More Male Masseurs Coming Forward To Accuse John Travolta Of Sexual Advances
It seems that more and more men are speaking of actor John Travolta alleged inappropriate sexual advances. So far two unknown men have come forward with the claims seeking $2 million compensation. A third man, cruise ship worker Fabian Zanzi, has said that Travolta offered him money for sex while on a cruise in the Caribbean. A source also told The New York Daily News that there was another incident with Travolta and a masseur five years ago at an Arizona resort that was smoothed over by the star’s publicist. The allegations against Travolta by the first man have been questioned however after it was proven that Travolta in New York at the time that the mystery man claimed that the incident happened in LA. The man is now saying he got the dates wrong but also released a strange statement saying: ‘Even though Mr Travolta and his counsel are on opposing sides in this matter, I do wish them good health, happiness, and want them to be judged with absolute fairness as our great nation affords all citizens regardless of their wealth or station.’
A book released in 2010 also accused Travolta of being a spa sex pest. You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again dishes the dirt on the secret world of celebrity ‘gay spa sex.’ Author Robert Randolph says that John ‘makes Tiger Woods look like a boy scout.’
‘I met John in 1998, after he’d married Kelly,’ Robert told the Enquirer. ‘I believe the marriage is a total fraud because John is into guys and has been having sex with them behind Kelly’s back for years,’ he said. ‘He came on to me a number of times. I always turned him down. But there was always some guy who was willing to have sex with him. And John didn’t stop cheating on Kelly after either of their children was born.’
Now a former staff member at the five-star Peninsula Hotel on Fifth Avenue has said that the actor was banned for about three years for ‘inappropriate behaviour.’ It was claimed that  male staffers complained about Travolta removing his towel, grinding against the massage table and lifting his butt in the air. ’Travolta would always request a man for his massage, but after a while no one would take him because of his inappropriate behavior,’ Michael Caputo, a former masseuse at the hotel said. ‘It got to the point where they couldn’t find any men to take him, and they had to ban him,’ recalled the masseur who said he worked at the Peninsula from 1992-2008.
Meanwhile John’s wife Kelly Preston has given an interview saying she used to smoke, drink and do drugs but she opted to change her ways for the sake of the couple’s family. ‘I’m so different, now I don’t drink anymore. I don’t smoke anymore. I don’t do drugs anymore. All of those come with an “anymore.” I used to do everything and a lot of everything. With drinking, I just decided that I wasn’t always at my best. There were times where I drank too much, for sure,’ she said. While the interview with Amanda de Cadenet was filmed a couple of months ago, the release of it is interesting timing. Despite her confession, we don’t think it will do much to deflect from the accusations about her hubby!

Beyonce gossipBeyonce Hits Back At ‘Crazy’ Rumours
New mum Beyonce Knowles has finally spoken out about the rumours that she was not really pregnant with daughter Blue Ivy but that she was instead carried by a surrogate. ‘That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy,’ she said to People Magazine. ‘[I thought] “Where did they come up with this?” I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months,’ she says. ‘As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.’
The rumour regarding Beyonce’s pregnancy started after she gave an interview on Australian TV and as she sat down, the fabric of her dress billowed and her baby bump appeared to crumble. ‘It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid,’ she said. ‘There was so much love and well wishes from all over the world — it made it easier to deal with the stupid rumors.’ Now that she has shot down the rumours, perhaps she can reveal her secret for getting back into shape so quickly!

Brad and Angelina To Make It Official!
After years of speculation Brad and Angelina have finally made it official and revealed that they are engaged. After jeweller Robert Procop let slip that he had helped Brad design an engagement ring for his girlfriend of seven years, Brad’s manager  Cynthia Pett-Dante substantiated the good news saying: ’Yes, it’s confirmed. It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time.’ And the ring is no ordinary sparkler. The emerald cut diamond with tapered baguette stones on the band was codesigned by Brad himself who had been working on the design for a whole year! Procop’s team said in a statement ‘Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration with Robert. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect.’ And far from still being the victim, Brad’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston was said to be thrilled by the news. A friend of Jen’s has told the HollywoodLife.com: ‘Jennifer is happy for Brad and Angelina. She is so in love with Justin, that she is really grateful how things turned out. In a strange way if it weren’t for Angelina, Jennifer would not have connected with Justin in a romantic way. Jennifer is in a really wonderful place right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if she even went to their wedding.’ Well we’ll see about that!

Staying Civil For The Kids
Another showbiz marriage bites the dust! Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli marriage  was long by Hollywood standards but then rumours started to fly that the Twilight hunk was stepping out on his Beverley Hills 90210 wife and last week Peter, 38, filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences”. The couple, who have three daughters together, Luca, 14, Lola, nine and Fiona, five, started dating in 1996 and had been married 11 years. ‘They’ve been working on the marriage for awhile,’ a friend of the couple told US Weekly. ‘It was not something they took lightly. It’s been over for months, maybe even a year. They kept up some sort of charade for their kids.’
And while it must be difficult, Jennie admits: ‘We are great parents together so when it’s about the kids, it’s wonderful. We make it very clear to them they don’t have to choose sides,’ she adds. ‘They can go wherever they want and be with whom they want.’
Jennie is even considering moving back to Los Angeles, so she and the girls live closer to where Peter is. ‘I want the girls to have more access to their dad,’ she says. ‘I like him to be able to pick them up from school. I just want everyone to be healthy and happy.’

