David Beckham attracts Hollywood stars the same way he draws defenders on the soccer field: in large numbers. A glittery array of actors and entertainment world luminaries turned out Sunday for what was billed as an official welcome-to-Los Angeles party for the international soccer icon and his wife, Victoria Beckham. With Tom Cruise and Will Smith playing co-hosts for the invitation-only bash at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Geffen Contemporary gallery, the guest list was long and deep. Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer were among the first to arrive. Brooke Shields was there. Eva Longoria showed up, so did “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller, who managed the Spice Girls pop group that made Victoria Beckham famous. Wesley Snipes, Quincy Jones, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy also stopped to pose for paparazzi.

Marge Simpson’s gravity-defying blue beehive is a hybrid creation, Matt Groening has revealed. The “Simpsons” matriarch’s impressive hair was inspired by “The Bride of Frankenstein” and by his own mother’s hairdo from the 1960s, the series’ creator told The New York Times Magazine.
