John Travolta has been dragged into a court battle between a gay artist and the powerful Church of Scientology.

Michael Pattison says he turned to the sect to "cure" his homosexuality after it used year-old Face/Off star Travolta to illustrate how the church could turn gay people straight.

Now Pattison is suing the church and 22 of its members for fraud, claiming he spent 25 years and half a million dollars trying to deal with his have homosexuality-but is still gay.

His lawyer, Graham Berry, tells STAR: "Michael was in a Scientology center in Clearwater, Florida., with Travolta and they used him as an example of someone who could be cured of what they referred to as his 'ruin.'"

"Wow! I mean, my feeling about John has always been that we know and we don't care," Fisher told the Advocate. "Look, I'm sorry that he's uncomfortable with it, and that's all I can say. It only draws more attention to it when you make that kind of legal fuss. Just leave it be."

Barry Diller is not scared of putting it all out there anymore. The year-old's fresh memoir, Who Knew, has been making many a headline these days thanks to Diller coming out as gay in it, and dishing about his amazing and storied life-slash-career. But that revelation is just one of several cups of piping-hot tea in the new book — like this new one, which reveals that John Travolta almost starred in American Gigolo, but quit at the last minute due to, as Diller puts it, the "somewhat gay subtext" of the film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the publication contains an anecdote about how Diller believes Travolta "played" then-Paramount Pictures president Michael Eisner in order to get out of the film. "He slumped down in a chair in Michael's office, started to cry and said, 'I can't do American Gigolo. I'm too sad. I'm still in mourning," referring to the death of his mother in and then-girlfriend Diana Hyland the year prior. "It's the wrong thing for me to do.

Gotterba sued Travolta, stating in his lawsuit that an unsigned March termination accord did not contain such a clause, and that while a document issued the next month did, the original one was the "enforceable" agreement. The actor's lawyer called the suit "ridiculous." Travolta's company maintains the former document was a draft and that the more recent agreement Gotterba signed was legally binding.

This past July, a California appeals court ruled he could challenge the validity of the confidentiality agreement, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

The Daily Beast stated that as a high-profile figure Travolta appears to be targeted with "these types of allegations" more than others.
