EVEN SCIENTOLOGISTS COULDN’T SAVE JOHN TRAVOLTA’S GOTTI MOVIE

But oh, how they TRIED! It took YEARS and many changes for John Travolta to finally get his Gotti movie finished and he hoped it was his role of a lifetime. But it turned out to be a disaster – critics lambasted everything about the film (including Travolta’s “gallery of wigs”) and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rare score of ZERO %! Scientologists remember the embarrassing failure of Battlefield Earth, the film they produced starring Travolta, and they vowed to do whatever they could to save Gotti. They advertised the movie with a Scientology inspired philosophy “Audiences love Gotti, but critics don’t want you to see it – judge for yourself.” Suddenly, numerous positive reviews appeared online praising Gotti – suspiciously written by people with new email accounts who had never written reviews before. It didn’t help – once again, crime didn’t pay.

JOHN TRAVOLTA’S GOTTI MOVIE FINALLY PREMIERED AT CANNES

John Travolta and Kelly Preston are at Cannes presenting their Gotti movie and it looks like he’s changed his hair color. It’s hard to imagine Kelly playing Victoria Gotti, but if the film is at Cannes, it can’t be bad. John actually wears some of the Dapper Don’s clothing in the film and Pitbull provided the soundtrack. John’s been struggling with this movie for YEARS – directors and actors came and went – including Lindsay Lohan – so hopes for the movie weren’t particularly high. But Travolta never gave up – the movie was actually finished a few years ago, but John insisted on the right distributor and that took more time. Gotti opens June 15.

JOHN TRAVOLTA: FROM SCIENTOLOGY KINGPIN TO MAFIA DON

Against all odds, that John Gotti movie about gangster father and son, that’s been talked about for SO MANY years is actually being made! The new title is The Life and Death of John Gotti. And it’s a family affair – John Travolta is starring as the flamboyant mobster, his wife Kelly Preston is playing his movie wife Victoria Gotti, and their daughter Ella Bleu, 16, is playing the Gotti’s daughter Angel. Sounds weird, but back in 2011, Lindsay Lohan ALMOST had the role of Victoria and Ben Foster was asked to play John Gotti Jr! After years of script, director, and money problems, the film is full steam ahead – shooting in Manhattan. (Entourage’s Kevin Connolly is directing!) Travolta IS getting into character (above) and we love his new hair – he should keep it that way. We can’t help thinking about the similarities between Scientology and the Mafia….

JOHN TRAVOLTA: DID SOMEBODY MENTION SCIENTOLOGY?

AG068148_08travoltcut

Longtime Scientologist John Travolta has been laying low since the HBO documentary “Going Clear” blasted the suspicious organization. He brought along his son Benjamin for a visit with Letterman, and by the looks on their faces “The S Word” must have come up in an unflattering way. Travolta is promoting his new movie “The Forger” and we bet that talk shows won’t invite him on unless he addresses the Going Clear documentary. So far he insists that the so-called religion is “misunderstood” and advised critics to read the book “Dianetics” by L Ron Hubbard.

JOHN TRAVOLTA TURNS ON THE CHARM WITHOUT HIS TOUPEE

We can’t help but wonder what John Travolta, 60, was thinking when he posed for this selfie with a guy in his gym. He doesn’t have his hair on! Even more interesting, what was John doing working out AT 3 AM at Planet Fitness, not far from the Clearwater, Florida, Scientology center. The young male fan who posted the photo on Reddit was thrilled to see the actor and dumfounded when John asked him all sorts of personal questions like whether he was married and what did he do with his spare time. We already know what John does with HIS spare time. Actually, John is probably going bare-headed in preparation for his role as Robert Shapiro in “American Crime Story,” which details the OJ Simpson trial.

HBO WON’T BE BULLIED BY SCIENTOLOGISTS

Top Scientologists have no doubt been scheming and laying plans in preparation for an assault against the upcoming HBO Scientology documentary that promises new and juicy revelations about the so-called religion and its followers – including Tom Cruise and John Travolta. No stranger to controversy, HBO commissioned the documentary two years ago – right after the book “Going Clear” was released. The book includes filmmaker Paul Haggis’ experiences as a Scientologist. Producers are already bracing themselves for a legal attack from Scientology lawyers with plenty of legal counsel of their own. According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO hopes to show the documentary at Sundance and have a 2015 airdate. We can hardly wait!

JOHN TRAVOLTA HAS A PENCHANT FOR “MARLBORO MEN”

John Travolta’s problems are never over. His former boyfriend, Doug Gotterba, who worked as his pilot for six years, is following through with his plan to write a tell-all about their time together and he’s already slipping secrets to The National Enquirer. Apparently he couldn’t be talked out of it! John hired Doug in 1981 and they traveled the world together – with connecting hotel rooms – and no one ever suspected! Doug described Travolta as having a huge sexual appetite and he even wanted all-male threesomes. The pilot knew that John saw other men and described his preference as “macho men with mustaches and Levi’s.” Doug feels sorry for John’s wife Kelly Preston, but we suspect they have some kind of agreement.

WHAT’S THAT ON YOUR CHIN JOHN TRAVOLTA?

AG033661_09johncut

Who can explain this wad of hair on John Travolta’s chin? It was incorrectly identified as a “soul patch” but in fact that term describes a thatch of facial hair right under the lower lip. This chin decoration is some form of a mini-goatee. Maybe John uses it as a distraction – to pull the eye away from his hairline in the unforgiving bright sunshine in Cannes. Kelly Preston is rocking quite a wad of diamonds – and we bet she earned every one of them. (We love to poke fun at John, but we have to admit we actually like him!)

OH NO! JOHN TRAVOLTA IS DOING IT AGAIN!

newtonjohntravolta_#17Ecut

Last year John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John surprised us all with their holiday album “This Christmas.” Their singing duets from the 1978 movie Grease had been a huge success so they decided to try it again. The awkward album debuted to mixed reviews (described as “schmaltz,” “train wreck,” and in other unflattering terms.) The only video from the CD (below) is equally weird and suspiciously Scientological. Anyway, John is apparently undaunted by these minor setbacks, and is now aiming to release a pop CD of his own!

KIRSTIE ALLEY AND HER UNREQUITED LOVE: JOHN TRAVOLTA

It’s funny how fellow Scientologist Kirstie Alley is the only one alive who thinks John Travolta is not gay. Or SAYS she thinks that. When all those masseurs and airline personell started crawling out of the woodwork blabbing about their romantic liaisons with John, Kirstie was quick to call them all liars. She ought to know – Kirstie had a crush on John in 1989 and while promoting her new TV Land series (above) recently gushed to Howard Stern that he was “the greatest love of her life” although she resisted having an affair because she was married. Keep in mind, Scientologists are encouraged to LIE or do anything necessary to protect members of the church. If only Leah Remini would comment on this.
