UPDATE: Ricky Martin's Bisexuality Overblown
Sooprise, sooprise. Looks like gossip rag, TV Aqui trumped up Ricky Martin's alleged bisexuality just to create buzz (pot-kettle black?). If you remember, last week we ran TV Aqui's cover reporting that the Latin man-candy "accepts that his heart could belong to a male or female." Looks like that conclusion was milked out of a bone dry response basically telling the interviewer that he wouldn't talk about his sexuality.
Well, the Bisexuality Examiner of examiner.com, Mike Szymanski (yes, quite a stupid job title) chatted with the TV Aqui interviewer Saudy Rivera this weekend and asked her if Ricky used the B-word:
"No, he didn't say that," she replied to me. "What he said was: "The heart of Ricky Martin... if it belong to a male or a female... I have never talked about it." Her question was: "To whom does Ricky Martin's heart belong?"
We're not shocked. But adding to the lameness is that the same magazine also ran a poll asking what readers thought of Ricky Martin's alleged bisexuality and one of the options was "He's All Man."
Now we don't wanna get all butt-sore about a dumb celebrity poll, but even if Ricky Martin was the biggest ass-queen of all time it shouldn't make him any less of a man. In fact, after seeing some power bottoms swallow parking cones, entire fists, and cinderblocks with their anuses, we consider their asses a million times more manly than ours (our asses are lined with pink silk roses).
After that, we wondered just what the hell else a "bisexuality examiner" examines and found this weird list of headlines:
Cockroaches make great bisexual dads
Bi penguin couple become parents at German zoo
Ted Casablanca talks bisexual shenanigans among 'Twilight' cast
New book calls Paul Newman a bi guy, confirming secret affair with James Dean
We know bisexuals get a bad rap as dirty hippies who'll sleep with anything, androgynous glam rockers, timid celebs who still want mass appeal, and self-promoters who see bisexuality as a stylish marketing angle. But maybe the world of bisexuality's crazier than we thought. Of course, if you want any of that here, it's QCX for you.

He admitted to being bisexual in that video. In spanish, many words have a gender component (ending in 'o' for male and 'a' for female, e.g., a male/female friend is amigo/amiga) and he used both the male and female versions of owner.
Not a big surprise, I personally think he is a full mo, not even bi.
In the context of "Is celebrity so and so gay, straight, or bi?" I interpret the answer "He's all man!" as a disregard of the question. It sounds to me like "I don't really care, let me at him!".
Maybe the context made it seem different?
