Posh makes Hollywood debut at MTV Movie Awards
Victoria Beckham has made a glamorous appearance at this year's MTV Movie Awards, in her first major attempt to raise her US profile. Posh took to the stage to present an award with Rush Hour star Chris Tucker, and later rubbed shoulders with Hollywood's biggest stars including her new pal Cameron Diaz. Posh, complete with blond locks and Californian tan, made her first official appearance in Hollywood
Days earlier, she was seen cheering on her husband David during his return to the England side at Wembley, but she quickly dashed back to America to prepare for the event.
She told GMTV: "I do not want to miss any of David's games. I think he was absolutely fantastic and the kids were loving it. It is great to see him in an England shirt again - that is what everybody thinks.
It did bring a tear to my eye. He was just wonderful, I am so proud of him." Posh walked on the wild side while on the red carpet - she wore a bold zebra print dress complete with an electric pink bra peeping out of the top.
Victoria Beckham presented an award with actor Chris Tucker, while Johnny Depp was the nights big winner
But it was Captain Jack Sparrow who was the big winner at the awards as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was named best movie and its star, Depp, won for best performance. Bruckheimer said: "This is the man who did it all right here, Johnny Depp. Without him, we wouldn't be here.
" "I'd like to thank this man and Disney for not firing me first," Depp quipped. Other big winners during the live broadcast from the Gibson Amphitheater included Mike Myers, who won the MTV Generation Award, and Sacha Baron Cohen, who collected two trophies. Justin Timberlake's current love interest Jessica Beil, and his ex Cameron Diaz managed to avoid an awkward encounter on the red carpet
"Unfortunately, Borat can't be here tonight," he joked.
"He's been feeling the pressures of fame and had to check himself into rehab." Amy Winehouse arrived with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, while singer Rihanna turned heads in a plunging full-length gown
The two comedians shared a long, passionate kiss - culminating in a roll-around-on-the-floor makeout session - as they accepted their awards. The heiress, who has started her jail term just hours after appearing at the event, caused a commotion when she arrived on the ruby carpet outside the amphitheater.
Wearing a ruffled black dress and dazzling jewels, she flashed her trademark coy smile as she posed for photos and talked with reporters. "I'm really scared but I'm ready to face my sentence," she said. "Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful.
" Host Sarah Silverman cracked a crude joke at Hilton's expense to open the show. When the camera panned to Hilton, she was not smiling. Then the focus turned to films.
MTV's irreverent mix of honors includes prizes for best fight and best villain, plus awards for aspiring filmmakers. Jack Nicholson was the winning villain, capturing the Golden Popcorn trophy for his mobster role in The Departed. The fight prize went to Gerard Butler, who battled The Uber Immortal in the epic 300.
The breakthrough performance prize went to 9-year-old Jaden Smith, who starred opposite his father, Will Smith, in The Pursuit of Happyness. Funny men: Sacha Baron Cohen, Robin Williams and Mike Myers bonded at the event
The two-hour program was punctuated by musical performances. Rihanna and Jay-Z paired up on her new song, Umbrella, and soul songstress Amy Winehouse sang her megahit, Rehab. The 16-year-old awards show unveiled two new categories Sunday: best movie spoof and best summer movie you haven't seen yet. Andy Signore, a filmmaker from Pennsylvania, won for United 300, a hybrid spoof of 300 and United 93. Transformers, due July 3, was named the best as-yet-unseen summer film.
MTV viewers voted by telephone, text message and Internet to choose the winners in all categories. Performance: Johnny Depp, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"
Breakthrough performance: Jaden Smith, "The Pursuit of Happyness"
Comedic performance: Sacha Baron Cohen, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"
Kiss: Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"
