John Travolta turned away from KFC, Despite being one of Hollywood's best-known actors, it seems even fame cannot get John Travolta a seat at a KFC restaurant.

A KFC spokesman said: "In hindsight, of course, we would have reserved a table for him."

But the worker who took the call, who did not want to be named, is standing by her decision to bar the 57-year-old.

"To me, customers are customers, no matter who they are," she was quoted as saying.

"The lady who called didn't give me her name, she just said it will be for a Mr Travolta."

Travolta was attending an annual meeting at a mansion originally owned by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard which has since been turned into the UK headquarters of the religion.
