Stephen Colbert “Shocked” To Find Out Ricky Martin Is Gay

Monday’s shocking revelation for most people wasn’t that Menudo singer Ricky Martin was a “fortunate homosexual,” but that the 90s pop icon was coming out of the closet now, years after his turn in the American spotlight. Then we found out he was pitching his autobiography, and that made a little more (business) sense. But there was at least one person for whom Martin’s sexuality was a total “surprise”: as Stephen Colbert said on his Comedy Central program, “I knew he was livin’ la vida loca…just not that loca.”




We hope that Colbert’s producers can convince Ricky to come on the program for an interview…we’d love for an excuse to see Stephen in that belly-shirt again.
