Travolta speaks at US awards ceremony amid new claims over private life

John Travolta has made his first public appearance since being accused of sexual harassment.

The 'Pulp Fiction' actor is thought to have been hiding out at a holiday home in the Bahamas since being accused of sexual misconduct from a number of male masseurs but he put on a brave face last night to honour actress Shirley MacLaine as she received the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award.
