Ricky Martin Named Puerto Rican Parade King
The 50th Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade goes down June 10 in NYC.
Ricky Martin, ex-Menudo boy wonder and present boricuan pop man-hunk, has been chosen to lead the 50th annual Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC. He was crowned King not only for his renown as PR's all-time best-selling musician, but for his charitable work across the world. "I am honored and very humbly accept the invitation to participate in the 50th anniversary of the national Puerto Rican parade," said Martin in a press release.
According to the parade committee president Madelyn Lugo, he earned the honor because "He has always expressed his pride as a Puerto Rican and a Latino. He has served as one of our greatest ambassadors, and we can't think of a better role model to honor as the King of the Parade."
The National Puerto Rican Pride Day Parade is scheduled for June 10 in New York City.

Is this for the Gay Pride Parade? Ricky would really be in his zone then. Maybe he should dress in drag and come as J LO? maybe?

Was it really necessary to call Mr. Martin a pop man-hunk ? I don't know what that is supposed to mean but it's demeaning. Have you even listened to his recent double platinum Unplugged CD ? I doubt it. He is an adult person now , not a pop kid and he deserves respect.
