Maybe you'll run into John Travolta tonight
If you're wondering what all the fuss is about tonight in downtown St. Pete, it's gotta be John Travolta at Push Ultra Lounge to launch the Sunscreen Film Festival. Before you get too excited, the semiprivate reception is open only to Sunscreen organizers, filmmakers and VIPs.
But hey, it might be good to know that Travolta, a central Florida resident and famed Scientologist, is expected to arrive about 7:30 p.m. at the club, 128 Third Ave. S. And if you're interested in the film festival, it's March 19-22. See the festival Web site for details, www.sunscreenfilmfestival.com.

Who wants to see a celebrity whose cult of Scientology promotes disconnection of families and tries to destroy people who oppose them by fairgame tactics. Go to www.xenu.net

Hilarious! Butt Whistle! So funny. Let me know when he or any of his ilk cures cancer, end world hunger or bring about world peace. BTW - St. Pete Times, where are your articles about the top scientist, Nobel Prize winners, soldiers or any one of real consequence?

I can't for the life of me understand peoples fascination with celebrities. Autographs, crazy paparazzi photos for millions, etc. It's a person, who would be a complete Joe Schmo like the rest of us if it wasn't for our obsessions. Why would I want someones name signed on a hat or shirt or anything for that matter? What is that going to do for me? Nothing. Unless I can pack them up and bring them home to entertain then they're pretty much worthless to me.
Just saying!

Nothing against John Travolta but it seems like we idolize these movie stars way to much. Why does everyone want to see John, because he is a good actor and he is rich? Do we want to idolize our attorney or doctor because they are good. It just seems over the top that anybody really cares to see J.T.
