    Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie rehearse for Oscar show

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie lit up the Hollywood & Highland Center with their star power when they came to rehearse for Sunday's Oscar show.

    The megastars each practiced walking on stage and presenting their categories Friday, handing out prop Oscars to stand-ins pretending to be winners.

    Jolie said she was jetlagged after traveling with her family from Sarajevo to Berlin to Paris to Los Angeles, but she still looked stunning in black jeans, heels and a blazer.

    "You just blew the minds of two of our stand-ins who got a hug from you," stage manager Dency Nelson told the actress, who replied through a shy smile, saying, "Oh, you're so sweet."

    Even telecast producer Brian Grazer was struck by Jolie's charm.

    "You have to take a picture with me first!" he said as she walked onto the stage. "Well, you don't HAVE to," Grazer clarified.

    Jolie obliged.

    Cruise also posed for a photo with the producer, and likely made the days of the fake winners he presented prop Oscars to, beaming "Congratulations" to them with his leading-man smile.

    The 84th Academy Awards will be presented Sunday and broadcast live on ABC.

      Well Tom Cruise last movie made millions so to call him a has been is certainly proof that you are out of touch with the world. Angelina Jolie's movies are all blockbusters and she is one of the highest paid actresses and successful actresses in Hollywood. I'm always amazed at how people criticize successful people and show how ignorant they are of what is really happening in the world. Thanks to Angelina's contribution to children's charities lots of unfortunate children have food and a chance at living...

      When you don't want to say "I really don't give a s^%*t". You say, "Isn't that precious?"
