DAVID BECKHAM’S BOYS ARE CUTE BUT THEY’RE NOT SOCCER FANATICS

David Beckham is resigned to the fact that his sons are not following in his footsteps. Brooklyn, 21, above right, is more interested in photography and is now planning his wedding. David’s youngest son Cruz, 15, is a musician and aspires to have a show business career like his mother Victoria. Romeo, 16, (not pictured) is more interested in tennis than soccer. That leaves nine year old Harper to carry on the family tradition – indeed, she is already playing soccer every week (to David’s delight) and loves it.

AT LEAST ONE OF DAVID BECKHAM’S KIDS IS INTERESTED IN PLAYING SOCCER

David Beckham’s three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, have all given up the idea of playing soccer – and David says it’s “heartbreaking.” But all is not lost – his daughter Harper, 7, is VERY interested. She plays every Sunday with kids her own age, with dad proudly watching. David takes her to the Women’s World Cup Championship soccer games every year (above) and she loves it. Who knows what will happen?

PAMELA ANDERSON DOESN’T CARE WHAT HER FRIENDS THINK

Or her family, for that matter. Pam Anderson had been living on the French Riviera with her French soccer player boyfriend Adil Rami, until they broke up last September. Pamela reasoned that she never expected the romance to last forever and her friends and her sons were happy to spend more time with her. They thought her boyfriend was rather possessive. But despite Rami’s partying ways, the couple reunited in March and the relationship is hotter than ever. Pam DOES love going to his soccer games and she enjoys living in France. Rami is 18 years younger than Pam and he’s talking marriage, but Pam has been married three times and so far, she’s not listening…

RIHANNA’S TWEETS LURE SOCCER STUD

When Rihanna develops a crush on someone, she DOES something about it. She’s a big soccer fan and last year during the World Cup, superhot Real Madrid player Karim Benzema caught her eye. She tweeted him and he tweeted her back. Flash forward to last night. Rihanna partied at The Griffin nightclub in New York and afterward – at 5 AM – she and Karim were seen having breakfast at a Cuban diner. They left separately- maybe keeping it quite because Karim’s French girlfriend had their baby last year.

ANGELINA JOLIE JOINED THE SOCCER MOM CLUB

Angelina Jolie heads to her kid's soccer game.

Angelina Jolie can be described in many delightful ways, but we never thought of her as a soccer mom. But she is. Angie joined the ranks of celebrity moms Gwen Stefani and Heidi Klum and spent Saturday afternoon cheering on her soccer playing kids at a Los Feliz park like an ordinary person.

AG063207_01gwencut

Gwen Stefani is one of the highest paid performers in show business, but she is determined that her kids have a very normal, unpretentious childhood like she had growing up in Orange County. So she spends every available Saturday in the park with her three boys. She’s carrying her youngest, Apollo, while she socializes with other parents watching their kids play ball. Imagine having a mom who looks like THAT.

GWEN STEFANI IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL SOCCER MOM

AG062447_11gwen

Gwen Stefani manages to find lots of time for her three sons when she’s not recording, performing or keeping all those acupuncture appointments. Like Heidi Klum, she’s always at the park watching them play soccer or football. And those 3 boys are a handful. Gavin Rossdale is usually with the family, but right now he’s busy touring with his new album. Gwen is one of our favorite celebrity mothers.

IT’S OKAY TO HAVE A SEX CHANGE IN IRAN IF YOU DON’T MIND GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS

IRAN-WOMENS-SOCCE#18cut

Why would any Iranian man want to have a sex change? Surprisingly, it’s permitted there, but he would LOSE many of his legal rights. Imagine a country that resists gender mingling but allows gender reassignment! (We wonder if it’s legal for WOMEN also.) A man would become half of what he used to be. Of course he’d be veiled from head to toe, which would be convenient for the surgical process but he couldn’t show off anything after it was complete. It’s hard to imagine gender reassignment in Iran but the subject came up when four members of the Iranian women’s soccer team turned out to be men or some variation thereof. Now they’re all being tested.

Gwen Stefani arrives at a park in Sherman Oaks, ready to watch her son Kingston play soccer. Kingston, by the way, is getting AWFULLY cute. Gwen is prepared – she carries her own folding chair along with a bag of other necessities. Hopefully her next child will be a little girl and she‘ll also be going to ballet recitals and classes.
