Cristiano Ronaldo’s thighs of steel have been insured by Real Madrid for a staggering 100 million euros (or U.S. $144 million).

Real Madrid is attempting to protect themselves in case Cristiano, 24, ever gets seriously injured during a soccer match, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

Ronaldo Injury Hurts Club Finances

While the sum may sound extravagant, the amount realistically quantifies Cristiano’s dollar value to Real Madrid in terms of market and monetary income. In June, Real Madrid shelled out a stunning $131 million transfer fee to acquire the Portuguese international winger from Manchester United. That amount (which was only the transfer fee) does not include Cristiano’s lofty salary of over $18.7 million a year.

The insuring of Ronaldo’s legendary pins comes shortly after Czech footballer Zdenek Grygera delivered a vicious kick to Cristiano’s leg near the knee during a recent friendly.

While Ronaldo was given a clean bill of health by club doctors, the potentially damaging injury underscored the soccer phenom’s huge financial value to Real Madrid. Cristiano’s popularity impacts the club’s advertising contracts, stadium ticket sales and merchandising revenue.

Interestingly, Ronaldo had indicated he was looking forward to playing in Spain because the style of football there was less combative than in England.

“Football in England is different; it is more physical,” said Cristiano. “There are some teams who know they can’t compete with you on a football level, so they just kick you. It’s frustrating and something needs to be done to protect the skillful players, because one day someone will get seriously hurt.”

‘Undisputed Best Player’

Ronaldo, who played with Manchester United from 2003 to 2009, scored a staggering 118 goals for United in 292 appearances. What sets Cristiano apart from other players is his consistency and peak athletic form, said United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

“That’s one of the things [Ronaldo] has above all other players: He was never injured, he always played. He never missed training,” said Ferguson. “His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. He is easily the best player in the world.”

Today is James Hetfield’s birthday! Bellow you can read a small article about him and his song-writing:

Metallica singer James Hetfield writes his best music when he is either in a very good mood or a very bad one.

James Hetfield loves being in a bad mood because it improves his songwriting.

The Metallica frontman says he pens his best tracks when he is either feeling miserable and angry, or incredibly happy and waits to experience one of the mood extremes before he attempts to write new material.

He said: “I’m in a good mood I’m going to write something really great. Or if I’m in a bad mood I’m going to write something really great. Somewhere in the middle, I’ll wait until one of those other emotions happens. Or if I get a really good guitar sound in the tuning room,that will spur on a great riff too”

The group a currently a year into a two-year touring schedule but the rocker insists he still finds the time to create new songs.

He added to BBC Newsbeat: “It’s like a waterfall. Sometimes it’s happening, sometimes it’s not. When we’re on the road, sometimes the ideas are flowing, you can’t really turn it off or turn it on. It’s constantly flowing but at different levels. And most of it has to do with me.”

Tom Fletcher (McFLY) posted a new blog entry at the band’s Official MySpace page, you can read bellow:

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say a late happy new year. Hope you all had a good one. We’re all enjoying a few weeks off with family and on our holidays, getting ready to start writing and recording new songs.

We can’t wait to get Radio:ACTIVE out around the world. We had an awesome time in Brazil last year and we can’t wait to come back. We’re really pleased we’re coming back to Japan too, it’s been a few years since our last visit and we can’t wait to play some shows for you guys.

We really want to get to as many places as possible, we know we have fans all over the world and you’ve been waiting for us to come…believe me, we REALLY want to get out to America and Europe too. We’re trying!

And for all our lovely British fans, working on a load of new songs so it wont be long.

Anyways…bit of a pointless blog but since im the only one who does these things I thought i’d say hi! I’m in America at the mo so I gotta go make the most of the sunshine!

Ciao

Tom

I’ve found an interview with Frankie Sandford where she answers a question about her relationship with Dougie Poynter (McFLY’s bassist), you can read it bellow:

You’re going out with Dougie from McFly. How do his fans treat you?
I was worried they’d give me stick for it but we’ve got a MySpace for the band and for every nasty message I get from McFly fans I get eight nice ones. I went to one of their shows and a lot of people came up to me. I was really nervous about it but everyone was nice. We don’t go out posing for the paps at clubs so I guess we’re not rubbing it in people’s faces. I’m sure that would annoy people.
