Bombshell: Ricky Martin Is Gay [Holy Shit]

Though long believed to be the hips-swivelingest, child-adoptingest, Miami-livingest, women-never-datingest straight pop star in town, Ricky Martin has revealed today, on his website , that he is a gay person who does gay things. “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am,” he says at the end of a long missive on the site. Congrats, Ricky! What a nice change from this quote from back in the day: If I were gay, why not admit it?…I am a normal man. I love women and sex. I am a real hot-blooded Puerto Rican, but I have never been attracted by sex with a man. Anyway, we know that this is terribly surprising and that many people’s entire worldview will be forever altered because of this event, so we have counselors on hand in case you need to talk or cry or just sit together and reflect.

Times Publisher Parties in Phoenix While Paper Gets Pinched [Out Of Touch]

A provocative bar scene involving Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and his female companion helped whip gossip about the pair into a frenzy, according to a journalism-conference spy. As if the New York Times publisher needed to seem more provocative. A business journalism conference in Phoenix last week was rife with rumors about Sulzberger and Katherine Kristof , a CBS MoneyWatch columnist with whom Sulzberger was seen getting “friendly,” as we reported last week. We’d heard the pair were together for much of the weekend. Another conference participant says gossip about the two turned especially dirty after Sulzberger and Kristof were seen at the bar at Phoenix’s downtown Sheraton hotel, following a conference awards dinner at the Heard Museum Saturday night. Kristof, who shared a table with Sulzberger at the dinner, is said to have stayed conspicuously close to Sulzberger from the moment he arrived at the bar. That only made her and Sulzberger’s later disappearance from the establishment all the more noticeable. The rumor mill went into overdrive with chatter, circulating throughout the day Sunday, that the pair was, if not in a relationship, then at least having some casual fun. Even if the most salacious of the rumors are true — and media wags have been wrong about Sulzberger’s love live before — there’s no big scandal to hide here. Sulzberger announced a separation from his wife two years ago, and Kristof is apparently single. But it would be advisable these days for Sulzberger to tone down any public partying with his babe, or to at least remove it from rooms filled with the cream of the business press corps. His executive team just doled out $12 million or so in bonuses, hiking his own pay to $5.9 million (and either doubling it or raising it 32 percent , depending who you ask). Staffers are said to be up in arms over the payouts amid layoffs at the Times and pay cuts at the New York Times Company’s Boston Globe . There’s no need to bait the scolds with any evidence of indiscretion. On the other hand, some more public hookups just might shut up the juvenile sucker punchers who lay out the Weekend Journal . We’d enjoy that.

Who Is the American Hero Who Yelled "Baby Killer" During the Health Care Debate? [Heroes]

So, somebody apparently yelled ” Baby Killer ” at pro-life Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak while he spoke against the anti-abortion amendment he proposed to the health care bill. Now the world wonders: Who is this heroic Baby Killer Guy ? Update Here is where the person yelled “Baby Killer” Bart Stupak is of course one of the millions of things that threatened to derail the health care bill via his Stupak Amendment, which would have proposed super tight restrictions on abortions. Obama convinced him to change his mind, and his fellow Pro-lifers were angry. “Baby Killer”-level angry. Luke Russert reported on MSNBC that the brave legislator who shouted this during Stupak’s speech in favor of health care reform sounded “like he had a southern accent.” Now, Max Blumenthal , author of Republican Gommorah tweets that he hears it was California Republican George Radanovich who shouted the words that should rally a new generation to greatness. And so does at least one Wikipedian: “Baby Killer.” BABY KILLER! Say it out loud. Really cherish those four syllables as they roll off the tongue, for they may just change the world. In fact, as you lie in the arms of your loved one tonight, celebrating the health care bill in carnal fashion, we urge you to scream at the top of your lungs during climax: BABY KILLER! BABY KILLLLERRRRRRRRRR! Update: Nobody wants to be Baby killer guy! Over at Talking Points Memo , Christina Bellatoni interviewed California Republican John Campbell, who was one of the names tossed around as potential Baby Killer Guy. He told her it wasn’t anyone from California (which would of course rule out Radanovich): That is where the Texans sit. Californians are in one row, Teaxans sit behind us. I am being told t’s a Texan. The people who know won’t give it up. (Sic) Fess up, Baby Killer Guy, so we can get your face tattooed on our back!

NYT Accidentally Posts Nasty Editor Note About Wedding Announcement [Oops]

Oops! A partially edited version of Danielle Cohen and Jonathan Segal ‘s wedding announcement made it onto the internet today, full of {cq}’s and desperation over how to describe a housewife. The early version, screenshot by noble comment warrior MockerStalker , includes a paragraph that appears to be a note between the writer and editor fretting over how to identify the groom’s mother. It appears they contemplated identifying Mrs. Segal as a sixth-grade teacher, a job she held in 1975, making it difficult to factcheck. The final edition leaves poor Mrs. Segal out entirely, because if one does not have an easily identifiable job, philanthropic hobby, or tony employer, one does not exist at all to the Vows page. If Mrs. Segal would like someone to commemorate her contribution to raising 28-year-old Jonathan Segal, “vice president of Highbridge Capital Management, a hedge fund in New York,” I will happily do so. Write in .

