David Beckham Signs with L.A. Galaxy
DAVID BECKHAM, SOCCER STAR: To me, the most important thing is my family. The second thing is the foot -- is the soccer. I'll get used to that at some point. I'm sorry.</s>COOPER: Almost saying football there. It's the latest British invasion, team Becks and Posh rolling into L.A. with a pack of fans and paparazzi in tow. This, of course, is soccer powerhouse David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, the former Spice Girl. I guess they're now reuniting, so it is -- I guess you can still say she's a Spice Girl. She's got fancy new digs. They've got plenty of money to burn. They're Tinseltown's newest power couple. Our Randi Kaye has their story.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Dave Beckham.</s>RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The newest player for the L.A. Galaxy has arrived, straight from Europe, where he led his teams to nearly a dozen championships and became the biggest marketing machine in world soccer. And it's all paid off. Beckham and his wife Victoria, Posh Spice from the Spice Girls, bought this posh pad, a $22 million, 13,000- square-foot Beverly Hills mansion. Paying the bills shouldn't be a problem. Beckham is guarantied $32.5 million over five years with the team and could earn another $200 million plus from endorsements and profit sharing.</s>BECKHAM: We're going to enjoy it, you know. What better (ph) place to live?</s>KAYE: The British-born couple is already being treated like Hollywood royalty: celebrity photographers at the airport, magazine spreads. Move over, Brangelina, Becks and Posh are in town. And fans like these young soccer players are excited. (on camera) Are they, do you think, the next power couple here in America?</s>SHANNON SHIER, SOCCER FAN: I think they're really a good couple.</s>KAYE: Even though he's a soccer star, do you think he'll be a Hollywood star?</s>ERICA MAGANA, SOCCER FAN: I'm not sure.</s>KAYE (voice-over): "Sports Illustrated's" Grant Wahl has written extensively about Beckham. (on camera) Does he see himself as the big celebrity that everybody else sees him as?</s>GRANT WAHL, "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED": Probably not. I mean, I think he enjoys it and he doesn't seem to be too bothered by it.</s>KAYE (voice-over): Apparently not, since the Beckhams are already palling around with A-list stars. (on camera) Come July 21st, when Beckham takes the field as a player for the Galaxy for the first time, his new best friend, actor Tom Cruise, will reportedly be watching. Not from home but from a private box. Becks has apparently turned Cruise into a soccer fan. (voice-over) When Cruise can't make it to Beckham's games, like this one in Madrid, he watches them on</s>TV. WAHL: Tom Cruise is sending text messages to David Beckham after all of his Spanish League games, telling him what a great game it was.</s>KAYE: No doubt, the Beckhams are making friends, putting down roots, maybe even planning a baby?</s>BECKHAM: I'd love a little girl at some point or two little girls at some point. You never know. I've always loved -- and wanted a big family, but we've got three beautiful boys at the moment, and we'll see.</s>KAYE: They named their children after places they've been. So who knows? There might be a Beverly in the future, as in Beverly Hills. Wouldn't the paparazzi love that? Randi Kaye, CNN, Carson, California.</s>COOPER: Well, welcome to America. Our "Shot of the Day" is coming up. Who needs a massage when you have ramen? That's right. The strange new trend in relaxation. You kind of have to -- that's like swimming in soup. Yikes! First -- "The Shot of the Day". That's a little teaser right there, at this time. I think Tom Foreman was in the middle of that. Tom joins us with another "360 Bulletin" -- Tom.</s>FOREMAN: Oh, my. Talk about adding seasoning there. Hi, Anderson. Let's start with nukes in North Korea. Insights (ph) tonight the north might finally be ready to shut down its reactor and scale back its nuclear program. International inspectors will be there in a few hours. So will the first shipment of oil, part of the economic aid package that North Korea will get for scrapping its nuclear weapons plans. The prosecution rested today in the case of one-time alleged dirty bomber Jose Padilla and two co-defendants. He's now charged with far less, of providing material support for al Qaeda. Oscar, meet Felix. Felix, Oscar. The world's tallest man and the guy who claims to be the shortest have now met. One is nearly eight feet tall, the other is two foot something. Don't know how they missed each other, though. They're from the same neck of the woods: Inner Mongolia. Take a look at that. That's a big difference, those guys.</s>COOPER: He's a -- he's a primordial dwarf.</s>FOREMAN: I don't know what that means. But...</s>COOPER: That's -- anyway, Tom, I know you've been working hard tonight. I know that last story confused you.</s>FOREMAN: It did.</s>COOPER: If you're looking for a way to maybe unwind, check out -- check out the Shot of the Day. The latest spa craze, at least we're told in Japan. Ramen. That's right, the stuff we existed on in college, because we couldn't get real food, these people are soaking in it. These noodles apparently are not edible for sanitary reasons, thank goodness. But the broth is the real thing. That is so disgusting. Take a dip. It costs about $30 to soak in the ramen noodle bath. Yes.</s>FOREMAN: But -- but, if you get the soup bath, afterwards they'll -- for the same money they'll rub you down with a sandwich.</s>COOPER: I'm sorry. You know those children ate some of those ramen noodles. I'm sorry. There's no way those kids did not put ramen noodles in their mouth.</s>FOREMAN: There are many long-term effects of this that we don't even want to talk about.</s>COOPER: Do we have -- can we show the picture, Mario? Can we -- can we -- no?</s>FOREMAN: There they are.</s>COOPER: There we go.</s>FOREMAN: Soy sauce. That makes it perfect.</s>COOPER: Oh, yes, yes. It's near her mouth. Almost, I think. Yes. Yes, yes. There's nothing better than stewing in some ramen noodles.</s>FOREMAN: Yes, yes. You know what would be good? Beef barley. A beef barley bath. That would be good. Oh, yes.</s>COOPER: That would be good. Yes, there's a whole host of things. Let's see if it comes here to America. We'll be watching. Toms, thanks very much. Have a good weekend. We want you to send us your "Shot" ideas. If you see people stewing in a vat of anything, take a picture of it, let us know. Send it to us: CNN.com/360. It can be ramen. It can be barley soup. It can be pea soup. That would be attractive. We'll put some of the best clips on the air. Still ahead, keeping business honest. One border state is holding employers accountable, threatening to shut down businesses that hire illegals. Also, a strange casualty in the immigration laws: how a buried secret could get this woman deported from the only country she'd ever known, 360 next.
