John Travolta Dumped From “Dallas”

John Travolta has been dropped from the "Dallas" movie after being promoted as the project’s anchor for more than two years. Travolta, who was just nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in "Hairspray," was let go about two weeks ago. He had the role of J.R. Ewing taken from him and given to Ben Stiller. However, a rep for Stiller denies the comic actor accepted or was offered the part.

Are they going to turn "Dallas" into a comedy? Did they dump Travolta because he insisted that fellow Scientology Freak Tom Cruise get the role of "Bobby?" A remake of "Dallas," how pathetic - a medium is past its prime when it becomes self-referential. Anyway, there can never be another J.R. Ewing - Larry Hagman can not be equaled in the role.
