David Beckham — David Beckham! — has finally arrived in our fair city. (First sailors, and now this guy? It's like Gay Christmas.) The international soccer played for England in yesterday's exhibition game against Colombia (inexplicably held at Giants Stadium) but, more importantly, Beckham is in town to promote his very existence to America.

No promotional tour would be complete without a stop by the Today show, of course, and right now Beckham is outside with some soccer-loving kiddies and Matt Lauer (who earlier noted that Beckham "is a good looking man") to kick some balls. Apparently they didn't trust Katie Couric for this segment.

(Also of interest to some of you: Beckham says that, to his knowledge, there's no Spice Girls reunion in the works — but he does concede that he hasn't talked to his "Posh Spice" wife Victoria in a few days. Verrrrry interesting.)
