He’s a mess. Jet black hair at his age. LOL And then add to that it’s a bad toupee.
But let’s talk about Kelly Preston. She is such a pretty woman. Her face is so youthful looking, but never that plastic surgery look, pulled, trying to look youthful with too much botox. I want to look like Kelly at 50 or 51, whatever age she is, She was always blessed with a pretty face, but the woman has great genes also. And whatever she is doing is minimal. She didn’t fall for the overbotoxed, fat face, feline syndrome. Her eyebrows aren’t overarched and frozen high from botox. Her eyes aren’t that bad eye job and too much botox deer in headlights look. No huge cheeks from filler. Pretty lips, not the fish lips look. Her face has some actual smile lines, like everyone from the age of 30 has, except the filler addicted.
And her makeup here is flawless and not overdone, and I love the pink gown on her.
Go, Kelly.
I thought the bizarre, pulled eyes and super arched brows came compliments of the plastic surgeon.
You know, when he/she tells you that they are just going to nip a little there and tuck a little here. You know, very little and subtle changes to improve your look. That is, until you see you’re face and don’t recognize the person staring back at you. Little and subtle — my a**!
Your* not you’re
Hate my grammar errors
*hangs head*
I love John!! So he messed up, the world is still turning & the sun is still shinning! At least in Indy today! Lol 🙂
It’s the CO$ vitamins, I’m sure!
Do aliens *need* vitamins?
Ha! You’re right it must be the xenu-genes!
YES, they do. They are special vitamins to counter-act the negative effects of breathing the air in the Earthlings’ atmosphere.
Don’t you understand anything? 😉
@Maureen: I did wonder about how our tragic planet might affect the great celestial beings that grace us with their presence. Pardon my lapse is judgement.
All hail the great gods and goddesses that walk among us poor Earthlings. We are not worthy.
That’s because Kelly is not actually human. She’s a thetan from thousands of years ago inhabiting a human body. Don’t you see her giving the super secret Thetan-to-Xenu hand signal?
She’s never given in to the pressure to look anorexic. Sure she’s slender, but she hasen’t ravaged her face by starving herself for years on end. So many actresses starve themselves so that they look horribly gaunt and then overdose on fillers to counteract the effects. They end up looking monstrous. She always looks healthy and natural. He looks about as far from natural as you can get and unlike Kelly, is wearing way too much makeup. The wig is just the cherry on the raging freak of a sundae, that John Travolta has become.
“cherry on the raging freak of a sundae”
Between the alien vitamin talk upthread and this, LMAO. Thank you, I needed that on this bleak morning.
Yo, Vinnie Barbarino!
Her face looks great. Her arms? Not so much.
I think you are all too harsh on poor John’s hair. Especially, since I have it on good authority, that Ken wants his hair back (apparently he’s trying to woo Barbie — Ken really is nothing without Barbie). So clearly Ken is a big fan of his hair…
😉
And just like Ken, John isn’t anatomically correct. He hasn’t been for years. LOL
ROTFLMAO
What the hell?!
It’s silly calling it a wig you might as well call it a beanie.
Quote from DListed (it’s too awesome not to post here!):
“ADELA DAZEEM? Xenu, please get your child a copy of Rosetta Stone: Broadway Stars Edition.”
LOL!!!
Some people are claiming he’s dyslexic and that’s why he messed up. I don’t know if he is or not, but he didn’t have to read the name. He could have memorized it. He just didn’t give a damn.
He might be dyslexic (I don’t know) but I agree — get the NAME correct and screw up anything and everything else.
Not to mention that each presenter has to go to rehearsal and a read through. So I’m sure someone a long the way told him how to pronounce her name well before the live broadcast. Sometimes it seems like celebs do things on purpose, just to get their names out there.
@idk: You think he might have done it on purpose? Oh I hope not. 🙁
@ LadySlippers – who knows? It’s odd he got her name so horribly wrong when he not only rehearsed it the day before, but there was a teleprompter. Not only that, but she is well known and not a new name. Maybe he’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I really don’t know, but either way, as the years go by Travolta is becoming stranger and stranger. Sad really.
By the way Adele Dazeem is a REAL person and she tweeted about this whole thing. She has a great sense of humor.
LMAO!! I’m out of the loop so I thought Adela Dazeem might have been a real person nominated for something else and he was just confusing her with Idina Menzel but no, he made that shit up out of thin air. I have watched it over and over and cannot stop laughing, what an idiot.
He must be incredibly deluded to wear that hideous thing on top of his head and believe that it looks good. The hairline is awful and the dye job is hilarious. Both John Travolta and Tom Cruise have claimed that Scientology study tech “cured” their dyslexia. Idina Menzel is a well known performer and he could have rehearsed. He memorizes lines,when he’s acting. Was it really that challenging to get her name right?Adele Dazeem isn’t even in the ball park. He was probably just really excited to get to his post Oscar massage and got distracted.
Before I watched the video I thought “how bad could it be” and when I heard it I laughed so hard both my dogs jumped up from their naps. It wax BAD.
Dyslexia is nothing to laugh about. I haven’t heard anything about him having it. However, he does know how to memorize lines and I’m sure the producers told him her name well in advance. He wasn’t even close.
I’m not making fun of dyslexia and it wasn’t my impression that anyone else was either. We often make fun of CoS and their various ‘miracles’ though.
OMG, I just spit all over my screen reading this! I love Michael K. I need to go back to reading Dlisted.
