In recent celebrity news, Ricky Martin openly admitted on his blog that he is, in fact, gay. I'm not quite sure why everyone is acting so surprised. I mean, the guy was in Menudo for crying out loud. No straight man can shake his hips like he did in his "Livin La Vida Loca" music video. I think he came out of the closet at an odd time, but for good personal reasons, stating he did it to be true to his children, who he fathered through a surrogate. (Again, here's your sign.) Also, he needed to come out when he was ready to share that part of himself with the world when he was ready, if ever. I personally don't think it's any of the public's business what a person's sexuality is. It doesn't make me like his music any less or more. I loved "Livin La Vida Loca" back in my middle school days, and I'll still shake my butt to it at Joe's 8th grade dance night if given the chance. Plus, if anything, that scene with the candle wax is still unforgettable and talked about. Although, I will conclude my little speal by saying, my sister now owes me ten dollars from our bet from eight years ago.
Here's a link to an article from ABC discussing Martin's announcement:
