Cristiano Ronaldo is the hot 24-year-old Portuguese soccer phenom who plays winger for Real Madrid and serves as captain of the Portuguese national team. He is the highest paid footballer in history, having recently signed a contract worth $132 million. He is reportedly teaming up with Joe Jackson on a potentially lucrative business venture.

Michael Jackson‘s father Joe told TMZ that he holds a stake in a company called GAME ON PRODUCTS, featuring barbecue grills in the shape of soccer balls. We’re serious. The colorful grills mounted on tripod legs will be sold at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Jackson plans to hook up with Cristiano in early December to shoot TV, magazine and internet advertisements for the Goalie Grill.

Suddenly Joe has come out of relative obscurity to cash in on the Jackson name….just when everyone assumed he had vanished into Neverland.

View the colorful Goalie Grills below.
