JOHN TRAVOLTA  BEING SUED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT: JOHN TRAVOLTA is being sued by a male masseur who claims the actor tried to get all smoove up with him during a massage session.

The man, identified as "John Doe" in the federal lawsuit, claims Travolta inappropriately touched him during a massage session at the Beverly Hills Hotel. According to court documents, midway through the session Travolta began rubbing the man's leg and touching his junk.

The masseur claims he told Travolta he did not have sex with his clients, but that Travolta wasn't having it and offered to do a "reverse massage."

The suit goes on to allege Travolta pleasured himself and told the masseur he got to where he was "due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his Welcome Back Kotter days." The masseur is seeking $2 million plus punitive damages.

IN DENIAL - JOHN TRAVOLTA REFUTES SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIM: Yesterday Travolta's rep issued a denial saying, "This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication. None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred."

In fact, the rep says Travolta was thousands of miles away on the East Coast when the incident allegedly went down. The rep adds that once the case is thrown out, John “will sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution.”

WATCH RUSSELL BRAND STRIKE BACK AT 'KATY PERRY' HECKLER: If you ever get the chance to see RUSSELL BRAND do his stand-up comedy act be warned ... you don’t want to heckle him.

During a performance in New Jersey over the weekend, one audience member did just that, and when he shouted out the name of Russell’s ex KATY PERRRY, Brand had enough and struck back.



"I want to see what this person looks like, turn the lights on for me because I really want to achieve some sort of confirmation,” began Russell's rant. “Let's see how your mental illness looks in the daylight."

“I know on some level, despite your physical appearance to an ape, that you're a human being," he said. "I think silence is your friend. I think keep your lips firmly, firmly clamped together. Because everything that comes out of your mouth, from your idiotic announcements to your disgusting halitosis that's coming through this room, is an abomination."

She captioned it, quote, " [Ashton's Twitter name] Here it is, y'all. He is sweet and lives country music! For real!"