Sandra Bullocks’ Husband’s Neo-Nazi Friends [Racist Friends]

Jesse James ‘ mistress did a sexy Nazi photo shoot and reportedly has White Power mementos on her skin and in her home. His ex-wife is married to a reported skinhead. How many neo-Nazis can you date without being one? Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee denies being a white supremacist: Her sexy Nazi photo shoot was for fetishists, she says, and the W P tattooed on the backs of her thighs ( click image to enlarge ) stands not for “white power” but the revolting-in-a-different-way “wet pussy.” She says, “Jesse and I had a conversation about it and he says a lot of his friends have the tattoo.” (Is that an inside joke? That statement could use context, including an updated assessment on McGee’s believability. She has said she’s Amish as well as a third-generation French Canadian . Is that even possible?) Suing for custody of their children, her ex-husband said she had “child block magnets on the refrigerator that spell out ‘White Power’,” and that her older son from a different relationship “is Jewish and she think it’s funny that she makes the Nazi salute.” Then we have Jesse’s ex-wife Janine Lindemulder , porn star and mother of his child ren . Her new husband is Jeremy Aikman , a multiple-time felon and reportedly ” an admitted skinhead .” Jesse and Sandra fought to revoke Lindemulder’s custody, citing her marriage to Aikman as evidence of a negative environment for children. (Or, um, anyone.) So Jesse James has a degree of separation from these people—but why are there so many of them in the first place? How naive could he have been to his friends’ racist and antisemitic ties and leanings? Finally, Crushable notes concern over Jesse’s West Coast Choppers logo resembling Germany’s Iron Cross, which appears in Nazi memorabilia. (Albeit elsewhere, too.) Are we whipping ourselves into a paranoid frenzy, or is this guy uncomfortably close to the white supremacy movement? Way to harsh our racially harmonious Blind Side mellow, Jesse.

Diary of a Madman: Meet Justin Massler, Ivanka Trump’s Stalker [Crime]

A 27-year-old Reno native named Justin Massler was arrested yesterday for stalking Ivanka Trump . News reports have described Massler as an obsessed fan with “a crush” on the socialite/heiress. His vicious tweets and violent comics suggest otherwise. Massler’s Twitter account has been deleted, but a cached version contains a string of angry messages directed at Trump. On March 2nd, Ivanka posted a photo of herself at an event for the launch of the UN Foundation’s Girl Up campaign. Massler responded with 14 tweets calling Trump “a diseased elitist and part of the problem” and saying her work with the UN was “as bad as appointing Hitler to head a charity for Jewish Hospitals.” He also vowed to “destroy your entire jewelry enterprises with a brand destruction media campaign.” Back in February, before he started sending her nasty messages on Twitter, Massler created the ” Ivanka Trump Fan Blog .” The blog only contains two entries. The first is a fawning ode to Ivanka that references her “intensely alluring beauty and impossibly shapely figure” and ends with a love poem. A few hours later, Massler put up a second post featuring a bizarre comic illustrating what would befall him if Ivanka denied his overture. Massler’s deleted tweets, comics and poetry are below.

Finally: Gross Details About the John Edwards Sex Tape [Lawsuits]

” The Daily Beast can now describe ” the John Edwards sex tape “in detail, based on accounts from multiple people who have watched it….” Good morning! Let’s just get right to it: On the video, both participants are naked. Hunter is propped up against the hotel bed headboard, with John Edwards belly-down on the bed between her legs. As Hunter, the campaign’s official videographer, holds the camera, a smiling Edwards performs oral sex. Because of the camera angle, Hunter’s face is not visible, but her distinctive jewelry is. Not only does candidate Edwards know he’s being filmed, one source says, he’s also clowning around and “graphically performing for the camera.” There you go. Oh, another important detail: one of the Daily Beast ‘s sources who watched the video has “a medical background and has worked with pregnant patients” (maybe this is the same source who said the president might be on Provigil! ) and this source says Rielle Hunter appears to be four or five months pregnant, which would date the video to September or October of 2007. Because Rielle Hunter is suing Andrew Young to regain possession of this video, Young will now force Hunter and Edwards himself to sit for depositions, which will be wonderfully embarrassing. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Edwards is sending Andrew Young very mean emails. She says she will definitely live long enough to sue him and win. And then there is this: Andrew Young actually turned over more items than the court order demanded. Included in the stash were eight photographs, the video sex tape, copies of the tape, a Hunter document entitled “The Slut Club,” and other items. “The Slut Club” is apparently a list of 34 men’s names that Rielle wrote at some point for some reason. A very important legal document for a very important legal case.
