   Tabloid runs photos of John Travolta in drag, says they're not for a movie role

John Travolta is now at the center of a media storm, as various male masseurs have stepped forward to claim they were harassed by him on various occasions. The National Enquirer is adding fuel to the fire by running photos of the star in drag.

You can see the latest cover of the tabloid in the image attached. The captions leave no room for doubt as to what the tab is trying to say: here is Travolta dressed as a woman, therefore, we have proof he is gay.

“World Exclusive: Travolta Cross Dressing Scandal!” one headline screams out in large block letters.

The tab also claims the actor's wife, Kelly Preston, has learned of the photos' existence and decided their marriage could no longer last.

“Kelly tells John: 'It's over!' Their $200 million [€159.2 million] bombshell,” it further says.

The National Enquirer also claims the photos were not snapped on the set of a movie; that is, he wasn't in character, he was dressed in that pink dress and blonde wig (with matching pink lipstick) for pleasure, not business.

Fans of the actor must already know that, so far, at least 7 men have come out of the woodwork to claim the actor tried to have inappropriate contact with them after booking them for massages.

The claims of a few have already been pooh-poohed by Travolta's attorney, but the matter is far from being over.

While all this is playing out in the media, to the delight of tabloids, the actor and his wife have refused to make any comments.

Kelly recently sat down with Amanda de Cadenet for an interview on The Conversation, but she only spoke about how Scientology helped her deal with the tragedy of her son's death, as we also reported at the time.

The actress praised the cult for helping her deal with the pain of losing her 16-year-old son, but also for showing her that she can still have a life and be happy after such a tragedy.
