In contrast, Who's coverage of images of Latin crooner Ricky Martin flexing himself beside a well-toned budgie-smuggling male friend at St Bart's is incredibly unhelpful. Here are two muscled blokes shaking out their beach towels together, checking out each other's pecs and doing matching star stretches on the sand. Come on Who. Where's the innuendo?
Hasn't Ricky 'come out' YET?
Ricky Martin confirms he is gay By staff writers From: NewsCore March 30, 2010 8:28am
RICKY Martin has confirmed rumours that he is gay, announcing on his website today that he is a "fortunate homosexual man" who is "very blessed to be who I am."
Though speculation raged for years about the 38-year-old Latino singer’s flamboyant dance moves - always performed with beautiful female partners - Martin said he decided to come out to the world after beginning his memoirs and realising his sexual orientation was “something worth celebrating.”
The Shake your Bon Bon singer, a father of twin boys from a surrogate mother, said the announcement brought him happiness he never felt before.
"Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment,” he wrote. “These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed.”
In a 1999 interview with Rolling Stone, Martin danced around the question of his sexuality.
"You can think whatever you want. I know what I am, my beliefs, what I like and don’t like," he said, noting that he had a girlfriend in the past.
"This is show business. It’s a lot of fantasy," he said.
This is not a revelation for some of us Now for a few more men that I feel are 'gay' in the spotlight and at the same time in the closet I used to tell my son, now in his mid 20's that Ricky is Gay and he was most indignant that Ricky was not gay. Women/Mother's know these things

Yep, I knew what you meant Aqua, just telling the rest of our members and guests when it's on so they too can enjoy the wonderful tongue in cheek humour of Colbert. I used to watch both these shows with my son on the net and really appreciate both Jon and Stephen! I am secretly in love with the gorgeous Jewish Jon Stewart
Talk about perfect casting: Outrageous British comic Sacha Baron Cohen will play outrageous Brit rocker Freddie Mercury in a biopic about the Queen frontman set to film next year, reports Deadline.com.
Mercury, known for his soaring vocals and flamboyant stage presence, helped make Queen one of the biggest bands of the '70s and '80s with hits like "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You." He died from AIDS-related complications at age 45 in 1991.
Reports that Cohen, 38, would play the singer first surfaced in 2007, though the actor's rep shot down the rumors at the time. GK Films, which is heading up the project, now confirms that the "Borat" and "Bruno" star is on board. Screenwriter Peter Morgan, who previously wrote scripts for "The Queen" and "The Last King of Scotland," is ready to take on music royalty for the film.
GK Films' Graham King said in a statement, “Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself. Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter’s screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success.”
Music rights for the band's songs have already been acquired, and Deadline reports that it's not yet known whether Cohen will do his own singing or whether Mercury's vocals will be used.
Cohen, however, did prove he could belt out a tune with the best of them in "Sweeney Todd," the 2007 musical starring Johnny Depp, who, coincidentally, was also once rumored to be playing Mercury on screen.
