Sweet-A Adidas Commercial

Filed under: 9) Video (Misc.), Argentina, Barcelona, David Beckham

Adidas just released it’s new pulse-pumping television commercial starring Argentina and Barcelona star Lionel Messi. Given the rest of the cast, this is almost certainly an American commercial. And, sadly, most folks who view this will know it as the Derrick Rose / Katy Perry Adidas ad. They probably won’t even notice that Beckham makes a cameo!

Nonetheless, this commercial is thoroughly entertaining. Messi and Rose are bad-asses.

David Beckham has made a bit of a name for himself with his breath-taking free kicks and dazzling assists.

Well, the England and LA Galaxy star added another sort of assist to his long list of achievements. He stoppped and helped a stranded motorist while en route to training with Tottenham Hotspur.

Though many MLS fans are unhappy with Becks for not having returned to LA for preseason training, Paul Long and his two children couldn’t be more appreciative of the soccer star’s current choice of location.

Check out the ITN News coverage of the story, including audio of Mr. Long’s account.

After disappearing to the Southwest for a few weeks, I’m back in action. Why not kick off the New Year with a little Beckham action?!?

“‘I don’t see this as work,’ says February cover girl Victoria Beckham of her successful fashion empire. ‘At 18 I was in the Spice Girls. But I wasn’t very good, let’s be honest. I didn’t really, you know… sing. This is something I can do.’ Wearing Stella McCartney for her second cover, Beckham talks marriage, fashion, breast implants and family pets – they have a dog called Coco Chanel – interviewed by Lisa Armstrong for Queen Victoria – page 126.”

After today’s interview with Ellen Degeneres, David Beckham decided to have a little fun.

Apparently, he’s enjoyed a few of the hidden camera pranks other guests have performed on the show, and he wanted to get in on the action.

I guess it shouldn’t be shocking since we’re dealing with Ellen here… but this is surprisingly funny. “Ricky” Beckham is a nifty, little prankster!

Can you imagine how BIG that girl’s smile would be if she were snapping that photo from over here?

Maybe as BIG as…

And, can you imagine how the world would lose it’s mind if David Beckham posed in the ESPN Body Issue?

Nothing against Tim Howard nude… but, the internet would melt if it were Becks instead.
