Entertainment on Parade

From a page straight out of the Clay Aiken “I don’t understand why it’s any of your business.” book, news now comes to us that Ricky Martin just became a dad by a surrogate mother.  In a statement issued, Martin’s rep said the children, born a couple of weeks ago, were “healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care.”  It also went on the say that he will “spend the remained of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

Both Aiken and Martin had avoided saying what their sexual orientation is whenever asked by interviews.  When questioned by Barbra Walters, Martin said, “…for some reason, I just don’t feel like it [saying what my sexual orientation is]. You know, it’s, it’s something so mine.”

I mean – come on guys!  What is so bad about coming out and saying “I’m gay?”  Do they think their female audience is so stupid that they don’t realize it?  In these cases, word like “surrogate mother” and “artificially inseminated” all but screams gay.  Quit ticking off the heterosexuals and the gays and just say it.  Once said, it should die down…just ask Ellen or Rosie.
