LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – It was only fitting that there were plenty of Hollywood celebrities on hand as the Los Angeles Rams pulled off a Hollywood ending on Sunday night and clinched their ticket to the Super Bowl with a stunning win over the San Francisco 49ers.
The Rams, down 17-7 early in the fourth quarter, scored 13 unanswered points to defeat the 49ers 20-17 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The Super Bowl will once again be at SoFi Stadium in two weeks, where the Rams will take on the unlikely Cincinnati Bengals.
Lakers legend Magic Johnson tweeted photos from the game alongside Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and actor Rob Lowe.
“The Rams are going to the Super Bowl!!! I already have the sequel and I can’t wait to cheer the Rams to victory! Congratulations to Rams owner Stan Kroenke, the incredible coaches and players, and the entire organization of the Rams!

Also present were actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jessica Alba.
Newsom, a 49ers fan, tweeted his congratulations to the Rams:
“Congratulations NFC Rams Champion – California is well represented in #SuperBowlLVI! And thank you to the 49ers for an exciting season and playoffs – feel like there’s more to come from the Red & Gold next year!!
Congratulations to the NFC Champion @RamsNFL — California is well represented in #SuperBowlLVI!
And thanks to the @49ers for the exciting season and playoffs – feel like there’s more to come from Red & Gold next year!!

Newsom appeared to catch a flack online for not wearing a mask in the photo. All fans attending the match were required to wear masks when not eating or drinking.
FYI…I was two boxes away from Gov. @GavinNewsom . Not once did he wear a mask. IF our Governor isn’t wearing a mask in a stadium with 80K in it, why the hell should anyone be wearing a mask. #CA26 #I’m running for you.
