The real problem with Scientology, second-most famous Scientologist John Travolta argues, is that people outside the religion haven’t actively tried to educate themselves about the major issues.

L. Ron Hubbard began Scientology’s “Project Celebrity” in 1955, offering a list of 63 high-profile targets and a “small plaque” as a reward to anyone who successfully brought the likes of Bob Hope and Ernest Hemingway into the church. “There are many to whom America and the world listens...” Scientology’s blustery founder wrote in a newsletter announcing the plan. “It is obvious what would happen to Scientology if prime communicators benefitting from it would mention it now and then.” Sixty years later, was Project Celebrity a success?

Update: “John approached him and asked if he was married, if he had kids, what he did in his spare time, and then started talking about his private jets. He said they talked for a while.”

When pilot Doug Gotterba spilled the tea on his alleged six-year affair with alleged man who sleeps with men John Travolta to the National Enquirer in 2012, Travolta's camp slapped him with a cease and desist. That's about as revealing as Travolta himself walking right up to Gotterba, slapping him on the face with a lavender glove, and hissing, "Now hush, D'Artagnan."

Here's John Travolta at Sunday night's Oscar ceremony, introducing the star of Frozen... Adele Dazeem? Uh...? Who's that?

This is a recent commercial for the Ypióca brand of Brazilian cachaça (liquor made from fermented sugar cane) starring John Travolta.

At least they didn't key it. Quentin Tarantino's 1964 Chevelle Malibu, driven to fame by John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, was recovered in the Bay Area this week. The convertible was reported stolen in 1994.

Butt-chinned actor John Travolta faced a messy litany of sexual charges last year, accusations that varied in size, shape, and credibility. Most famously, there were the two John Doe masseurs, a pair of anonymous muscle-rubbers whose tag-teamed lawsuit claimed the celebrity Scientologist separately turned their private massage sessions into predatory gay assaults. There was also Fabian Zanzi, a former cruise-ship employee who claimed the VIP guest rubbed his "erect penis" against him. (Both suits were ultimately dropped, both followed by an abrupt silence.)

The sight of a reunited John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John flash-frozen like a pair of extra-creepy BigSmile mannequins on the cover of their new holiday album may have been enough to spoil your Christmas spirit in perpetuity, but seeing the duo in motion could very well put an end to joy as we know it.

Behold: The cover for This Christmas, the upcoming joint holiday album from the reupholstered pods that once held the souls of former onscreen lovers John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. It looks like they're having a hot-cocoa-and-gift-wrapping party, how neat.

Last week, Rashida Jones had the audacity to point out the obvious about John Travolta.

It's been a while since we talked about John Travolta and his (allegedly gay) penis, but wouldn't you know it — the actor's legal team is condemning another masseur's claim as false.

Eight new gay groping claims, two scrotum assaults, and one anus attack later, John Travolta's masseur-gate is in full swing—not that you'd know if you only got your news from The New York Times, which has yet to file a report on the megawatt star accused of manhandling nearly enough service industry employees to field a baseball team.

As more masseurs claim sexual harassment by John Travolta, the backstage drama is just heating up. Okorie Okorocha, the original attorney representing John Does #1 and #2, is now suing celebrity attorney Gloria Allred for poaching his clients.

More "fiction" says John Travolta's legal team: yet another masseur has come forward with allegations against the actor. This, of course, begs the question, how often does John Travolta get a massage?

John Travolta's first masseur accuser may still be John Doe, but Masseur #2 now has a name.

The masseur known as John Doe #1 has dropped his sexual assault lawsuit against John Travolta just days after claiming he got the date of alleged incident wrong.

In what may be a major break for John Travolta, the first masseur who accused him of sexual assault has now changed an important detail in his story, claiming that the attack happened at a different date than the one stated in court documents.

The lawyer representing the two masseurs accusing John Travolta of sexual assault says more may come forward very soon.

After decades of rumored gay bath house orgies and Scientology "cures," John Travolta's sex life is back in the news with sexual battery charges from a pair of male masseurs. Running parallel to the story of John Travolta's rise to fame is the story of his allegedly gay penis' rise to infamy.
