Fabian Zanzi, a former Royal Caribbean Cruise Line steward, has dropped his sexual assault lawsuit against actor John Travolta.

The move comes after a judge denied Travolta’s attempt to move the proceedings to arbitration, a victory for Zanzi but also a development that meant the legal battle was about to enter a more expensive phase.

John Travolta, hit by several gay-related lawsuits this year, had a victory in court Friday when a judge in Los Angeles ordered an author to pay the actor approximately $140,000 in legal fees.

Robert Randolph had sued Travolta and his attorney Marty Singer in June alleging that the pair harmed his reputation with false statements and hurt the sales of his self-published book You'll Never Spa in This Town Again which alleges he had sexual encounters with Travolta and other celebrities.

John Travolta, already hit with several gay-related lawsuits this year, is now being sued by a pilot who wants to be able to speak publicly about what he says was a six-year affair with the actor.

Doug Gotterba claims in a lawsuit filed this week that he was threatened with legal action by Travolta's attorney Marty Singer after he reportedly spoke to the National Enquirer about his alleged relationship with the actor.

Kirstie Alley says John Travolta, her co-star in three Look Who's Talking films, is not gay.

Travolta has long been plagued with speculation about his sexuality - especially this year as he faced a series of sexual harassment allegations from various men.

None of the allegations have been proven and Alley, in an ABC News interview previewed Wednesday (7 November), addressed the speculation.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Thursday (27 September) dismissed a lawsuit against John Travolta filed by the author of a self-published book called You'll Never Spa in This Town Again.

Robert Randolph sued Travolta and his attorney Marty Singer in June seeking unspecified damages. He alleged that the pair harmed his reputation with false statements and hurt the sales of his book which alleges he had sexual encounters with Travolta and other celebrities.

Dax Shepard, one of the stars of NBC's Parenthood, has revealed a big secret in his new interview with Playboy.

He has a man crush on Burt Reynolds, the top sex symbol in movies in the 1970s who starred with Shepard in the 2004 hit movie Without a Paddle.

British pop singer Robbie Williams used his appearance at GQ's Men of the Year awards to bury persistant rumors about his sexuality and crack a gay joke about John Travolta.

The former Take That member attended the ceremony with his pregnant wife Ayda Field.

'I was Googling myself today and the first search that comes up is gay,' Williams admitted.

'I’ve got a wife that’s pregnant so that’s put paid to that one,' he said before joking that he could be deep in the closet doing the 'full John Travolta'.

A man who claims he had a six-year affair with John Travolta has alleged the Hollywood actor wanted to make a sex tape with him.

The Grease star has been rocked by a string of apparently unfounded sexual accusations from male masseurs and Travolta’s former secretary, Joan Edwards, claimed that the Hollywood actor had a relationship with pilot Doug Gotterba.

Gotterba has now sold his story to National Enquirer, telling the US gossip magazine that Travolta pressured him to video their saucy bedroom antics.

Hollywood actress Rashida Jones has apologized for saying Hairspray star John Travolta should come out and say he is gay.

In an interview with Spinning Platters to promote her new romantic comedy Celeste & Jesse Forever, Jones talked about the importance of closeted A-listers being open about their sexuality.

She said: ‘A movie star. Like, John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this!’

From 1975 through 1979, Ron Palillo played a high school student Arnold Horshack alongside John Travolta's Vinnie Barbarino and others on the ABC sitcom Welcome, Back Kotter.

Palillo died this morning at the age of 63 after being found by Joseph Gramm, his partner of 41 years.

He, Travolta, Robert Hegyes and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs played the members of an unruly group of remedial wiseguys known as the Sweathogs opposite Gabe Kaplan as their teacher.

Rashida Jones is busy doing interviews to promote her new romantic comedy Jesse & Celeste Forever. But it's her remarks about John Travolta that has people buzzing.

In an interview with SpinningPlatters.com, the conversation veered away from the movie and over to the importance of closeted gay movie stars coming out.

Jones, one of the stars of NBC's Parks and Recreation, has some opinions:

It must be hard being John Travolta recently, with the continuing rumors surrounding the Hollywood actor’s sexuality.

So it is understandable he has taken some time out with wife Kelly Preston to holiday in a beautiful island of Greece, Mykonos, also known as one of the world’s greatest gay destinations.

While Travolta was surely hoping Greece would be the word on everyone’s lips, plenty of people are asking why he would choose a ‘gay’ island for vacation.
