Travolta in Drag: Is this Shocking?

In an amazingly overblown bit of nonsense, pictures have arisen showing John Travolta dressed in drag. Decked in a white dress, with visible bra, brown belt, fur stole, earrings, and necklace, Travolta does not make the most attractive woman. Nevertheless, *cough* — so what? Isn’t this the 21st century? Nevertheless, the Enquirer is running with it, adding a dubious back-story hanging on their pathetic credentials as a news source that Travolta was not dressed in drag for a movie, but — God forbid! — because he actually enjoys it.

The back-story is in line with the typical high-quality tone and noble message of the Enquirer: Travolta’s wife of 6 years, Kelly Preston, is upset about the scandal, is leaving him, there is a $200 million dollar settlement, blah blah blah.

The only reason they are reporting on this is because a few male masseuses have alleged that Travolta sexually assaulted them. This includes the allegation of a 40-year old black belt who recently withdrew his $2 million lawsuit.  The man, John Truesdale, had lost a job 8 years ago for being ‘sexually inappropriate’ with clients and co-workers, so his story is dubious and is probably simply preying on the media hoopla surrounding the case.
