^^Whose name was tattooed on her arm?

Later today Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo made history off the pitch, as the first non-US personality to achieve the milestone of 10 million fans or “likes” on Facebook (or indeed on any social network), according to Famecount.com, the social media statistics service. Ronaldo joins an extremely select club of individuals and brands – all US based so far- to have achieved this measure of popularity.

Ronaldo’s fame also makes him by far the most popular sports person on Facebook of any nation, with more than double the fans of Argentinian striker Lionel Messi, the next most popular. This achievement is all the more remarkable for the fact that Ronaldo plays in a sport with little US profile, drawing a fan base largely outside the US. His Facebook fame is another indicator of the widening geographic reach of Facebook – around three quarters of Facebook’s 500 million plus userbase are now outside the US, with this proportion increasing as Facebook grows internationally while approaching saturation in the US.

Hot on Ronaldo’s heels are a number of other international stars likely to make the 10 million milestone within the next few weeks. The lead character from US medical series House, played by UK Star Hugh Laurie is the second most popular international figure. Hugh Laurie also achieves the distinction of representing the most popular fictional character on Facebook of any country. It is no surprise to see Canadian teen sensation Justin Bieber in third, although the presence of less youthful artists – Bob Marley, The Beatles, Pink Floyd is evidence of the widening age range of Facebook users, with almost half users now aged over 30. Austrian energy drink Red Bull is the only brand to make the international top 10, thanks to innovative use of social media across many platforms.

Across Facebook overall, Ronaldo becomes the 18th entity to reach the 10M milestone. Leading the pack overall are popular Facebook game Texas Hold ‘em on over 22 million fans, with the late Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga the most popular individuals. View the full ranking of Facebook stars here.

Daniel Dearlove, founder of Famecount.com commented “Cristiano Ronaldo’s extraordinary popularity across Facebook shows the extent to which the network has reached out beyond it’s US origins. International stars are seeing their profile across Facebook rise as its userbase extends around the world”.

^^For what?

The Goal.com 50 is almost over for another year. But we can't finish until you, the Goal.com community, have had your say.

That's why we now open the floor to you with our Player of the Season vote.

Our editors' Goal.com 50 has already been decided, and now we've taken the top ten players from that list and handed it over to you.

honeric01:
It's the state FAs that are going to be voting, i just don't like the settings

You can't delete your account, just leave it and go away.

^^Cause if I don't, he'll find it very difficult to comprehend.

I had to take it step by step.

^^Some European countries, London for example think "neighbourhood" should be spelled with the "U" but here in the United States it's spelled without the u, it's simply spelled like this "neighborhood"

^^What the heck!

Mukina please take that picture down.

^^Mukina, most countries know it as "Animousity". . .

Why don't you wait until after marriage. . .

Marriage is the best time and period for it.

Angelina Jolie, I have no idea who the other lady is.

debosky:
You are a consummate retard - there is no word spelled 'animousity'. Did you mean to invent a new word?

Two tries yet you failed. . . .let's see if you can get it right after a third try.

Just take my advice and stick to simple words. . . .these complicated ones are simply too much for your little brain.

Warning to Parents: Don't let your kids turn out like mama-gee, supervise their education.

What a dumbass!

I recommend you beg seun to make you a supermoderator so that you'll stick to banning users and deleting messages cause that's what you're good at.

Now, once again I'm being forced to belittle myself one last time.

Animousity: A feeling of resentment and hatred.

Although, some people think the correct spelling is "Animousity" while others think it's "Animosity", it all depends on the country in which you attended college and the way you recognize spellings through their phonetic sound.

It's just like most people spell recognise with the "Z" and others with the "s". even the word "Neighbourhood", some countries spell it as "neighborhood" while others think the correct spelling is "neighbourhood".

Whether you add the "U" or not, it doesn't matter cause anyone can still recognise it except of course your daft arse.

C'mon boy, quit embarassing yourself and run along with what's remaining of your dignity after having your position deactivated and running unclothed all over the streets of North London with a bra over your head.

