LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A second unidentified masseur has joined a $2 million lawsuit against John Travolta claiming the actor sexually assaulted the men in two separate incidents during private massages, according to amended court documents filed on Tuesday.
The second unnamed man, a resident of Georgia referred to as John Doe No. 2 in court papers obtained by Reuters, claimed that Travolta rubbed his legs, touched his genitals and tried to initiate sex at a private appointment at the actor's room inside an Atlanta hotel on January 28.
The allegations echo those of John Doe No. 1, a resident of Texas, who filed the initial complaint late last week and accused Travolta of sexually assaulting him during a private massage at the Beverly Hills Hotel on January 16.
'This second 'anonymous' claim is just as absurd and ridiculous as the first one,' said attorney Martin Singer, who represents the Hollywood actor.
'Our client will be fully vindicated in court on both of these absurd and fictional claims.'
Travolta's spokesman has called the lawsuit 'complete fiction and fabrication.'
The plaintiff's attorney, Pasadena, California-based Okorie Okorocha, told Reuters that since the initial complaint was filed last week, he has had many more potential victims come forward with similar complaints.
'I will file for every single victim. Mr. Travolta has been able to evade justice, and he's going to challenge it with me. but I'm not afraid ... I'll stand up to him,' said Okorocha.
He said that the men did not go to the police because they did not think the police would believe them.
Travolta, 58, rose to fame in the 1970s on the television sitcom 'Welcome Back Kotter,' then became a movie star with hits such as 'Saturday Night Fever,' 'Grease,' and later, 'Pulp Fiction.' He has been nominated for two Academy Awards and has been married to wife Kelly Preston since 1991.

Obama-Clooney fundraiser rakes in celebrity dollars
LOS ANGELES (The Wrap.com) - If President Obama has ever acted cool in courting celebrities, on Thursday he'll be dropping that act and heading for the mother lode.
In what's shaping up to be one of the biggest one-off fundraisers in the history of the presidency, Obama will pitch to a houseful of boosters from Hollywood's inner circles at a sold-out event in Studio City.
And it's not just any house - it's George Clooney's 7,354-square-foot crib.
With the exception of a couple supporters - namely, the winner of the Obama campaign's 'Obama, Clooney and You' sweepstakes and a plus-one - guests reportedly paid as much as $40,000 each to secure a seat. That tallies up to nearly $6 million from partygoers, plus another estimated $4 million to $6 million from the contest, which gave would-be donors the chance to feast with the stars for a $3 (or more) pledge made via the president's campaign site.
Although some celebs have dialed down their enthusiasm for Obama since the last election cycle, he still has friends in Hollywood - many of whom will be attending the dinner.
And the fundraising game has also changed significantly since Obama's 2008 campaign, as the Supreme Court's controversial 2010 Citizens United ruling made way for Super-PACs and supersized donations to stuff candidates' war chests with unprecedented amounts.

