One of the biggest events this weekend for Oscar A-listers, aside from the awards ceremony itself, took place last night. The sixth annual Night Before Fundraiser raised $6 million for the Motion Picture & Television Fund.

Hosts included George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Matt Damon, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Reese Witherspoon.

Tom Cruise

An unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise, released today, has put the Church of Scientology back in the news.

Andrew Morton, who has made a name for himself writing biographies of Princess Diana, Madonna and Monica Lewinsky, spent two years researching on Cruise. He concluded that Cruise is the second-highest ranking person in the church.

Cruise’s rep has called Morton’s book a “false, vicious and bigoted attack.” In anticipation of Morton’s interview this morning on the Today show, the church issued a press release denying many of the book’s claims.

David Beckham and wife, Victoria - former Spice Girl Posh Spice, move to ZIP code 90210 this week, as Beckham joins the Galaxy.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Beckham will be able to party as hard in California as he has in Europe. With endorsement deals with Adidas, PepsiCo and Gillette, the world’s richest soccer star made an estimated $33 million last year. His new contract could be worth as much as $250 million in salary and endorsements.

The Beckham home in Beverly Hills, dubbed Beckingham Palace West, is a $22-million, 13,000-square-foot mansion near friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
