That is awesome of Ricky. He has gained a lot of my respect for doing this.
how SICK.. I’ve heard of many people using this for their own profit..scamming people and such… but now a celebrity does it? How disgusting.
How is he profiting?
uh..publicity.
Regardless, he is helping people by going there…’, ‘I think he’s also going to give money through his foundation. Is there a reason you think it’s only for publicity?
WOW, AREN’T YOU CYNICAL, JUST BECAUSE HE IS A SINGER DOESN’T MEAN HE’S NOT A HUMAN’, ‘COME ON, EVEN SINGERS, ACTORS ARE HUMAN AND WANT TO HELP OUT PPL WHO HAVE BEEN AS DEVASTATED AS THOSE IN ASIA. HAVE A LITTLE HEART BLUEFACED.
BlueFace,look at yourself in the mirror,your face is totally blue from anger.You must be a miserable,narrow minded,suspicious soul who see only negative aspect of every charitable action. GHY!
I must say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the news like this at this page. Something different from the all “rubbish” rumours about Britney’s husbands, this lovers and that lovers, this naked and that naked, all those fights between B. and C. fans, etc. The “normal” reader would have a feeling that the page has been visited only by under age adolescents with a very low demand for a quality “stuff” about the celebrities and if there is a one, nobody even care. What’s the problem with you, guys? Anyway I must congratulate popdirt to bring something different here and make me happy and hopefully will see more good news about Ricky Martin in the near future!
I would go with Ricky and hold,help those poor children,I cry whenever I watch TV,such a horror,OMG,thanks Ricky for going there and trying to give your helping hand if it’s needed and there is a need for this kind of exceptional person like RM is……… God bless RM!
