Back in September we learned that David Beckham reportedly signed a deal with Italian football club AC Milan to return to Europe to play for the team in January after the MLS soccer season here in the US comes to a close. Today, AC Milan has officially announced the deal, confirming that Becks will play for Milan again. Over the weekend, tho, Becks was still in his LA Galaxy uniform playing for his current team … in addition to playing, Becks was also yelling and scratching … behold:

LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham’s move to AC Milan has been confirmed. Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed LA Galaxy have agreed a January loan deal that will keep Becks’ World Cup hopes alive. England boss Fabio Capello told midfielder Beckham, 34, he would rule him out of the 2010 finals unless he plays in a top European League next year. And Becks has now clinched his first-choice move — a repeat of last season’s Milan spell where he hit two goals in 18 games. Galliani said: “The agreement for David Beckham has been completed. In a few hours we and Galaxy will officially announce this deal. We are just waiting for the very last documents but I confirm that he will return to Milan.” AC Milan coach Leonardo added: “I consider Beckham as if he had always been here because he has only been away for six months. “In any case he will be a player that will contribute a lot, not only on the pitch but also inside the group, as the players like him infinitely.”

And there you have it … it remains to be seen if we’ll get to enjoy Beckham’s talents here with the LA Galaxy in the future but he is deffo heading back to AC Milan to play there again. As much as Becks love his soccer, it’s clear that he also loves his basketball. Becks and his eldest son Brooklyn were spotted courtside at an LA Lakers game this weekend as well. After the jump, check out a few adorable pics of father and son bonding over basketball …

David and Victoria Beckham, along with their sons Romeo and Cruz, were spotted in prime court-side seats at the Los Angeles Lakers basketball game at the Staples Center last night rooting on their home team. It’s interesting that Vicki B. decided to tag along to last night’s game because she doesn’t usually accompany Becks to basketball games … which is why he sometimes gets into trubs for ogling the Laker Girls cheereleaders. With VB sitting right next to him last night, tho, Becks was on his best behavior:

David Beckham has become quite the fan of basketball since moving Stateside – but is he interested in the game or the scantily-clad cheerleaders? Posh Spice is taking no chances and made sure she was sat right next to David throughout an LA Lakers game yesterday. Victoria and David took sons Cruz and Romeo to the match, but all the boys seemed to be having much more fun than po-faced Posh. Posh, dressed in super-skinny black jeans, a black vest top and sky-scraper black and gold Christian Louboutin heels, looked thoroughly bored during the game. At one point, the basketball rolled off the court towards her but rather than picking it up and throwing it back to the players, Posh swept her feet up out of the way in horror! Cruz and Romeo seemed to be having a lot more fun – cheering the players on and getting absorbed in the spirit of the game. David also looked to be enjoying himself and didn’t appear to be distracted by the cheerleaders once. Whether that was because he’s learned his lesson or because Posh apparently kept an iron grip on his arm throughout most of the match is anyone’s guess.

LOL … atta girl … keepin’ an eye on Becks should be a joy not a chore ;) It’s nice to see the family all together again … not sure where the eldest Beckham boy, Brooklyn, was but methinks he decided to bail and hang with friends rather than hang out with his parents and kid brothers. I wonder if we’ll be able to see Les Beckhams and kids all dressed up for Hallowe’en? Any guesses on what they might dress up as?

Yesterday we learned that David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy managed to win the MLS Western Conference Championship after they defeated the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night and it looks like Sunday afternoon was for celebratin’. Here are a couple photos of Becks and his boys — Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David — as they made their way out of their friendly neighborhood Pinkberry fake yogurt shop with their icy delights yesterday afternoon:

While the Beckham boys were enjoying their Pinkberry treats, mama Victoria Beckham was winging her way back home to SoCal after spending some time in the UK doing whatever it is that she does when she flies there every other week. Here are a couple pics of Vicki B. dressed in a very shiny zippered Glad trash bag as she made her way thru the airport bound for home:

I mean, as far as Glad trash bags go … this looks like a nice one. I’m sure the Beckham Bunch are happily reunited by now … I wonder if the boys saved any Pinkberry for VB.

Congratulations are in order for the Los Angeles Galaxy who won the MLS Western Conference Championship title for the first time since 2002 after they defeated the San Jose Earthquakes by a score of 2-0 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA last night. I’m not sure how much help David Beckham was in the win but he looked good on the field so, that should count for something, right?

