It's the oddest pairing since Liza Minnelli and David Gest got married in 2002: Michael Jackson's father Joe and soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo are now teaming up to sell grills.
Joe Jackson tells TMZ he's got a stake in a company called GAME ON PRODUCTS and is preparing to peddle soccer ball grills during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Joe says he's flying out to meet Ronaldo at the beginning of December, when the odd couple will shoot TV, magazine and Internet advertisements for the "Goalie Grill."
So, in conclusion: If you've been looking for a BBQ shaped like a soccer ball and endorsed by a world famous athlete and the father of Michael Jackson ... this is the one for you!

David Beckham didn't grab the mechanical bull by the horns -- but dude definitely appreciated the busty, jiggling ladies who did last night at the Saddle Ranch.
Some guys just like to watch.

Impeccably groomed soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo has finally found a way to carry around all his pomades, gels, lotions, balms, tweezers, flat-irons, tanning butters and oils ... a Gucci murse.
The fierce 24-year-old gives new meaning to the term ladies' man.

Proof David Beckham is losing his Euro-flair:
-- New York Yankees ball cap
-- American flag themed towel
-- non-mankini bathing equipment
Beckham was in Malibu yesterday, doing what he does best ... not scoring goals for the
Galaxy.

David Beckham only said two words to us yesterday at Dulles International -- and with that voice, we wouldn't want it any other way.
So, we've gotta ask...

After today's "friendly" match against Dortmund, Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid showed off his ripped physique when he swapped jerseys with Yasin Oeztekin after the game.
Anyone else want to get "friendly" with Cristiano?

This might be the greatest piece of video we have ever shot! WATCH THIS!
"The Diesel" is looking to run right over David Beckham -- 'cause last night Shaquille O'Neal was trash talking like crazy, calling out the "scared" Galaxy star for refusing to accept his one-on-one soccer challenge.
Quick recap: Shaq threw down the gauntlet on Becks, via Twitter, saying "u will never score a goal on me, I challenge you lil man." David responded by deflecting attention, telling press "I don't see him calling Kobe out ... I think Kobe could score against him."
But last night at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, Shaq took the smack talk to another level -- saying to Beckham, "There's no way you'd score on me ... how many goals did you score for the Galaxy?"
Shaq didn't just entertain our photog, dude shook hands and posed with every single fan who approached him ... and for the record, we've never seen Beckham do that.

The strangest thing about this photo isn't that Garth Brooks flipped the coin toss into his own face at a soccer game this weekend -- it's the fact that Garth Brooks was at a soccer game this weekend!!
That expression is the most embarrassing thing to happen to Brooks since Chris Gaines.

In perhaps the most meaningless punishment in the history of sports, Major League Soccer has decided to fine David Beckham $1,000 for challenging some L.A. Galaxy fans to a fight during a game last week.
For the record, $1,000 to David Beckham is like 14 cents to the rest of the players on his team.
If you recall, Beckham -- a member of the L.A. Galaxy -- got all testy during the game when Galaxy fans booed the crap out of him in his home stadium.
After the incident, Beckham said he had no intention of apologizing -- meanwhile, Galaxy fans have no intention of ever cheering for him again.

A.C. Milan player Daniele Bonera and some guy who's probably his trainer hit up the jacuzzi for some male bonding after Sunday's game against the L.A. Galaxy.
FYI -- Bonera is one of the top defenders in the league ... obviously not in the hot tub.

If David Beckham wanted to get ticked off Galaxy fans back on his side, challenging them to a fight probably wasn't the best way to go about it.
At yesterday's home match against Milan, L.A. fans booed every time Beckham got the ball -- and eventually David couldn't take it anymore. He started taunting the crowd and had to be held back by security from seriously getting into it with one fan who jumped from the bleachers to throw down.
The best way to keep everyone happy -- just keep taking off that shirt.

Posh's hubby showed off his smooth, tatted up figure yesterday after the L.A. Galaxy defeated the New York Red Bulls 3-1.
So long as he keeps taking his shirt off, everyone wins.

Cristiano Ronaldo was manhandled this weekend in Vegas -- and this time, it wasn't by Paris Hilton.
We're guessing the guy giving Euro Greasy a leg massage at the Palms Place Hotel and Spa pool was a personal trainer, but we could easily find quite a few ladies who wouldn't mind doing the job ... for free.

There's a damn good reason Cristiano Ronaldo decided to hit the Hollywood nightclubs last night -- dude just became the the focal point of a $130 million European soccer deal!!
TMZ cameras caught Ronaldo and his 13-man entourage leaving club MyHouse last night -- hours after his current squad, Manchester United, accepted a world-record sized deal to sell him to Real Madrid.
It's unclear exactly how much Ronaldo will pocket from the deal -- but it's sure to buy a helluva lot of Ed Hardy.

Move over Beckham and Cristiano, there's a new buff shirtless futbol stud taking over America ... German national soccer team captain Michael Ballack.
The married 32-year-old showed off his hairless bod while at the beach in Miami today.
Yes folks, we said married!
