourage greatly loyalty, and we know the ancient Greeks practiced it as part of their way of life.
Whether it is for pleasure, or fetal brain brain development, homosexual sex has been around a long time. Travolta is just more sex/orgasmically driven than others. And his wife is not the first woman to live with a homosexual man and make the most of it for family security/wealth reasons.
