David Beckham

Roland Martin may have been joking about Super Bowl-related topics with some off-color Tweets Sunday night, but his bosses at CNN definitely didn't find it funny.

The political contributor has been suspended by the network after his remarks - most notably about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad - were called homophobic.

Gay-rights powerhouse GLAAD pushed hard for CNN to fire Martin. That did not happen, but disciplinary sanctions were taken, and his return date is not clear.

In a statement, CNN said:

"[Martin's] tweets were regrettable and offensive. Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated."

"We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland Martin will not be appearing on our air for the time being."

Martin fired off the controversial tweet (above) during the Super Bowl.

In another, he wrote, "Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass."

Martin tried to backpedal by issuing an apology Monday.

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?

With all these Super Bowl ads leaking early (see Matthew Broderick's from earlier), you won't have to worry if you need to during the game ... in a different way.

Or maybe you'll want to stick around for another look at this one, especially if you're female. Usually it's half-naked girls in Super Bowl commercials. Not here.

David Beckham's new ad for his H&M underwear line was just released, showing the soccer hunk wearing nothing more than "Bodywear" briefs and a smile:

David Beckham Super Bowl Ad

With the camera utilizing more angles than the Kim Kardashian sex tape, the tattooed 36-year-old shows off his line - briefs are $12.95 and trunks $14.95, guys.

In a press release, Becks said "I'm excited about my bodywear ad featuring in this year's Super Bowl ... it's been a fantastic collaborative experience. I'm very happy with the end result. Like every fan, I'm looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday."

For Victoria Beckham, every day must feel like Super Bowl Sunday.

Even if Tom Brady and the Patriots knock off the Ravens on Sunday, the quarterback may not be the most handsome man associated with Super Bowl XLVI.

That's because David Beckham - who just signed a new two-year deal to remain with the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS - will be featured during a second quarter commercial... in his underwear!

The spot will mark Beckham's first campaign with H&M and will support the launch of his nine-piece bodywear collection, which hits 1,800 stores nationwide on February 2. He says of the collaboration:

"With my design team we spent time working on the feel, fit and style to ensure the product is not only something I would wear but one which I would be proud to put my name to. I always want to challenge myself and this was such a rewarding experience for me. I'm very happy with the end result and I hope H&M's male customers will be as excited as I am."

With David Beckham's contract with the L.A. Galaxy ending this past November after a huge victory in the MLS Cup championships, his professional future is unclear.

Crystal clear, however, is ... just look at the H&M ad below!

Even though the father of four's day job is unsettled at the moment, there is no doubt his side gig as a celebrity fashion designer has kicked into high gear.

The first ad for the 36-year-old's line of body wear for H&M debuted today, revealing who else but the soccer star himself stripped down to his briefs. Wow.

Flaunting his toned bod and tattoos, Beckham wants you to know you can get in his underpants around Valentine's Day. In a manner of speaking of course.

Megan Fox, Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis... Helen Mirren?!?

The 66-year old British actress isn't typically included among the hottest women in the world, unless you take an L.A. Fitness poll. That health club surveyed 2,000 members last month, asking them who possessed the Body of the Year.

And, great dame, Mirren took home the title!

Helen Mirren is gorgeous for a 66-year old, but Kelly Brook has two major objections to these results.

The top 10 female celebrities, according to this poll:

1. Helen Mirren - 17.65%
2. Elle MacPherson - 10.6%
3. Kelly Brook -  8.35%
4. Jennifer Lopez -  6.6%
5. Cheryl Cole -  5.35%
6. Myleene Klass -  4.2%
7. Holly Willoughby -  4.1%
8. Pippa Middleton -  4%
9. Kate Winslet -  3.9%
10. Nicole Scherzinger -  3.8%

Everyone together now: AWWWWW!

A week after David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their first daughter into the world, they've given fans their first glimpse of little Harper Seven.

"I took this picture of my two girls sleeping," the soccer star wrote over the weekend prior to posting the following pic on Facebook:

Victoria then Tweeted a photo yesterday of her man and her fourth child, titling it "Daddy's little girl." Check it out NOW and then send your very best wishes to the family's new, adorable addition!

Victoria and David Beckham's brood has gained its first girl.

The parents of three boys welcomed a daughter at 7:55 a.m. PST today. She weighed seven pounds, 10 ounces at birth. Her name? Harper Seven.

One day your husband is snapping a pic of you sunbathing, the next day, you're a new mother!

"Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family," said Beckham spokesperson Jo Milloy.

The little one shares a birthday with Kate Hudson's new son, who also entered the world today. Congrats to both families!

I look at David naked and think, 'You done good, girl!' - Victoria Beckham to Marie Claire last month.

The woman formerly known as Posh Spice did more than just look at her husband naked recently, as this couple has announced its expecting its fourth child in the spring.

"David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to confirm they are expecting their fourth child in the summer," said spokeswoman Jo Milloy. "[Sons] Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are very excited about the arrival of their new brother or sister."

The model and soccer star have been married for 11 years.

He's stripped down multiple times for Armani, but David Beckham will soon be getting nearly naked for no one but himself. And millions of women around the world, of course.

Sources confirm that the 35-year old soccer star/stud will soon launch his own line of men's underwear, as one insider told MTV UK:

"The whole planet went nuts when David stripped off for his Armani ads. Sales went through the roof. It was decided not to renew the Armani contract and develop a business of David’s own. He has seen how fulfilling it has been for Victoria to branch out and relishes a similar challenge.”

Reports indicate that sales of Armani increased by 30% with Beckham as the face/body of the brand.
