LOL

His Super Bowl ad got Roland Martin all fired up, but the CNN commentator isn't the only one making headlines for an incident involving David Beckham.

He may be the most famous soccer player in the world, but that didn't stop a referee from giving the 36-year-old a red card at a children's match in L.A.

Before his son Romeo took the field, "there was a penalty given" to a young player from another team, Beckham recalled on The Jonathan Ross Show.

"The kids are 7 years old and [the referee] sent the kid off. And I was like, 'Come on, he's 7 years old, referee! You can't send him off,'" Becks said.

"And he looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can.'"

Beckham grew defiant and fought back, arguing: "You can't - he's 7 years old!' And [the ref] came over and he gave me a red card," the L.A. Galaxy star said.

"He told me to get out of the park. For real."

The British superstar/underwear model "went to the other side of the gate" for the duration of the game, "and I came back when my son's game was on."

Beckham's presence is usually welcomed at local sporting events: "The dads like seeing me there," David admitted, "and I coach the kids at times."

Tell us: Would you give David Beckham a red card if he were questioning your calls as a referee? Or stare in awe and ask him for an autograph?

Football recruit Cassanova McKinzy proved in choosing Auburn over Clemson that picking a college is a deeply personal decision in which many factors come into play.

Like Chick-fil-A.

Yes, that's apparently what swayed the Birmingham, Ala., linebacker after a visit to the Clemson, S.C., campus in which there was no Chick-fil-A in sight. Not cool.

"[It was] the environment, and plus they had no Chick-fil-A on campus," McKinzy said, asked why he didn't choose Clemson. "You had to go like, probably like 15 minutes off campus to go to like a real restaurant. Their café was kind of small."

Brutal. Never mind that there actually is a Chick-fil-A on Clemson's campus. A crucial fact apparently not highlighted on McKinzy's visit ... student tour guide FAIL!!

Seriously, how did that not come up at some point? Maybe it was Sunday ...

First Lady Michelle Obama talks the talk and walks the walk.

When the 48-year-old campaigns for the importance of health and physical fitness, she leads by example, as she proved today on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in L.A.

Michelle Obama accepted a bold challenge by DeGeneres to see who could do the most push-ups, with both women flinging off their dress coats on the spot.

Who won? Watch the video here and see!

Michelle Obama on Ellen

“How many was that for her?” asked DeGeneres after tapping out early (but by no means embarrassingly early) and both women had finished. “Twenty five?”

“I just stopped,” said the smiling First Lady.

Sorry Ellen. On the bright side, you hung in there for a while, and there's no way Jay Leno (whose show Michelle visited Tuesday) could do even one.

Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog, the myth, the legend, emerged from Gobbler's Knob this morning and saw his shadow, thus decreeing six more weeks of winter.

Of course, given the unseasonably warm temperatures and a lack of snow this winter throughout most of the northern U.S., maybe that's not the worst thing.

In any case, the central Pennsylvania celebrity made his annual weather forecast at daybreak Thursday before an overflow crowd of over 15,000 supporters.

Given reports of showers in the area, there were doubts going into this morning over whether there would be a shadow sighting, but evidently there was. Phil don't lie.

"Many shadows do I see: six more weeks of winter it must be," Phil said, according to the Washington Post, CNN, USA Today and local news reports.

According to legend and Groundhog Day folklore, Phil’s sighting of his own shadow on February 2 means there will be six more weeks of winter ahead of us.

Had Phil not it, it would have meant there will be an early spring.

Since the Groundhog’s first prediction in 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 99 times and failed to spot it just 16 times. There are 9 missing years in the record.

The official website of Punxsutawney Phil, perhaps not the most impartial source, claims the Groundhog has issued a correct forecast 100% of the time.

AccuWeather’s grade for the affable rodent’s weather prognostication skills is slightly lower than perfect, but still quite respectable at around 80 percent.

So bundle up ... or not. Gotta love climate change.

This little guy is a big time New York Giants fan.

His dad may be pushing him a little hard (and sounds like one of the guys on The Real Housewives of New Jersey), but he has good taste in teams at least.

Watch the youngster rattle off the whole roster of his beloved franchise, which is clearly going to defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday despite being modest underdogs, in the cute viral video below!

