John Travolta is guest starring on Kirstie Alley’s new sitcom “in a desperate attempt to make fans forget his numerous gay scandals,” claims the National Enquirer in a supremely absurd story.

The tabloid, which has spread false rumors about both Travolta and Alley for years, alleges that the actor hopes his appearance on the TV Land series “Kirstie” will distract his fans “from the lawsuits and sordid stories that have plagued him.”

Of course, the Enquirer is responsible for many of those bogus stories.

Regardless, the magazine which once predicted Alley would be dead by now is once again playing the guessing game, trusting a so-called “pal” who insists Travolta is doing the show to dispel gay rumors.

“He’s hoping that by playing a macho guy who beds Kirstie’s character he’ll be able to put some of his scandals behind him,” says the Enquirer source.

Uh… what?

Has Travolta not been sufficiently “macho” for the Enquirer on the big screen?

Even when, for instance, he’s literally trying to hunt and kill Robert De Niro in the woods?

He needs to guest star on a TV Land sitcom to prove he’s not gay?

Setting aside the Enquirer’s trouble with logic, Gossip Cop asked a source close to the situation about Travolta’s decision to reunite with his Look Who’s Talking co-star Alley.

We’re told he simply wanted to work again with the actress and thought it’d be fun.

The source tells Gossip Cop the Enquirer report is “ludicrous.”

Kirstie Alley is slamming reports that she attacked Leah Remini for leaving the Church of Scientology.

The story began last Wednesday, when Alley cryptically tweeted, “When faced w malicious gossip I take a moment to experience the loss of the person I thought was my friend… Then I say f*ck em..:) #RISE” and then wrote “the sweetest poison is often served with a smile… beware syrup.”

When Remini’s departure from Scientology became news the following day, many outlets believed that Alley’s tweets had been directed at her.

After blogger Tony Ortega wrote that Alley was “livid at Remini,” the report began circulating widely on sites including Huffington Post, Us Weekly, and the New York Post.

Late on Monday, Alley responded to the story on Twitter.

Lying news outlets. I do NOT care what religion ANYONE is or isn’t. I respect religions & would fight for your freedom as well as mine,” wrote the actress. “Thank U lying ‘news’ outlets for thinking I have ESP & write tweets ‘BEFORE’ events OCCUR.I accept that compliment. Ur ‘sources’ don’t exist.”

She then sniped, “I’ll just be here learning my lines 4 the movie I haven’t been offered yet. And buying lottery tickets for The Cal lottery I won in Jan 2014.”

Stay tuned.
