If hip-shaking John Travolta were a single man, he'd probably have his eyes set on the "Girl With A Pearl Earring." But Kelly Preston will make sure that never happens in this lifetime.

The 53-year-old thinks Scarlett Johanssen, 22, is the most beautiful and talented actress of her generation.

He told MTV, "I adore Scarlett. She has an old-time essence about her. She is a classic type. She'll be around forever."

As well as Scarlett, Travolta is impressed by many of the current crop of young Hollywood stars.

He said, "There are a lot of young stars that I really like. The two guys from "Brokeback Mountain," Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, I thought were great. And they're part of the new generation coming through."
