Can John Travolta successfully win a defamation lawsuit against two male massage therapists? What are your thoughts?
Here are the allegations most of which remain in dispute by Mr. Travolta.
While A Travolta rep has offered proof that the actor dined at the famous eatery and was presented with a check late in the evening. He paid a bill of $382.69 for the meal, as well as a $100 tip and thus could not have been present in California when the first alleged incident occurred, however Mr Okorie Okorocha, the lawyer representing both alleged victims - who are each seeking $2 million in damages - states that the receipt does not prove much. He said: 'The credit card receipt that Mr. Travolta says proves he was in New York City has a time stamp of 11:38p.m., our complaint clearly says the assault occurred in the morning of January 16.'This credit card receipt proves absolutely nothing, and it doesn't account for the day of January 16. My client was sexually assaulted at 10 a.m. Travolta could make it to New York on horseback in that time.'
The Pulp Fiction actor, who has described the sexual assault claims as 'baseless', was also photographed in New York on January 16th.

two photos show him first at 4:30p.m. and then again at 5:21p.m., at a fitting for his upcoming movie Killing Season.
Yesterday a second man filed a lawsuit claiming the actor tried to grab his penis during a massage session on January 28 in Atlanta, Georgia but John's attorney Marty Singer has denied both claims, and states he can prove not only that his client was in New York on January 16 but that he was there the day before as well.
Okorocha claims there are over 100 other men prepared to come forward with similar stories about the 'Hairspray' star.Whispers about John Travolta's sexuality have plagued his movie career almost from the outset.
Various camp roles in films -- most notably as a drag queen in the musical Hairspray -- have helped fuel rumours he is secretly gay.
But there have also been strongly denied accusations he has been living a double life strikingly at odds with his family man image.
They include rumours that his 1991 marriage to Kelly Preston was arranged by the shadowy cult-like religion of Scientology, of which he is a leading disciple.
Seven years later, the father-of-two Travolta was named as a homosexual in court papers by a former member of the Church. The case never got a hearing, however.
And in 2001, Travolta faced unsubstantiated claims that he had tried to pick up a business executive in a health club.
However, the rumour mill reached a crescendo in 2006, when the actor was seen apparently kissing a male friend as he prepared to board his own Boeing 707 jet in Canada.
Travolta has always maintained he is not worried by rumors surrounding his sexuality, insisting 'I don't think anyone can hurt me.'
Personally I'm praying that these allegations are false. Here's a link to how I'd like to remember John http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze0cEwsB27A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
