Child endangerment charges: As David Beckham was confronted by a Paparazzo for Leaving his son 'Crus' One Hour in Car

David Beckham was confronted by a paparazzo on Thursday, July 17, for leaving his 9-year-old son Cruz in the car when he was taking an exercise class in Los Angeles. Beckham reportedly left his son in the front passenger seat for over an hour.

When he returned, a paparazzo accused Becks of leaving his son "unattended," shouting, "Is that a good idea to leave the kids in the car like that?" "The car's on," Beckham replied, "The air conditioning's on."

A photographer on the scene told X17online, "No one could believe what Beckham was doing. Some guys even stopped taking pictures and were just standing there, shocked." It was 87 degrees in Los Angeles on Thursday and the paparazzi outside the car reported they saw no adult supervising the kid.

The photographer added, "David was the only man in the class, so of course all the ladies showed up during his time slot. No one seemed to mention the fact that his kids were sitting in the car out front, and one of them even defended David when we asked about it!"

Beckham denied the accusation that he left his child alone. A representative for the soccer star told ET, "It is complete lunacy to insinuate David would leave his kids in the car like that. There was a nanny and air conditioning." The rep continued, "You have to be very wary of paparazzi making these assertions to create a story when there isn't one."

Legal experts commented that the matter could still be investigated further, along with the alleged photographic evidence. "David could shortly find himself in court facing child endangerment charges," trial attorney Davie Wohl explained, "Even though he left the car's air conditioning on, the kids could have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning or, if one of them managed to get the car in gear, they could have been seriously injured."

Fabregas never wanted to rejoin Arsenal- Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claims Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas did not want to rejoin Arsenal before he made his move from Barcelona to Stamford Bridge last month.
Reports have suggested that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger opted not to take up the option to re-sign his former captain Fabregas when he was made available by the Catalan club. But Mourinho offered up a different version of events on one of the big transfers of the summer.
"I spoke with him for 20 minutes," said Mourinho of Fabregas while speaking at a BT Sport event in London. "I think he really wanted to come to us.
"As you know, Arsenal had an option to interfere, but I think he was not open for that. I think he was very much in our direction, so it was an easy job for me."
Meanwhile, Mourinho has suggested Chelsea's transfer business for this summer's window concluded when they sealed the deal to sign Brazilian full-back Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid on Friday.
"I have to say my club did a fantastic job, and not just because of what we brought, but because we did it in almost record time," he added, as Luis joined Fabregas and Diego Costa as the Blues' three summer captures.
"The transfer market closes August 31, and we close our market on July 19. We finished the market today. The club did fantastic. We knew the targets, we knew the players and the club attacked them and their clubs at a very early stage."
Mourinho went on to suggest the upcoming Premier League title race is shaping up to be the most open in memory, as he claims five teams will battle it out for the big prize.
"Why I like the Premier League so much is that, at this moment, nobody knows who is going to win the title," he added. "I know that we want to and I know that we can, but it is the kind of competition where I can't say.
"At this moment, I think between us, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man United, Man City -- who is going to be first, who is going to play in the Europa League, I don't know.
"There were good teams last season, and there will be better teams this season because everyone is investing. If you make a team to be champions, then you have a big chance to finish in the top four."

Jay-Z got emotional when he penned his verses for Young Jeezy's song "Seen It All"

Jeezy made the revelation, telling MTV that his collaborator said he shed tears as he wrote lines based on his past as a drug dealer.

"We got on the phone and [Jay] was like, 'Yo, Jeezy, when I was writing the verse I had tears in my eyes, man,' because it took him so far back to Marcy," Jeezy recalled having a phone conversation with Hova. "Every bar in that song was real - I put my hand on the bible."

"Seen It All" was produced by Cardo and was originally planned to be featured in Jay-Z's chart-topping album "Magna Carta... Holy Grail". The song then ended up becoming the title track of Jeezy's upcoming album which is scheduled to come out on September 2.

"This is gonna be your bible, this is gonna be your manual," Jeezy recently revealed what to expect from the new LP in an interview. "I'm not gonna tell you that everything gonna be okay, that everything's gonna be alright, but the moral to the story is never quit, never let up. A win is a win. That's what this album is about."

Divine Intervention: As Selena Gomez urge her Fans to Pray for Gaza

While one celebrity is trying to be indifferent about the whole scenario another isn't.
Selena Gomez hopes her 11 million followers on Instagram will join her to pray for people in Gaza. On Friday, July 19, the "Come & Get It" singer took to the photo-sharing site to share an image of a message which read, "It's About Humanity. Pray for Gaza."

"Please pray for those families and babies today," the "Spring Breakers" star urged her fans in a caption for the photo. "Please always remember what's important in life. It's not any of this. We are here to help, inspire and love. Be that change. #wearethenextgeneration."

Some fans echoed her sentiment in the comment section. "Thanks for not being afraid to speak the truth! You are amazing.... This has nothing to do with religion but everything to do with being human and having a heart!" one person wrote. "Much respect and love," another fan added.

Prior to Gomez, Rihanna showed her support to bring peace in the area which is now heated with conflicts. The "Umbrella" singer posted a tweet which read "#FreePalestine" but then deleted it. Later, she shared a photo of an Israeli and a Palestinian boy with their arm on other's shoulder. She wrote, "Let's pray for peace and a swift end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict! Is there any hope?"

Number of Best AIDS Researchers in the World Died on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17

Numerous AIDS researchers, health workers and activists were onboard the Malaysia Airlines flight that was shot down over Ukraine. They were on their way to the 20th International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia, which starts on Sunday.

Among those passengers was Joep Lange, who had worked on HIV research since 1983. He was a professor of medicine at the University of Amsterdam, where he also served as the head of the global health department. His partner Jacqueline was also killed in the crash.

Lange was a driving force behind numerous antiretroviral therapy trials, including important work with mother-to-child transmission of HIV. He advocated for making medications available in the developing world, and was president of the International AIDS Society from 2002 to 2004.
Lange was also one of many researchers responsible for a major innovation in AIDS research: the development of the HIV antigen test, an early attempt at measuring the amount of virus in the human bloodstream. "Lange started his career examining how best to measure, and therefore predict, disease progression and response to treatment," writes Ken Sepkowitz. "Within a decade, his approach led to the routine measurement of the HIV 'viral load,' a test performed as routinely as a cholesterol HDL to both diagnose infection and monitor treatment response."

The reaction in Lange’s field was swift. One American HIV researcher told Vox that Lange was a visionary amongst HIV researchers ... He was acutely aware of the multiple dimensions of HIV spanning science to society and had a heart of gold. This is a huge loss for the field.”

Others took to Twitter with their condolences.

Glenn Thomas, a spokesman for the World Health Organization and a former journalist, was also among the victims. "His twin sister says he died doing what he loved,” a WHO statement said.

Martine de Schutter, another Stop AIDS Now! member, was also believed to have been on the plane. “It is incomprehensible that they’re no longer here,” Stop AIDS Now! Executive Director Louise van Deth told the Washington Post. “It is a heavy blow that people who have been so active for so long in the fight against AIDS have been wiped out.”

While original reports put the number of lost conference delegates on Flight MH17 at 108, nearly a third of the plane’s passengers, conference organizers have only confirmed seven deaths.

Seven is still too many, of course, and the loss of life is staggering no matter where passengers were going. 

The conference will continue, organizers said, "in recognition of our colleagues' dedication to the fight against HIV/AIDS." Family and friends of other victims will continue to mourn in their own ways.
