Ronaldo to BenQ Mobile: I wanna get paid
Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo has a beef to pick with BenQ Mobile, a sponsor of the Real Madrid soccer team. The problem? BenQ Mobile has filed bankruptcy and Ronaldo wants his, umm, cash. While we're quite sure celebrity endorsements are fine and dandy, perhaps Ronaldo's contract should have stipulated payment up front. Regardless, the European soccer sensation is looking for at least 20 percent of what he agreed to in the BenQ Mobile endorsement contract. With former employees of BenQ Mobile sitting on the bench with owed monies as well, Ronaldo may be waiting a while for his cut.[Via I4U News, thanks to Ali and Number_42 for the corrections]

Jeez...Ronaldo is Brazilian, not Spanish. He played in Real Madrid for a while, and now he's in Italy playing for AC Milan.
Just my two cents.
