Ricky Martin, Latin popstar, actor and father of twins, has today confirmed long-running rumors that he is a gay man. On his personal blog on his official website, Ricky opens up about his decision to announce to the world that he is a “proud … homosexual man”. I, for one, am thrilled!! Anytime a person finds the strength within themselves to open up about something so personal on a large public scale there is much cause for celebration! Here is the full text of Ricky‘s blog announcement:

A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And thisis something worth celebrating. For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that’s the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It’s my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don’t ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I’m at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I’m feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share. Many people told me: “Ricky it’s not important”, “it’s not worth it”, “all the years you’ve worked and everything you’ve built will collapse”, “many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature”. Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.

Ricky‘s blogpost announcement continues, after the jump …

In December we got to check out the first movie trailer for Iron Man 2. Earlier this month we got to see the second movie trailer for IM2. Today, we get to see a third … and a new movie poster, too:

Previously we’ve seen Iron Man 2 posters HERE, HERE and HERE. This is the fist poster to feature all of the principal characters … but the real draw is the new trailer. This one was made for TV, check it out after the jump …

Kellan Lutz, who usually does a great job of lookin’ all hawt and shizz, stepped out to pick up some supplies at a party goods store in Sherman Oaks, CA over the weekend while wearing an absolutely DREADFUL out fit. His skin-tight green shirt (which looks way too much like crushed velvet) clashed horribly with his hyper-yellow hair color … check it out:

Yeah … I think the world you’re looking for is, YIKES! I have to say … I’m all for adventures in hair coloring but this shade of yellow is never a good look on anyone. Considering how hot Kellan Lutz is, I’d be willing to overlook the bad hair color OR, I’d be willing to overlook the terrible outfit … but coupled together? No. He’d be better off just wearing nothing at all … which is actually what I think we’d all prefer ;)

When last we checked in with Kelis she had just released a very cool-looking new promo pic to announce the release of her new album titled Flesh Tone … and today, we get our first look at the music video for the first single off her new album. Here are a few screencaps from Acapella:

The video for Kelis’ new single, “Acapella,” [premiered] today at www.iamkelis.com. Based on a treatment written by the GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter, the video was lensed in Los Angeles by co-directors Chris Cottam, Rankin and Nicole Ehrlich. Kelis performed at numerous events during last week’s Winter Music Conference 2010 in Miami, including shows with will.i.am, Benny Benassi and David Guetta. She’ll perform on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday, April 6th. “Acapella” topped Billboard’s Dance/Club Play Songs chart earlier this month and is now No. 1 on Music Week’s Pop Club Chart in the U.K., where it’s been added by the BBC’s Radio 1. The track, which appeared in People’s “Hot Downloads” column and on Entertainment Weekly’s “The MustList,” was produced by David Guetta (producer of The Black Eyed Peas’ hit single “I GOTTA FEELING”). “Acapella” is the lead single from Kelis’ upcoming album, Flesh Tone, which will be released this summer by will.i.am Music Group/Interscope Records. Flesh Tone, her first album in nearly four years, was singled out as one of 2010’s “Best Bets” by Billboard. In addition to working with Guetta, Kelis recorded Flesh Tone with several other influential producers, including Free School, Boys Noize, Burnz, DJ Ammo, Benny Benassi and label head will.i.am, who called Kelis “a best kept secret,” in a recent interview with Vibe.com, noting: “She can be big…As big as the Peas.”

OMG … I love this track and the music video is a trip! There’s even a cameo by Kelis‘s baby boy Knight. After the jump, check out the video in full and see what you think …

Now that Shannen Doherty has stepped back into the limelight by competing as a contestant on season 10 of Dancing with the Stars, her movements around town have become more noticeable by the paparazzi. Whether it’s a good thing or not, Shannen is back on the radar. I, personally, think it’s a good thing cuz I’m totally on Team Shannen! Here are a couple pics of Shannen with her boyfriend making their way out of Fred Segal in West Hollywood, CA this weekend after a quick shopping trip:

I don’t think Shannen necessarily likes all the attention her fame brings her but here’s hoping she warms up to it a bit. I’d love for her stint on DWTS to lead to something more substantial somewhere down the line. It’d be fantastic to have her back on TV again :) I guess we’ll have to wait and see … in the meantime, Shannen will need our support on DWTS. Go, Team Shannen, GO!

