Nicole Richie, along with scores of other nicely-dressed women, attended the Crystal Lucy Women in Film awards in LA last night. So what if her actual movie-acting experience is limited to a role as a lesbian cheerleader in 2005's Kids In America. It counts!

Taking a page out of Diddy's book, Tisha Campbell is smiling through the pain (of her separation from Duane Martin) at the DesignCare fundraiser benefit in Malibu Saturday. Sports stars and other celebs (from A-D list) were in attendance, including Mike Tyson, who seems to be on the scene again. Shudder. Pics after the jump.

It all seems more than a little excessive to me, but Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett all thought it was necessary to throw David and Victoria Beckham a lavish, star-studded "Welcome to America" party yesterday at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Geffen Contemporary gallery in LA. Take a look at the pictures after the jump — Will and Jada obviously invited a lot of their friends.

Tracee Ellis Ross could give her sister Chudney some lessons in class. While her sister idolizes Paris Hilton, Tracee is a woman who, despite her famous mother, has managed to make a name for herself on a hit television show. I may not like her dress, which is kind of matronly, but I like her, and that's all that matters. Check out more pictures from Women in Film's Crystal + Lucy Awards after the jump.

We already know Timbaland is a fan, but would you have counted RZA among the ranks of Hillary Clinton supporters? Well, he, along with Quincy Jones, Brett Ratner, Holly Robinson Peete, and McSteamy, attended Clinton's Young Hollywood Reception yesterday. Quincy Jones is obviously a bit confused about his age.

Football Wives, an NFL-themed drama starring Holly Robinson Peete, Gabrielle Union and Ving Rhames, was supposed to air on ABC this fall. The show, based on the wildly popular British series, Footballers Wives, about the exploits of the spouses of pro-soccer players, had great buzz, but ABC didn't deem it worthy of a place on the fall schedule. Budget issues, they said. Others think pressure from the NFL — which also caused the cancellation of sister-network ESPN's controversial Playmakers – was what did it.

With his basketball season over, Kobe Bryant spent some quality time with his wife Vanessa and oldest daughter, Natalia, at the premiere of the third installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, a movie sure to knock Shrek off of its box office pedestal as soon as it opens in theaters. Check out more pictures of the happy family and other movie-goers, a group that randomly includes Mark "Hanging With Mr. Cooper" Curry, below.

Celebrities. As soon as they get famous enough to buy whatever they want, they recieve everything for free. It's one of life's many cruelties. This weekend, they got to go to Paradise Island to attend what appears to be a rather random gathering of famous people celebrating the opening of the Cove Atlantis. Disturbingly, one of the parties required disco gear. I need to never see Usher and Tameka Foster in afro wigs again. And notice, he ain't with his mother on Mother's Day. Drama!
