Inside Victoria & David's A-List Welcome Party Monday July 23, 2007
Victoria and David Beckham at the Beckham Welcome To LA Party in Los Angeles, CA. July 22, 2007. Sara De Boer / Retna Ltd.How do you welcome Posh and Becks to the neighborhood? Throw a lavish party!
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, along with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, hosted a private gala bash for their new Brit neighbors at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Geffen Contemporary in L.A. July 22.
The A-list guests included newlywed Eva Longoria (sans Tony Parker), Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Rihanna, Eve, Brooke Shields and husband Chris Henchy, Adrian Grenier and Queen Latifah.
On the menu (catered by the gourmet L.A.-based Patina Group): A giant tower of chocolate cupcakes hamburgers, fries, chicken wings, pizza, mashed potatoes and salad.
Celeb DJ Samantha Ronson — and Linday Lohan's pal — spinned tunes, including "Rehab" from Amy Winehouse, John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane, and the Spice Girls classic "Wannabe." (Posh got "really shy and did not sing along," says a guest.) There was even a shout out from the DJ booth, 'Let's hear it for Scientology!'"
Stevie Wonder entertained the crowd with a 15-minute set that included his hit "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." Cruise and Holmes sang along, while Smith picked up wife Pinkett so she could see Wonder in action, the witness says. "This is amazing! I can't believe Stevie Wonder is singing!" an elated Posh gushed to Holmes.
After Wonder wrapped up, Smith grabbed the mic for an impromptu rap session, splitting the dance floor into two sections. He then went back and forth to both sides to see who was having more fun, demanding that each side scream louder, said a source. Then, he did splits! "The look on Tom's face was priceless!" the witness says.
By 1:40 a.m., Cruise, Holmes and the Beckhams called it a night.
AWESOME...a big party on Sunday night for the Dark Lord of Awesomeness...
Now if I was Becks, I'd be pissed as all get out...why??? If this is supposed to be a big party welcoming me to LA, and the best they could do for entertainment was Stevie Wonder, I'd wonder just how much pull my new bestest friend Tom Cruise has...so we can all agree that the party was not as AWESOME as it could have been...You would think that since Tom Cruise is like a god, he should have been able to patch things up between Hooky and Bernard (or Steve, or Phil) and gotten New order to come and do World In Motion...
By the way Hooky, if you are reading this, Posh says she would LOVE to be a part of the AWESOMENESS that is going to be Freebase...but she also said she's not exactly sure that she can do too many drugs....when it was pointed out to her that the name of the band was Freebass, she did not seem to understand what difference it would make.
It's also reported that at one point, Tom Cruise was going to show the crowd what an AWESOME juggler he is, but Becks refused to allow Cruise to use his balls, and there were no cabana boys to be found in the crowd...
Lastly, is it any wonder why the rest of the world thinks all Americans are fat asses? Just look at the menu...a giant tower of cupcakes? And what the fuck, NO TACOS? Dubya himself would tell you that TACOS RULE...
That's all I can find for today...so remember America, you stay AWESOME!!!
