LOS ANGELES - "Ocean's" stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon left their prints in cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre, as did Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin before them.

In costume, wearing suits without ties, the three easygoing stick-up men of "Ocean's Thirteen," which opens this weekend, put their hands and then their shoes, into the fresh cement.

They follow in the footsteps of Sinatra and Martin, who starred in the original 1960 hit, "Ocean's Eleven," which inspired a 2001 remake and a fit of "rat pack" nostalgia.

Clooney, 46, Matt Damon, 36, and Pitt, 43, stopped traffic along Hollywood Boulevard, blocks from the Kodak Theatre -- the venue for the Academy Awards. -
