John Travolta

At last night's premiere of his new film Savages, John Travolta and Kelly Preston made their first public appearance together since he began being bombarded with lawsuits from men alleging sexual harassment and battery.

If the scandal is taking a toll on their marriage, you wouldn't know it.

John and Kelly posed for cameras and smooched, to boot:

The duo showed off their love, or their coordinating fashion.

Kelly and John did not do interviews but posed for fan photos and were all smiles as they walked down the carpet and into the theater hand-in-hand.

Both have been absent from the public eye since men started coming forward in May with lawsuits and sordid homosexual tales about the actor.

The accusations stem from pair of masseurs, a cruise ship employee (Fabian Zanzi) and two others from his past (Doug Gotterba and Robert Randolph).

No charges have been filed against Travolta, who has adamantly denied each and every claim by the above men through his attorney, Marty Singer.

Savages also stars Blake Lively (Gossip Girl), Taylor Kitsch (John Carter), Aaron Johnson and Benecio Del Toro. Look for it in theaters July 6.

Fabian Zanzi, the cruise ship employee who claims John Travolta exposed himself to him during a massage in 2009, is suing the actor for assault.

Zanzi is suing for unspecified damages, TMZ reports.

Travolta, who was a passenger on the ship, ordered food and asked that Fabian Zanzi personally deliver it to his Royal Caribbean room, the accuser says.

When Zanzi came in, Travolta allegedly asked for a neck massage, then when Zanzi asked for his neck, John exposed his erect penis instead.

He then forcefully embraced him, Fabian said. Zanzi resisted.

Fabian, who did not initially claim sexual assault, claims that Travolta offered him $12,000 to not say anything, and that the cruise ship management "refused to allow him to write out any details regarding nudity or sexual contact" with the star.

Two masseurs also came forward with lawsuits this spring, claiming the Hollywood legend assaulted them sexually; both suits have since been dropped. Robert Randolph and Doug Gotterba have separately alleged gay trysts with Travolta.

Travolta's attorney just released a statement regarding Zanzi's lawsuit, claiming, "This is another ludicrous lawsuit with inane claims."

John Travolta is being sued by author Robert Randolph, who accuses the movie legend of numerous gay trysts and consequently claims that Travolta spread lies about Randolph's mental health in order to diminish his credibility.

Robert claims he personally saw John engage in gay sex at various bathhouses.

The book, entitled You'll Never Spa in This Town Again, details Travolta's alleged sexual exploits with other men, including Randolph himself.

In his suit, Randolph claims that as he was releasing his book, Travolta and his powerful attorney Marty Singer unleashed a P.R. attack against him.

They claimed, Randolph says, that he had mental issues and had been institutionalized, all as a calculated attack to paint him as an unreliable source.

Randolph claims the plan worked and that retailers were deterred from selling his book. He is suing both Travolta and Singer for unspecified damages.

Another alleged Travolta gay lover, Doug Gotterba, is also said to be writing a book. Re: Randolph, a rep for Travolta has issued a statement saying:

The pilot claiming he had a six-year gay affair with John Travolta is negotiating to reveal all the details in an explosive tell-all book, reports say.

Doug Gotterba was John's pilot in the '80s, and according to Doug, his former secretary and Doug's ex-boyfriend, he and the actor were lovers.

The Enquirer reports that Doug already has two writers lined up to help him tell his story, "confirmed his desire" to expose everything he knows.

"It could be a marriage-ender," an insider told the Enquirer, saying that the book could be career-crushing and devastating to John's wife, Kelly Preston.

"Even though she wasn't married to John at the time, she's already been terribly humiliated by this ugly scandal that doesn't seem to end."

"A book by a man who John carried on with for years could simply be too much."

After all, it follows a month that saw two masseurs come forward to slap John with lawsuits - later dropped - claiming he was sexually aggressive.

Since then, more men have stepped forward claiming much of the same, though the actor vehemently denies all allegations via his attorney.

John Travolta briefly surfaced Thursday night to honor his friend Shirley MacLaine at the American Film Institute, appearing in public for the first time in awhile.

He has kept a very low profile amid a series of lawsuits involving male-on-male sexual misconduct and allegations of a gay affair (with pilot Doug Gotterba).

There was no discussion of that last night, just a tribute to MacLaine. Travolta spoke on stage, alongside Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts.

The 58-year-old actor said, "Several years ago, Warren Beatty was talking about a young actress. And I said to him, 'What was she like?' And he said, 'She filled the room with presence like I've never seen before.'"

"And I said, "You know your sister, Shirley? She fills the room with presence.'" Travolta then added, "She fills the world with presence like no one I've ever seen before."

"And that's my Shirley. And I love you."

"Shirley MacLaine is first a dancer, and when you move from Broadway to film to television to writing to directing, you have to move with the grace of a dancer. To train and push harder than you ever thought you could."

Well said.

Outspoken supermodel Janice Dickinson loves her some John Travolta.

“I worship John Travolta,” the 57-year-old says of the A-list actor who has found himself embroiled in an ongoing, humiliating sex scandal.

Travolta, whose former pilot Doug Gotterba says they were lovers in the 1980s, has been hammered with one accusation after another this spring.

