The Beckhams Go West - To L.A.

Watch out Hollywood! The Beckham Brand is about to hit town. David Beckham has signed a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer, to start when he leaves Real Madrid.

"I am proud to have played for two of the biggest clubs in football and I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world's most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own," he said in a statement released Today.

As we predicted at Rank & Bile David will also be teaching soccer skills to the kids of the Hollywood elite and the first pupil on his books is none other than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s adopted son Maddox. The footy-mad five-year-old has already enrolled at the David Beckham Soccer Academy in Los Angeles, and now Pitt, 42, wants the ex-England captain to give Cambodian-born Maddox some one-on-one coaching.

Hmm I’m sure David and Victoria were rather hoping to be invited to The Pitt’s house as guests rather than the hired help!
