(February 24, 200 
Yesterday John Travolta was rehearsing at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood as he prepares to present the “Best Original Song” Oscar.
Apparently, however, rumor has it that dance legend John Travolta may actually grab one of the dancers and waltz to the podium.
Awards-show director Gil Cates wants the actor to make a waltzing appearance while singer Jon McLaughlin performs the Oscar-nominated “So Close” from Enchanted with 30 or so dancers.
“He is going to grab one of the dancers and dance his way to the podium and then present,” E! Online quoted a source, as saying.
“We have no idea what they’ve got planned for John this year. We won’t know anything until we see Gil Cates at rehearsals this weekend,” Travolta’s rep said.
A rep for the Oscars apparently declined to comment.
