KEY POINTS:
Latino heartthrob Ricky Martin has always been a firm favourite with the ladies. But despite being a fervent chick magnet, he's been dogged by rumours about his sexuality for years.
Martin has always maintained a dignified silence when it comes to his preference, but he's now been 'outed' by none other than his very own skin care specialist.
Skin care specialist? I'm saying nothing...
He bangs
According to a Hollywood skincare guru, Ricky Martin is gay.
Ole Henriksen told an unnamed Swedish magazine: "He is a bit more open about it these days than he used to be.
"It's difficult for artists, women as well as men, who need to sell lots of records to be open about their sexuality."
Asked whether the singer has a boyfriend, he added: "I don't know if he has any. At least I haven't seen him."
And Henriksen kept on digging...
When asked who he'd choose to spend a romantic holiday with, he replied:
"I'd go for Stig Toifting (Danish footballer) but since he's straight, I'd say my client Ricky Martin."
I think you'll find that vacation is now cancelled. Martin must be chafing in those leather pants he's so fond of.
Ricky, mate, accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the Adonis statue.
Personally, I couldn't give a fig whether you're gay, straight, bi or tri - who cares?
As my dear mother once said, "Don't sweat the petty things...and don't pet the sweaty things."

Jack the dad
It's no big secret that Jack Nicholson is a randy old goat, so we shouldn't be shocked with the claim that he's fathered thousands of children - 9,000 to be exact.
The legendary Lothario, who's bedded a string of Hollywood beauties throughout his fertile career, has four children by three women - but the Shining actor claims there could be many, many more.
Jack said: "There could be 9,000 for all I know - I used to live so freely."
Thankfully, Jack, 70, says he's calming down with age and keeping his libido in check.
He said: "You can't get too wild these days but I'm as wild as you can get."
A source said: "He loves women - it's as simple as that."

No Royal wedding
There was a rumour circulating that Queen Latifah is set to get hitched to her long-time personal trainer and so-called girlfriend, Jeanette Jenkins.
However, Latifah has now come out and set the record straight.
"When you're famous these days, it's just part of the deal - unfortunately," she told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"People will make up all sorts of things that are not true and there ain't gonna be no wedding," she added.
So there you have it: no nuptials, but no firm denial that she's a cat lover.
I say kiss her royal ass, the queen has spoken.
Wino's a no-show
I reported a few weeks ago that Amy Winehouse missed a video shoot for new single Love is a Losing Game, and here's the proof.
Her record label has released this "official video" for her brilliant single, but it's merely a montage of old clips and concert footage. To be honest, it looks like the kind of video her family will play at her tearful wake.
This is gold
Check out this crazy video of Amy Winehouse's 12 Days Of Christmas.
This is Goldenballs
David Beckham looks decidedly more golden-bulge than Goldenballs in this smoldering new ad for Emporio Armani underwear.
Well hello, big boy. One of us is thinking naughty thoughts... OK, it's me.
Beckham boldly stripped down to his birthday suit for the underwear campaign, which will soon be hitting billboards all over London, New York, LA, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo.
And the eye candy speaks too.
Speaking about his mate Armani, Becks gushed: "I first met Mr Armani quite a few years ago while I was working with the England team and he designed our World Cup suit," he says.
"I've been a big fan of his style for a long time and, through the years, my wife and I have become friends with him, so I'm happy to be working with him now. For me, Giorgio Armani is a man who has been at the top of his game for more than thirty years."
But there's just one problem with Becks: Body by Michelangelo; brain by Mattel.
Talking of youthful virility...
Here's the teaser poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Amazingly, Harrison Ford looks like he hasn't aged a day since the last Indy crusade.
Ridley's a riddle-breaker
Warning: Major plot spoiler ahead for Blade Runner fans.
Director Ridley Scott recently won a lifetime achievement award at the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival in Los Angeles. Although the big man himself wasn't there to accept the award, he recorded a special message for the audience who had just been treated to an exclusive screening of his Final Cut version of Blade Runner.
He apologised for not being there, yadda yadda yadda, but then dropped this little gem:
"And one final word.... yes, Deckard IS a Replicant."

Live and let me die
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie slaughterd GNR's Live And Let Die at the Movies Rock event last weekend.
About as enjoyable (and as painful) as swallowing razorblades.

Brad Pitt's shortcomings
Juliette Lewis has opened her ex-files and dished the dirt on her dalliance with Brad Pitt in the early 90s.
The National Enquirer reports that singer/actress Lewis was quizzed by a fan after she finished performing at a concert last week, and she was far from complimentary about Pitt's modesty.
A wiseguy audience member went up to Lewis and asked, "Hey, Juliette, how was Brad Pitt in the sack anyway?"
Juliette allegedly quipped, "He was no... BIG deal, if ya know what I mean!"
As she walked back to the stage, the fan yelled: "Are you saying Brad was the PITTS?"
She then laughed uncontrollably and proceeded to knock into a table, sending drinks flying all over the show.
Bless her, someone should tell her the Earth is full - go home!
However, there could be some truth to Lewis' claims that Bradley has a winkle for a wiener.
Gorgeous George Clooney once joked about best mate Pitt's small feet when they were laid in cement in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
"He's got very small feet," said Clooney. "I don't want that out, 'cause you know how those rumors can start."
Penis envy?
They do say that friendships last when each friend thinks he has a slight superiority over the other.
Tyra Banks is fat
I didn't say it, original supermodel Janice Dickinson did.
Dickinson appeared on TV this week defending Jennifer Love Hewitt's stance that she's not fat. But her claws were fully extended when it came to discussing Tyra Banks' figure.
She said: "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat."
Expect fur to fly imminently.
Watch Dickinson in action here and here.
Rupert Everett's sartorial swipe
They say you can't keep a good bitch down, and that's certainly the case with scalpel-blade tongued actor Rupert Everett.
The British actor has decided to take a swipe at style icons Kate Moss and Madonna, labeling their fashion sense as simply "terrible."
Everett, currently starring in new movie St. Trinian's, insists he would be better suited to teach celebrities about fashion and beauty.
He says, "Forget 'St. Trinian's,' I should really be headmistress of a star academy. All these so-called style divas have such terrible dress sense. I could give them a proper going over, and then put them back on the road. 'Ooh, look, Kate Moss' hands have become almost as grabby as Madonna's."
"Actually, they're all at it, clutching their handbags with knobbly claws, like it's stuffed full of cash. That will have to be one of the first week's lessons at school. How to hold your handbag without looking grasping."
Everett, I'd run now if I were you... Madge will be after you with her cattle prod.
Mind you, she might not be able to clock you, seeing as she's sporting what looks like a pair of shiners.
Nip/Tuck, darling?
Moving along swiftly...
Last, but certainly not least... Britney's Looney Tunes antics continue to make compelling viewing.
The hillbilly walks into a Starbucks store, orders a coffee and a bite to eat. Store staff yells at the throng of paparazzi that has followed her inside to get the hell out. They ignore the pleas. Brit Brit grimaces at price of beverages, hands cash over, walks out and tells the paparazzi she loves them.
But then one of her multiple personalities kicks in and she shouts, "Don't touch my fu**ing car. I swear to God."
Psycho.
Watch the incident here.
More proof that Brit Brit has the IQ of a corn flake. Here be images of the lass sporting her favourite pink wig and wearing a skirt that's so short the whole world is her gynecologist.
Enjoy.
Oh, P.S. Britney is brunette again.
