John Travolta is fighting back after a second male masseur has filed a lawsuit against him. Travolta's reps have released a statement saying that both claims are false - and a receipt has been produced that shows Travolta was in New York on at least one of the dates in question. Both plaintiffs - whose identities are being kept confidential - say Travolta assaulted them sexually - one at a hotel in Beverly Hills, the other at a hotel in Atlanta.
