King Berbatov??

What a brilliant performance by hat-trick hero Dimitar Berbatov against Liverpool! Liverpool have only 5 points in their first 5 games....just saying. I think it was £31 million Manchester United paid for Berbatov as Sir Alex Ferguson said Berbatov is the closest thing he has seen to Eric Cantona and he is finally starting to show why. Not that I condone money being spent like that on any football player. In fact I absolutely hate the money side of football but it is funny when you get people that don't like football commenting on how footballers shouldn't get paid that much (the average being a crazy £70,000 a week!) for just "kicking a ball about", but yet these seem to be the same people who own boxsets and dvds of movies such as...Transformers, watch and listen to TV and radio and not complaining about how much people on there make. Apparantly, the main actor in the horror that was Transformers (can't remember his name-not important) got paid $6million! The couple from the Twilight movies got over $16million each for their films and Cameron Diaz got $10 million just for using her voice in Shrek forever after! Simon Cowell made an estimated $75 million to his name in 2009 and his "job" is to basically be an idiot. Beyonce Knowles made $87 million for shaking her bum. On a "lesser" extent, Phillip Schofield gets about £750,000 for hosting a show that nobody cares about and Fearne Cotton gets £20,000 a year for her radio show. The thing that annoys me most is that I am probably far more entertaining then all of the names mentioned (remember, you can't see Cameron Diaz as she is only using her voice) and I get paid £5.82p an hour for my job. So it's not just in football where the wages are crazy. It's pretty much everywhere around us.