Little Big Giants Fan

Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy hit back at Fox News at a UK press conference following the London Premiere of their new film, in response to Fox's earlier criticism of the film "pushing a dangerous liberal agenda" at kids.

Making the publicity rounds following the London premiere of their new hit movie, Kermit and Miss Piggy defended their fellow fuzzy foam friends from attacks by the right-leaning cable channel. Check out the clip below:

The Muppets Bash Fox News

Eric Bolling, host of Follow the Money, alleged last year that The Muppets pushes a "dangerous liberal agenda," as the oil tycoon villain is named Tex Richman. "We are teaching our kids class warfare. Where are we, Communist China?" Bolling asked.

Seriously. Asked by reporters about the accusations, Kermit responded:

"Oh, it's SO dangerous. You know it's a funny thing. They were concerned about us having some prejudice against oil companies. That is categorically not true."

"And besides if we have such a big a problem with the oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film driving around a gas-guzzling Rolls-Royce?"

The lovable amphibian does make a point there.

Miss Piggy chimed in: "It's almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being, uh ... news." Oh, snap. A cable news network, OWNED by sock puppets.

Watch the original Fox segment after the jump:

This isn't a "wanna get away" Snickers ad, though it sure could be.

A giant, obvious misspelling on an NYC crosswalk has city, utility and school officials pointing fingers ... and hopefully asking for more funding for the next Spelling Bee.

Everyone involved could use a boost in that area, based on this story. Hilariously, the misspelling outside the Manhattan high school involves THE WORD "school."

The painted pavement on Stanton Street outside Marta Valle High School reads "SHCOOL X-NG," as seen here in footage captured by ABC News affiliate WABC.

The Department of Transportation claims the mistake was made by a utility provider conducting repairs, according to The NY Post, which first saw the mistake.

City officials say utility providers/contractors are responsible for returning city streets back to normal after repairs, but the school no doubt shares the blame.

After all, how do you not notice ... that of all things.

"Regardless of who painted it, someone from the school should have been outside supervising, or noticed it by now," a city worker said. "This is just sloppy."

And you thought THG's typos were bad.

Who would have guessed that the strangest thing about actress Fran Drescher would NOT be her voice?

In an interview with The Huffington Post late this week, the former star of The Nanny said she and ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson "both saw [aliens] before we know each other."

"I think that somehow we were programmed to meet," she said. "We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar on the exact same spot."

Jacobson, of course, says Drescher's scar is due to an accident that involved a drill bit or a hot cup of water, not extraterrestrials.

But the actress is adamant: "That's what the aliens programmed us to think," she says. "But really, that's where the chip is."

What do you do if you hear two guys robbing your home?

Chase them out, then grab a shovel and JUMP IN FRONT OF THEIR CAR to stop them from leaving, if you're this brave, adrenaline-fueled Georgia resident.

Watch the local news report below, in which he details how he fended off, and ultimately helped police identify the suspects responsible for this home invasion.

His only weapons? A trusty shovel and some giant cojones:

Guy Stops Burglars With Shovel

Pat Sajak has apparently hosted Wheel of Fortune while drunk. Hey, you'd have to hit the bottle to feign enthusiasm for buying vowels over the course of decades.

The host of the long-running game show says that many times, especially back in the day, he and Vanna White occasionally had a drink - or six - on the show.

When asked by Dan Le Batard of Dan Le Batard Is Highly Questionable, which airs on ESPN 2, if he ever hosted the show while intoxicated, Sajak came clean:

Pat Sajak Interview

"Yes," the TV veteran, 65, admitted with a laugh. "When I first started and was much younger and could tolerate those things. We had a different show then."

With a 2.5-hour dinner break during the show's early format, Sajak and White would drop by Los Arcos, a Mexican joint in Burbank, Calif., for margaritas.

"Vanna and I would ... have 2-3 or six and then come and do the last shows and have trouble recognizing the alphabet," he says. "I had a great time."

"I have no idea if the shows were good, but no one said anything."

All good then. While he insists he no longer imbibes at work, Sajak says the old shows are fun to watch. "They're really great tapes to get a hold of," he says.

One can only imagine.
