Kate Beckinsale Intimidated by Birthdays  1/28/06

British star Kate Beckinsale fears her daughter's upcoming birthday party will be a flop, because she has never thrown a Hollywood party before. The Underworld actress' daughter Lily turns seven next Tuesday (31JAN06) and the British sex symbol is worried she won't be able to organize an extravagant party to match the ones Lily often attends as a guest. 

Beckinsale explains, "In England, when I was a child, you'd get maybe a plate of jam sandwiches and some poor guy who wants to be an actor, pretending to be a clown. "Here (in Hollywood), they have like the final scene from Grease with the ferris wheel - and John Travolta is actually there. They go completely mad. "I've been to kids parties where they literally have an array of jungle animals - a lion on a chain. I'm a bit intimidated this year. I'm afraid I'm going to fall horribly flat."
