Apparently, Cristiano Ronaldo isn't too happy with the latest cover of Vanity Fair, which features him standing next to his rival Didier Drogba. According to a source, "Ronaldo is freaking out. He says he wants to sue Vanity Fair for using his image to promote the issue everywhere… he and his managers insist only they have control of his image and where it can be used."
Yikes! Sounds like somebody had a big bowl of "DIVA" for breakfast! We're not really inclined to get caught up in all of this drama. Honestly? We'd rather just fantasize about Ronaldo and Drogba settling their differences over a bottle of beer. And then fucking one another's brains out.

Sucks for him, unless you own a publishing/marketing/media company then you can’t control the image that people put out there of you.
Ronaldo, you’re wrong. Remember you have been given a gift that kids playing soccer in shanty towns/favelas allover the world would die to have. It’s about the game and what happens on the field. Stop being a diva and focus on the world cup.
if we all thought that way the Cohen Brothers would have been the third company to suck up and steal Disney Productions- it takes nerves of steel to say – NO, UNACCEPTABLE. If the contract we signed is changed, that’s a violation. Terms are to be business, images cannot be copyright exclusively but a person has the right to know the details of every photoshot assignment, and the photoshop input is part of disclosure and honesty. Over the table handshakes. ETC.
So give the man a break, he’s worth having control of his image and how it is used. If it was used in a porn magazine w/o permission then I say sue the bastards.
Integrity to have some control doesn’t stop.
It’s all or nothing in business, sports and love. I see nothing wrong with him having DIVA moment. It get’s the highest respect when you install fear in others that aren’t being fully honest … lawsuits are made on people protecting something, or re-claiming something.
Lest we forget Liberace suing a british tabloid saying he was gay. He won! We are a litigious race of beings – it’s in our nature. Can’t change that or stop wars. They are going to happen until we end them with ending humanity.
I don’t understand how this can be a surprise to anyone who know anything about Princess Ronaldo. The only real surprise is that he didn’t cry.
newsflash ronaldo…there are already images of you photoshopped and posted online that you may want to chase. good luck…
besides, that image on Vanity can only increase your marketing value. it’s a fine pic, footballer. so you should be thanking those heathens…rawwrr…
have you not checked the picture of COLE’s totally (half-)erect cock on page 124? You’ve got to see it!
Drogba would be the top, naturally.
Not because he’s black and hung, but because he is the one that is NOT a bitchy queen.