Yesterday afternoon I finally got to meet Darion’s sister Damien, her husband Kirk and their beautiful baby boy Grayson. I took a break from my midday work to meet up with with for a quite bite to eat at Mao’s on Melrose Blvd:

Grayson was a bundle of energy for most of lunch but he wore himself out and then passed out ;) He is such a cutie. I’m so glad I finally got to meet these members of Darion’s fam.

I spent the rest of the day taking care of biz and then Darion talked me into going to the movies with him last night. He suggested How to Train Your Dragon and, considering all the good stuff I heard about the film, I was game. We had a blast!

Dragon is SOOOO cute!! In IMAX 3D, it’s insane. I loved the movie so much … all I kept thinking was how much I want a dragon as a pet ;) This movie is really great for kids but our theater was full of adults and everyone seemed to love it. I have such an affinity for Viking tales that this modern story set amongst the Vikings was really quite a treat. I loved this movie ENTIRELY and wholeheartedly suggest y’all check it out.

It’s a good time at the movies, y’all.

Here’s hoping your Monday is coming along nicely … it’s warm and sunny here in SoCal so I’ve got no cause for complaints :D

Last Friday the cast and crew of the long-running daytime drama The Young and the Restless celebrated the 37th anniversary of the soap in a lavish celebration that brought together many Y&R alums from the past to party with some members of the current cast. It’s hard to believe that the show is now 37 years old and still goin’ very strong:

Because my mother and sister were fans of the show as I was growing up, I have a certain affinity for the soap … and have for many years (not quite 37 years but, well, close). I know that daytime dramas are dropping like flies these days but I’m hopeful that we still have many more years of Young and Restless drama to look forward to. After the jump, check out some photos from the Y&R 37th Anniversary party that was held here in SoCal earlier this month …

On Saturday we learned of a report from the LA Times that claims Angelina Jolie is being considered to star as Maleficent in the upcoming Tim Burton live-action film adaptation of Disney‘s Sleeping Beauty … but today, we get to see a photo of Ange in her role as plain ol’ mom. Here is a cute pic of Angelina taking a group of her kiddies to a private park in Venice, Italy this weekend:

Don’t you just love how little Miss Shiloh Nouvel is so expressive in her dress? I love that she always stands out from the rest of her siblings … I guess in a big family like this, kids gotta do what they gotta do to get noticed. I know we can’t see it very well, but Zahara Marley‘s little outfit looks fierce … at least from the back. Pax Thien is prolly wearing whatever he could find on the floor. I just love this family … it’s always fun to check in on them to see what’s going on.

Okay, Gleeks, this one’s for you … Mark Salling, who plays the mohawked Noah Puck Puckerman on the hit Fox TV series Glee, is featured in the new issue of Flaunt magazine … and he is lookin’ good, y’all. While I cannot get on board with the silly mohawk (which he *must* wear for the role), I can deffo get on board with the rest of him … behold:

Mark Salling has it all. As Noah “Puck” Puckerman, on the biggest hit TV show of the year, Glee, Salling gets to play the mohawked bad boy star quarterback, as well as the sensitive music lover. The show is beloved – Salling now answers fan mail from tweens and mothers from all over the world – and his storyline keeps getting more complex, affording him the ability to show off his emotional range. We’re psyched to see how it all plays out for Puck, and even more for Salling, whose timbre and stock both continue to rise.

Yes, please! But while this pic is hot, there’s another that you’re gonna wanna check out. Trust me …
