Quote "PS Don't forget - July 21st on ESPN-HD - David Beckham and L.A. Galaxy vs. Chelsea (so I guess that's Tom Cruise vs Madonna ?)"
I hear you on that. Did you see the final Real Madrid game of the season on World Sport HD? The camera kept showing Tom Cruise with Kate Holmes and Posh.
The Cruises were kissing every time Real scored, as if they cared if Real won instead of converting the Beckhams to Scientology. To each his own I suppose, but I get the feeling Tom Cruise hasn't been a life-long Real supporter, or David Beckham supporter for that matter.
Victoria has already come out and said that they won't be doing the Scientology thing. I believe either she or Dave is Catholic and it's a total no-go with them.
However, Posh does like the spotlight and Cruise needs all the positive press he can get, so it's a mutually beneficial, sycophantic relationship for all parties involved there.
I was talking to some friends who aren't quite as familiar with football as I am and they asked about the Tom Cruise thing. I told them that as a way of putting in perspective how widely recognized and popular Becks is, Cruise is glomming onto him in hopes of improving his own image and not the other way around.
That said, I actually recorded the World Sport feed of that match and instead watched the SD feed of the match just so I could listen to Ray Hudson have kittens on the commentary. Absolutely priceless commentary from Ray.
Now I just wait for the 21st to roll around so I can go watch Becks and the Galaxy Goofups play Chelsea. Maybe I'll serenade Jose with a nice diddy or two along the lines of:
Jose where ever you may be
Park Ji Sung ate your dog for tea,
It could be worse, it could be dead,
Now you gotta get a cat instead.
or
Mourinho are you listening
We heard you're dog had gone missing,
We heard him bark,
So we fed him to Park,
Walking in a stir-fry wonderland.
Imagine the songs we'd sing about Park Ji Sung if we
didn't like him?
