John Travolta, 53, allegedly donned a fat suit (and another wig!) to fit into this fabulous pink sequined dress for his turn as Edna Turnblad in "Hairspray," and now the glittering pink frock can be yours!

Thanks to New Line, the actual outfits from the movie are being auctioned on eBay to benefit City Meals on Wheels, which helps needy New Yorkers, and Harry's Fund, which assists sick kids.

Do you know a big girl like John who might love this look ... or do you want to be one yourself? Bid, hon, bid.

Is his new Adolf flick going to be "Mission: Impossible IV"? The German government banned shooting on several military and government locations allegedly because of Cruise's Scientology beliefs. Mein diskampfort!

Cruise will be back in the states this weekend to host a private welcoming party for the L.A. arrival of Victoria and David Beckham. Everybody in the bunker!

TMZ has learned that the Lindsay Lohan/Shirley MacClaine crime caper pic "Poor Things" was brought down by problems with cash flow, and not by Lohan's recent mini vacation in Vegas, as today's Page Six reported.

"The spending was out of control," we're told, and that ultimately caused the film's demise.

As for the Post's report that it was Lohan's hard-partying ways that sent the film packing -- not true. Lohan's arrest on suspicion of DUI happened just a few days before she was set to start shooting. The production company, it seemed, was fine with waiting for Lindsay's recovery, even telling TMZ that Lindsay would be shuttled back and forth from Promises in Malibu to the set in Santa Monica. That, obviously, never happened.

Lohan's rep, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, would not discuss the project, saying only that Lindsay was "not the reason" for the film's problems.

A call to the film's production company was not immediately returned.

In the latest issue of GQ, Matt Damon talks about how, when they were younger, he and Ben Affleck wanted to buy the exact same car. But each tried to talk the other out of it, "Because we knew it would just be so gay to get the same car." Maybe not the best choice of words, either.

TMZ had qualms with the usage of "gay" -- since it's not exactly politically correct to use the word "gay" to mean "bad" or "negative." But then, after thinking about it -- for two best friends who wrote and starred in the same movie, won an Oscar together and have generally been linked together for their entire careers -- buying the exact same car really is sooooo gay!

What do you think?

"Little Miss Sunshine's" Abigail Breslin is only 11 -- and already has everyone eating out of The Palm of her hand! Move ovah Dakota Fanning ... there's a new kid in town!

The preciously annoying Oscar-nominated celebutween has teamed up with The Palm steakhouse to cook up the chain's first ever summer kids menu. Need a highchair?

Starting July 24, moguls-in-training will be able to choose from items like filet mignon tenders, mac & cheese, steak or sweet potato fries, apple cobbler and brownie cheesecake sundae. Good thing childhood obesity isn't an epidemic! The menu will also include a "child-friendly" version of the their popular Strawberry Mint Lemonade Cocktail. Lindsay Lohan would be proud!

While surrounded by paparazzi outside Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, everyone's favorite uptight Park Avenue princess revealed that as far as the SATC movie is concerned, "We're very excited about the possibility. That's what I'm supposed to say." For the love of Manolo Blahnik!

Don't be surprised if you see Queen Latifah at FatBurger -- working!

The raptress is getting into the fast food biz by opening a FatBurger franchise in Miami. Would you like fries with that?!

Sensing that homo Hispanics are Hollywood's next trendy disenfranchised minority group du jour, shirtless "Capote" star Clifton Collins Jr., and "Napoleon Dynamite's" Efren Ramirez's twin brother Carlos joked that they made an "Oscar type" film about "two hot Mexican lovers" called, "Wetback Mountain"/"Brokeback Barrio." I wish I knew how to quit you, papi!

After officiating at a gay commitment ceremony last week, the newly-ordained, non-denominational priestess anointed the audience at the opening of L.A.'s Outfest Film Festival on Thursday. Lord, have mercy! Tori, who was raised Jewish, greeted the crowd with the biblical salutation, "Hey, bitches!" -- then had the predominantly gay festivalgoers hold hands while she delivered a lighthearted sermon. Praise Neimans! Tori's benediction included, "Let's pray that the paparazzi only shoot our good sides" -- unlikely!

After the premiere of "Save Me," Tori hit the after party and started deejaying. Mother. Reverend. DJ. Is there anything Tori can't do ... er, besides act?!

A movie in which Jennifer Lopez co-stars with her man of the moment -- sound familiar? With her latest foray into acting set to bow next month, TMZ spies tell us the movie is looking more like a "Gigli" than an "Out of Sight."

Insiders at the Director's Guild screening of "El Cantante" Monday night tell us that while Marc Anthony was good, the movie is more of a show piece for Lopez. The only problem, we hear, is that she and Marc have no chemistry. Ay caramba!

The movie stars Anthony as the famous salsa singer Hector Lavoe and Lopez as Puchi, the love of his life.

Puchi, Gigli -- coincidence?

The lesson is -- Homer and a big pink doughnut will carry the day every time. Cowabunga!

Springfield, Vermont will roll out the yellow carpet for the world premiere of "The Simpsons" later this month, beating out 13 other Springfields around the U.S. for the honor -- even though, as a rep for the city admitted to USA Today, it wasn't even invited to be part of the competition, initially. (There are actually 34 Springfields in the U.S.) The Vermont video entry included a real-life "Homer" running through the streets of the town, population 9,500.

Thirteen other Springfields competed, and the one from Illinois -- which actually has a power plant with a guy who runs it that looks a lot like Montgomery Burns -- was so confident it would win that its mayor, Tim Davlin, taunted the others to "eat my shorts" on national TV Monday night. D'oh!

Get ready to kick off your Sunday shoes -- Paramount is re-making "Footloose." Oowhee, Marie!

Zac Efron, of "High School Musical" and "Hairspray" fame, will take on the Kevin Bacon role as the rebellious newcomer in a town where dancing has been banned.

Let's just hope Zac dances as well with a tractor as Kevin did.

In a recent interview with Maxim magazine, the lippy starlet admitted that she's tried nearly every drug under the sun. "I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them."

Ever the consumer reporter, Fox "tried several things" in order to "make an informed decision, but I didn't enjoy anything other than marijuana." In fact, says Fox, "I don't even think of it as a drug -- it should be legalized." Is it 4:20 yet?

Fox also discusses the white powdery stuff, and she's not talking snow. Says Fox, "Cocaine is back with a vengeance ... Celebrities aren't trying to hide it, except when people have camera phones."

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that the long-awaited "Sex and the City" movie is finally a go!

Speculation has been swirling for a while that the movie was hung up due to its dueling stars, but Ausiello reports that SJP, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis AND Kim Cattrall have all signed on the dotted line to do the film.

Shooting reportedly will start in September.

Thank God -- no more lonely Friday nights watching season six on DVD while drinking a bottle of wine by yourself.

TMZ has learned that the new Indiana Jones movie is heading to Hawaii. Cowabunga!

Cast and crew, including Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf and new cast members Jim Broadbent and Cate Blanchett are currently shooting scenes at Yale in New Haven, Conn. (No time for love, Dr. Jones!) Production of the fourth Indiana Jones film has been shrouded in secrecy, but TMZ has learned that the production is expected to shift to the garden island of Kauai within a few weeks ... then it's back to Hollywood to film scenes on the back lot at Paramount.

In return for their help, director Michael Bay treated the service members to a private preview screening. The response? "It took a movie about alien robots invading the planet to get the military stuff right," said Army Sgt. Charles Eggleston. "The movie accurately depicted life in the military," said Chief Master Sgt. Mike Gasparetto. Let's hope the military doesn't really spend its time battling robots!
