David Beckham Scheduled For Olympics Closing Ceremony, Must Be Glad To Be Out Of LA

Yes. We know. This story has been around for two weeks, but if we would have reported this earlier, then all 12 ladies that visit our site would have forgotten to set their TiVo and all hell would have broken loose. We’re looking out for you, mija! So, be ready to see David Beckham’s mug on your Olympic coverage this weekend when Beijing hands over the Olympic flag to London in the symbolic exchange between the present host nation and the future host nation.

The Los Angeles Galaxy player will be joined in the Bird’s Nest stadium by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and London-born singer Leona Lewis as well as dancers from the Royal Opera House and numerous sportsmen and women from previous Olympic Games.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is attending the closing ceremony which will see new London Mayor Boris Johnson receive the flag from his Beijing counterpart, Guo Jinlong.
No details were revealed about the content of the show or exactly what Beckham’s role would be but his appearance is likely to get the biggest cheer of the night.
“He has been passionate about the bid from the early stages, he played a key role in Singapore and he was brought up within a stone’s throw of the Olympic Park in London,” Bill Morris, the London Organising Committee (LOCOG’s) director of ceremonies, told reporters on Friday when confirming the A-list line-up.

Think they’ll pass out those David Beckham condoms during the ceremony? Eee! ¡A la bio, a la bao, a la bim, bom, bá! David Beckham, condoms! David Beckham, condoms! Ra ra ra!
