About the only thing Travolta should envy is Hanks’ hair from “Da Vinci Code”! John’s piece at the Oscars this year was as fake as Eddie Murphy’s speech after losing best supporting actor.

>why don’t you just go ahead and list all the huge stars in Hollywood that openly admit that they’re jealous of other huge Hollywood stars AND openly admit they’ve made huge mistakes.<
My point exactly – if everyone does it, then why when Travolta does IS IT NEWS?

You’re onto something Jakeem…maybe Cage and Travolta periodically have that improbably face-swapping procedure as they star in several truly horrible movies before bouncing back with a solid effort, then making a couple more stink bombs, then coming up with a huge box office hit, and so on.

My problem with John Travolta is that he and Nicolas Cage have pretty much had parallel careers ever since they did the movie “Face/Off”! They’re like interchangeable actors now, although I couldn’t imagine Cage doing “Hairspray”!

Not to get all cultwatch or anything, but Scientology isn’t just silly. It’s also pretty nasty. The famous people don’t get to know about the truth, because the “church” gets so much publicity from their membership.
Scientology is one dark, controlling, and vicious-if-questioned cult. True, it is ridiculous, but it is also highly retributive. It’s got a ton of front organizations, a ton of money, and an evangelical zeal about its tenets, including the idea that psychiatry is evil.
When I look upon a famous Scientologist, I have to question his or her intelligence, gullibility, and willingness to be pampered and lauded as an evolved magical being, no matter what the cost.
Lafayette Ronald, wherever you are, you’ve done a terrible disservice to humanity.

Ok, kcholt, I was just saying that I suspected that was the reason Joshua thought this was news, but since you don’t think it’s news, why don’t you just go ahead and list all the huge stars in Hollywood that openly admit that they’re jealous of other huge Hollywood stars AND openly admit they’ve made huge mistakes.
I also don’t really get this Scientology hangup that people have with him and Cruise. Although, Cruise is much more in-your-face about it than Travolta, what does it matter that either of these guys choose to believe in what most of us consider to be a silly religious cults with aliens? I just want to be entertained and these are two of the guys who’ve done it the best in my lifetime.

I think both of these guys are terrific! They are so different you can’t compare them. I love there work because they put there heart and soul into what they do. They are my faves.

The last movie I saw him in was Pulp Fiction. He would have been perfect in Chicago.
