John Travolta Should Totally Keep This Look
What is it with men who are losing their hair? Either they go insane trying to cover it up with a bad weave, a horrid toupee, or some spray-on hair, or they invent all sorts of strange and weird hairstyles to either cover it up, or they live in complete denial (I’m talking to you, skullet-sporters). Why can’t they just come to terms with it? Embrace their lack of follicular activity? Besides, everybody knows that bald men don’t waste their hormones growing hair. Hey, I ain’t sayin’, I’m just sayin’.
Personally, I think if a man is losing his hair, the best thing he can do is grab the bull by the horns (metaphorically speaking) and just shave it off. That’s right, let the wind tiptoe through your scalp, proudly proclaim that you comb your hair with a towel (thus shaving a lot of time off your personal toilette, pun intended), and show off that shaved pate with pride. Case in point: Rumored baldie and crazy Scientologist guy John Travolta, who has been caught out for the past several years wearing all manner of really nawsty wigs, weaves, and whatnot on his dome. But check it out…he cast aside the rug, shaved what was left of it off, and dare I say it? Dare I mention it? Well, somebody has to do it, and it may as well be me. He looks hot!
Now, if we could just get him to cut off that whole Church of Scientology thing, that would be total major not fail.

I’ve always been conflicted about John Travolta. I grew up watching Grease and Saturday Night Fever, and have always liked him, I don’t like the fact he is a scientologist,I just can’t enjoy his movies as much as I did in the past. That doesn’t mean I still don’t enjoy them though.
I think he should have chose to shave his head a while ago. The look really works for him, and I think he looks much more handsome this way.
Horry for no more terrible rugs!
Boo for not sleeping and rambling like a madwoman.

I think JT should take Jason Beghe’s lead, and do some public anti Scientology/Hubbard rule system reconciliation, and break free from the Hubbard/system chains and speak candidly about the lows he’s experienced in the Hubbard system.
The Hubbard/Scientology rules are what’s making those left holding the Hubbard bag dodge all the valid public backlash against the Scientology/Hubbard mess.
Some A list celebrities like John Travolta need to follow Jason Beghe’s lead, and just speak candidly, and publicly violate Hubbard’s stifling rules that keep them all silenced (Jason being the first major exception in the movement’s history, Jason calls it like it is.)
Hubbard’s totalistic system keeps the Scientology A list celebrities silenced, like that system keeps all the Scientology members silenced from sensible criticism of the glaring flaws in Hubbard’s rule system. (The most glaring rule insanities is the excommunication tactics that split friendships and families; the rabid toxic anti psychiatric Hubbard/Scientology strategy deadest on the unrealistic goal of tanking and replacing psychiatry and other forms of mental health; the behind closed doors petty physical violence perpetrated for 25 years cyclically by David Miscavige, the “Pope” of Scientology staff hierarchies).
John Travolta on his way out of Scientology, should speak against the Hubbard system publicly and set a good example like Jason Beghe has.

Love his movies. I am concerned that the Scientology information I have studied is so widespread - and damaging. I have decided to take part in the next local protest here in WNY based on what I have learned locally (Buffalo)
John T. great talent and love the new look! Do you believe Hubbards word or do you just accept them??
P.S. Don’t drink the koolaid.

I used to really enjoy JT’s movies, but knowing that he contributes million to a cult as nefarious as $cientology means he’s on the boycott list.
Just think of how much good he could do if he left the cult and got psychiatric care for his autistic son.

Hmmmm. A great way to look less vain, but not the way to look “less gay”. Not that he doesn’t look great like this, ’cause he does. It’s just a super-extra-gay-leather-daddy kind of great. Which is, well . . . great.
Comment by Artoo45 — November 11, 2008 @ 6:47 pm
Wow! I like his move to take off from the top and grow out the facial hair, because I thought his mouth in recent years was looking a bit weird. I don’t know why, I think it had Cameron Diaz syndrome or something, and this makes it look better. Maybe she should grow a goutee?
Seriously, I haven’t thought he was good looking since they re-released Grease in theaters like ten years ago. But now he looks pretty good! A little gay, as Artoo said, but in a good leather gay way

Well, for some men who are totally bald on top, the only alternative to the Dilbert’s Boss hair is to just shave it off. That leaves a rather barren face, and nothing to attach a beard to, so a goatee is the next best thing.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m just not seeing the “gay” look. My (very hetero) husband has this same look, so it must work for some people.

It just hit me that he looks like Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

I agree, it works on him. What’s ironic for me is that I prefer the bald look, so I shave my head everyday. But I hate the act of shaving, it’s so inconvenient. But I’ve been doing it for years and now, if I even skip a day, I start to feel the hair on my head, and it’s uncomfortable. I know there’s millions of men in this world who freak out over going bald, and do all sorts of things to to try to fix it or hide, and here I am with the ability to grow a full head of hair, yet I wish that I was just naturally bald.

