Ricky Martin leaving a party in Bel Air (2/20)
Ricky Martin pretty much came out of the closet. I know, I know,
shocking. Who knew a man with such rhythm would turn out to be gay? From UK tabloid
Metro:
The Puerto Rican superstar concedes he is now one for the fellas in a new interview with Hispanic magazine TV Aqui. Pressed on his sexuality once again, daring Ricky said while he can still have fun the ladies he is now venturing into the men's market to find his soul mate also. The 37-year-old revealed "his heart could belong to a woman or a man."
I'm sorry Ricky Martin's publicist, but there is no spinning this: your client is gay. You want to know why no gay rumors have ever been started about me?
Because I'm not gay. I can say with 100% confidence that not once in my life have I hinted that I would potentially fuck one of my guy friends.
Ricky Martin shaking his bon bon at the Armani store opening in New York (2/17)
Ricky Martin narrowly escaped a fan -- one with "icky" girl parts -- last weekend at Mansion nightclub in Miami. From the
New York Daily News:
The Latin crooner saw red after one raucous female fan wouldn’t leave him alone at the South Beach hotspot Mansion, where the new dad was on hand with several male friends.
“This girl kept going over and asking him to ‘Shake your bon bon!’ and screaming in his face,” our spy shared. Ignoring her for a little, Martin finally had enough. “He snapped back, ‘That’s really not cool.
Please don’t embarrass me like this,’ ” says our source. Martin, who then moved his entire entourage to the other side of the club to escape her, eventually did start shaking it and then continued to dance until 3 a.m. (Source)
Surely Ricky wasn't "embarrassed" by the fact that a chick was screaming in his face or that she wanted him to shake his ass. What probably really embarrassed him was the fact that it happened to him in front of his "male friends." Newsflash Ricky: If at this point in your career you're still ashamed of your sexuality, you should just do what other Hollywood celebs do to try and convince the public they're straight.
You must marry Katie Holmes.
Ricky Martin has a nice house
Ricky Martin's 9,500 square foot house in Miami Beach
NOTE: “. . . is better than you” is a Friday feature showcasing multi-million dollar celebrity homes in the hopes of generating feelings of jealousy, hatred, and animosity towards said celebrity. When you get down to the entertainment-dollar-spending core of it, you helped buy that home. Sucker!

Gay? Well I never . . .
According to Ricky Martin's close friend, "skincare guru" Ole Henricksen, the singer is gay. I know. Shocking. Henricksen told an unnamed Swedish magazine:
"[Ricky] is a bit more open about [his homosexuality] these days than he used to be. It's difficult for artists, women as well as men, who need to sell lots of records to be open about their sexuality." When asked if the Livin' la Vida Loca star has a boyfriend, Ole added: "I don't know if he has any. "At least I haven't seen him." (Source)
Nevermind what this dude said, the fact that Ricky Martin's close friend is a "skincare guru" is all the evidence I need. Well that and the closet-full of leather pants he owns. I can count on one hand the number of straight guys who own leather pants . . . did I mention I lost all of my fingers years ago in an accident down at the old mill?
Ricky Martin in Hollywood today
I don't know how this happened but Ricky Martin was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today . . . he may have won it in a charity raffle. Or eBay. Are they selling these things on eBay now? Yeah it must have been eBay--I swear you can buy anything on that site. Just last week I bought a Snickers bar for only 27 cents--40% off retail! It may have been half eaten but it sure as hell wasn't half delicious!
Look out 1999! Ricky Martin's back in the news. But not the old "selling out stadiums" Ricky Martin. I'm talking about the new "(almost) selling out Indian casinos" Ricky Martin. From the New York Daily News:
Looks like Ricky Martin wants to add "bad boy" to his resume. The singer shocked the crowd at his Mohegan Sun Arena concert Saturday night with sexy video clips showing him in the buff, his private parts barely concealed. He later dropped the f-bomb a couple of times during his onstage patter. And he'd always seemed like such a nice boy. (Source)
So Ricky drops a few f-bombs and exposes a testicle and suddenly he's a bad ass? I'm not buying it. It took me years of assault, cussing, and exposed testicles to gain that rep. Damn near did some jail time, too. Thank God for juror number five. What the judge called a sex predator, she called a sexy predator. Score one for hung juries!
NOTE: Gayest pictures ever on this site? According to that anklet Ricky's wearing, yes.
Ricky Martin is having fantasies about how he used to be famous. During one recent interview, Martin explained how he refuses to let his private life dominate the tabloids, out of fear those closest to him (*cough*hisboyfriend*cough*) will suffer:
He explains, "My mother always said, 'Protect your own. Son, in this life you can do anything, but do it well. Don't be compulsive or obsessive, and protect your own.' I might be in the spotlight but I don't want that to affect the people I'm with. They are my people and I keep them for myself. Protecting my privacy is something instinctive with me."
Ricky Martin is worrying about the spotlight. Ricky Martin is worrying about the spotlight. Sorry, I had to write that twice to really emphasize how ridiculous that is. Umm, this is 2006 and not 1999, right? The only thing missing from this article is Ricky's opinion on this year's Grammys. Personally I like Lauryn Hill for "Best New Artist" although Natalie Imbruglia has been getting a lot of airtime lately.
Ricky worrying about the pressures of stardom is like me worrying where I'm going to store my collection of gold-plated Ferraris over the winter. Oh, that's right, I don't have any.
