John Travolta says gross things to Elizabeth Taylor

There was a time, long ago, when Liz Taylor was considered a screen siren, and not a siren in the way she is now, where alarms go off when she enters a room imploring those inside to cover their eyes.
No, back in her "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" days she was quite a catch, and even more of a release, if her numerous marriages are any indication.
Perhaps her once alluring youthfulness -- which had dulled by the time she assumed the role of screechy Martha in Edward Albee's masterful "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and was long-since forgotten by the time she felt compelled to do a cameo in "The Flinstones" movie (I know, it's sad) -- is the reason John Travolta felt it was OK to deliver this icky anecdote to MSN.com. Or maybe a Scientology alien, disguised as Kirstie Alley, told him it would be a good idea. Who knows? Either way, it kinda grossed me out, which is why I decided I should share it with others, thereby ruining their days, too (you're welcome, readers!):
"Travolta also revealed that he once had fantasies about Elizabeth Taylor — fantasies he shared with the screen siren when they met in the late 1970s.
“I told her I had a recurring dream, which was true," Travolta relates. “I said: ‘You know that white dress you wore in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof? Well, you weren’t wearing it in that dream.’”
Taylor, he says, shot back, “Well, I’m not wearing anything under this right now.”
Travolta says he now regrets not taking advantage of the moment. “I was 21,” he explains. “Yikes.”
Yikes, indeed. The only thing scarier than "Battlefield Earth" is imagining Elizabeth Taylor flashing John Travolta. And then imagining the crazy grin he would likely sport, accentuated by that weird dot on his chin. And then imagining L. Ron Hubbard rising from his grave to deliver a thumbs up before his alien henchmen take him back to heaven -- or wherever Scientologists spend their afterlives -- on a chariot made of chocolate-covered strawberries and Lemonheads.
