David Beckham has been back in LA for about a week now since he was injured overseas and had to undergo ankle surgery a few weeks ago. This past weekend, Becks made his way to the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA to cheer on and root for his professional soccer team the LA Galaxy … but from the skybox section. Poor broken Becks isn’t even well enough to sit with his team on the bench … no, he had to suffer in the VIP section of the arena:

He was a long way from the subs’ bench – and from the football pitch for that matter. But injured David Beckham managed to raise a smile at the weekend as he took a spectator’s seat to watch his club LA Galaxy’s home win. The England star was pictured in a VIP box with a huge grin across his face as he watched the U.S. club beat New England Revolution 1-0. His cheery smile made a welcome change from his gloomy appearance of late after he pulled his Achilles tendon while playing for A.C. Milan earlier this month – the Italian club from which he is currently on loan. But while his World Cup career looks over, it seems watching the game on Saturday at California’s Home Depot Centre gave the sportsman cause to smile. It has emerged that the BBC and ITV are battling to sign Becks as a pundit during this summer’s World Cup. With his dreams of playing for England in the tournament over, Beckham is said to be considering offers from both channels. They believe his signing could be pivotal in a ratings war when the event kicks off in South Africa in June. A source revealed: ‘Everyone is on tenterhooks. Having Becks would be ratings gold – and also a disaster for the other side. ‘Initially, everyone just presumed he wouldn’t do it – but now he’s seriously thinking about it, it’s turned all the World Cup planning on its head.’ But sources say the long-term positioning of Brand Beckham is more important than any money the channels may pay the star, who is estimated to be worth £125million. There is also still a chance Beckham could go to the World Cup with the squad as a talisman. Manager Fabio Capello has said he believes the former captain can be ‘an important man in the dressing room’ despite his injury.

Aww … even injured and on his butt David Beckham is still a hot commodity. Despite the fact that his World Cup career is over, it’s nice of the English Team to consider taking him along with them as a good luck charm. I’m not sure if Becks will be happy to be relegated to the benches at the World Cup but it’s gotta feel nice to be wanted. I could see Becks in the role as TV commentator tho … any of these options seem viable and likely. I guess we’ll have to wait and see which of these kind offers Becks decides to take.

Last week we got official confirmation from MTV that their hit dramatic yet not entirely reality TV series The Hills will end after the upcoming 6th season. The show that was once a pop culture phenomenon has cooled to the point of cancellation … but before the show goes off the air for good, there’s still one more season of over-the-top drama to get thru before The End. Here are a few screencaps from the just released video trailer for the final season of The Hills:

Over the past 4 years “The Hills” revolutionized reality television and became a pop culture phenomenon. MTV will now redefine how the reality drama all ends in Season 6. The last 12 episodes EVER of “The Hills” will conclude like no other show before. How will it end? What will be revealed? Who will return? How will they say goodbye? The drama begins on Tuesday, April 27th as “The Hills: Final Season” premieres at 10pm ET/PT followed by “The City” at 10:30pm ET/PT on MTV. “We are lucky and honored to have worked with this cast and tell their stories for this long, and we are grateful to the many dedicated fans who have stuck with us over the years. We owe it to those fans, the cast and the show to go out on a high note. And this season will deliver on that goal in terms of drama, story, real emotion and an organic culmination of this saga,” said Tony DiSanto, President of Programming, MTV … Viewers wanting more can head over to http://TheHills.MTV.com to watch full episodes, browse through exclusive cast photo flipbooks and get the latest gossip on the Remote Control blog. Since its premiere in 2006, “The Hills” has been a phenomenal performer on MTV. The previous season ranked as the #3 original cable series of 4Q09 and was a top 10 original series for 2009 among F12-34. The Hills dominated its Tuesday time period, ranking #1 versus all television competition among both P12-34 and F12-34. The series is MTV’s most DVR’d series, averaging a 52% bump when Live+7 ratings are factored in. “The Hills” is created by Adam DiVello. Adam DiVello, Liz Gateley and Sara Mast serve as executive producers. Catherine K. Whyte is MTV’s executive-in-charge of production.

This trailer gives us a look at the surgically-enhanced “Heidi 3.0″ (and the new face that even her mother can’t love), the close relationship between Kristin and Brody (as well as the introduction of his new girlfriend), Audrina‘s new boyfriend Ryan Cabrera (who, you may recall, made his reality TV debut on the MTV series The Ashlee Simpson Show a few years ago) and the marital woes of Speidi. Altho the show is ending, it looks like MTV wants to send it off with a bang! After the jump, check out the trailer in full and judge for yourselves …

Last week we learned that the cast of Jersey Shore found out for sure that they will be relocating to Miami, Florida to film the next season of their show and today we get our first look at their new pad. While the gang were forced to live in a tacking-looking shack last season on the Jersey Shore, this time around they’ll be staying in a place that’s a bit more posh. The MTV crew was spotted moving equipment into the Metropole Hotel Apartments and the cast members are expected to start showing up in Mimi this week:

The JS cast have been saying their goodbyes on Twitter already because once they start filming the show, they are contractually barred from interacting on any social media. Here’s a sampling of the tweet-byes from the cast:
