LOS ANGELES (December 18, 2006) -- No wonder Jim Carrey looks like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. That's his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy playing tonsil-hockey with Santa Claus.

Among those attending were film director Ron Howard, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morgan Freeman and pugilist Pauly Shore. The event featured ice-skating for the blade-challenged as well as performances from ice superstars Sasha Cohen and Surya Bonaly.
