From the New York Daily News:

Ricky Martin wants kids - and lots of them. The single 35-year-old says he'd like to adopt a child "from each continent" to "create … a family of many colors" - but he doesn't want any special treatment just because he's a celeb. "I want to do it right," he says. "I don't want any problems or misunderstandings. … Some think [that] as celebrities, we can manipulate the system to have a quicker adoption."

I've got a strong feeling that that adopted rainbow coalition will be raised in an amazingly loving household, courtesy of their father and their omnipresent "Uncle" Dave.

    God, I've never wanted to be a towel more in my life! People can say what they want about Ricky, but he — and "Uncle" Dave — are the hotness. Caliente!

    Daddy and uncle Dave are living la vida smoka. They'll have to cut that shit when the baby gets there. Or at least take it outside.

    Wait, what would Britney do? It's my new motto. I guess they can teach the baby to smoke so it builds up a tolerance.

    Re: Smoking

    Here I go totally off topic, but has anybody been watching Mad Men? Everyone on the show smokes CONSTANTLY. When cooking, when ironing, when in an elevator. I realize it's set in the early 60s when a majority of people still smoked, but geez. And I smoke. But it really makes me want to barf seeing some chick preparing dinner for her family with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth.

    Ok, back to Ricky and Uncle Dave. They are both adorable. I hope one day that Ricky will have the strength to publicly acknowlege their relationship, because I think they've been together for a while now.

    evil twin, I saw an interview where they were talking about that, and they do it absolutely deliberately. It's supposed to be a bit of a spoof on the 60's image of smoking.

    It's on Thursdays night on A & E at 10pm eastern. It's an awesome show, and I understand it's meant to be kind of campy. However, the constant, repeated smoking seriously makes me nauseated. Maybe it's a good thing, and I'll quit smoking myself due to overexposure?

    I actually figured he was gay back in the Menudo days. Sometimes you can just see things progressing in that direction. I also figured that Danny Pintauro from "Who's the Boss?" was gay. However, I just figured out about John Travolta about 6 or 7 years ago. So my gaydar is not perfect.

    I wouldn't mind being the meat in that "man sandwich". Seriously though, RM seems to be a caring and conscientous person, with all of his charity work, etc. I'm sure his partner would have to be similar. If that's the case, I think they would be great parents!

    I agree with SillyBecky, Ricky Martin seems so nice and I think he and Uncle Dave could make great fathers.

    I don't have a problem with him adopting or anything, but why does it have to be one from every continent? It sounds like he's shopping for accessories, not wanting to give children a good home. I don't know, it just sounds a little too "fashionalbe" to want to adopt a child from each continent. As if the more remote of a village he get's a child from, the more street cred he has.

    Was that mean? God, I'm crampy.

    No blah, I completely understand you. I just think essentially he has a good heart but it can be creepy when people talk about adopting children in that sense.

    It totally is! It sounds like people want to say "My child is from Malawi…isn't that interesting? You likely don't even know where Malawi is. That means I am more cultured that you". I don't know, maybe it's me, but these kids aren't Louis Vuitton handbags to be paraded around to make the parents look good. I say, don't be so concerned with where the child is from, just that the child is in need of good parents.

    i agree is creepy and i havent decided how i feel about it morally. like look at brangelina, if they adopt thier 14 children, with all the work they do they will be just north of runnning a high class orphanage.. BUT is it a bad thing to take children from a crappy orphanage and give them all the care and sibiling (for family) then could ever need. The kids are better off becuase the fact is had htey stayed they may never have been adopted…

    so i guess the concept is creepy but it does children stuck in 3rd world (there is no 3rd world anymore tho) orphenages a chance..

    No. 19 seyour says:

    It is an interesting discussion because while a Hollywood star can provide resources and more for a child, there is no guarantee that the love and security will be there (because honestly, most celebrities are nuts and the constant need for attention doesn't bode well in terms of them being emotionally healthy or giving), which is what is essentially needed to have a happy childhood and productive adulthood.

    And if Brangelina/Ricky/whoever is shopping, so that they have a multicultural brood, to make themselves feel good and appear worldly, that doesn't bode well and you could argue that a child might be better off in an orphanage were resources are scarce but the sense of community/family is strong.

    It's the ol' Quality Of Life debate. And at least with a big brood even if the parents are negligent, the children will have each other, maybe.

    On one hand I think it's an amazing thing to give a home to any child who needs one. I also think that there are many children in this country who need a good home as well.
