Believe it or not, today is
Christmas Eve and
Ricky Martin's 40th birthday.
Here's the 23-year-old former "General Hospital" star back in 1994 (
left) -- and 17 years later, shot just a few months ago (
right).
Apparently, everyone should be livin' la vida loca.
Jay-Z and
Beyonce went mansion-hunting last week in Miami Beach -- and one of the SUPER-EXPENSIVE homes they checked out belongs to one
Señor Ricardo Martin ... TMZ has learned.
We confirmed with the realtor that J&B took a walk-through the 9,491 square-foot ocean-front pad last
week -- but it's unclear if the couple is interested in making an offer.
According to official records, Ricky's trying to score a hefty profit on
the estate -- because he bought it in 2005 for $10,000,000 .. and now he's listed the house at $12.5 mil.
The place is pretty sick -- boasting 7 beds, 10 baths, a swimming pool ... and it's located in one of the ritziest parts of Miami Beach, close to
Miami Heat superstars
Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh.
As for Ricky, neighbors tell us he was a great neighbor -- and they're sad to see him leave.
Pop hunks
Ricky Martin, 38, and
Enrique Iglesias, 35, both performed at the Latin Grammys in Vegas on Thursday.
Question is ...
Broadway/"
30 Rock" star
Cheyenne Jackson and pop star
Ricky Martin were out and proud at the same event in NYC last night.
Question is ...
A month after publicly
coming out of the closet,
Ricky Martin was spotted shirtless on the beach in Miami on Sunday.
The super sexy 38-year-old father of two cleans up well.
Turns out the lady who incubated Ricky Martin's babies is a serial surrogate -- but that doesn't mean she'll squirt 'em out for just anybody.
Sources tell TMZ the 26-year-old mother works for an agency that hooks up surrogates, and Ricky's bambinos are her third surrogate (and second set of twins) -- but she says her womb isn't open to Britney Spears or Michael Jackson. Wonder why ...
We're told before the birth, the two only met a couple of times, and contact with Mr. Loca was mostly through phone and email.
apl.de.ap only had two words for Clay Aiken and Ricky Martin last night -- "I'm sorry."
That sure beats the two he had for them last time -- "
That's gay" -- when asked about the two boys going the turkey baster route for babymaking.
You would think Ricky Martin's twins could fetch a pile of cash from the mags, since they're blowing all their money these days on babies who all look the same.
Seems like it's not the case with Mr. Loca, and there's an interesting reason. According to the New York Daily News, the mags want back story and Ricky's apparently unwilling to open up about why the whole surrogate thing.
Thanks to his new capoeira regimen, Ricky Martin can look hot
and kick your ass.
After a short stint livin'
la vida gorda, Ricky was back at his bon-bon shaking weight today in D.C. Now where's that Speedo?
Despite not having a U.S. hit for a few years, Ricky Martin is still a big star -- literally!
The bundled up hunk
made his way through the West Village on Wednesday, looking like he's spending less time shaking his bon bon -- and more time eating them!