Rupert Penry-Jones: The Naked Truth

Posted by Editor On March - 23 - 2012 ADD COMMENTS

Whitechapel ITV Rupert Penry JonesWhen they first receive a script, actors often scan its pages to count how many lines they’ve got—or, if it’s a TV series, to see if their character gets killed off. Rupert Penry-Jones is no different, but he’s got an extra reason for having a thumb through—he wants to find out if he has any naked scenes. And he utters an almost audible sigh of relief when he discovers he doesn’t.

Robert Downey JrRobert Downey Jr Setting The Gossip World To Rights?
No one likes to admit that they are a gossip but we all like to hear the latest rumours and stories, particularly when they are about the rich and famous and Hollywood is no exception. Many a celebrity has been photographed buying and reading the latest gossip magazine whether it is a story about themselves or about their contemporaries and competition. Well someone in Hollywood seems to have gone one step further and started to confirm or deny blind celebrity rumours on gossip sight Crazy Days and Nights. The person, or people, who go by the handle Himmmm, got very vocal last week about some of the seedier side of Hollywood and the casting couch. ‘I have no issue with ANYTHING people voluntarily do in their private life as long as it is consenting – (kids and animals cannot consent!), and NOT hurting another mentally or physically,’ Himmmm said. ‘I’m no saint, especially in my youth but am close these days-lol.’ He went on to say:  ’I do this for fun, and occasionally to try and right some wrongs (even my own). I don’t use an anon name because it’s false info I share… I have to be anon because it is TRUE! We ALL love Blinds and gossip because we’re human. Flawed, but human.’ With a few clues dotted amongst the comments, people started guessing who the insider could be and the common consensus at this stage seems to be that it’s Robert Downey Jr. The star, who spent time in jail for drug abuse but has now cleaned up his act, is well connected and respected in Hollywood and had his fair share of trouble in the past.  Regardless of who it is, they have certainly picked up some respect along the way for not letting abusers hide behind their fame.

gossipHappiness Is A Pad in LA!
New York and the TV series Friends may have made her famous but Jennifer Aniston has turned her back on the Big Apple and she has never been happier. ‘We tried New York,’ Jen said about her and new beau Justin Theroux, ‘but it felt like I was [living] in a fishbowl,’ she told an Australian radio show. ‘Justin still has an apartment there… It was a little rough with the paparazzi. It didn’t feel like the New York I grew up in and knew,’ she continued. The couple have now settled in LA and are much happier there. In fact so much so she has put her happiness levels at a ’10+’! ‘You have a more relaxed sense of the world and life,’ she explains about her new zen like attitude to life, ‘and you realize there’s nothing to be taken too seriously besides doing your work and being a really good person.’

Whitney HoustonWhitney’s Final Farewell Filled With Drama
It should come as no surprise that after a drama filled life and a sudden death, that Whitney Houston’s funeral wouldn’t be a straight forward affair. From the guestlist (who would show and who wouldn’t) to where she would be buried, it has all been a bit of a circus. Firstly ex-hubby Bobby Brown stormed out just moments before the service was about to start but soon returned explaining later that he felt that he had been messed around with the seating at the service. ‘My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston,’ Brown, 43, said. ‘We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us to move.’ Then Whitney’s godmother Aretha Franklin, who was expeccted to perform at the funeral, withdrew saying she was too ill to attend, yet performed hours later at Radio City Music Hall, New York, in one of the fastest recovery we’ve seen to date. She did pay tribute to Whitney during the performance by belting out I Will Always Love You and while she offered no explanation for her absence at the funeral, she did say: ‘She was a very fine young lady, one of the best, greatest singer. She was giving, gave so much of herself. God bless you, Nippy,’ she concluded. ‘We’ll always remember.’

Demi’s Daughter With Her When She Collapsed
It seems that Demi Moore’s daughter Rumer Willis was by her mother’s side when she collapsed last monday night. During the emergency services call, the caller can be heard asking for the address saying: ’Hey, Ru, what’s the name at the gate so that we can buzz them [the paramedics] in from here?’. Reports have claimed that Demi was inhaling nitrous oxide (nicknamed whip-it) and smoking a synthetic marijuana known as K2 before her sudden collapse and seizure. However the Los Angeles district attorney has said all drug references must be removed from the 911 recording to protect Demi’s privacy. The actress is recovering well now with director Patty Jenkins saying at the Directors Guild Awards in Hollywood: ‘I just saw her and she’s doing great, Demi is awesome and so strong.’ Friend and actress Kirstie Alley has also expressed concern that Demi has had to play this troubled time out in the public eye. ‘It’s sad that a lot of stuff is public knowledge,’ she says. ‘With situations like this, you could deal without everybody knowing about it. From what I know of her and from people who know her say, she’s an amazing, strong woman and I hope she’ll be all right.’ Let’s hope she is!
