RICKY MARTIN’S FOOT FETISH COULD PAY OFF

Ricky Martin recently made headlines (and raised eyebrows!) when he revealed he has a foot fetish and likes massaging and kissing men’s feet, but I think that was  part of a bigger plan: According to an insider, Ricky has been working on a line of comfortable yet stylish shoes for men and timed his foot fetish announcement as a precursor to launching the collection. In the early 2000’s, I can remember when Ricky would visit a building a friend of mine lived in. The street would be blocked and he seemed to have more security detail than the president. A few years ago, I was very excited when he came to my house to do a magazine photoshoot and interview – he even posed for a pic with me and my Wire Fox Terrier Lulu. Fame can be fleeting, and while he’s managed to stay reasonably relevant, my source says Ricky is turning to footwear as a new source of revenue. He’s seen celebrities like Jessica Simpson earn millions from their shoe lines and hopes to mimic that success.

RICKY MARTIN IS NOW THE FATHER OF FOUR

We didn’t realize how much Ricky Martin loves kids! We remember thinking “how nice” around 13 years ago when Ricky became the father of twins (Matteo and Valentino) via surrogate. He seemed to put his booming career on the back burner and spent most of his time raising the boys. In 2018 Ricky married his painter boyfriend Jwan Yosef and they’ve all been living together happily ever since. We did not realize that Ricky and Jwan quietly added two more kids to their family – three year old Lucia (above) and two year old Renn. Ricky calls Lucia “daddy’s little girl” and they celebrated both of their birthdays on December 24th.

RICKY MARTIN LEADS THE REBELLION

Actually Ricky Martin is trying to keep the demonstration against the governor of Puerto Rico peaceful, but the crowd is getting more aggressive. Chats the governor had with his associates were leaked and they were shockingly vulgar, misogynistic, homophobic and revealed them to be despicable people. Everyone involved in the scandal resigned except the governor, and the voters want him OUT. Ricky is setting a good example for his twins…

NO MORE VIDA LOCA FOR RICKY MARTIN

He was bundled up for the freezing weather, so Ricky Martin managed to walk through JFK with his luggage practically unnoticed. He’s busy promoting his FX movie The Assassination of Gianni Versace on American Crime Story, ahead of the premier Wednesday. Ricky, 46, and his husband, artist Jwan Yosef, and Ricky’s 10 year old twin sons have settled down (in a gorgeous house) in Los Angeles after touring for the past five years. We’re betting he’s aiming for an acting career…

DETAILS MATTER IN VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Ricky Martin must be excited about his role in Versace: American Crime Story – it will probably open doors for him in Hollywood. Puerto Rican born Ricky did a little acting in Mexico before he returned to music and became an international pop star. He’s playing Antonio D’Amico, Gianni Versace’s good looking boyfriend of fifteen years. He and Edgar Ramirez as Gianni, filmed a beachside scene today in Miami. Versace was killed in 1997 and his sister Donatella has never gotten along with Antonio. We love that “Antonio” is carrying i-D magazine from 1994 with Kylie Minogue on the cover – the coolest fashion periodical of the 90’s. Nice touch.

VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY IS AN ELABORATE RE-ENACTMENT

Ryan Murphy is a stickler for authenticity so it’s no surprise that he rented Gianni Versace’s Miami mansion, where he was killed in 1997, as a filming location for Versace: American Crime Story. The elaborate house is now a boutique hotel, Villa Casa Casuarina, with ten rooms retaining many Versace features. All the rooms are ultra-fancy (gaudy and very Trumpish with lots of gold) and go for over a thousand dollars a night. So you can imagine what it cost for ACS to rent the whole place for the month of May. Ricky Martin is playing Versace’s boyfriend Antonio and we look forward to seeing him in a Speedo around the pool.

RICKY MARTIN: ADIOS TO LA VIDA LOCA

He’s a full-time dad and about to be a husband too. Ricky Martin always wanted kids of his own and his two boys, Matteo and Valentino, were born in 2008 with the help of a surrogate. Two years later Ricky officially came out of the closet and now he’s engaged to Syrian born artist Jwan Yosef. Soon the boys will have two dads. When he’s not touring, Ricky is admirably active in humanitarian – especially children’s – causes. Ricky brought the boys and fiancée Jwan to the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story premier.

RICKY MARTIN’S VIDA IS NOT SO LOCA ANY MORE

Ricky Martin, 44, is lookin’ good in London where he took in a play- “The Entertainer.” He’s in the middle of a world tour but still manages to spend time with his twin boys Matteo and Valentino– as often as possible. They were born to a surrogate 8 years ago. Ricky chose to have a family by himself rather than with a partner. It makes sense – if Ricky and his partner split up there are no custody issues. (His current boyfriend is artist Jwan Yosef.) We get the feeling his twins are very lucky – Ricky seems like he’s a responsible and loving dad. Plus, they might grow up to LOOK LIKE him!

RICKY MARTIN’S VIDA IS STILL LOCA

AG053013_05ickycut

Where has Ricky Martin, 42, BEEN for the past few years? His six year old twins Matteo and Valentino, (via surrogate) are taking up a lot of his private time. (Can you imagine how handsome they’ll be when they grow up?) Ricky’s also been touring in Mexico, and recording in Spanish, besides writing children’s books and launching a website for parents. He was also a coach on The Voice in Australia and Mexico. Soon you’ll be able to see his wax likeness anytime you want at Madame Tussauds new museum in Orlando.

FRIENDLY ARAB? NOPE – IT’S RICKY MARTIN!

#rickymartin #janetcharlton

His “Evita” mustache makes Ricky Martin look like a handsome Arab when combined with his safe WHITE hoodie. (Much less threatening than black, no?) His hit Broadway show is closing when Ricky leaves on January 26 so if you want to see him, it’s now or never. Voted “the sexiest man on Broadway,” Ricky has a deal with NBC for a new series.
