'Beckham condoms' in China

The Sun reports: “A Chinese firm is using David Beckham’s name to help sell its condoms. The Beckham contraceptive – not endorsed by him – claims the user will score in the bedroom like David does on the pitch.

The condoms now sell more than any other brand in China which has a population of 1.3billion. But Chinese fans of the LA Galaxy soccer star want them banned. One said: “We do not want Beckham to think the Chinese people are disrespecting him. We love him here.” Beckham’s agent Simon Oliveira said: “It’s not an official brand.”

Justin Timberlake kissed David Beckham's right foot at a sports awards ceremony last night.

The singer joked that he wanted to find out what £125 million tasted like – the fee Becks was paid to move to LA Galaxy. Justin, 27, strolled into the seating area while hosting the ESPY Awards and took David, 33, by surprise when he planted a smacker on his leather shoe.

‘That's what $250million [£125m] tastes like,’ he told the audience.
