Stars adopt casual air for rehearsal

ROBERT Downey Jr. Charlize Theron. Kathy Bates. John Travolta. Tina Fey. Matt Damon. Jake Gyllenhaal. Kate Winslet. Penelope Cruz. Tom Hanks. Jennifer Lopez. Robin Williams. Zoe Saldana. Sarah Jessica Parker.

There were so many stars inside the Kodak Theatre on Saturday, it looked like a casual version of Oscar night.

Instead of the glamorous gowns and tuxedoes they'll wear for the real show, the stars were relaxed in jeans and sneakers. And instead of being live on the air in front of millions, they performed behind closed doors for a small crowd of show workers.

Damon wore a hooded sweat shirt and knit cap as he rehearsed, pausing to time to marvel at the stunning set.

Saldana wore jeans and a sleeveless white blouse with towering purple platforms, and bobbed her head to the music playing as she practiced her presentation.

Travolta was in jeans and a ballcap, his credential tucked into his back pocket.

"Oh my God, it's tiny!" he said when he saw the size of the print on the teleprompter he was meant to read. Bates, in a paisley shawl and flats, had the same issue and producers bumped up the font size.
