**DAVID BECKHAM ALERT**

adidas is taking no prisoners in its pre World Cup advertising battle against Nike. Adidas bought the largest outdoor poster site in Europe (Birmingham, England.) The space is bigger than a soccer field, takes up nearly an acre of advertising space, and is visible from more than a mile away. Best part, the hottest adidas endorsers David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Gary Neville are featured in the ad. The images of the athletes have been used to make the poster look like a World Cup sticker book. Individual pictures of each hot-hot-hottie are depicted side-by-side, with a final space for one further “sticker” to be collected with an outline of the World Cup showing the missing image awaiting the England team’s victory.

GOT BECKHAM? Yes! After years of waiting, David Beckham has finally shot an ad for the Got Milk? campaign. I am awaiting a copy of the ad and will “share” it with you as soon as I get my paws on it, drool for a while, and then post it. The ad is scheduled to run at the end of August in conjunction with the World Cup.

WAYNE ROONEY GOES TO THE MARKET

The UK-based supermarket chain Asda signed England’s hot bulldog Wayne Rooney to a $5.57M deal less than a month before the little guy broke his foot. An Asda spokesperson said that the injury “did not change the importance of the deal.” Rooney has already starred in his first campaign for the company and “will do some other things as the summer progresses. He’s still very well known, he’s a star player and there’s no change there.” Despite his injury, Rooney is on England’s World Cup roster, which was released yesterday.

SPEAKING OF THE WORLD CUP…we’ve all noticed that the monkey who’s running this country has spread world-wide anti-American sentiment. I can deal with it but not when it affects the safety of our hot athletes. For “security reasons,” the U.S. team’s bus at the World Cup “will be the only one for the 32 teams that will not have the nation’s flag adorning the outside of the vehicle.” Hey Bush, thanks for ruining the fun.

JEREMY BLOOM IS QUIET

Hot Eagles draft pick, sexy Jeremy Bloom has been “declining most interviews since he was drafted.” Icon Sports Group CEO Andy Carroll, who reps Bloom for marketing, said Bloom “doesn’t want to be a distraction” to the Eagles. Carroll said of Bloom’s earnings through endorsements: “seven figures is a fair number.” Bloom has deals with Under Armour, Rip It, 24 Hour Fitness, and others. Carroll said of Bloom’s endorsement opportunities: “My phone has been ringing a lot, but we want to get him in Philly, settled down and make sure his teammates are comfortable with him. … We want to minimize the sideshow effect.” Am I going to have to publish Mr. Carroll’s phone number so we can support the sideshow? After all, what’s an Athlebrity without some off-field love?

RANDY MOSS CANS DANTE DITRAPANO… Randy Moss has canned agent Dante DiTrapano and made Tim DiPiero, of DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, his sole agent. Great idea- stick with the same firm! As you all know, DiTrapano and his wife Teri were busted in March on felony crack cocaine possession charges. DiPiero has represented Moss as an agent and attorney since ’95 and allegedly DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero has “distanced itself” from DiTrapano, “taking his name off the sign outside the Charleston offices and removing his biography, but not his name from its Web site.”

RANDY JOHNSON GETS YANKED AND SPANKED… Crusty Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson “abandoned a legal demand” that his baby mama repay nearly $100,000 in day-care expenses. A Washington state court clerk said that Johnson’s motion seeking the repayment was dismissed after it was laughed out of court.

CUTE NEW BOBBLE HEADS

The Double-A Eastern League Connecticut Defenders, (who?) formerly known as the Norwich Navigators (that doesn’t help) will have a bobble head promotion called the “Rehab Series.” The bobble heads of Andy Pettitte, Bernie Williams, Roger Clemens and David Cone, (all of whom played for the Navigators during their rehabs) “will sport a band-aid in the area where the player’s injury occurred.” Too bad none of these hotties pulled a groin muscle.

DEREK JETER A HOMEBODY?

Super fine Derek Jeter appeared on CBS’ “Late Show” last night where he thanked Letterman for inviting him on the show. Jeter: “You haven’t had me on since we won in 2000. When you start losing, you can’t get back on the show.” Jeter was asked what he does after a night game and said, “Is this currently or like a couple of years ago? … I’m a homebody now.” Not buying it Jeter!

That’s it for now. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
