Ricky Martin Archives

Ricky Martin showed the world what he really thinks of celebrities walking around star-studded Miami Beach over New Years’ weekend. The singer was sporting a “CELEBRITIES SUCK” t-shirt. No Ricky, that won’t grab you even more attention…

Do you think that’s a functional pocket? What do you think Ricky Martin stores in there?

What was Ricky Martin doing wearing those crotch pocket pants this past Thursday? Helping kids, of course! Ricky helped drum up support for the Teleton Foundation of Mexico, which is gearing up for its tenth annual Teleton fund raiser. Ricky visited the “Centro de Rehabilitación Infantil Teletón” (CRIT), which is a rehabilitation center in Mexico, spreading the holiday cheer to all the Mexican physically challenged children being cared at the rehab center.

Background: “The goal of Teleton is to unify the community with physically challenged people, promote their acceptance and integration into society, create and build rehabilitation centers, and support organizations devoted to this issue.”

Ricky Martin is looking hot hot hot as Ocean Drive Espanol’s coverboy for the December 2006 issue! Ricky’s last tattoo was done during one recent visit to Puerto Rico. It’s a series of symbols in Hebrew Aramaic, “The Lord’s Prayer” in spiral form. Here are some choice excerpts from the interview thanks to my sub-par translation skills:

• On his morning rituals: “Clearly. Generally, I wake up early and I go to Starbucks. They know me there and they have the newspaper waiting for me, my coffee and my cinnamon roll. They are my family. Later, I go away to the gym and depending on how it is that day, I go study. I continue to practice capoeira (martial art of Brazil). I don’t go crazy training six hours daily like before anymore. I just go to the class.”
• On following religion: I really like the Buddhist philosophy but that doesn’t mean that I am of the religion. If I subscribe to Buddhism, I can’t be of anything else. They limit to you in many aspects, and I am not going to follow those rules. I believe that everybody has the right to decide what makes him/her happy. I am not one to say what is better and which is worse in terms of faith. According to the teachings of Buddhism, the worst thing than you can do to your karma is to say to someone else that their faith is bad.
• On his properties’ inspirations: My apartment in New York, creativity. Miami, peace. Puerto Rico is my home, it’s my people. I open the door in the mornings and say, “Ah, smells of Puerto Rico”. The one of Los Angeles, I’m selling and I’ve been offered money already. And I said, you have the key there. Congratulations, I will go and buy another one.

Ricky Martin accepted his Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year award during last night’s 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. The stroking of the statue is a bit much, no?

And he needs a different hairstyle… but Ricky looks good performing on stage. Check out the rest of the pictures in the gallery!
