Video/Photos: Cristiano Ronaldo dresses up as a homeless man & pranks Madrid with his football skills
The homeless man walking with that dog is the world's best and one of the richest footballers - Cristiano Ronaldo - but as he walked on the streets of Madrid over the weekend, nobody paid him any attention - because nobody knew it was him. He was disguised in fake beard, hair and fat suit.
He took to the streets of Madrid and showed off some of his football skills. Occasionally, passers-by will stop to watch his impressive football skills, especially when he replicates Ronaldo's trade-mark step-overs, but no one knew it was Ronaldo himself. Then he reveals himself. What follows is sweet.

Chris Brown fights back, says he's a good Dad
Nia has filed a request to get full custody of Royalty, limiting Chris’ interaction with his daughter to only supervised visits.
Chris is planning to file an opposition to Nia’s request. He’s devastated that Nia has been keeping him away from little Royalty, and the fact that she’s been spreading rumors about him being a terrible father is just hurting him more.
Chris has plenty of evidence on his side to counter Nia’s claims. Firstly, he is going to argue that he neverputs Royalty in a dangerous situation; he’s even surrounded his home with a massive 24-hour security team for extra protection after burglary scares.
To further establish his stability and responsibility as a great dad, Chris will argue that he’s never done drugs around his child, or put her in the company of anyone that Nia has deemed “untrustworthy.” She apparently believes many of his friends have substance abuse issues