Dickinson isn't buying it.

Janice defends her longtime friend, saying, “If some queens took something the wrong way in a massage parlor, that’s their f*%king fault!”

“I am not outing him,” she said when told about Carrie Fisher saying everyone knows John Travolta is gay, and sang his praises instead.

“He is a legend; he is iconic. When Kelly was delivering their baby, he was in the room giving her what she wanted. He provides for her,” Janice says.

Janice, notably, would not say if she thinks Travolta is gay or not. With her trademark colorful language, she says just live and let live, people.

“If you want to f*%k a chicken, go f*%k a chicken,” advises Janice.

Words to live by right there, if ever we've heard them.

After a week or two of relative quiet, the John Travolta sex scandal has exploded again with a new report that the actor had a six-year gay affair with his pilot.

Travolta and Doug Gotterba were lovers in the 1980s, according to Travolta’s former secretary and Gotterba’s ex boyfriend, who spilled to the National Enquirer.

We know, we know, it's the Enquirer. Grain of salt. But 1) these are just the latest in a LONG string of people alleging similar things, and 2) Rielle Hunter.

Joan Edwards was Travolta’s secretary from 1978-1994 and is the first ex-employee to publicly say the actor is gay - a surprisingly common revelation of late. 

“I did everything for him, including taking care of his personal and professional schedules. Of course I knew he was gay. It never bothered me,” she said.

Carrie Fisher has also said John Travolta is gay. Edwards says specifically, she knew of Travolta's affair with Gotterba, who began working for him in 1981. 

"That's how I met Doug. We both worked for John at the same time. Doug is a wonderful guy and we are still good friends," she told the celebrity news mag.

"He told me that John was gay and they had a sexual relationship," she said.

Doug Gotterba is not quoted by the Enquirer about his relationship with Travolta. The tabloid says only that he confirmed his employment with the actor.

But Gotterba’s post-Travolta boyfriend, Robert Britz, confirms that and more.

"Doug told me right at the beginning of our relationship that he'd had a homosexual relationship with John Travolta in the 1980s," Britz recalled.

John Travolta's second masseur accuser, John Truesdale, will no longer be known as John Doe No. 2 after the New York Daily News unearthed his name.

Reporters from the paper tracked down the Mandarin Oriental Atlanta hotel employee in Georgia. You can follow this link to see a photo of Truesdale.

The 250-pound, 40-year-old masseur is an ex-football player and certified black belt who sought to remain anonymous while accusing the star of sexual battery.

He can forget about the anonymous part now.

"I thought I was supposed to be anonymous," Truesdale said outside Smyrna, Ga. home. "The paparazzi are here for me? I can't believe it," he laughed.

Aside from cracking a few jokes, he didn't reveal much, declining to talk to reporters about claims that Travolta stripped naked and started humping a massage table in front of Truesdale, among other things, in a private hotel suite in January.

"I can't talk about [the case]," he said. "I'm not allowed to comment."

In a surprise move last week, Truesdale dropped his lawsuit against the actor ... then hired Gloria Allred to represent him, which can only mean another suit.

Just two days after John Travolta's first accuser filed papers to dismiss his sexual battery lawsuit against the actor, the second accuser has followed suit.

The second accuser, also a male masseur, just fired his lawyer and will reportedly file new papers in an effort to dismiss the lawsuit in the near future.

The second accuser had claimed Travolta assaulted him on January 28 at an Atlanta spa resort. Travolta allegedly grabbed the masseur's penis, etc.

It's the last remaining lawsuit against Travolta, as both the third accuser (Fabian Zanzi) and the fourth accuser who came forward today have not filed.

The first accuser, who had claimed a similar junk-grabbing incident occurred on January 16 at the Beverly Hills Hotel, dropped his lawsuit on Tuesday.

Attorney Okorie Okorocha, who repped both accusers, claims he doesn't know why his second client called it quits, but both have hired Gloria Allred.

John Travolta is quick to deny reports that he paid off the men.

His lawyer, Marty Singer, says, "Not one penny has been paid nor do we have any intention to pay any money for these ridiculous and false claims."

Two days after the first accuser dropped his lawsuit, a new man has come forward accusing John Travolta of sexual misconduct, making for in all.

The fourth accuser is a gym employee who accuses the star of groping and fondling him against his will. Travolta's lawyer, obviously, denies it.

"As a result of the published lies about my client we expect some John Does to come out of the woodwork and assert false claims," Marty Singer said.

The previous three men are:

1. John Doe #1, an anonymous masseur who hired Gloria Allred to represent him after being dropped by his previous attorney last week.
2. An Atlanta based masseur, also anonymous, who alleges sexual assault at a hotel and who is being represented by Okorie Okorocha.
3. Former Royal Caribbean employee Fabian Zanzi.

The gym employee-personal trainer claims he would open the gym for John Travolta when he was on location for a film shoot, after hours."

He did this as a courtesy for the Grease star, so he could enjoy privacy but maintain his fitness fir a physically challenging role he was doing.

The man says that inside the gym, John Travolta groped and fondled him against his will," though further details are scarce at this time.
