David Beckham Shows Off Some Old Magic
David Beckham Shows Off Some Old Magic
David Beckham Shows Off Some Old Magic, David Beckham shows he can still blast it into the top corner, The soccer legend leaves television announcers in awe with this impressive, long distance shot. It's been an unpleasant start to the season for the LA Galaxy. On Saturday night they looked more like reigning MLS champions after a 3-1 win over Portland that was topped off by a beautiful goal from David Beckham.
Beckham was given too much time and far too much open space in the middle of the pitch to blast his shot into the top corner from distance. And the result seemed inevitable even though he was subbed out of the last match he played at halftime. But, as everyone should know by now, David Beckham has a habit of reminding people that he's still got it whenever they start to doubt him.

U.S. Olympic star's Lindsey Vonn whopping IRS bill
U.S. Olympic star's Lindsey Vonn whopping IRS bill
U.S. Olympic star's Lindsey Vonn whopping IRS bill, Lindsey Vonn owes IRS $1.7 million, Skier Lindsey Vonn recently learned that she owes the government for delinquent taxes. Lindsey Vonn, the skier who made a splash after winning alpine skiing gold at the Vancouver Olympics, found out she owes the government $1,700,000 in back taxes for the year she won that gold. According to the Detroit News, the IRS filed a $1,705,437 tax lien against Vonn and her estranged husband Thomas on April 2 with the Elko County Recorder in Nevada.
She is in the middle of a divorce with Thomas, the man who was once her coach and mentor. She released a statement on her Facebook page promising to pay what she owed.
I am disappointed with this situation. I just recently became aware of the outstanding balance and I have done everything in my power to settle it immediately. The money owed was for the 2010 tax year, which was filed on time, and it has been paid in full. This is an important lesson for me. Not being in control of my finances and relying on someone else who you believed had your best interest at heart was a mistake and one I will not make twice.
Vonn made money from winning World Cup races and several endorsements, including Under Armour, Rolex, and Procter and Gamble.
Despite her personal troubles, Vonn had a banner year on the slopes. She won her fiftieth individual World Cup race, and took the overall World Cup title by finishing first in the super G, downhill and combined races.

SNL Mocks Kim Kardashian's Relationship With Kanye West
SNL Mocks Kim Kardashian's Relationship With Kanye West
SNL Mocks Kim Kardashian's Relationship With Kanye West, Saturday Night Live The jokes were inevitable: A week after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West took their romance public, the comics at Saturday Night Live questioned its validity in one of their sketches. The April 14 episode, hosted by Josh Brolin, featured Nasim Pedrad (as Kardashian) and Jay Pharaoh (as West) weighing in on the Trayvon Martin case during an appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight.
Pedrad's Kardashian was shocked that it took Florida officials so long to arrest George Zimmerman and charge him with second degree murder. "Forty-six days!" she whined. "That's like half a marriage!"
After the comics poked fun at Kardashian's past relationships, Taran Killam (as Morgan) asked: "Is your relationship for real, or is it just another publicity stunt?"
"I love this woman," Pharoah's West said. "As I said earlier this week, she's my Beyonce."
Pedrad's Kardashian added: "Only without the singing, or the dancing or the acting. I'm a zero-threat!"
Jokes aside, multiple insiders tell the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Kardashian's relationship with the hip-hop megastar is the real deal. "It's not a PR stunt," a source insists of the rapper, 34, and reality star, 31. "They're perfect for each other."

Reese Witherspoon upstaged in dress
Reese Witherspoon upstaged in dress
Reese Witherspoon upstaged in dress, Reese Witherspoon vs. Rooney Mara — Fashion Faceoff, The star overaccessorizes a look worn with more understated style by a buzzy young actress. "This Mean War" is the title of Reese Witherspoon's latest movie, but it could also describe the message she recently sent to actress Rooney Mara. The two hit the red carpet in the same chic, retro-shaped sleeveless dress just five weeks apart. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's" Lisbeth Salander isn't one to back away from a fight, so this fashion battle is on! And it's up to us to decide just who wore it best.
Reese, 36, donned the dress in sunny yellow for the "This Means War" premiere in Rio de Janeiro on March 8. The Oscar winner added a statement necklace, belt, Jimmy Choo sandals, and a ponytail.
Oscar nominee Rooney, 26, slipped on the frock for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 3. She accessorized simply with Giambattista Valli heels and pulled her hair back in a low ponytail.
This is tough as the dress is flirty and flattering on both ladies! Both women also chose the design in a color that really compliments their hair and fabulous footwear, so this comes down to the details. Reese earns bonus points for making her look more polished by belting the garment, but she loses points for having too much going on in the accessories department. Does she really need a belt, a statement necklace, and a ponytail? Meanwhile, Rooney could use a belt to make her look less plain, but I applaud her understated hairstyle and her minimalistic approach. So I say Rooney's the winner, although I have a feeling a lot of people are going to disagree.

Seattle Mariners Dad Surprise Son During Safeco Field Homecoming
Seattle Mariners Dad Surprise Son During Safeco Field Homecoming
Seattle Mariners Dad Surprise Son During Safeco Field Homecoming, Army father dresses as umpire to surprise son during Safeco Field homecoming (VIDEO), Soldier's homecoming gets a clever twist, The Seattle Mariners come up with a witty new way to reunite a 13-year-old boy with his dad. The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics held an opening day in Tokyo on March 28, another in Oakland on April 6 and one more — just for old time's sake — in Seattle on Friday. Army Sergeant's surprise reunion:
"I'm a little tired of seeing them," Seattle ace Felix Hernandez told reporters.
That may be, but it'll be hard to tire of seeing arguably the best highlight from any of the three games. Watch what happens as 13-year-old Kyle Smerer is asked to take part in the "Steal-a-Base" onfield promotion at Safeco Field and is surprised by his father, Steven Smerer, an Army First Sergeant who had just returned from a tour in Afghanistan.
Wow. Now that's a great homecoming.
And a great surprise, too. Kyle said he had no idea that his father was back in the country, let alone the ballpark on Friday night. He really thought he needed to get back to the warning track as fast as he could with second base.
Instead, Kyle was interrupted by his father, a 17-year Army veteran who had been out of the country since December. And it wasn't an interruption that Kyle welcomed at first.
From MLB.com:
"Somebody grabbed me and I was like, 'What are you doing? I'm trying to run back in a little amount of time,' " Kyle said.
He was in so much shock that it took him a few seconds to realize it wasn't an umpire. Instead, it was his father, First Sgt. Steve Smerer, who Kyle thought was still deployed in Afghanistan.
"I was really shocked to see him," a beaming Kyle said afterward. "I didn't know he was going to be here. I'll probably never forget this."
While Kyle's reunion with his dad was great, it was his teary reunion with 16-year-old daughter Kayla — whom you can see near the end of that clip — was just as emotional and highlight-worthy.
Seriously, what a great memory and what a beautiful family.
