The guest list read like a Who’s Who in Hollywood and then some.

Predictably, Jada Pinkett Smith looked angry.

Avoiding smiling at all costs, Victoria Beckham teetered around on the most strippified, stripper shoes we’ve ever seen while narrowly avoiding flashing the cameras. Hey guys! Check out my new wax!!

And Katie Holmes appeared demure, classy and gorgeous as she towered over hubby Tom Cruise. Hey guys! Never mind Posh, check out the heels on MY shoes!

Also present to get their pictures taken…er…welcome the Beckhams were Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Brooke Shields and husband Chris Henchy, and pretty much anyone else who doesn’t want to be on Jada’s bad side. Hey guys! You better not be writing mean things about my very close friends, the amazing and wonderful Cruises.

We’re not kidding…she gives the scariest evil looks.

Check out Jada’s mean eyes and see lots more photos

Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in nearby Carson, California David Beckham made his American soccer debut for Los Angeles Galaxy. Despite fears that an ankle injury would sideline him for his first game, Beckham did indeed play, about 13 minutes in the second half of the exhibition match against Chelsea. (Chelsea won, 1-0.)

The stadium was full of fans and many celebrities turned out including Victoria Beckham cheering for her husband in a box with their three children, as well as Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise and Tom Cruise’s mother Mary Lee Mapother, EvaLongoria, Olsen, Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, Alicia Silverstone and rocker husband Chris Jarecki, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Drew Carey.

The sold-out stadium crowd erupted in cheers even when Beckham simply stood up from the bench and began stretching. And chants of "Beckham, Beckham" took over the stadium as he entered the game after the 77th minute.

At the press conference following the game Beckham said of his injury, "The ankle has swollen up slightly, but that was going to happen. We’ll see how it is tomorrow."

"It was a good performance from the team," he added. "We just lost one nil. My 15 minutes, it was nice to get out there. I haven’t trained all week. I hadn’t kicked a ball yet today. It was just nice to be out there with the lads and get this game over and done with. I enjoyed it."

Today the Beckhams will attend the "Welcome to L.A." party, hosted by the Cruises, and cohosts Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles.

The hottest item at the game, besides David, were the Galaxy T-shirts. The one who stole the show was cute little Suri with her million and one facial expressions.

David Beckham Hurt His Ankle and Won’t Play

David Beckham will not make his debut for the Galaxy against Chelsea at the Home Depot Center on Saturday as planned. Everything depends on the status of his injured left ankle, and on Monday it was still swollen and sore. Beckham injured the ankle while playing for England in a Euro 2008 qualifying game against Estonia in early June, and was still suffering the effects when he helped Real Madrid win the Spanish league championship on June 17.

"With ankles, they do tend to clear up pretty quickly, if there’s no structural damage, which there isn’t," Coach Frank Yallop said. "It’s just that swelling and that soreness that he’s got to get out of his system."

Once Beckham is playing again, it’s hard to imagine Galaxy losing even a single game. He’s like the Orkin man snuffing out an ant colony.