I'm sick of creating attention for an infamous reason on the nairaland board. . .seun is probably laughing his butt off

Efe Ekarume:
Every blessed time a visitor leaves the house, I and my brother would smell the chair they sat on before to check whether they had messed. And God bless the visitor if he had farted. We would singout slowly ' Fu Fu they don mess'

Oh my gosh. . .this got me cracking up.

You and your brother must have been disgusting, naughty teens.

Princessty:
thnxs ure very nice and pretty no homo there

Thanks. . .

nellaluv:
Aki n' Pawpaw

How are they annoying?

I personally think they are not annoying but the movie directors make them play annoying roles.

Childish roles like playing a prank can be annoying knowing the fact that they are men not children.

Princessty:
Who THe Hell Is OmoBABA

I think he's a comedian or something like that.

nellaluv:
Finest boy in town

Sounds more like a pun intended statement.

^^What disease did you catch?

Tell me, I'll diagnose it as soon as possible.

Planning on eating Noodles tonight.

^^Mukina, how are you doing?

Who do you think would win the friendly match between USA vs Brazil?

puskin:
. . . .another fucc-ing story. . . . . .mMm??

What else do you expect from the Nigerian actresses?

Bayern Munich are expecting to comfortably exceed their previous revenue record with a €350 million turnover during the fiscal year of 2009-10.

"We are still working on the financial statements. But we can assume that we have, for the first time, broken the €300m barrier," CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told business magazine 'Focus Money'.

"We are calculating the consolidated revenues of the Allianz Arena, which will be around €350m."

Bayern's previous sales record was €286.8m, earned during the 2007-08 season. The club is expected to be in the 'black' for a 16th consecutive year.

Rummenigge hailed his team's financial stability in last year's uncertain market: "Frankly, we had no crisis."

Accordingly, the reigning German champions are expected to be among Europe's most profitable clubs of the 2009-10 season, with only Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona expected to exceed their revenue

STACYM:
There is no big deal if the man or boy cook, [size=25pt]is not a woman thing only[/size] , so guys be warned. As a matter of fact, my husband cooks for the family. So loving!!! Try ittttt jaree

Don't be confused, cooking is a womanly thing but a woman shouldn't be the only one to cook.

Men should also learn how to cook as well that's why boys are given homec classes in schools today.

Even boys/men should help out in sewing clothes and washing dishes.

^^Who are the star players that you can't wait to see tonight in the friendly?

I can't wait to see robinho and Fabiano. . .they are simply great.

So, who is the most friendly Nairalander in your opinion?

I personally think Gabry is friendly.

According to the report, Barrino was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville around 8:55 PM , the report says her condition was not life-threatening.

According to the report, it's unclear whether the OD was intentional or accidental.

As we previously reported -- Barrino was recently accused of making a sex tape with a married man and destroying his marriage.

Barrino has claimed she is "not responsible" for the deterioration of the marriage.

Syenite:
So who should be in the team? You?
As far as the FIFA MRI scan is concerned Chukwudi is 18yrs old. Period!Mama-gee, I think we need to clear the dust for you. THE FLYING EAGLES TEAM IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SUPEREAGLES.

Players 17yrs and under form the Golden Eaglets team
Players 20yrs and under form the Flying Eagles team
Players 23yrs and under form the Olympic Team
The most senior national team are the Super Eagles.

Hope that helped?

[color=deeppink]Thanks brother, I'm fully cleared.

The Nigerian Football association wouldn't come up with names for a team if it doesn't end with "Eagles"

I was a bit confused.[/color]

Syenite:
It's quite obvious that the only tournament she's watched so far is just the last WC cos all her comments have shown that. I am sure she will soon mistake the Super Falcons for the Super Eagles.

[color=deeppink]Don't blame me. . .Here in the U.S. we hardly watch football except the World Cup.

That's why I plan on moving to England.[/color]