Celebrity hair stylist Vidal Sassoon dead at 84
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Vidal Sassoon, hair stylist and fashion world icon who created a natural look in the 1960s and built a multi-million dollar business on his name, has died of apparent natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.
The British stylist's scissors spelled the end of the 1950s-era beehive and the bouffant - untouchable hairstyles that owed their existence to lacquer and hair pins - and brought him international fame and fortune.
Sassoon was dubbed a pioneer by many for coming up with so-called wash and wear looks - liberating many women from weekly salon trips to have their hair done.
But as much as he was a genius in the salon, Sassoon was a whiz in business. He began marketing his name, styles and cutting techniques in a worldwide line of beauty salons, hair-cutting schools and later, related lines of hair products.
Still, Sassoon never felt the profession that he put at the forefront of modern fashion received the respect it was owed.
'Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves,' Sassoon told Reuters in 2010. 'It's not recognized by enough people as a worthy craft.'
'If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you've never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that's masterful,' he said.
Born in London on January 17, 1928, the son of a poor Turkish-Jewish carpet salesman, Sassoon spent eight of his early years in an orphanage after his father abandoned his family. He quit school at 14, and his stepfather agreed to finance his apprenticeship as a hairdresser.
'It was my mother's idea,' he once said of his entry into hairstyling. 'Her feeling was that I didn't have the intelligence to pick a trade myself.'
In 1948, after the partition of Palestine, Sassoon spent a year working on a kibbutz and fighting with the Israeli army. He credited that year with giving him the direction and discipline needed to jump into a full-time career in hair cutting.
BOND STREET AND BOB CUTS
In 1950 he won his first hairdressing competition, and four years later at age 26, opened his first shop in fashionable Bond Street in London's West End.
He had decided that if he could not change hairdressing within a decade he would become an architect, and he drew inspiration from great buildings around the world. But soon, his salon was bursting with women looking for his signature styles that were geometric yet surprisingly natural and easy to shape.
His wispy-short early style was a vast contrast to the teased, brutally coiffed styles of the 1950s, and by 1963, he had created a short, angular cut on a horizontal plane that was the recreation of the classic 'bob cut.'
At the time, Sassoon was creating his 'wash and wear hair' when styling models for fashion designer Mary Quant. Women began fashioning themselves after Quant's 'Carnaby Street' style - not only with their hair, but also with white lipstick, severe eye makeup and thigh-high skirts.
His association with Quant put Sassoon at the forefront of pop culture and fashion. His styles also began attracting a male audience when The Beatles adopted Sassoon-inspired cuts with bangs and long locks down to their shoulders.
He gained even greater fame with his hair style for Mia Farrow in 1967 film, 'Rosemary's Baby,' and the term 'a Sassoon' became part of the fashion lexicon in Europe and America.
'I just consider being one of the luckiest people in the sense that creativity came to me and it flowed,' Sassoon told Reuters in the 2010 interview.
AUTHOR AND BUSINESSMAN
He diversified his hair-styling interests by writing. In 1967 - at age of 39 - he published an autobiography, 'Sorry I Kept You Waiting Madam', and in 1976, with his second wife Beverly, he wrote 'A Year of Health and Beauty.'
The book was a best-seller, but the marriage soon ended in a much-publicized divorce. His first marriage, to his receptionist Elaine Wood in 1956, had also ended in divorce in 1963.
Overall, Sassoon would marry four times throughout his life and have four children. His eldest daughter Catya died of an accidental overdose in 2002 at age 33.
After building a business with salons and styling products, Sassoon sold the rights to his name to Richardson-Vicks, a U.S. health and beauty supply company, in 1983. At that time his hair products alone were netting Vidal Sassoon Inc about $113 million dollars a year.
Procter & Gamble acquired Richardson-Vicks in 1985, and continued making products using the Sassoon name.
The famed stylist sued Procter & Gamble in 2003, accusing the company of breach of contract and fraud on the grounds that it neglected his brand. The two sides reached a confidential settlement in 2004.
The stylist maintained his British roots despite living in the United States. He was a die-hard fan of the Chelsea soccer team, and in 2009 he was honored by the Queen Elizabeth II when he was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Apart from hairdressing interests, he set up the Vidal Sassoon Foundation to help the needy in educational pursuits both in Israel and abroad.
Sassoon is survived by three children and his wife, Rhonda.

Dustin Hoffman joins roll-call of celebrity heroes
(Reuters) - A London lawyer has credited actor Dustin Hoffman for saving his life when he suffered a heart attack while jogging in the city's Hyde Park, becoming the latest celebrity in recent weeks to help rescue a person in crisis.
Sam Dempster, 27, told Britain's Sun newspaper on Tuesday that Hoffman came to his aid when he collapsed in the park 10 days ago, and called emergency services.
'I have no memory of what happened. The paramedics told me I had been saved by Dustin Hoffman. It's unbelievable,' Dempster was quoted as saying.
Paramedics told the newspaper that the 'Rain Man' star, 74, called emergency services and tended to Dempster as he waited for them to arrive. Hoffman, who has a home nearby, left only after they had re-started Dempster's heart.
Hoffman's Los Angeles-based representative confirmed the account.
Hoffman is the latest celebrity turned Good Samaritan in recent weeks.
'Black Swan' actress Mila Kunis cared for a man who collapsed and had a seizure while working at her Los Angeles home last weekend, celebrity website TMZ.com reported on Tuesday.
'Grey's Anatomy' star Patrick Dempsey helped to pry a teenager from a car wreck in Malibu last month, and actor Ryan Gosling grabbed a British woman to stop her from being hit by a car in Manhattan in April.

