Last night, John Travolta had dinner John Angelo Gotti, son of the late John Gotti (Senior?). Apparently, this one is known as “Junior Gotti” and he’s likely “in the business” as well. That business? Um… trash-collecting? Taking out the trash, in any case. Travolta is allegedly “in talks” to play Gotti Senior, and I suppose Travolta wanted Junior’s blessing. Maybe I’m out of line, but I would think Travolta would be a bridge too far, even for mobsters. Like, even they don’t want to get involved with Travolta and his issues. But Junior Gotti is a fan! He told the waiting reporters he had seen all of Travolta’s films and was sure he could take on the role of his father: “He’s a tremendous actor and he’ll feel the part. He nails every single one and he can do this too, I’m totally confident.”

As far as the photographs from the dinner – well, the best shots are of Gotti and Travolta exiting the restaurant. Gotti leans in for a man hug, and Travolta’s face just says it all: “Um, not my type, dude. I like them lithe and dark and in the spa!”
