It seems David Beckham’s sons are well on there way to becoming all-American boys. Cruz, four, and Romeo, seven, and Brooklyn, nine, who now call Los Angeles home, were seen enjoying a game of American football yesterday. The little trio were in good spirits as they wrestled for the ball and at one stage Cruz lead an impromptu game of baseball. David was forced to coach from the sidelines after he twisted his ankle during a LA Galaxy match against Chivas USA last week. But sources say the star is wearing a medical boot as a precaution, and is expected to recover in time for the biggest game of his U.S. football career this weekend. His team is set to face Real Salt Lake in the final of the MLS Cup on Sunday in Seattle. Prior to Beckham’s injury, the team had been favourites to win the championship and it would be their first accolade since he joined the club three seasons ago.

Now, y’all know that I love any pics of Becks (or any dad for that matter) spending quality time with his kids but these photos are just too much. I love that the Beckham boys really do look like all American kids playing with their dad, who just so happens to be an international soccer star. The Beckham boys played more than just football with their dad yesterday — they also engaged a little in America’s favorite past time sport — check out those photos after the jump …

Awww … as much as I love these baseball pics, I think I prefer the football photos. Truth be told all of the photos combined make for a really cute picture over all. Aren’t they great? Oh and GO GALAXY!!!

Break out the Bordeaux, the whoopee cushions and the bangin’ Keith Richards guitar solos, because the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive party is officially under way. Bringing the fun with him wherever he goes – whether it’s onscreen in fizzy roles like Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise or at home with his family on their private Bahamian island – is just one reason why Johnny Depp, who also scored the honor in 2003, has joined an elite club of two-time SMA title holders (only Brad Pitt and George Clooney have matched the feat). At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood’s most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.

Considering how sexy Johnny really is, I’m surprised this is the photo that People decided to use for their cover … they deffo could’ve found a sexier photo, don’t you think? As you may recall, People selected Hugh Jackman as the Sexiest Man Alive last year … but there are 109 other sexy men who made the cut this year along with Johnny. After the jump, check out a few photos of some of the other dudes who were selected by People magazine this year …

Not that it’s a very difficult task but People really does a great job of picking out the sexiest of the sexy. I mean, Jerry O’Connell in the speedo is proof positive ;) I’m also glad to see some of my faves — David Beckham, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and the Glee guys — also made the cut. Make sure you pick up this special issue of People magazine to see all the sexy men who have been named among the sexiest of the year. Did your fave guy make the cut?

You know, this mohawky hair’do would look really dumb on pretty much everyone else but Becks really knows how to make it work. He look great … sexy, even. As cool as it is that VB spent some time in Kentucky working with underprivileged children, I’m glad Becks stayed in town to spread his hotness around to the masses.

Oh, there is another bit of random Beckham news which I have to share with all y’all. While the real life Becks looks all hot and shizz, a new waxwork statue at Louis Tussaud’s in Thailand of Les Beckhams look anything but hot — in fact, they look downright terrifying. After the jump, check ‘em out …

Visitors to the Louis Tussauds House of Wax in Thailand were left scratching their heads in bewilderment as the museum unveiled arguably some of the most bizarrewaxworks ever. Life-sized figures of David and Victoria Beckham did little justice to the couple, in fact the only real similarity came in Victoria’s familiar grey dress from her VB clothing line which she has been spotted wearing several times. Meanwhile David’s waxwork gave him a receding hairline and appeared to age him by around a decade … A total of sixty eight wax figures depicting famous figures, including late Hong Kong action star Bruce Lee and Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler are among the bizarre collection.

LOL! These statues are HORRRRRIBLE! I mean, I know it’s difficult to duplicate perfection but these statues don’t even come close. Yikes!! Ah well, I guess that just means we’ll have to appreciate the real thing even more by comparison ;)

Aww … ain’t this the cutest thing ever? Becks and Cruz make quite an adorable pair. But, Becks wasn’t only at the Home Depot Center to show off his new ‘do, he was actually there to play some serious soccer with his Galaxy cohorts. It turns out that the LA Galaxy managed to pull off another win — which means that Becks will NOT be returning to the UK to play with the English Team against Brazil later on in the week. Now, because Becks and the Galaxy won — there was much cause for celebration at the end of the match … and you know what that means … (hint: there is shirtlessness behind the jump)

The 35 year-old was named in Fabio Capello’s 24-man squad but would only have joined up with the squad had Galaxy been knocked out of the MLS play-offs. As a result of the victory over Chivas, David Beckham will remain in the States to play host to Houston Dynamo on Friday. Success at the end of the week would signal Galaxy’s most successful campaign since Beckham joined in 2007. His influence was notable in last night’s victory which was decided by Landon Donovan’s 73rd minutes penalty. Beckham helped make the play possible with a pass to Donovan. Donovan then crossed the ball to attacker Mike Magee who was hauled down, earning a penalty kick from ref Ricardo Salazar. Five minutes after Donovan’s goal, Galaxy supporters looked on nervously as Beckham was forced to withdraw himself from the match having struggled after picking up a knock to his lower back. Ice was strapped on the problem area and the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder watched the remainder of the match from the bench.

Aww … it sucks that Becks got hurt but it’s great news for the LA Galaxy. It looks like the only way to get Beckham to stay in the US to play for their team is to keep winning … which sounds like a great plan, to me :) Here’s hoping the LA Galaxy can go ALL THE WAY! WOO GALAXY!

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 …

You may recall that just a few days ago we saw photos of Les Beckhams with the kiddies at the Staples Center but this latest visit was one just for father and eldest son … behold:

Soooo freakin’ cute! David Beckham clearly loves doting on his kids … it’s nice to see that his boys aren’t too grown to be embarrassed by this sort of public display of affection. Becks may be headed to Milan in January but I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of him around these here parts in the meantime. After all, basketball season has just begun.

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?

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.

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 …

Yay! Today we’re all winners. Here’s hoping the Galaxy can keep the winning streak going into the championship season. Who knows, they might be in it to win it all!!! Congrats guys!

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 :)

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 ;)
