John Travolta used to be cool.

I had a HUGE crush on him when I first saw Grease. Like, gigantic. My mom was concerned.

Hard to believe that this is what Danny Zuko looks like now. (Looks like some one’s got a case of the Man Boobs!) And even weirder is how he looks in the upcoming summer movie Hairspray.

I mean, look at him. I’m embarrassed for him.

But worse than John Travolta’s outer appearance is his recent blabberings-on about the horrific events at Columbine and Virginia Tech.

Page Six reports that Travolta said publicly, that all of these tragic school shootings are not really the fault of those who committed the acts, but but on psychiatric drugs. “I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is [psychotropic] drugs at the bottom of it,” he said.

This goes along with Scientology, of which Travolta is a devout follower; Tom Cruise, as we all know, is also a major figure in the religion…er…the science…er…belief? Basically, they all believe that all drugs - prescriptive or otherwise - are completely uneccessary and are the root of all evil.

So, what Travolta is saying, is that it wasn’t the freaking psychopaths who are at fault for their murders, but the anti-depressants the freaking psychopaths were taking - it was their fault. The pills. It was the pills’ fault. Riiight. So, anyone and everyone who is on an anti-depressant is capable of doing what the school shooters have done. Riiight.

I think these celebrities need to just shut the hell up. They’re in the public eye, they’re only actors and if they don’t have anything 100% compassionate to say about such terrible events that take place and may purposely say something that will, in any way, offend the people who were close with the victims, they deserve any public backlash that comes their way.

Now that Travolta has spoken out, it seems like he’ll be the one surrounded by controversy and this will give Tom Cruise a breather from all the hype that results in his verbal sewage. And, hey - if John takes Tom’s place as Mr. Hollywood Scientology, maybe this will happen again - at least Travolta can make an ass of himself while singing, dancing AND dressed up like a woman at the same time!

We can only be so lucky.
