For those of you whose minds melt upon the sight of a shirtless Cristiano Ronaldo, prepare yourself. The latest Armani commercials have been released, and CR9′s has no shortage of the Real Madrid star parading around topless.

BTW, Do we think his newborn baby is somewhere nearby? Sadly, it probably gets tucked away as often as his favorite t-shirt does…

The mental picture of him frustratedly looking around his hotel room for his baby boy is kinda amusing.

Ridickulous: Ronaldo’s latest Sexcapade!

Ladies’ man and soccer superstud Crisitano Ronaldo embarked on a naughty little tryst with former reality star Jasmine Lennard. Unimpressed, the sexy starlet told all on England’s The Mirror:

“I have an incredibly male approach to sex and this was a game for me. He was a toy and this was a show. I wasn’t ­interested in wooing him or winning his heart. In truth I wasn’t even attracted to him. His shorts were SHORT, his top was TIGHT and the pink colour of both was …just not for me. As soon as he ­encountered my German Shepherd dogs and started screaming and waving his crutches at them in total panic and fear I realised perhaps this wasn’t going to be Mr Right.

“I prefer my men a little rougher round the edges. I don’t like to feel more man than the man I am in bed with. Things went from bad to worse fast. You might well be ­wondering, why did I do it then? The only explanation is that while I wasn’t attracted to him, I enjoyed the fact that he was so taken by me. Some sort of power trip, I suppose. Soon after entering the bedroom, I did indeed catch sight of the REAL Ronaldo. Now, while a lot of women appreciate a well-endowed man, this was just ­RIDICULOUS…intimidatingly so. ‘Oh for God’s sake’, I thought, ‘let’s get this over with’, ­although I wondered how long that would take. Not long was the answer…perhaps he was having an off day!”

Typical Ronaldo… blessed with a God-given gift — and yet, still finds a way to unimpress.

WHA??? Ronaldo a Daddy? USA? USA?

Cristiano Ronaldo It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone to fully respe…ct my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are.

World Cup Superstars: Temper, Temper! (VIDEO)

The World Cup doesn’t always bring out the best in its stars. To show you, FANunited has collected a few of the most notable temper tantrums from this year’s soccer spectacle.

England’s Wayne Rooney was none-to-pleased with either his team’s performance nor the fans’ reaction to an embarrassing tie with Algeria. Here he is walking off the field after the final whistle:

(Speculation of the exact wording can be found here.)

In a similar but more muted moment, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo spits in disgust towards a television camera.

Portugal and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo spoke up for gay rights with Portuguese media outlet Publico.

When asked if he supported his nation’s recent legislation legalizing same-sex marriage, he responded:

“The Portuguese man that I am, I try to keep informed about what is happening in my country. I know the law was passed and the comment it deserves is that we must respect the choices made by anyone…

“Because, after all, all citizens should have the exact same rights and responsibilities.”

Ronaldo’s New “Fat Girl” ???

Filed under: 3) Sex Sells Soccer, Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid

Real Madrid man Cristiano Ronaldo sure has a knack for keeping his name in the news. As if his soccer prowess weren’t enough, he’s been talked about TWICE this week for his luck with the ladies!

First, the news of a Spanish media group paying a woman to hook up with Ronaldo… leading to the now famous quote: “Fat girls suck it better.”

Now, the paparazzi have jumped all over Monday’s lunch date with none other than…

KIM KARDASHIAN!!!

Having famously and recently broken up with NFL star Reggie Bush, the TV starlet is quickly on the prowl. She snagged a hard-to-come-by meal with the soccer star on Monday afternoon at Madrid’s La Dorado… then hopped into her chauffeur-driven Mercedes-Benz G Wagon… and followed his Audi back to his mansion. Rumor has it that she stayed for about 4 hours.

Since an onlooker saw them “kissing” and being “very affectionate,” it doesn’t take much imagination what might have gone on behind closed doors.

OOOOO-WEEEEE!!!

Can anyone tell if he’s wearing those famous Dolce & Gabbana sneaks?
