David Beckham's Star-Studded L.A. Soccer Debut

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise joined Victoria Beckham -- and a slew of other celebs -- to watch David Beckham's American soccer debut with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

According to People.com, cheerleaders like Eva Longoria, Mary-Kate Olsen, Brooke Shields, Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up to check out the game.

Amid fears that an ankle injury would sideline Becks during his first game, the superstar did indeed play – about 77 minutes into the exhibition match against Chelsea. (Chelsea won, 1-0.) Regardless, the sold-out stadium crowd erupted in cheers even when Beckham simply stood up from the bench and began stretching.

The following day, the Cruises and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith threw a "Welcome to L.A." private gala bash for the Beckhams at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles. Again, People.com reports a Hollywood "Who's Who" scene that included Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Brooke Shields and husband Chris Henchy, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Bruce Willis, newlywed Eva Longoria (without Tony Parker), Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Quincy Jones.

And despite the swollen ankle, Becks managed to give Posh a few twirls on the dance floor.AddThis Social Bookmark Button

What in the hell is up with black dresses and boobs up to your chin look. Just plain trashy. That's not a good look.

That is a great "pic"...I'm sure they had one "hell-of-a" good time...

Was this a $cientologist convention?

lu said:

it appears that posh and jada have the same skin tone.

I'm glad Katie doesn't feel the need to push her boobs up to oblivion. She's a cool cat!

crab said:

Cruise forgot his elevator shoes --- gee whiz !

QT said:

Beckham is one hellova soccer player - welcome to America dude .

stephanopoulos said:

Hey crab! At least Jada makes him look tall for once. Yeah!!!!

AJ said:

Jeez -- that Posh needs to wear dresses to cover up the boney chest . This bunch of software warriors say welcome , Beck -- go man go .

bizarre.... said:

posh and jada seem to wear the same dress , the same foundation and the same hairdo ...

stephanopoulos said:

Maybe Jada's dress is just loose, but she looks pregnant to me. Hmmm...

Nancy Drew said:

Posh and Jada both look irritated...not my kind of party, but looks like Tom and Katie are enjoying it. I don't like the dresses, but I suppose one has to be stylish to "fit in".

stephanopoulos said:

Is it me or does Jada look all "stern" like Posh always looks in her photos? Don't get me wrong, I like Posh, but what is up with never smiling? Jada is much cuter when she is all smiles!

Katie H. said:

Jada looks more manly than Tom does.

Looks at Me said:

Katie H. -- had to chuckle at your comment on the Tomkat -- and too girl -- what's with the "Trump combover" ?

QT said:

Come on AJ -- stow it on the Posh -- as for the Beckman -- 2nd the go man go .

Anne said:

It was a great gesture of the Cruises to throw a "Welcome to America" party for the Beckhams. I definitely liked Katie's dress the best; she looked very chic. I also like Katie's haircut the best. I liked Posh's hair better when it was long and her natural color, brown.

$cientology deity XENU is a murderer said:

$cientologist convention indeed, they are waiting for the arrival of their deity XENU!!!

Looks like the millions Cruise paid to get "Clear" didn't work.Hahahahaa

I love it a deity who kidnaps and murders people. That crazy XENU who was the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago,cowersed and then kidnapped the populace of his home planet who were then loaded into space crafts for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth).

The space craft were identical to the Douglas DC-8 with the exception of having different engines.LMAO!
He brought billions of his people to Earth in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Scientology holds that their essences remained, and that they form around people in modern times, causing them spiritual harm.

Gives new meaning to..BOMBS AWAY!!!!!

Deb said:

Not only is Xenu a murderer, he is gay too.

stephanopoulos said:

Remember that Scientology had nothing to do with this party. The Beckhams said "no thank you" to it and this was simply a "welcome to America" party for the Beckhams.

Dickie said:

This photo creeps me out. If these women are suppose to be examples of what the rest of us should aspire to look like... yikes! Will still looks damn good though!

expressions said:

I just love that man Will Smith. he has always been my cup of tea. nice gesture to throw a welcome party for the Becks. I happen to like all the couples in the pic.

just for laughs said:

One question
is it me or is this a really pompous celebration?

Red Carpet.? photogs? couldn't there have been a celebration without all the ridiculous fanfare? Really?
Why does everything Mr. Cruise does have to be a red carpet event. Why must he parade his famous friends for the media whenever he has a party? Anyone catching on to that yet?

As for the Beckams.. who cares...These are not people of importance.. they did not find the cure for cancer.. they did not do anything of any significance other than him joining a soccer team (which Americans do not watch) and her trying to revamp her career. Really why is this even an event?

With all respect, Beckman is not my type of man I find him too simple and ridiculous.
