"Raise your hands if you'll never have to work a day in your life!"

If you’re unfamiliar with David and Posh Spice Victoria Beckham’s sons, Romeo and Cruz, they’re basically two of the luckiest kids on the planet, because their father is David Beckham, one of the most iconic soccer players of his generation, and Victoria Beckham, who somehow managed to escape a life as Posh Spice of the 1990s assault on music known as the Spice Girls. Seriously, she should be performing concerts for easy listening radio stations at local fairs right now. Instead, she’s a world famous fashion designer and model, and coupled with her husband’s fame and hundreds of millions of dollars, her kids will never have to work a second in their lives.

That is, if you don’t count careers in modeling, acting, professional sports or music as “work”, and you shouldn’t, because for kids like Romeo and Cruz, those are actually just hobbies. Basically, they’re like Will Smith’s wiener kids, but they haven’t tortured us with albums or ruining any classic 80s movies yet. But give them time. They will eventually.

As for now, Romeo Beckham is taking his first step to fame as the new youthful face of Burberry’s kids’ line, which I assume is nothing but $6,000 jackets and scarves. Via GQ, Romeo’s first print ad has been released, as well as a video breaking down his first shoot as a person who gets paid to wear clothes.

Tragic news out of Los Angeles today: a toddler fell from the luxury suites at last night’s Lakers game to his eventual death.

Police Sgt. Frank Alvelais says early Monday that the boy, believed to be 2 or 3 years old, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he died. The boy’s name hasn’t been released.

The boy fell from the third-level top tier of the Staples luxury suites several minutes after the Lakers beat the Warriors 117-89 on Sunday night.

The fall was speculated to be about 50 feet. One report said that the parents of the child didn’t realize that their son was missing before it was too late. I’m sure that nobody will make any sweeping generalizations about the state of “safety” at sporting events. Thoughts and prayers are with that well-off couple that spent all their babysitter money on their luxury suite. No, but really, this is sad.

The Sports Point highlights the NYU student William Lopez who yesterday decided to make the school's graduation ceremony at Yankee Stadium his chance to fulfill Homer Simpson's lifelong wish of running onto the field at a baseball stadium. The most ginger Lopez ever was up to the task, despite wearing nothing but beige boxers and socks under his robe. He took a lap around the bases, before getting tackled by a baseball-savvy security guard who somehow predicted the running route he'd take.

Ignoring warnings to stay off the field, Lopez gave in to a spur of the moment impulse and, wearing just boxers, beige socks and brown laceups under his purple gown, he hopped the fence behind first base and raced across the diamond.

Lopez tagged third, hung on to his cap and chugged down the baseline toward home – cheered on by many classmates. A security guard tackled him before he reached the plate.

Aw. That kinda sucks. Let the kid have his fun, securitydocuhes. Why he's nothing but a…a…oh god no: 

Lopez, who lives off-campus in the Village, is shooting his senior thesis film in New York and then going to Ireland this summer. He is also an aspiring musician who sings and plays the drums for an indie folk rock band called TreeUnion.

According to its MySpace site, the band's focus is on "positivity, environmental and social awareness, peace, love and general silliness." The band is in the midst of recording a debut album called "Happy Moon Man Face."

Fuck, he's the Wavy Gravy for a new generation. Why do all the trigger-happy officers get assigned to the Bronx? And TreeUnion? You wanna broadcast any louder the fact you hump trees?
