Footballer Pays $155,000 For One Karaoke Song

No idea who Craig Bellamy is, but if this Daily Mirror story is true, the British athlete may want to cut down on his crooning:

CONTROVERSIAL Premiership star Craig Bellamy admitted last night that he had 'lost it' with John Arne Riise on Liverpool's night of chaos in Portugal...

Bellamy is reported to have been fined £80,000 for his behaviour, which included brandishing a golf club at Riise, after a club evening out at the Vale do Lobo resort.

"It started when we were all doing a bit of karaoke," Bellamy said. "I only sang one song and that was Red, Red Wine by UB40.

Bellamy doesn't fit the profile of most UB40 fans, who tend to be either hot-stone massage therapists or, more typically, actual members of UB40. But surely he must have known that performing the sub-par pseudo-rap that ends "Red, Red Wine" will prompt even the most mellow singer into a golf club-wielding fit of rage.

THE DAILY MIRROR: Bellamy: I just lost control
