David Beckham Kicked Out of Kids' Soccer Game

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?

Leslie Carter Funeral: Nick Carter Excluded By Family?

The Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter says he wanted to attend his sister Leslie Carter's funeral in Upstate New York this weekend, but his own family made it impossible.

Say what now?

As the 25-year-old Leslie was laid to rest at a small ceremony after a suspected drug overdose claimed her life last week, several family members were on hand.

Just not Nick.

Nick Carter said that, “I wanted to be at my sister’s funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic." He would not explain the circumstances.

Sources close to the singer, however, say feels family members went out of their way to make sure he was not included. Brother Aaron Carter was present.

"There are so many emotions for me surrounding the loss of my sister," Nick said, again not elaborating. "I am trying to stay healthy, positive, and focused.”

Leslie's stepmother, Ginger, said reports of Nick being excluded by the family are not true, but quickly hung up the phone before explaining any further.

Mimi Alford is not letting John F. Kennedy rest in peace.

This former White House intern appeared with NBC's Meredith Vieira yesterday and hyped her upcoming memoir, which will be released tomorrow and which alleges she carried on an 18-month affair with JFK while he was in office.

The book is titled "Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy."

Why would she possibly reveal this information now?

"It's not so much that I feel that I'm exposing myself, it's that I'm really unburdening myself - it was a very difficult thing for me to do," Alford says in an interview that will air in its entirety tomorrow night on Rock Center with Brian Williams.

Randy Travis Arrested For Public Intoxication

Country singer Randy Travis, 52, has issued an apology after being arrested on a charge of public intoxication outside a North Texas church early yesterday morning.

Denton County sheriff’s spokesman Tom Reedy says police in the town of Sanger, Texas, arrested Travis after spotting a vehicle parked in front of a church.

They found an open bottle of wine and Travis smelling of alcohol.

Reedy says Travis, whose country hits include “Forever and Ever, Amen,” was brought to the Denton County jail about 1:30 a.m. and released six hours later.

Travis, who split with his wife-manager of 19 years Lib Hatcher in 2010, was let go after he was booked on the misdemeanor charge of public intoxication.

The singer, who lives in the small town of Tioga near Sanger, apologized in a statement “for what resulted following an evening of celebrating the Super Bowl.”

We can understand that feeling - it was a pretty great game, unless you're Gisele Bundchen - but no need to booze it up in the car outside a church, Randy.

Maria Menounos Loses Super Bowl Wager, Clothing

The New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XVLI on Sunday night.

But Maria Menounos gave Bostonians a reason to smile yesterday, fulfilling her end of a wager with fellow Extra correspondent AJ Calloway... by stripping down to a Giants-colored bikini while reporting in Times Square!

Fortunately for Menounos, a long-time Pats fan, it was an unseasonably warm day in The Big Apple, with temperatures hovering around 50. We assume they were even hotter in her immediate vicinity once the reporter's clothes came off.

The Bachelor Recap: Casey Shteamer Gets Busted, Courtney Robertson Gets Nude (Again)

Ben Flajnik may be the titular star of the ABC reality franchise, but this season of The Bachelor has been without a doubt the season of Courtney Robertson.

Week after week, the girl continues to cement her reputation as the best Bachelor villain of all time, while redefining the standards of human terribleness.

Okay, sorry. That was a bit harsh. Well, maybe.

Skinny-dipping is a tough act to follow, but Court is a tough girl to hold back when it comes to showing off her body. She's, like, a model after all y'know.

There was also a pretty big scandal involving Samantha, as The Bachelor spoilers (and the promos, and Chris Harrison) told us. How it that play out?

Join us for THG's official +/- Bachelor recap of week six ...

Casey Shteamer

Kacie B. got the first one-on-one date this season and after earning her second this week, looks more and more like a contender. She's nice. Plus 10.

Ben says this date - "surviving on a desert island" will show how they might work together in the future. Minus 60 for that recycled Bachelor platitude.

“Watching Ben cut into a coconut … it’s so hot,” Kacie says. Mmm. Plus 5.

