Beckinsale celebrates birthday with Beckhams

Kate Beckinsale has celebrated her 36th birthday in Los Angeles with friends including Victoria and David Beckham, and Eva Longoria Parker.

The Pearl Harbour star and director husband Len Wiseman dined with their celebrity friends at Michael Mina's XIV restaurant last night.

"The group looked like they were all having fun, and it looked almost like a fashion competition - who had the most beautiful dress, the biggest diamonds," said an X17 Online photographer.

"They ate for about an hour-and-a-half and then Eva, Kate, and Len left out the front door and David and Victoria snuck out the back. The Beckhams were definitely hoping not to be seen."

Earlier this year, both Beckinsale and Parker attended a girls-only party in honour of Victoria Beckham's 35th birthday. Other stars invited included Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Richie.
