Hi-seas hijinks in Travolta suit

A FORMER cruise line worker has filed a federal lawsuit claiming John Travolta assaulted him with a naked hug on the high seas.

Fabian Zanzi is seeking unspecified damages in a suit that follows two similar but recently withdrawn sexual battery lawsuits filed by masseurs in Beverly Hills and Atlanta.

Travolta vehemently denied Zanzi’s claims Monday as his latest movie, “Savages,” an Oliver Stone thriller, was set to premiere in Los Angeles.

“This is another ludicrous lawsuit with inane claims,” Travolta’s lawyer Marty Singer said in a statement. “It is obvious that Mr. Zanzi and his lawyers are looking for their 15 minutes of fame.”

Zanzi gained headlines last month after he told a Chilean news program that Travolta, 58, accosted him when he delivered a meal to his private cabin aboard a Royal Caribbean Cruises ship on June 9, 2009. Nancy Dillon
