John Travolta: TV Guide News

Nothing Ewing: Dallas Movie Drops Travolta | Today's News: Our Take | 12/17/2007
Attached to the big-screen adaptation of Dallas for more than two years, John Travolta has been released from the role of J.R Ewing and "given a nice seven-figure 'gift' to go away quietly," a source tells Page Six. A pal of the former Vinnie Barbarino confirms the news, saying the film's producers "have gone in a different direction than was originally intended."What sort of different direction? Originally envisioned as a dramedy, the talk is that Dallas will now be a "comedic, behind-the-scenes" "show-within-a-show" a la Bewitched, and that Ben Stiller has been offered J.R.'s 10-gallon hat. Wow, there is just so much wrong with that previous sentence. read more

Another Betty Gets Ugly | TV Guide News Report | 10/19/2007
She’s come a long way from St. Olaf! Hot on the heels of her staggering turn as Stephanie’s nasty mama on The Bold and the Beautiful, Betty White has booked a role much closer to home: White will play herself on a December episode of Ugly Betty featuring what is sure to be a priceless taxicab showdown between the Golden Girl and "Mode" magazine’s 14-karat beyotch Wilhelmina Slater. In other Ugly casting news, Tru Calling commodity Eliza Dushku is set to play a cover girl whose stint in rehab is cut short for a photo shoot. (Don’t get any ideas, L.Lo!) Alas, a recent gossip-column bit about Kirstie Alley playing a monstrous modeling agent — and wanting bud John Travolta for a cameo — is allegedly lacking in the truthiness department. —Reporting by Damian Holbrook read more
Ugly Betty Is Not Up Kirstie's Alley | Today's News: Our Take | 10/19/2007
Kirstie Alley will guest-star on an upcoming episode of ABC's Ugly Betty as a "zaftig, tough-talking modeling agent" who berates her wafer-thin clients, says the New York Post's Liz Smith. What's more, Alley is reportedly trying to lure her Look Who's Talking costar John Travolta into delivering a cameo during her visit. What, no love for Abe Vigoda?!UPDATE: Turns out Liz Smith was just grabbing at air with this one. Kirstie is a no, though Betty White is a yes (as is a Tru Calling alum).
