Sounds like John Travolta may have needed more than just a spritz of hairspray this weekend when he hit the opening of the Cove Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.I hear that Travolta, who dons drag for his starring role as Edna Turnblad in the new movie musical Hairspray, was none too pleased when he showed up for the resort's '70s-themed party on Saturday night. Someone apparently forgot to tell Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, that there would be a red carpet for the shindig, according to a source. "They were the very first to arrive," an eyewitness tells me. "All of a sudden there was a huddle" between the Travolta camp and Cove staffers."I didn't know there was going to be a red carpet," Travolta said, according to my eyewitness. "I can't do interviews. My hair isn't right."Travolta and Preston skipped the red carpet altogether. A rep for the Cove confirms Travolta's media blackout, saying, "He was fine. He had a great time. He just didn't do interviews."Travolta's rep also insists "he had a spectacular time.""Of course we knew there would be media there, and we also knew that it was optional," the rep added. "It had nothing to do with keeping camera ready."

Lindsay Lohan's probably none too happy about the media infestation at the Cove, either.

Even the usually softballing USA Today went so far as to chronicle Lohan's apparent hard-partying Bahamian weekend with new British beau toy Calum Best.