The Los Angeles Galaxy continued their improbable rise from the depths of MLS with Saturday’s 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes that clinched their first Western Conference regular season title since 2002. The Galaxy, playing in front of a sold-out crowd of 27,000 at The Home Depot Center, were the recipient of some good fortune in the win, their first against their bitter northern California rivals this season in three tries in the “California Clasico.” The victory gave the Galaxy (12-6-12) 48 points and first place in the West, no matter the outcome of Sunday’s regular-season finale between Chivas USA and the Houston Dynamo. The Galaxy own the head-to-head tiebreaker with both teams, should one of them tie the Galaxy for points. The Galaxy, which tied for the worst record in MLS only a year ago, certainly hope their first West regular season title in seven years is a good omen. The last they won the West, they also won the MLS Cup. They just missed out that season on a double when they were beaten by the Columbus Crew in the U.S. Open Cup final. The Galaxy got a badly needed insurance goal in the 77th minute when Chris Klein, who had just come on as a substitute for Mike Magee, sent a beautiful pass to Landon Donovan who had gotten behind defender Brandon McDonald. Donovan took the pass, then beat an onrushing Cannon through his legs for his 12th goal of the season. The Galaxy dominated for most of Saturday’s match, especially in a first half which featured several good chances before ironically taking the lead on what amounted to a fluke goal. It was just five minutes into the match when the Galaxy had its first chance on an 8-yard blast by defender Sean Franklin after a wild scramble just outside the goal crease and directly in front of the San Jose net. But his attempt never made it through a group of players and was blocked by McDonald, a former member of the Galaxy. Then it was David Beckham’s turn 12 minutes later. San Jose’s Bobby Convey was called for a foul and then received a caution for dissent to set up a free kick from about 28 yards. Beckham expertly curved the ball over and around the Earthquakes defensive wall, but the ball sailed wide of the net by no more than a yard. San Jose, which was on a four-game (1-0-3) unbeaten streak on the road, finally showed some life on offense barely two minutes later when a shot by Ramiro Corrales just missed the Galaxy net from about 20 yards. The Galaxy, however, clearly were holding the upper hand in quality chances. Dema Kovalenko, for example, known more for his defensive play, got into the offensive flow and barely chipped one over the crossbar in the 22nd minute. That led to the Galaxy’s unusual score two minutes later. Donovan simply was attempting a cross into the penalty area when San Jose’s Bobby Burling stuck out his foot. The ball was deflected just enough, sailed high over the outstretched hand of Earthquakes goalie Joe Cannon and landed in the far corner of the net for a stunning own goal and 1-0 Galaxy lead. The Earthquakes responded with their best chance of the opening 45 minutes. It was just two minutes later when Corrales attempted a free kick and sent the ball deep into the Galaxy penalty area. McDonald, streaking toward the net, got his head on it. Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, however, got his hand on it and made the save. The Galaxy had three more scoring opportunities in the half, first on Edson Buddle’s 22-yard attempt that Cannon saved easily; Chris Birchall’s attempt from a sharp angle that went wide of the net and, finally, another Beckham free kick. This one, in the 35th minute, was from 30 yards and went just high over the crossbar. By virtue of the victory, the Galaxy now know they will be the road team in the first leg of next week’s Western Conference Semifinal Series. But whether they travel to Houston — or remain right at home for the first-ever SuperClasico playoff series against fellow Home Depot Center residents Chivas USA — remains to be seen.

Hurray!! This is great news for the Galaxy … and the news just keeps getting better. As is his custom, Becks stripped off his jersey after the match and paraded around the grounds showin’ off his fine physique. After the jump, check out a few pics of hawt Becks stripped down to the waist …

First California First Lady Maria Shriver did it, then Brandy did it … now David Beckham got busted doing it … here are scandalous photos of Becks using his mobile phone while driving — a crime in the state of California!

Seems there’s a hot new law breaking craze in Hollywood these days, and David Beckham is quick to jump on the bandwagon! Ever since California first lady Maria Shriver was caught red handed using her phone while driving, a no no that her own hubby passed into law earlier this year, stars have been snapped left right and center flaunting the law of the land. David Beckham is the latest to be caught breaking the law. The 34-year old soccer legend was snapped texting on his cell phone, with no hands on the steering wheel, as he left soccer training Wednesday. Beckham was driving his custom designed Escalade from The LA Galaxy training grounds, but was too distracted to pay attention to the road. A definite flaunting of the laws of California!

OK … full disclosure … I, too, tend to unlawfully refer to my mobile phone while in the act of driving … trust me, I’m not proud of it and I am trying really hard to stop the practice … so I can understand how difficult it can be for folks to quit cold turkey. It is a dangerous habit and I’m workin’ to stop breaking the law … I’m sure Becks is workin’ really hard, too. Well … mebbe now that the world knows of his naughty habits he’ll work towards adhering to the letter of the law :)

David Beckham, who is here at home in LA taking care of the children while his wife Victoria Beckham is off gallivanting on the other side of the globe, was spotted paying a visit to the Underwood Family Farm here in SoCal picking up a big ass pumpkin for Hallowe’en carving … behold:

It would appear that Becks went to the pumpkin patch during the day while the kiddies were safely ensconced at school, perhaps as a surprise? Because Hallowe’en is getting closer every day, it’s no surprise that Becks would want to venture out to make this year’s Beckham family pumpkin selection … tho, considering that David and I went pumpkin picking for our Date Night this past Monday it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that he took his cue to go pumpkin picking from us ;)

After a quick match with the English football club in the UK earlier this week, a very scruffy-lookin’ David Beckham made his return home to LA yesterday to be reunited with his family. Because I’m a fan of the facial hair that Becks has been rockin’, I thought it’d be nice to check in and see just how scruffy he’s gotten in the past day or two:

Becks has rocked the facial hair before … but he never keeps it for very long. I think he would look really great with a full beard but I doubt that’ll happen. I think we’re gonna have to enjoy the scruff while we can cuz he’ll prolly be shaving it off any second now. I like Becks when he looks all grizzly … don’t it make you just wanna go GRRRRRR all up in his biz? Wee!!
