Ricky Martin's Twin Toddlers: Revealed! (http://www.etonline.com/gallery/2009/08/77703/index.html?photo=5&x=33&y=36 - broken link)

So why isn't anyone making a big deal that Ricky is unmarried and had a surrogate to birth his kids just like Michael Jackson did?

Maybe because he isn't dangling them off of a balcony.

Have to laugh, As much as I liked MJ, the baby over the balcony
was bizzare. Hopefully Ricky Martin's kids wont be seen wearing masks.

Isn't he gay? So he'd have to use a surrogate, regardless. And, what does it matter if he's unmarried? He's filthy rich, he doesn't need a spouses help.

Well Ricky is no where near as famous as MJ was/is. Not to mention Ricky sets off most people's gaydar so it isn't surprising that he would have a surrogate to birth his children. In addition it is 2009, over a decade later than MJ's first child so people have had more time to get used to the idea.

People would make a big deal of it if his twins were African babies. Unlike MJ, who went for some surrogate kiddos that weren't even his own race.

And if Ricky had been accused of child molestation....we'd be looking at him as closely as we did Micheal.

If you make a big deal about Ricky, you have to make a big deal about Clay Aiken, who also had a baby by a surrogate. So I guess the question could be posed as to why no one made a big deal about Clay being unmarried and having a baby by a surrogate, even if he is gay.

This is like comparing apples to oranges. It's not so much because MJ had a surragate it's more because he was such a strange person. (Did MJ even fathered his kids??)

I think Ricky is Bi, not gay. He actually admitted to it earlier this year, well sort off. He might have opted for a surragate because he coudln't have the kids with the woman he had a 14 year on-again, off-again relationship with: Rebecca de Alba. Anyway, whatever his reasons are he's doing a fine job and is devoting himself 100% to his kids. KUDDOS RICKY!!

All I know is Ricky Martin is a babe. His kids are adorable and there's nothing hotter than a guy who willingly chooses to have kids of his own without a mother. Alas, he's gay and I'm married, but it doesn't change the fact that single men who have babies are hot.
