How sad is it that you have to rehearse your lines for an awards show? Doesn’t he look like he should be selling Winter Park real estate or something?

You’re never too big to rehearse.

Tom Cruise was among the stars who stopped by the Shrine Auditorium Saturday to run through lines for Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards — the only show during Hollywood’s strike-subdued awards season that’s sure to have an A-list turnout.

Clad in a black blazer with a matching turtleneck and jeans, Cruise chewed gum and joked with stagehands as he practiced his lines in front of an audience of stand-ins and seat-saving placards.

I guess it’s the only time he has a chance to see his big fat head on monitors all over the theatre without too many people laughing at him, I suppose.
