Do smiley faces really make a Safe For Work alternative to female nipples? Looks that way...

The boobs belong to attention-seeking skank Catherine Leah Spencer, an American chicita who decided to flash her wares too much tequila, Catherine?

Lionel Messi and his girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo spent his time off dining at fine restaurants, swimming with dolphins, watching him play in charity matches, and oh yeah and then there was the bikini face off at the beach. Messi needs to work on that tan a little but Antonella is doing just fine in that department.

spotted at First Team Football

Lionel Messi enjoyed a night out to dinner with girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo in Brazil where he spending time prior to playing in a charity match. Messi was at a barbecue restaurant in Barra da Tijuca, in the western area of Rio near the River . He looks a bit out of sorts after the World Cup I am sure he is extremely disappointed after Argentina had such a great start in the group matches.

ASN spent Saturday afternoon at the brand new Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. The purpose of the visit was threefold: 1. To see the arena before it opened, 2. To photograph it for our readers and 3. To do our part in supporting Seth Stammler's Sporting Chance Foundation charity. (We aren't the only news organization doing this.

Rub-a-dub-dub only two men in a tub? Calm down, it's not what you think. David Beckham is in a bath tub with some guy, but it's for charity. I swear. Beck's is taking part in a skit for Sports Relief in the UK.

What a lovely Monday present the Wolverhampton Wanderers have generously given us. First-teamers George Elokobi and Kevin Doyle have dropped trou in support of the Everyman charity the UK's leading prostate and testicular cancer campaign.

While sickness is definitely icky, nudity is definitely not.

Lionel Messi is currently in Rio to play a charity match for ex-teammate Deco's academy. He is there with on again, off again girlfriend / fiancee Antonella Roccuzzo. It was rumored that they were going to wed at the end of 2010 but lately it hasn't looked so good on the home front. In these pictures she does not look very happy.

For some reason the news of Barcelona's debt has hit me harder than expected. Not because I'm a Barcelona fan. I'm not. But because I was enjoying admiring the example they were setting to the rest of European football. Homegrown players? Check. Pretty passing football? Check. Unicef charity logo instead of some sort of gambling or alcohol sponsor on the shirt?

Bolton big man Kevin Davies and his wifey hit up the Panto's On Strike show at the Opera House in Manchester Tuesday night. Kev's looking quite fetching these days, no? Make sure you follow him on Twitter and check out his Kids of Bolton charity.

Every year before the Monaco Grand Prix, F1 drivers swap racing overalls for football kits, to play in a charity match in Monaco's Stade Louis II. Pies was there to capture the action:

Not only has Chris Pontius scored an amazing hat trick this season against the Seattle Sounders, he also knows how to give back. The DC United player is contributing his time to Habitat for Humanity.

No, it's not a red-carpet tribute to the cartoon deer with the Gourcuff lashes. (Though how cool would that be?) Sylvie van der Vaart was out at the Tribute to Bambi charity gala in Berlin, which raises awareness for charitable institutions and associations that do not receive any state aid.

In a new compilation, 40 Premier League players and managers have showcased their artistic chops in a collection to be auctioned off for charity. Players were asked to sign and draw a self-portrait. So well produced and artistically executed, well, it's comparable to the coloring book of a class of 5 year-olds.

Lionel Messi is hopping from country to country and charity match to charity match, today turning up in Brazil to participate in the goodwill game organized by none other than ex-Barca hottie, Deco. Lio played on Deco's side against a 'rest of the world' team, coming off ten minutes into the second half of the match that finally ended at 3-3.

Last night, rookie striker Teal Bunbury took part in a bachelor auction for the American Cancer Society. He raked in $500 for the charity and made some women excited in the process.Warning: If you don't like dudes without shirts on, don't watch.

Barcelona's famous shirt, sans sponsor's logo until now

Barcelona have signed the most lucrative shirt sponsorship deal in football history, with the Qatar Foundation (a non-profiit organisation founded by the Emir of Qatar in 1995).

Jermain vowed to read his invitations a little more carefully next time. Mixing up the dates of a charity Christmas party at Downing Street and the ‘Lady Gaga' themed Spurs Xmas bash was bad enough. But in front of the Chancellor of the Exchequer? He was going to have to think fast.

In mid-March, Owen Hargreaves and some of his Manchester United teammates lent their celebrity services in the name of charity.

Hargo was on hand to help launch Kickz, a Football Foundation scheme aiming to reduce crime by engaging young people in sports projects. He looked subtly sweet against the sea of shellacked makeup and shredded leggings.

The Saturdays perform before the United Relief Live match at Old Trafford

Girl group The Saturdays provided the eye candy if not the ear candy at United Relief on Saturday.

When Steven Giordano said he wanted to set a Guinness World Record by playing the longest soccer match in history, everybody used the word "crazy."
Everyone, that is, except girlfriend Anna Schiller.
"I thought he was insane," Schiller says.
Insanity has turned into reality (and charity), as 2008 Syosset High School graduate Giordano will captain one team that will play at Stillwell Fields from Aug.

Believe it or not this photo has nothing to do with a certain FC Dallas keeper forming a posse to round up that Frenchman up there in New York City. Nor does it have anything to do with the NRA, the PBR, CMT or seeing the bottom of the tattoo that is peeking out over his associate's gun belt.

He caught a purple ball thrown at him from a height of 105 metres.Gavin Henson and David Seaman entered the record books today as they both caught a ball travelling at terminal velocity above Wembley National Stadium, London.

Some highlights from the 'Champions for Africa' charity match organised by UNICEF.

John Terry has always been one of footballs bad boys. No matter how hard he tries to be good, he always seems to screw up. In the past year, he came under fire for allegedly selling Chelsea tours to support his charity. Now, the papers are saying how he knocked up Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend. Should this man be England's leader?

Pepsi & Akon have released a single for the World Cup a single which may or may not be the official song via conflicting reports and the proceeds will go entirely to charity. The track also features Keri Hilson, the Soweto Gospel Choir and "16 other musicians" apparently not quite yet noteworthy.

Europe Rangers star in bid to help Haiti school -- from The Evening Times' Sarah Swan and Deborah Anderson: The charity has already raised £15,000 for the relief effort but the night aims to raise another £10,000 to rebuild the school. Ashley Cole's injury will test Fabio Capello's tenet about reputation -- from The Guardian's Richard Williams: None of them, however, has anything like the combination of experience and dynamism that characterises Cole's work.

Nice idea I saw via the England Team wesbite, run by the charity Keep Your On The Ball, who raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer.

The odea is that age old one you have to pick your all time England XI. But there are a couple of caveats. First off it has to be someone who represented England at the World Cup (seemingly since 1966, so erm not really All Time then), and second if you want to win Gordon Banks shirt, you have to pick the same starting XI as Terry Venables, who has picked a special secret XI (revealing only Banks in goal).

Six Treble-winning heroes will grace Old Trafford on Saturday 1 May 2010, to play in a charity match for Sport Relief and MU Foundation.

Thierry Henry has already broken Irish hearts after his infamous handball incident which denied the Republic their chance of travelling to this Summer's Finals in South Africa, but now he seems to have angered RTE Star Marian Finucane who is involved with the Friends in Ireland Charity.
