Becks on 'Idol gives back'
Update - Today's training report and photos are online here. It's good to see that David Beckham's impressive return to action hasn't aggravated his knee and he continues to train with the team.
According to this mornings Sun David Beckham will be making an appearance on this week's American Idol show 'Idol gives back' in which A-list stars raise awareness about poverty in Africa. Becks has filmed a segment where he teaches children how to take a free kick. The special show will air over two nights, tonight and Wednesday at 7pm central in the US. The second night will be hosted by Ellen Degeneres. For further details of what is planned click here. Check your local listings to see when it airs in your country.Becks is having a busy week on the box it seems! I posted this yesterday but just a reminder that an interview with David Beckham will screen on Sky Sports Revista de la liga tonight at 6.30pm UK time.
A huge thank you to horseheadelmadrid, who made the highlights clip from the Real Madrid v Valencia game I previously posted, as they have very kindly re-made the clip just for David Beckham fans so I have updated the news item "David Beckham highlights" below with this clip.
Update - Here also is a clip of a Real Madrid supporter running onto the field to give Becks his shirt during last Saturday's game. As you can see from this video and photos in the gallery, Becks was very calm and kind towards the 'fan' under difficult circumstances.

Thanks Anna I'm looking forward to seeing him on Revista but I don't know if my fandom runs to forcing myself to watch American Idol perhaps a clip of just his part will surface...

Thanks for the clip! I'd read so much about this shirtless fan it's good to see it and realise it had happened and was over in about 5 seconds literally... I was thinking the guy was on the field for 5 minutes the way people talk!!

The ads here say the "celebrity guests" will only be on the second night. I'm planning to record and fast forward :)
Anna and Syd, good luck in the Champions League today!

Nice to see the team in good spirits. :)
I'm going for Man U and Liverpool for the champions league, I know that if Man U and Chelsea would be good TV but I'm not really a fan of Chelsea.

I watched the whole thing on "Idol gives back", not only was it astounding to watch all the stories on air, but it touched my heart. However, even though I was happy about it, David unfortunately was nowhere to be found as one of the stars. =[ What happened?

Thanks for posting as I was wondering about exactly what got said and aired. Did the Public service announcement with David Beckham not debut during the show at all? The Sun got it a bit wrong saying it was a filmed segment where he is teaching kids how to take a freekick, but there were several press releases yesterday to say that his PSA for 'malaria no more' would debut and it had Becks taking a free kick. Anyway the PSA that was meant to be shown can be seen in the first post.

Yeah there was nothing about David Beckham at all unfortunately. Anyways thanks! I saw the clip and found it hilarious
