Ricky Martin is now the father of twin boys. The Latin superstar had the children via a surrogate mother, and the babies were born a few weeks ago, according to a statement from his representatives.
“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” said the statement. “Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”
A representative said there was no further information on the details of the children’s birth.
The last time I remember Ricky Martin being in the “spotlight”, was when William Hung sang “She Bangs” on American Idol.

Angelina Jolie has FINALLY given birth to twins. Jolie and Pitt welcomed a boy and a girl on Saturday.
“The babies are doing well. The operation went just perfectly,” Dr. Michel Sussmann told PEOPLE Sunday. “Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well.”
The Jolie Pitt twins names are Knox Leon and Vivienne Marchline. They were delivered by Dr. Michael Sussmann at Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France. The little boy, Knox, weighed 5.03 lbs and Vivienne was a solid 5 lbs. Brad stayed by her side as Jolie went through a cesarean section yesterday evening. The names are said to be in honor of their grandparents. Vivienne’s middle name came from Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand. Knox is in honor of Brad’s grandfather, Hal Knox Hillhouse.
Rumors that Angie was frustrated, grumpy and pushing to “be done” with her pregnancy followed rumors the twins would be born on Tuesday the 15th. Dr. Sussmann assured press hungry reporters that the babies date was pushed forward for “medical reasons.” During the delivery Brad Pitt was with Angelina spent the bulk of the delivery “talking.” Jolie was awake for the section (which is common in case you didn’t know) and very happy. Brad was calm and even cut the babies’ cords.
“He was … perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional,” said Sussmann.
Asked whether the birth had been a textbook delivery, Sussmann replied, “absolutely no problems.”
Currently everyone is doing fine and plan to stay in the hospital. Apparently in Europe they encourage patients to recover in the hospital longer than the typical 3-4 days after a c-section.
In other news…
Mayor Christian Estrosi of Nice, France held a press conference to show off the birth certificates of the twin messiahs. It’s nice to see that France didn’t try to capitalize on the Jolie-Pitt’s choosing their country to have the babies.
“On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple of the world who have chosen our city for this happy event. I also congratulate the four brothers and sisters of the newborns who are [history won't forget it] real ‘Niçois’ (’citizens of Nice’). It’s a pride to Nice and all its citizens.”
What others said:
Dlisted says, “I’m surprised his ass didn’t come prancing out with Saint Angelina’s golden placenta in one hand and the chosen ones’ umbilical cords in the other.”
Yeeeah says, “Oh, that’s nice, isn’t it? Loads of flowers and a public mayoral ceremony to welcome their new life into the world. Kinda like when I was born, and my Dad stepped out for a smoke and then never came back. Only with less pomp and circumstance, of course.”

Miley will not be outdone by Angelina Jolie’s twins! To trump the new Messiahs, Miley Cyrus Shower photos have surfaced.
These are supposedly photos Miley sent to Nick Jonas. They were leaked by a hacker according to the story. More photos are out there according to the hacker. He/she claims they are “way worse” and are currently shopping the Miley Cyrus nude photos.
According to the pervert, Miley has dozens of emails to about their sex adventures. The photos are also date stamped with 10/27/07. A date which would coincide with her rumored relationship with the Nick Jonas.
She sent the wet t-shirt photos in effort to seduce Nick. In one photo she is wearing a “Nick J” necklace. He is the youngest of the Jonas Brother tribe.
Angelina Joliehas revealed that two of the tattoos she acquired for her latest film Wanted are a homage to Britain’s World War II leader.
The words in gothic script on her upper arms come from a speech Sir Winston made on the day he took office in 1940. In an interview for US television, Jolie said:
“We tried to focus the tattoos on themes related to this sense of justice, ‘We have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat’, I had ‘toil’ and ‘tears’.”
For Jolie, playing a trained killer called Fox in Wanted was a relief from the usual experience of having her extensive body art collection covered up.
“Instead of taking mine away, which we have to do in every film, we ended up leaving mine and adding more,” she said. “I have ’strength of will’ in one language, and we added it in four other languages on my arm. “‘Know Your Rights’ is printed in English on the back of my neck, and again in Latin as well.”
After the birth of her twins, she will have the map co-ordinates of their place of birth tattooed on her arm.
All I can say is Bizarre - yet strangely appealing.
Angelina Jolie’s obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, assured the press at a news conference in the South of France today, that all is well with the expectant mom – something that she and Brad Pitt want the world to know. That’s right, she’s still pregnant!
“Everything is normal,” the obstetrician said in French, as he also said in English, “She is very well, and she’s okay. … Brad and Angelina want everyone to know that everything is going well. It is simply a visit of surveillance, no birth.”
The babies, he said, will arrive “in the weeks to come.”
Angelina was probably resting up in the hospital, watching TV and laughing her ass off — forced to set the record straight.
Pitt arriving at hospital with Zahara and Shiloh
Jolie, who is expecting twins, checked into the medical center this weekend. Since that time, the media has been on a frenzy — with two tabloids even reporting two different gender combinations. By the way, both of those mags are just now hitting the stands — they’ll have to live with the shame for a whole week.
Sussmann added about his patient,
“Angelina is very, very nice, she will stay in the hospital until the birth. I will stay with her.”
No wonder she’s having the babies in France — can you imagine the frenzy that would have ensued at a hospital in say… Hollywood?

After showing off her post-pregnancy bikini bod, new mom Jennifer Lopez got all dressed up and headed the Palacio De Los Deportes in Madrid, Spain to watch her hubby Marc Anthony croon to a sold out audience.
Sitting front row (yes, being married to the talent has its perks), Jennifer showered her beau air kisses and words of encouragement as he did his thing for his many Spanish fans.
We can’t help but notice how full Jennifer looks, in the chest area. Clearly, breastfeeding the twins has some perks.
Angelina Jolie sure does think her boobies are great. I have to admit the fact that she is still pretty hot for caring around the future of Double Mint twins.
Apparently while in France she decided to change her top…on the balcony…in front of a throng of paparazzi. Yes, Angelina Jolie topless photos are still great. Don’t worry Angie. A British survey recently gives the title of most seductive women to Angelina Jolie and Marilyn Monroe.
