LaineyGossip – There was a party recently to celebrate the imminent arrival. So he took the opportunity to get dressed up, full lady costume, with his male friends, and sing and dance and flail about, and let the real him fly for a change, at least the afternoon, just like in the movies, while his expectant wife looked on… or away, I guess, depends how you see it. They say he feels free in character, this particular character. But it wasn’t an open invitation for everyone. These curious affairs never are. Even the wait staff was required to have come off the same space ship. Like mandatory. While he would have preferred tall, dark, and handsome too, in this respect, at least lately, she’s been able to overrule him. Impulse control, however, has never been his strength. He’s been on a very, very short leash.
Easy peasy…Travolta!
Yep. . . the pic kinda even reminds me of him.
Wow. There just isn’t anyone else it could be- it’s not really even blind. His character form Hairspray, the Scientologist waitstaff, the expectant wife… I’m just assuming that Lainey Gossip doesn’t know about the faux belly. Not all of the gossip outlets seem to.
let them real him “fly”
love travolta no matter if he is gay
I think I would like him better if he were just to come out and say that he is gay. And that scientology is a scam.
Wow, sounds like John Travolta is flipping out. Poor guy, he should just come out and get on with his life.
Mr. John Travolta.
Out of lurkdom to guess John Travolta!
Hi BG, read every day!
Hi Bill! We see you all the time! Love, BG
OMG BG!…does that mean you can see us when even when we’re lurking?!? Yikes! You must think I’m a stalker.
I’m not…I swear.
Oh my. And the imminent arrival is ‘his’ child. He really is just falling apart…
“Let the real him FLY for a change”, “Even the wait staff was required to have come off the same space ship”. So Travolta. He needs to come out already.
“just like in the movies” – JT played drag and sang/ danced in 2006 Hairspray movie. Probably kept the costume
Travolta! He should just be happy and come out.
I was going to guess Orly for a change, but the clues just stick it to Travolta with super glue!
Yeah I was also going to guess Orlando but it fits Travolta to a T.
i wish he would just come out already…
geez, what’s with the sudden urgency of outing Travolta?? If he is doing all the things these blinds say (and the tabloids too)then he isn’t trying to hide it much. Leave the guy alone. He has had enough sadness in his life and he still seems like a very nice person. I say leave him (and his wife) alone. Does it really hurt anyone else if they choose to have a “fake” marriage. Obviously it works for them!
BTW I do love this site, but I feel real bad for John Travolta and had to vent. Thanks!
maybe you belong to xenu too?
try not to make it to obvious next time……just saying
A lot of the buzz is saying that Travolta himself is putting out these stories because he really does want to come out. So the more that is already out there, the less shocking it is when he finally does. A smart way to break away, if you ask me.
I agree.
maybe if celebrities like travolta had the strength to be out and proud then we wouldn’t be losing so many kids to suicide.
my wish is for travolta to out himself in a video for the It Gets Better project: http://www.youtube.com/user/itgetsbetterproject and finds some real happiness in his life.
Maybe he dressed up as his character in Hairspray.
Yup, Travolta FTW! This one is about as blind as a bat. (That is to say, not at all.)
Aren’t bats blind though?
Not at all!
John Travolta.
but dont we all agree Kelly isnt really pregnant? I think the previous blind is about her wearing a fake belly.
It’s really sad that JT can’t escape all these people and be himself….Run Johnny RUN!
I’m beginning to get a complex because I’ve never gotten a personal greeting from BG even though I’m here almost every day. Hmmmmph.
Gitano – You are one of our favorites. How could you not know we care? Love, BG
I used to feel like that but not anymore cuz I got a personal greeting from BG the other day LOL
My life is now complete. Thanks, BG!!m *Kisses*
Poor Johnny
say it loud say it proud….Travolta Travolta Travolta…. Why dosn’t he come out?? NO ONE and I mean NO ONE will be suprised..duh!
I think a lot of straight males think he is straight. My husband thinks I am strange because I think Tom Cruise and John Travolta are gay.
Agreed!
I have a sister who thinks I am nuts when I say Travolta is gay. She won’t even believe it even after seeing him kiss the guy on the airplane steps. I wouldn’t even dare try to tell her about the fake pregnancy. I think she would try to have me locked up lol.
Me too my brother doesnt believe me!
I don’t think his controllers (Scientology) will allow him to come out.
