Parties You Will Never Get Into

Good friends Tom Cruise and Will Smith, together with their wives Katie Holmes and Jada Pinkett, were among the first to welcome British soccer sensation David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, to Los Angeles. The Cruises and the Smiths threw a welcoming party for the couple at The Museum of Contemporary Art’s (MOCA) The Geffen Contemporary last July 22, 2007.

The star-studded gala exclusive party was attended by some of Hollywood’s bigshots. Brooke Shields arrived at the party with husband Chris Henchy while newlywed Eva Longoria-Parker went to the party minus husband Tony. Other couples who joined the celebration were Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and husband Stephen Belafonte, Alyson Hannigan and husband Alexis Dennisof, and Jim Caviezel and wife Kerri. Popular celebrities Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Quincy Jones, Wesley Snipes and Bruce Willis also showed up to welcome the newest player of L.A. Galaxy.

Wearing a red James Galanos gown, Katie flew in from Germany with Tom, where shooting for Valkyrie was ongoing. They drove to the party with Will and Jada where they gamely posed for pictures together with their guests of honor.

Guests enjoyed a menu of British cuisine (bangers and mash, or sausages and mashed potatoes) and American staples (burgers, fries, and salad). The Beckhams, Smiths, and Cruises had the time of their lives in the dance floor as the DJ spun one hot tune after another.

Since the Beckhams arrived in L.A., they have become good friends with the Cruises and the Smiths and are in fact, often seen enjoying dinners with them. Tom and Katie recently held a similar exclusive gathering of friends when they had a housewarming party for their new house in May of this year.