Seriously, for someone with a theater and musical background, i cant believe he’d butcher her name. You’d think that he’s come across her in the Bway world once and awhile. ALSO, are there NOT rehearsals?
Perhaps he’s not up on the women of Broadway? Now the men are another story. LOL
I know I saw that too and choked on my tea earlier while trying hard to stay quiet in a hushed hospital room.
The other comment that got me was the one about how maybe he thought pretending not to know a Broadway star’s name would make him appear more convincingly straight, lol.
This whole fiasco has been such a welcome distraction. WTF?
A moment of silence for the gerbils that gave their lives to be Travolta’s hairpiece.
ahaahh! You cracked me up!
Can’t the CO$ make his hair grow back?
OMG that is too funny!
LOL.
wtf is on his chin? That’s worse than the wiglet. He looks like a sock monkey.
Oh, thank you. I don’t know why, but sock monkey references just crack me up every time. Never gets old.
No, please, that is an insult to sock monkeys, whose sock “fur” generally looks more “real” than John’s hair.
My daughter has stuffed animals with fur that looks more natural than his sad little wiglet. The fact that he appears to have filled it in around his face with magic marker isn’t helping. Emperor’s new clothes syndrome or what?
Yes please be nice. I love sock monkeys! Don’t defame them!
I’d like to know how he and Kelly got to sit with the Twelve Years a Slave contingent. Wasn’t John sitting next to Lupita’s brother?
wheres the problem? all the girls have extensions but guys cant have some extra hair? if hes happier with a wig, fine! His choice. leave him alone 😛
If it looked even vaguely natural, he wouldn’t get the flack. It looks worse than the spray hair that comes in a can. If he’s vain enough to wear a wig, he should at least make it a good one.
Agreed. Or plugs, like Ben Affleck is rumored to sport, which I don’t think look fake.
I think fake hair on either gender is false advertising, so no double standards here. First of all, everyone knows he’s bald so he is only lying to himself and it makes him look vain and insecure. Second of all, it looks ridiculous and I don’t think people would be talking about it if he managed to make it look more natural. He can wear it if he wants, we can talk about it if we want. Maybe he should have left those poor male masseuses alone… 😉
yeah I agree, women have so many ways to improve their looks. we wear fake hair all the time; its a bit hypocritical to shame guys for it.
People give him crap about the wig but let’s talk about the new choppers. That’s why he’s sounded like Liza Minnelli for the last several years. And I think Travolta’s vocal slip was the result of not enough Polident.
Polident could account for the lisp, but not the little tiny voice and the TOTAL MASSACRE-ING of the correct name. He even turned his head like “I have no idea what I’m saying.” He looks like a wax freak and he was completely unprofessional. Whoever pushed for him to be included should have a paper bag over their head today.
The blind reveal on Bristol Palin has both schadenfreude and sympathy for me. She’s an ass, but her mother is a bigger ass, and she raised her.
Poor Idina. First her name, and then that performance. I’ve seen her live before and she can do so much better than that.
Something must have aroused him and he lost focus. He’s just yuck.
I’m going to guess I’m in a VAST minority here and say Liza Minelli looked great. She needed a little more support, but other than that awesome.
+1
I’m sorry she did not need a “little” more support, she needed SUPPORT! every time I saw her on tv all i could see was her boobs… and it was not cool!!
Who does he think he is fooling?
Does it really even count if EVERYONE knows it’s a toupee? I mean, after a while it’s like “give it up and go bald”. The gig’s up, now it’s just comical.
And side note. Very surprised he was a presenter. He hasn’t had a movie in years.
He should send Idina a very expensive basket of flowers and a handwritten apology. I don’t care if he is dyslexic. There is no excuse for an actor who rehearsed his lines to royally mess up someone’s name. They should have gotten Kristen Bell or another Frozen cast member to introduce her. That was Idina’s moment in the spotlight and he ruined it.
Seriously. If he can do a film then there is no excuse for not memorizing a NAME. I truly don’t get how this could even happen, and in such a controlled environment.
Seriously though. Why was he even presenting? He hasn’t had a successful film in ages and it’s not like he just mispronounced it. It wasn’t even close. Tim Allen once said that when they did a movie together, he would announce to everyone that when he was in his early twenties, he had the top grossing movies three years in a row. How arrogant is that? That was a long time ago. Now his claim to fame is a bad wig, weird “religion” and an apparent inability to correctly pronounce the name of a well known performer. As you say, it was uber controlled. It’s not like he was a last minute substitute, forced to wing it.
There was an excellent article on him “butchering” the name… as it’s possible he’s dyslexic. If that’s the case, it’s a bit unfair to hate him for that. Hate him for other reasons if you will.
Dyslexia or effing things up when dyslexic is not a choice. One can rehearse millions of times and still eff it up. In movies, you can always re-take. It’s not about the mistake he did.. being ignorant a-hole at dyslexics and learning disabilities is just not cool.
Someone made a widget called Travoltify Your Name.
You can put in your own name and it comes out like something unpronounceable:
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/low_concept/2014/03/john_travolta_called_idina_menzel_adele_dazeem_what_s_your_travolta_name.html
I can’t help it, I still love him! 🙂
Co$ traps everybody with reading issues, claiming they can “cure” them. Guess not since he read the damn card backwards.
Also, what is the huge deal about admitting you’re dyslexic? I see absolutely no shame in that! Hiding things like this is what causes mental issues and gets you locked into freakish contracts binding you to eternity with cults.