Wow, reading the extent that some people will go to to keep up the front- Just sad, sad, sad…
FREE JOHN TRAVOLTA! FREE JOHN TRAVOLTA!
I think I want that t-shirt! LOL
Run Travolta run!
I think Travolta has went over the edge with the death of his son, Kelly’s fake pregnancy and his hiding in the closet. He may see himself as being trapped and this has unhinged him. Something is obviously going on with him being in the news more frequently and not in a good way. I think he may need some mental help and not from the scientology crew…..
I agree with you. JT seems to have gone off the deep end if all the stories are to be believed. However, he made his bed with Xenu years ago. Does anyone think they would willingly let him off the mothership? I am beginning to just pity the guy.
the scientology crew wont give him any mental help, they don’t believe in mental disorders, remember the whole tom cruise/brooke shields broohaha.
Freaks! Their whole “religion” is based on psychology! Arghhhh!!!
“Even the wait staff was required to have come off the same space ship”… a nod to his movie Battlefield Earth and Scientology.
spaceship… scientology… his wife just had a kid… travolta…
but to shake it up… tom cruise?
I agree with everyone else, must be JT, but how sad that he can’t live his life openly.
BG you compile all the best stuff here!
Thanks, Gee! Love, BG
And he’s a pilot, so the ‘fly’ reference fits.
My heart is breaking since he’s been my crush since 1978, but it’s got to be John Travolta
I know!!! I wanted to be Mrs. Danny Zuko!
I am really curious as to why your heart would be breaking. Why would the fact that Travolta is gay make any difference to your enjoyment of the characters he played on film? I just don’t get how that works. And why couldn’t you have a crush on a gay man?
Just because I loved him in a way a girl has a total crush on a guy. I will always love him as an actor and I hope whatever he chooses he’ll be happy in his personal life. I have nothing against anyone’s personal preference, trust me! I also think plenty of gay men are cuties but just knowing they are playing for the other team changes things up a little, you know?
Why is wrong with these scientology wives? There are other (and younger) fish in the sea, ladies.
Let him out! Darn these people all ready! But to me, the pic looks like Stanley Tucci….just sayin
Let John T out that is….not Stanley. LOL
Tucci’s wife is dead, not pregnant.
Hugh Laurie from House
Johnny T is out of control! He really is coming out with a bang. CofS must be worried. Layne’s items are hardly blind, are they?
John be loud and proud!!! Welcome to 2010!!!

john travolta was working on a big movie that a friend of mine worked outside of the usa. one of the younger cast members was sitting around at an after party listening to john give him advice. then john asked him if he wanted to go back to his room and get it on. he wasn’t shy about it. maybe he just has an arrangement with kelly. maybe they just both wanted kids, maybe he wanted a cover, maybe they are great friends. obviously he’s closeted to most of the world, but it doesn’t seem like he’s afraid to do what he wants to do!
I have a friend who is a production assistant and has done some t.v. and movies. When Ted Casablanca published one of his Seymore BVs early this year, I asked him if he thought JT could be gay. My friend said that it’s open knowledge that Mr. Travolta is gay, and that Ms. Preston has boyfriends on the side who visit her on set when she’s filming. Bless their little CoS hearts…
Hey BlankGirl, did your friend get lucky that night?
I love JT, way back to welcome back Kotter
OK, all these JT blinds forced me out of my own LURKING closet! BG, if only you knew how much time I have spent reading your blinds – addictive!
Going back to the spa blind for a minute:
I totally think that JT uses spas as one of his sources for his penchant for the male species. I had a very good friend who was the senior massage therapist at a high end resort on one of the Hawaiian Islands. I happened to be spending the day at the spa, one day when JT and Kelly were visiting. She sat by the pool while John got a “treatment.” from my friend. I don’t think my friend said specifically what happened, but he was all a-twitter afterward.
He was not the only star to get worked on by my friend, and it seems there were several who were very comfortable having very deep work done in sensitive places.
My 73 year old Mother declared recently, after my sharing some blind or another: “I swear, I think all of Hollywood is Gay!”
We Love Aloha! Love, BG
I agree w/ mostly everyone that it’s Travolta.
Here’s my reasoning for the clues:
imminent arrival – Kelly’s pregnancy
dressed up, full lady costume – role in Hairspray
sing and dance and flail about – Grease or Hairspray
let the real him fly – he’s a pilot
expectant wife – Kelly
the same space ship – Scientology
very, very short leash – reference to the movie “Old Dogs” ?