She shares her high school history of anorexia and bulimia with Ben. Heavy topic and maybe too soon, but honest, courageous and forthright. Plus 12.

In the dreaded two-on-one date, Blakeley and Rachel go salsa dancing. Blakely pulls out all the tricks ... and we mean implied sexual favors. Plus 9.

Then she shows Ben a scrapbook of their love story, which is hilarious and kind of stalker-like as she never had real one-on-one time with Ben. Minus 11.

Rachel Trueheart (that's her name) gets the rose. Plus 8.

The Voice Recap: Fooled by Flash and Boobs?

The Voice came back strong in its Season 2 premiere after the Super Bowl and Monday's first two-hour installment of the season offered more of the same.

Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are great. They take this seriously enough to make The Voice competitive but not so much that they forget to have fun, and the Blind Auditions are a hoot as a result.

From Cee Lo's glasses to Adam's prayer-like meditation while focusing on the audition, to Blake accusing the contestants of being "fooled by flash and boobs" (i.e. Christina earning some good prospects), the laughs were aplenty.

Each coach picked up two more talented team members Monday. Who was the best? Let's get down to business and see who was chosen by which judge/coach ...

Team Christina nabbed the first audition of the night in The Line, a country duo of Hailey and Leland from Nashville who chose Xtina over all three of the others.

Their version of "American Girl" was a four-chair turner:

Christina then scored Lindsey Pavao, who performed "Say Aah." Her unique tone impressed Christina, Cee Lo, and Blake, but Xtina beat them out again:

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Recap, Part II: Let the Brandi Glanville Bashing Begin!

After last week's Part I, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion show continued with more drama last night as Brandi and Taylor join us for the full hour.

Let's recap it all with THG's +/- review!

Last week they took shots at Lisa but now it's time for Brandi Glanville bashing. We like Brandi. Yes, she's brash but she's also fun, entertaining, and says what she thinks to someone's face instead of behind their back. There's a concept.

No wonder she doesn't quite fit in with the Beverly Hills crowd. Plus 20.

Brandi in the House

Brandi hit the scene this season with high heels, no bra, and even on crutches she had legs that wouldn't quit. So being younger and prettier meant that she immediately made enemies and it was wonderful entertainment. Plus 10.

So Andy takes us back to Game Night where Kim and Kyle's mean sides came out and Brandi called Kyle a bitch and threatened to kill Kim. Ah, good times.

At least Kyle's owning her mean girl title that night so Plus 8.

Even Lisa admits she was mortified when she saw the actual footage. She backed Kyle but hadn't known how she acted. 

But Kyle's quick to backtrack when Brandi calls her on hiding her crutches. She didn't do it, her sister did. Yeah, but she still walked off leaving Brandi sitting there not knowing where her crutches were.

That was simply childish and she's not owning up to that one. Minus 10.

Jeffrey Fraza, Boxer Who Appeared on The Contender, Killed By Train

Jeffrey Fraza, a struggling boxer who competed on the reality show The Contender in 2005 and was looking to make a comeback, was killed in tragic fashion this week.

He was struck by an empty train on the commuter tracks in Haverhill, Mass.

"He was a great kid. I love him like a brother. I'm kind of in shock," trainer Micky Ward, the retired pro played by Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter, told the Boston Herald.

"He was going to try to make another run at it. It's just a shame."

Fraza

Was Fraza's death an accident? The case remains under investigation, but according to his friends, Fraza walked those train tracks in his hometown regularly.

And though he struggled recently after being diagnosed with Chron's disease, which causes inflammation of the digestive tract, many believe it was an accident.

"He was a good man," ex-girlfriend Sylvia Pastrana said.

"He was training little kids at the Haverhill Boxing Club," said Pastrana, who lived nearby with their 14-year-old son, Antonio. "He was fine and he was in good spirits."

Per the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Fraza was on his cell phone when he was struck near Hale Street by a train inbound to Boston.

He was found dead at the scene at 1:24 a.m. R.I.P.
