Ricky Martin yesterday became father to twin boys through a surrogate mother.

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” said the statement. “Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

It’s funny when they say Ricky will spend the next year out of the spotlight. The AP probably gave his reps a funny look and asked, “Ricky who? Oh, him. Isn’t he gay?!” Anyway, isn’t he gay? My magic 8-ball says, “All signs point to yes.”

Ricky Martin has bought his own island for a reported $8 million dollars.

He had been considering the purchase for months according to the Mexican newspaper El Universal. The private island is just off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

No one knows whether Ricky Martin is gay, straight, really gay or ultra gay. Except for maybe his beautician, “skin care guruâ€? Ole Henriksen who was recently interviewed by a Swedish magazine. One question he was asked was who, besides his partner, he’d consider going on a romantic getaway with. His gushing reply,

“I’d go for Stig Tøfting (former Danish soccer player) but since he’s straight, I’d say my client Ricky Martin.â€?

The moral of this story is to never trust your beautician. Sure, they keep your skin looking flawless, but they have really loose lips. Like one time my beautician told a bunch of supermodels how I donated thousands of dollars to the Make A Wish foundation. “Dude, so not cool, it was supposed to be anonymous.â€? I made sure to say that loudly in front of said supermodels.

I think Ricky Martin has confused continental dining with continental adopting. The hip-shaking, bon bon eating singer has publicly pronounced that he would like to adopt children, “perhaps adopting ‘one from each continent’ if possible.”

“’It’s something we want to begin to create this year, a family of many colors,’ the 35-year-old pop star told reporters Wednesday in Puerto Rico, where he is scheduled to perform this weekend.

“Martin, who isn’t married, said he doesn’t expect special treatment in the adoption process.

“’I want to do it right,’ he said. ‘I don’t want any problems or misunderstandings. … Some think as celebrities we can manipulate the system to have a quicker adoption.’

“Martin, whose hits include ‘She Bangs,’ ‘Shake Your Bon-Bon’ and ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca,’ started the Ricky Martin Foundation to help children in need.”

What the hell does he plan on adopting for Antarctica? A child-sized penguin? He could dress it up with a hat and little red shoes and include it in all the other family activities. Man, that’d be so cute. I would totally support Ricky Martin adopting a penguin. I feel conflicted about this whole celebrity adoption thing. On the one hand, I think a lot of them are doing it for the good publicity. I mean, nannies do most of the child-rearing, so what do they care if they add another kid to the pack? On the other hand, it’s impossible to know another person’s real motivations, and it is great that so many celebs are highlighting international adoption. Ricky Martin has actually done some pretty cool things for kids, so I really can’t make fun of him. Dammit. He’s done a lot of work to put an end to human trafficking and child predators in his native Puerto Rico. That’s a pretty important issue that is definitely not getting enough attention. Alright Ricky Martin, you have a pass on this one. But I expect to see you holding flippers with a penguin and six little children really, really soon.

I don’t know if it is because my Spanish went to heck or just the whole concept of it all together. I wouldn’t mind it as much if we got to see a little more of Ricky Martin, yes we saw a lot of him but we were missing the dinero shots!

At a Saturday night concert at Connecticut casino, Ricky Martin stunned fans by showing nude footage of himself and inserting f-bombs into the lyrics of his songs.

“The singer shocked the crowd at his concert on Saturday night with sexy video clips showing him in the buff, his private parts barely concealed.”

Ricky’s attempt to become edgier by using “fuck” in his performance backfired when he combined it with nude footage of himself. Is it any surprise that I’m not the least bit turned on by this? In fact, I am so turned off right now my penis retreated into my colon and won’t come out. I called the doctor and told him to send his hottest nurse down here to check it out, STAT. That jerk hung up on me. I thought vets were not only cheaper, but friendlier.

Christian Chavez of Mexican band RBD recently came out of the closet. In an act of solidarity, Ricky Martin spoke on his behalf. The gyrating singer says,

“Life is too short to live closed up, guarding what you say. [Christian] has to be free in many aspects. I wish him much strength.”

Ricky Martin’s own sexuality has been subject to speculation for years now. I can declare without a shadow of a doubt, Ricky Martin is more man than Clint Eastwood. Some people may attempt to discredit this by way of certain pictures. But I ask you America, do two toned males frolicking about the beach in Speedos both checking out each other’s packages make them gay? Besides, what’s a few minutes of butt slapping and towel snapping among friends?

Pop.nography loves some Ricky Martin politics, especially when the vibrating heart-throb decides to boldly enter the digital age.

During his performance in Puerto Rico, Ricky Martin stuck his middle finger out when he mentioned President Bush’s name. In the song Asignatura Pendiente, there is a line in the lyrics that goes:
“A photo with Bush…”
As he said this, Ricky gave him the F-you treatment and the crowd of 18,000 fans went crazy and cheered.

I guess that’s a photo-op Dubbya could have done without, but its not like he spends a lot of time courting the gay and/or Puerto Rican vote – not that any one is claiming Ricky Martin is an ‘and’ rather than an ‘or’.
The Repubs like a family friendly, Castro-Hating, Church going conservative Hispanic voter.

Not so enthusiastic in pursuit of the hip shaking, boy banding, well groomed, beach-cavorting and worked out electorate –and now they people are being heard. Well, seen, but in a form of international sign language that hearing and non-hearing communities are really down with. Also the French – and the British Public – I don’t think we have time for the rest of the list.

Let pop.nography tie it up:

A stadium full of totally disenfranchised U.S. residents who aren’t
allowed to vote for president (or even a rep with an actual full seat in Congress) might not be the toughest crowd ever — especially when folks are already dazed with lust watching Ricky shake his bon-bon. But there’s nothing wrong with preaching to the choir.
Especially when it makes it so easy to write a joke about Ricky using his fingers for, um, higher purposes.

Not that we would ever go for that sort of easy smut based humor here, but its nice for those who like that sort of thing. And Speedos. Like Anderson Cooper.