Also, my friend’s stepbrother used to wait tables at the Rainbow Room in NYC when he was in college back in the mid-late 80′s. He was an attractive fellow and Travolta would always request to sit in his section. He said that he would always be there with the same guy but a different girl every time. Never just he and the female or he and the guy. He said he was always very nice and thought he might be gay. None of us believed him. Totally different story now!
Correct!
Although I love hearing the “my brothers, uncles, cousins father” stories about Travolta. I wish someone that it happened to would tell us a story. Preferably if it happened:-)
With all the sadness surrounding the deaths of several young gay men because they were bullied or outed in horrifying ways, who can blame John for hesitating? But I think if he finally were to come out on his own terms, it would have great meaning. Yes, sadly, he’ll lose some fans, but most of us who think he’s a gifted and just good human being will continue to love him, if not even more.
Come out, Johnny, come out!
you are absolutely right
hi. i’m really late to this party. i just got home. is it redundant to say i think this may be, oh, i don’t know – john travolta?
i’ll add this, however. someone mentioned him hesitating to come out after the recent rash of suicides among gay kids. while i see how this could make sense, i think it might be backwards. those kids were *powerless* in society, and apparently in their personal lives.
travolta, on the other hand, is power*ful*: he’s a male, a world-renowned movie star, wealthy beyond compare, an american – it doesn’t stop. if he came out, he could help *stop* the bullying, not the other way around.
problem is, he’s in – or should i say allegedly in? – the closet, and therefore probably feels powerless (in the face of his wife and the space-ship dwellers).
so come on, john. if not for yourself, step out for the kids. think how many you’d help.
*CLUNK!!!* – whoops. excuse me. that was me falling off my soapbox.
Be sure to see next week’s OK magazine.
don’t get me excited for nothin’, carpenter!!!!
Come on John!…Man up and come out already!
So how is “boinking other guys in LA saunas” would spell a very, very short leash?
And somehow can’t find it in myself to pity a multimillionaire with and penchant for cross-dressing and his own plane.
there’s no doubt that Travolta is what he is – the question is whether he himself is doing the leaking or whether CoS is threatening to expose him if he attempts to leave and giving out some of their information to show him they mean business…?
I feel sorry for him – but where CoS is involved, you don’t know what might be at risk for him in the future if he causes ripples – and they would be pretty big ripples because he is such a big and well-loved star…
Maybe if he is the pilot that bring Opera to Australia for her show maybe they will come out together. Wouldn’t that put the world into a spin.
I just watched the BBC Panorama programme where journalist John Sweeney returned to his investigation of the CoS after *that* infamous rant. He speaks to ex-members whose stories are lessons in cruelty, including releasing one woman’s “confessions” anout her sexual past, and the CoS’s official line says to all the allegations is “they’re lying”, or “they agreed to it all”. It’s heartbreaking to see and now I can understand how it, and Kelly, have such a strong hold over JT.
Maybe these recent influx of BI’s are coming from him, to cushion the fall from grace he thinks he is going to suffer. One ex CoS member (minor celeb, I forget his name) said in the programme they were actively encouraged NOT to look up stories regarding the CoS online, and I believe JT could very well not realise what a strong base of support he already has.
In any case, I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and this story will get a lot weirder before it is resolved. Poor guy.
I just watched the programme this weekend. It was so good!…a must see for everyone…creepy though. I’ve never understood how any rational adult can be pulled into a cult like that, but I guess they (CoS) prey on the weaknesses and deeply buried secrets of their members. I’m convinced that the auditing machine is actually a lie detector. So they hammer and hammer at a person until they give up the goods.
The minor celeb is Jason Beghe.
The e-meter is a lie detector. A very primitive one. It’s a whetstone bridge, which is the basis behind any kind of modern galvanometer, including basic lie detectors. A couple of guys in Chanology took one apart two years ago; there should be YouTube vids available about their analysis of it.
You can build an e-meter for about US$20-30 from parts you can get at Radio Shack. CoS charges thousands of bucks for theirs.
John Travolta. It’s so sad in this day and age people can’t just be themselves. I mean really?? Haven’t we evolved?
I can’t believe Lainey made this one so easy. There are so many clues that it is John Travolta.
sounds like danny zuko… but i would jus like to travolta- we know u r here – and please just come out!! lying to yourself is horrible!!!
James Franco .. it has been on tmz, pereez etc all morning