Pop artist who created LOVE sued for renouncing artwork
(Reuters) - An 83-year-old artist known for his block letter 'LOVE' design that became a symbol of the anti-war movement in the 1960s is being sued by a Monaco-based art dealer for renouncing the authenticity of sculptures once valued as high as $1 million.
Beginning in 2008, art buyer Joao Tovar paid $481,625 for 10 sculptures of the word PREM, a Sanskrit term meaning 'love,' from a one-time business partner of renowned pop artist Robert Indiana, Tovar said in the lawsuit filed in superior court in Rockland, Maine.
Tovar says he bought the sculptures from longtime Indiana associate John Gilbert because he believed Indiana had officially licensed their production.
Indiana, who lives on an island off the Maine coast, renounced the sculptures in a 2009 letter to New York dealer Simon Salama-Caro, saying they had been conceived by Gilbert in India and made without his permission. The move led auction house Christie's to remove them from an upcoming sale.
Best known for his 1964 block letter creation featuring an L-O arranged on top of a V-E, Indiana's works are part of the permanent collection of major museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian Institution and the Whitney Museum of Modern Art. The LOVE design, on which the PREM sculptures were based, was featured on an 8-cent U.S. postage stamp issued on Valentine's Day in 1973.
Indiana's denial of his approval 'rendered the sculptures worth little more than the materials from which they were made,' says the suit, which was filed April 30. Further complicating the matter, Tovar's suit says some of the works he bought have been sold multiple times, most recently for a total of $1.1 million.
Indiana, reached by telephone this week, told Reuters he 'absolutely' denied the allegations in the suit but declined further comment.
Tovar says that he relied upon a 2008 certificate of authenticity provided by Gilbert that includes Indiana's signature and the words 'To Tovar' at the bottom of the page near Gilbert's signature. Court filings show that Indiana acknowledged that the signature on the document was his but that it was meant as a souvenir for Tovar, rather than acknowledgement that the work was his.
On April 24, Gilbert and Indiana settled a dispute in federal court in New York over the PREM works after a judge found that Gilbert had attempted to 'force an artist - here, defendant Robert Indiana - to acknowledge creation of a work that the artist did not create and does not like; and then plaintiff could and would use such acknowledgement in selling such works to the public as authentic creations by the artist.'
The judge in that case also found that Indiana had made an agreement with Gilbert in 2007 under which Indiana would use Sanskrit characters to design a PREM sculpture that Gilbert could produce and sell. That agreement did not cover the design of a PREM sculpture using the Latin alphabet - like the work purchased by Tovar - because Indiana felt such a design 'looked like a refrigerator,' according to court documents.

Supermodel, billionaire settle child-support dispute
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault reached a child-support settlement on Monday following two days of tense, often personal court testimony last week in Manhattan.
Lawyers for both parties declined to disclose the settlement. A lawyer for Evangelista called media reports that she sought $46,000 a month as a misunderstanding, but acknowledged she was seeking a 'substantial' sum to raise their 5-year-old son.
Both parties agreed to return to court on Tuesday to finalize the agreement.
'Everybody's glad, for the sake of the child, that it's done,' David Aronson, attorney for Pinault, told reporters outside of court.
The model and Pinault walked out of the courtroom together, whispering. The scene was a stark contrast to last week's trial, when Evangelista barely acknowledged Pinault and shot him icy glances during opening arguments.
Evangelista, 46, and Pinault, 49, had been embroiled in a contentious child-support trial over their son Augustin, conceived during a brief liaison in late 2005.
Pinault testified to ending the relationship after learning Evangelista was pregnant in early 2006. He denied a charge he had asked her to terminate the pregnancy.
Augustin was born in October 2006. Within a year, Pinault would father a child by actress Salma Hayek, named Valentina. Hayek and Pinault married in 2009 in Paris, on Valentine's Day.
Pinault is chief executive of PPR, a multinational firm that owns luxury brands including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. He is worth about $3 billion, according to Aronson.
Last week, Evangelista's attorney, William Beslow, grilled Pinault over his finances, the amount he spends on his other children and about the gifts he'd given Augustin. Beslow had argued Augustin was entitled to financial support on par with Valentina.
Pinault acknowledged he had put his $12 million Los Angeles home in a trust for Valentina to 'reassure' Hayek that she and their child would be taken care of should anything happen to Pinault or to their relationship. Pinault fathered two children by a previous wife before meeting Evangelista.
Last week's courtroom drama included a series of contentious exchanges, including Pinault's acknowledgements that he 'didn't even know (Evangelista) very well' when she became pregnant. Evangelista also gave a detailed account of her rise from a 50-cent-a-basket cherry picker in her Canadian hometown near Niagara Falls to one of the most photographed faces in the world.

Demi Moore (finally) changes her Twitter name
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Demi Moore is finally ready to move on from her failed marriage to Ashton Kutcher. At least in the Twitterverse.
The 'G.I. Jane' actress ended months of speculation Thursday, finally answering the question: 'When is she going to change her Twitter handle?'
Moore had been going by @MrsKutcher, a handle that grew more awkward with each passing day since November, when she announced plans to divorce 'Two and a Half Men' star Kutcher.
Moore now goes by @JustDemi. According to her account, the actress chose the new moniker because it's 'playful.'
'So hard finding a name that was fun somewhat playful and available,' Moore wrote. 'So for now it will be @justdemi It could grow on me!'
In December, Moore dismissed notions that she needed to change her Twitter name ASAP in order to distance herself from her ex.
'Changing my twitter name isn't a top priority right now,' she tweeted. 'Sorry it bothers so many of u. Should I not tweet until I do? Does it really matter?'
