Today at the Splash London office we are ordering in pizza for everyone (quantities of which Homer and Joey would be jealous of), but I'm not sure if I'm salivating over the idea of eating a ham and pineapple slice or David Beckham! His little dough eyes always melt my heart! Splash caught up with the star when he made an appearance at the Optus store in Sydney to launch the MOTORAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition. It appears he has gone endorsement crazy in Australia.

I feel the need to say, 'may the drool be with you', because I am sure that many of you with be quite excited to see a set of David Beckham gracing the Splash blog. The gorgeous football star had flown to Australia to help launch Four Codes Of Football for Adidas with Australian Football players Matt Giteau, Mark Gasnier and Dale Thomas in Sydney Harbour. He arrived with the others on a swanky yacht and kicked an impressive round of balls into a net placed over water.

What a great pick-me-up after a long day. . . David Beckham looking impressively h-o-t (as usual) when he was spotted in Sydney, Australia! Splash caught up with him arriving at the Star City Casino along with his teammates from LA Galaxy. How can he look so erm, nice, so consistently? It's amazing.

Christmas came early for the Spice Girls yesterday as the group tucked into turkey and stuffing at the Beckham's Los Angeles mansion. The girl group were snapped arriving at Posh's pad as they got together around 12:30pm to celebrate the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Mel B, Geri, Emma, Mel C and Posh have been busily rehearsing for their reunion tour shows in Los Angeles, but the girls seemed happy to take a break from their tight schedule to relax with some festive fun. Four blacked-out limousines were spotted arriving at the Beckham's Beverley Hills home just after midday. A catering crew were seen arriving earlier in the day to prepare the feast. Mel B was the only member not taking the whole day off, as she spent the morning in the dance studio rehearsing for the finale of Dancing With The Stars, set to take place on Monday. Everyone left the dinner around 17:30. Just in case your unsure, pictured above is Emma Bunton, Jade Jones and Mel C.

David Beckham looked like one happy chappy as he played a Charity Match between LA Galaxy and Hollywood United, in the Home Depot Center. David had arrived to the Carson Football grounds in his brand new black Porsche, but he was very reluctant to show his face as he stopped at a drive-in Starbucks and hid behind a visor. He saved all his cheeky charm and good looks for the pitch! Pictures: Clasos.com

Now I know that David Beckham's friendship has been well-documented, but even I was surprised at the quotes I paged through today. Becks positively gushed about his friend Tom Cruise when he hit the Los Angeles premiere of Lions for Lambs, saying:

"We met Tom a few years back in Madrid and we just sort of clicked as friends. Once he met Katie and they got married, and had Suri of course, we've all become really close and good friends, the whole family. He's such a romantic man, and a great guy, and a great friend."

Continuing, he said that "He's been an amazing friend to us - he's supported me with my career so it's nice to come out and support him. He's an amazing person - one of the most if not the most positive people I have ever met. Anybody he meets he makes feel welcome, from my parents to my sons to me and Victoria." Woah, nelly. Those are some pretty positive words indeed. On another note, enjoy the hotness below.
