"Victoria and I are excited to be involved with Sport Relief again this year. Our family had a great time designing the t-shirt range, and we hope it will raise much needed funds for many important causes. The most important thing is that the money raised will make a genuine difference to people's lives,%u201D David Bechham said in a statement.

Other celebrities involved in the charity include Little Britain star David Walliams, who is taking part in a 875-mile bike ride across the U.K. in March. The trip will lead from the northern village of John O' Groats in Scotland to the southern tip of Cornwall, England, known as Land's End. Last year British comedian Eddie Izzard raised more than $300,000 for running 1,100 miles across the U.K. in 51 days over the summer.

Italian Reporter Tries Publicity Stunt

A female Italian reporter wearing yellow gloves attempted to grab David Beckham's genitals in a shocking publicity stunt. Elena Di Cioccio of Italian TV show Le lene (The Hyenas) ambushed the soccer star outside a restaurant in Milan, Italy. This incident happened while photographs were being taken by other members of the press.

"We have seen fascinating photographs of David Beckham in his underpants," Di Cioccio told her viewers, referencing his famous underwear advertisements. The reporter says that Beckham was "seemingly very well endowed and even his wife says that he is well equipped... we wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the pictures suggest, or if they were touched up."

As Beckham gave an interview to other reporters, Di Cioccio snuck past the camera crew, and attempted to grab his privates. The star gave the reporter a stone-faced look before his security hustled him back to a hotel. They also dragged Di Cioccio away from the area.
