Heterosexual A-list Scientologist smoocher John Travolta was up to his old tricks again -- this time greeting Kirk Douglas with a wet, non-sexual, man-on-man kiss! Face/Off!
After Kirk, 90, presented John with an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on Thursday, they did what any two, average, straight, red-blooded American men would do -- they locked lips! Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
Last year, the 53-year-old "Hairspray" diva was snapped kissing his male nanny on the lips, which a rep for the star reportedly said was "customary" for John to do with all of his close male and female friends -- including his wife, Kelly Preston!

This is Hollywood, and you're surprised that a man kisses another man?

He looks so familiar. Seems saw him on a celebrity and millionaire dating site called wealthymingle.com. I'll help you guys check it out. What if it is true. That would be great.

In other news, Britney Spears stopped off at Starbucks, left her two boys at home with the nanny, and ran over a photographer's foot.

Simple math
Scientologist Actor = GAY

To No. 1 - Kirk Douglas is one of the dearest, most humble men ever. He is such a precious human being. Can't you folks ever get over the stigma and realize that friends can kiss out of admiration. Must you make something nasty out of everything. It has nothing to do with Hollywood, this is just caring and admiration. If I were Travolta and given the opportunity to show my caring, respect and admiration for this wonderful man, I'd have kissed him too. Isn't it time we kept things in perspective.

I think that is very dis respectful of John. You can tell Kirk was so surprised. I hope Kirk doesnt get a heart attack..
Anybody
My thoughts exactly, Jaye.
He's Boring now
Lip to Lip? Thats not a natural nor cultural thing for an American hetero Male to do. Not because its "bad", but because its never practiced, learned, nor witnessed on these shores, even in the most intimate or sympathetic situations. To the Cheek, possibly, on the Lips--Never. European, Mid Eastern maybe, dont know, but not here.
This guy is slipping up in public letting his homosexual side take over when overcome in a "real" moment...not that theres anything wrong with it, just that his silence is making it awkward.
Come out Barbarino, its OK, you'll still be accepted. Just dont tell your Church about it, they're the ones who will struggle and banish you.
EEWWWW YUCK!
Isn't it common knowledge that John is gay and Kelly Preston is his beard? I still love John Travolta anyway...btw, is scientology a gay religion that has its members pretend to be straight?

if kirk douglas didn't have a problem with it, then why should others? in the end, the only opinion that matters is kirk's. and well, john travolta's as well i suppose. you can think it's disrespectful all you want but that doesn't make it so. personally, i don't have a problem with it. sure it may seem a bit odd to some people, but honestly- a kiss never hurt anyone; it isn't something to get offended by

I find it quite refreshing that in this day and age there are still those that think nothing of showing their affection for friends and family... you go John....Kelly is one very lucky lady to have that can do that!!!

Travolta's a queen, peroid. Even more disturbing than the kiss is Vince Vega's too-pay C'mon Johnny you're not foolin' anybody with that bird's nest!
