David Beckham played a charity soccer game to benefit the victims of the California wildfires -- and the competition was stiff!

The game raised more than $90,000, with Becks scoring two goals and three assists against Anthony LaPaglia's celeb-filled team "Hollywood United."

Ron Jeremy, 54-years-old and growing more portly each day, still manages to score with twenty-something chicks. For those unfamiliar, the term commonly associated with a male "cougar" is a "dingo."
TMZ spotted "The Hedgehog" last night at Les Deux, where the star of "Anal Princess Diaries 2" and "The Texas Dildo Masquerade" was flirting with a group of females -- with one lucky 26-year-old hanging on and giving the porn star a few pecks on the cheek.
"Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh was out with fiancee Courtney Ford at Il Sole, where he said another "Superman" flick is definitely happening. Also getting some Sole food; comedian George Carlin, who didn't want to be seen looking like "a bum."
Also spotted: Kelly Clarkson, David Spade and Mark McGrath at Koi -- and a generous Cris Judd (remember him, J.Lo?) in today's kiss-my-Kryptonite edition of Star Catcher.

For a guy who says he hates cameras, Tyrese sure seems to find the spotlight a lot.
TMZ cameras were at the Video Game Awards in Hollywood this weekend when we ran into Tyrese, who showed us a lotta love. Last time we were face to face with this hotshot, he shouted at our cameras, "Stop f***in' filming me, man." This time he made sure to get in our good graces.
Also at the event were stunning Rachael Leigh Cook, funny guy Seth Green, and The Man of Steel -- Brandon Routh.
Jessica Biel and Wilmer Valderrama showed up looking as sleek as ever for the Breakthrough Awards. Joining them were "Dreamgirls" star Jennifer Hudson, Justin Long (you know, the Mac commercial guy), and Jared Leto.
Wrapping this edition of Star Catcher: 50 Cent and Samuel L. Jackson gave photogs just enough time to snap some quick shots.
For this and more on your favorite celebs, check out today's Star Catcher.

While promoting their film in Europe, Brandon Routh and the cast of "Superman Returns" have been bombarded with questions about another summer blockbuster, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."
With "Pirates" breaking records it's opening weekend and "Superman" fighting to break even, the comparisons came as no surprise and the cast was certainly prepared for the line of questions.
Kate Bosworth, who plays Lois Lane in the flick, laughed off rumors of competition with boyfriend (and "Pirates" star) Orlando Bloom. "It's like the only thing that we talk about. Come home everyday, come home from work and talk about the box office," she joked, "It's so not a part of our consciousness, we are equally supportive of each other."
Of course, if the Man of Steel and Captain Jack Sparrow were to meet face to face, it'd probably be the latter who would make a run for it faster than a speeding bullet ... with a bottle of rum, of course.

Imagine a world where "Entourage's" fake "Aquaman" movie really existed ...
After the record-breaking performance of "Aquaman," another superhero movie is set to open and try to steal away the box office crown. With June 28 right around the corner, does "Superman" have what it takes to dethrone "Aquaman"?
Box office pundits were surprised when "Aquaman" broke the record for the biggest opening weekend ever -- with $116,844,114 -- besting the 2002 opening of "Spider-Man" by $2 million.
For director James Cameron, "Aquaman" marked his biggest opening weekend by far. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" took in $31.7 million during its first three days, while "Titanic" only took in $28.6 million. "Titanic," of course, went on to be the highest-grossing movie of all time ($600.7 million).

He can stop bullets, but not even Superman can stop Cupid's arrow.
Brandon Routh has been with his girlfriend, actress Courtney Ford, for two and a half years. The happy couple arrived at the "Superman Returns" premiere together and were inseparable.
While Brandon's career is flying high, Courtney insists the action star hasn't changed at all. In fact, Courtney describes the relationship as "kinda boring."
Boring or not, this hot couple will be gracing more red carpets in the future. The "Superman Returns" buzz is at a fever pitch and it's only a matter of time before another Superman sequel is in the works.

This years most anticipated summer blockbuster brings the ultimate superhero back from a mysterious absence of a few years. Superman's comeback is bittersweet as he learns that love of his life Lois Lane has moved on with her life and has a new family. To make matters worse, Lex Luthor, played by a freshly shaved Kevin Spacey, is back to his old tricks.
The film stars newcomer Brandon Routh in the role that made Christopher Reeves famous and super-hottie Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane.
"Superman Returns" flies onto screens July 28th.

On June 28, the world will finally get a good look at perhaps the most anticipated movie hero of the decade. Yes, in just a few short weeks, 'Superman Returns.' Brandon Routh, who plays the dreamy alien hero (as well as his bumbling alter-ego, Clark Kent) has a lot to live up to. Few actors were as beloved as Christopher Reeve, who donned the red cape 25 years ago.
But Brandon has some friends in his corner, including Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth, who play Lex Luthor and Lois Lane, respectively. Spacey says, "He embodies what people want out of their Superman."
Bosworth says that after her audition with Routh that she didn't care if she got the role or not, but that "it's going to be such a great film, and you're gonna be great. You really are."
All of that praise doesn't seem to have gone to Brandon Routh's head. Maybe in addition to resembling Christopher in his face, physique and even voice, Brandon also has a bit of the famous Reeve modesty as well.

'Superman Returns' stars Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth hit Kitson, a hot spot in Beverly Hills, to help promote a charity event.
In honor of the late and original Superman, Christopher Reeve, Kitson is selling autographed dolls of the super hero and his fictional wife, Lois Lane, to raise money for spinal cord injury treatment. All proceeds go to the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
At the exclusive launching of the charity event, Routh spoke about the movie, which is set to hit theaters June 30th.

TMZ unearthed an exclusive photograph of hunky Brandon Routh when he was the swim team captain at Norwalk High School in Iowa.

Athletic Brandon -- whose known as 'BJ' to his family and friends -- beat out big names like Ashton Kutcher, Josh Hartnett and Nicolas Cage, to star in the new $100 million blockbuster 'Superman Returns.'
"BJ's thrilled to be picked to play Superman and I know he's up to the task of taking over from Christopher Reeve. My son is very comfortable in his own skin and he's up for the role of a lifetime," his father tells TMZ.
The 6'2" actor was raised in a modest home by his carpenter father Ron and school-teacher mom Katie with his two sisters and brother. Brandon's former drama teacher, Margo Murillo, knew his calling after his first school play. "Brandon is a naturally gifted actor," she says. "During our production of the Neil Simon play, 'Plaza Suite,' he brought the house down with his performance."
"He's not the kind of guy to go out partying every night but he has a good sense of humor," Murillo added. "One time he had the whole school in stitches after he dressed-up as a hunky male stripper to surprise a teacher."
Routh has had bit parts on 'The Gilmore Girls,' 'Will & Grace' and 'Cold Case.' His attention grabbing break came when Christina Aguilera hand-picked him for her video to the smash hit 'What A Girl Wants.'
Warner Brothers' 'Superman Returns' director Bryan Singer wanted an unknown actor for the part and when the Iowa native walked into their casting office they immediately knew they had their man.
Routh will be the second Iowa-born actor to play the Man Of Steel. George Reeves -- who played the superhero on television in the 1950's -- was also from the 'Hawkeye' State. Reeves was found shot dead in a mysterious suicide at his Hollywood home on June 19, 1959. He was 45.
In another bizarre twist, Routh celebrated his 25th birthday on the day that Christopher Reeve slipped into his coma before passing away the following day.
