1. "Real Madrid" is a football team in Spain.
2. "image" means "reputation"
3. A tabloid is a general term for a gossip newspapaer.
4. A nervous breakdown is a temporary loss of self-control because of stress.
5. yes, arguments are fights.
6. high profile means that the marriage gets a lot of attention because the married people are important figures. For example, a marriage between a king and queen.
7. I have no idea.

Purely for information, the word Real in the soccer team Real Madrid is pronounced Ray (to rhyme with pay) al (to rhyme with pal).

It is the Spanish word for Royal.

And Real Madrid is a damn good team too.
