Remember how the first bird flu, H1N1 (and most recently, H5N1, which caused 300+ deaths over a few years), caused fear and panic… but ended up being basically just a scare that withered away?

Well H7N9 should be feared. It's H1N1's dick of an older brother — the stronger, more volatile older brother! It's one of the most lethal viruses that doctors and medical investigators had faced in recent years, with a death toll already at 22, and the first case has popped up outside of China!

We always knew that David Beckham was a fan of tattoos, so when we saw him showing off his ink that's written in Chinese lettering, we couldn't help but ooh and awe!

The iconic footballer did a meet and greet at Peking University in Beijing, China on Sunday as part as his China tour for his duties as ambassador for the Chinese Super League, and while he was onstage, he not only lifted his shirt so we could see his hawt bod, but he also displayed his torso tattoo.

Beckham's Chinese hanzi script translates to "Life and death are determined by fate, rank and riches decreed by Heaven."

DAYUM! Now that's some food for thought.

We can't help but wonder why David got this tat, but considering that he has rank and riches, we're assuming that he thinks he's one lucky man!

Ch-ch-check out Beckham's ink (above)!

Aww! How unfortunate.

Earlier this month, David Beckham was crowned the ambassador for the Chinese Super League, and because he obviously has to go to China to handle his duties… he visited the Wuhan Zall Football Club on Saturday, and while he was there, he took an embarrassing plunge in front of the team!! Ha!

The footballer was trying to show off his skillz by kicking a soccer ball, but we don't think anyone told him that grass and dress shoes just don't mix.

LOLz

Maybe he should start letting his fashionista wifey, Victoria Beckham dress him for these occasions because plummeting down on camera is just way too funny!

Well, it is for us because apparently over in China no one else thought Beckham's fall was comical.

Which is a good thing — we don't mean that David Beckham went over to China to tour around kicking people in the testicles. That'd be awful!

LOLz!

David arrived in Beijing yesterday, and whole-heartedly accepted the role as “soccer ambassador to China.” He'll be doing a lot, too: from appearing at league matches to local sports clubs, he'll be promoting soccer and all of its benefits to the nation's youth!

This is HUGE news, you guys!!

Did you know that Russia is the second largest tobacco market in the WORLD? China's got them beat, for sure, but being #2 on a list like that is nothing to be proud of!

Well, we'll tell you what IS something to be proud of: Russian lawmakers just backed a law which would ban smoking in bars, cafes and other public spaces to promote healthier living!

Ryan Reynolds was recently at the Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament!

It was held last weekend in Haikou, China.

Must be nice to have all that money and free time to compete in golf tourneys all over the world.

Ryan wasn't the only celeb there too, seeing as how it was a "celebrity pro-am."