Headblade. My husband bought one and swears by it. He hasn’t tried the various lotions and potions, however, just the little razor that looks like a car.

Interesting. I saw one of those headblades in a Rite Aid once, but it looked too small. Maybe I’ll try one out, just to see how it works.
Comment by J.R. LeMar — November 12, 2008 @ 2:47 am
From what he says, it is easy to use once you get the hang of it (you push the blade along, rather than pulling, like you do a regular razor). He uses his in the shower and so far no cuts or nicks. And as long as he uses it every day, there’s no stubble or velcro-scalp.
I laughed at him when he bought it but I now admit it was one of his better impulse buys.

He looks like a member of a dangerous cult.

Jeez. John looks great bald. He must get something out of Scientology or he wouldn’t have been in it for 30 years.
Comment by Jay — November 12, 2008 @ 5:18 am
I grew up watching “Welcome Back Kotter”, “Grease”, and “Stayin Alive”….I always thought of him as a talented actor, but all I see when I look at him now is “L Ron Hubbard” I don’t bother watching any of his movies anymore. It just isn’t the same any more.
The bald head makes him seem even creepier.

The part that I find the most funny is that someone that is supposed to be able to control matter, energy, time, and space due to the super powers granted by the wacky cult isnt able to stop his own hair loss.
Comment by SgtAl — November 12, 2008 @ 9:31 am
Isn’t Scientology supposed to give you superpowers? If Dianetics can cure cancer, prevent colds & flu and cure almost anything then why can’t it cure baldness? Judging by some Scientologists, it’s not a cure for obesity either.
Perhaps he thought he had some thetans in his hair and decided to get rid of the space alien cooties the old fashioned way rather than pay the cult another few hundred thousand dollars.
Comment by wil thompson — November 12, 2008 @ 11:09 am
Actually, perhaps scientology does work! Could it be possible that his hair was really a cluster of Thetans?
Comment by Izzie — November 12, 2008 @ 2:43 pm
Yikes! He looks like the kind of disgusting scumbag that hangs around outside of kiddie parks, specifically the rest rooms, in my humble opinion. The faggoty shaved head and clumpy face hair just sooo invokes an image of the mouth calling out, “Hey, kid, want some candy?”
No offense to anyone but that’s just the impression I get from that bizarre photograph. Travolta has always been extrmly freakish looking, going back to his “sweathog” days on “Welcome Back Cultist” but this latest look for him is beyond the level of freak that was readilly apparent back in the 1970s, it seems to me.
The fact that he thinks that he’s infested with invisible murdered space aliens he calls “Body Thetans” that drive his behavior is also cause for concern.
Yikes!

“He must get something out of Scientology or he wouldn’t have been in it for 30 years.”
my reply:
This statement is SO laughable. Scientology has ruined his life, and continues to do so.
He only stays in Scientology because they have all his personal info on file, (from all the auditing sessions) and if he leaves it will all come out and they will blackmail him.
I too loved Welcome Back Kotter, and Grease ect…but I will no longer support an actor that supports such an abusive organization, knowing that my money will eventually end up in Miscavige’s pockets. (Their current and very absent leader. And where has Miscavige’s wife Shelly been for the last 2 years?)
Scientoloy’s crimes and abuses in their Sea Org alone is enough for me to boycott any actors in Scientology. Never mind their other crimes of fraud,neglect,deaths, their strong arming of the IRS for tax exemption,family disconnection and draining people finacnially.
I will not support ANY Scientologist actor PERIOD.
Including his new film “BOLT” in which he is the voice of a dog. He went from Hairspray, to being a voice of a dog. Now before you jump on me about that…..I know many famous people have done voices for films, it just seems his career is taking a turn for the worse.
I just didn’t think those are two roles I would ever see Travolta do. But then again, he has to be sure to make more “donations” to the church. Both him and his wife Kelly Preston.
Trovalta could be a real hero, if he would just step down from this cult, and speak out. Unless he is too brainwashed to do so. Nobody knows if he is too brainwashed, or just afraid of getting blackmailed and have his private life come out. It’s probably BOTH. But sorry, I have to call him a PUSSY, for letting the cult run his life.
I feel bad for his son, who will never know if medication would help him… instead he will suffer at the hands of his father’s “church”.
SAD…. Very sad indeed.
In then end……I still wish Ba Ba Ba Barbarino a safe exit from the cult.
And to Scientology… UP YOUR NOSE WITH A RUBBER HOSE!
