Ricky Martin Made Room In His Closet By Coming Out Of It

Source: www.GutterUncensoredPlus.com

Shocking news! You may want to sit down for this one because is is that unbelievable. You are not going to believe this, but Ricky Martin admitted that he is gay. Ricky Martin: "I am a fortunate homosexual man". You didn't see this one coming... don't lie! LOL.... After years of speculation over his sexual orientation, Ricky Martin has come out of the closet in a posting on his official website. You know that song She Bangs by Ricky Martin? It's full title was She Bangs, Although That’s Not Strictly Based On First-Hand Experience before they shorten it. Ricky Martin admitted yesterday on his website:

A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And thisis something worth celebrating.

For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that’s the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It’s my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don’t ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I’m at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I’m feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share.

Many people told me: “Ricky it’s not important”, “it’s not worth it”, “all the years you’ve worked and everything you’ve built will collapse”, “many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature”. Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.

If someone asked me today, “Ricky, what are you afraid of?” I would answer “the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war…child slavery, terrorism…the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith.” But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment.

These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed.

What will happen from now on? It doesn’t matter. I can only focus on what’s happening to me in this moment. The word “happiness” takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.

I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.

This is like the least shocking news in the history of mankind. Everybody knew he was gay. I really don't think he has been in the closet for at least five years. Still, at least Ricky Martin won't have to worry how his fans will react to this news. Not because they're all open-minded and respectful or anything like that, you understand, but because technically he hasn't had fans or had a successful album for about a decade. Anyway, ere are a few pictures of him at the beach with his lover from a few years back.

Congratulations to The New York Yankees and MVP Hideki Matsui

The New York Yankees Win 27th World Series Title Over the Phillies With Help From Godzilla.

The New York Yankees defeated the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 7-3, in game 6 Wednesday, to win the 2009 World Series, the championship round of North American Major League Baseball. Hideki Matsui a.k.a. Godzilla did all sorts of damage Wednesday night, setting a record with six RBIs in a World Series clincher and leading the New York Yankees over the Philadelphia Phillies by 4 runs. Matsui became the first Japanese-born player to win the award that started in 1955. He homered, doubled and singled, highlighting a Series in which he hit .615 with three home runs and eight RBIs.

Hideki Matsui - World Series MVP

And With Number 27, Your 2009 World Series Champion New York Yankees!

The Boston Herald report:

The Yankees’ World Series-clinching win Wednesday night did more than add to their collection of championship trophies. It also cemented them as the team of the decade.

From 2000-09, the Yankees won two titles - matching the Red Sox total - while capturing two additional American League pennants.

As commissioner Bud Selig likes to properly boast, baseball has far more parity than for which it gets credit. Thanks in part to the advent of revenue sharing, eight different teams won National League pennants this decade.

The AL had a similar stretch from 2002-06, when five franchises represented the league in the World Series: the Angels, Yankees, Red Sox, White Sox and Tigers.

But bookended around that span were, as always, the Yankees. They won more games, more division titles, more playoff spots, more playoff series and more pennants than any other organization.

When the history of this decade is written, it’s likely that the Red Sox’ 2004 championship will be the most remembered, for it ended 86 years of frustration and postseason futility. But that title stands out precisely because it was so rare.

And while the Yankees were as constant a presence in October as falling leaves, the Red Sox missed out on the postseason altogether in 2000, ’01, ’02 and ’06.

Two NL teams reached the World Series twice this decade: the Cardinals and Phillies. But each won just one championship and had spotty success in other seasons.

The Phillies didn’t qualify for the playoffs until 2007. The Cardinals, meanwhile, were inconsistent: When they weren’t in the postseason, they twice finished third and once finished fourth in the NL Central. St. Louis hasn’t won a playoff game of any sort since it clinched the 2006 World Series by beating the Tigers in Game 5.

Moreover, something of a sliding scale must be applied to NL teams. After all, it’s indisputable that the level of play there was, for much of the decade, inferior to that of the AL.

The only other AL club worthy of consideration for team of the decade is Los Angeles, which is perennially playoff-bound out of the AL West. But although the Angels reached the postseason in six seasons, they won just one pennant and often - this year being an exception - found themselves bounced in the Division Series by the Red Sox.

That brings the discussion back to a familiar framework: Red Sox vs. Yankees.

Had the Phillies found a way to defeat New York this year, a salient case could have been made that the Red Sox were the decade’s most dominant team.

A Phillies victory would have given them the same number of championships as the Sox, but the Phils were a late-decade phenomenon with half the number of playoff appearances as the Sox and a far lower winning percentage.

Instead, the Yankees won and tied the Sox for most championships while having double the number of pennants and eight division titles to their rivals’ one.

And about Hideki Matsui's MVP, FOXSports.com report:

Hideki Matsui took a meaty cut, watched the ball fly and winced when it hooked a foot foul. That's about all that went wrong for him.

Matsui put the world in World Series MVP, earning the award by homering, doubling, singling and driving in six runs Wednesday night as the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 to claim their 27th championship.

Matsui became the first Japanese-born player to win the award that started in 1955. He hit .615 (8 for 13) with three home runs and eight RBIs. His performance in Game 6 matched the record for RBIs in a Series game. No one, however, had done it in a clincher.

"It's awesome," Matsui said through a translator. "Unbelievable. I'm surprised myself."

Standing on a podium in shallow center field, Matsui waved his new championship hat and shook hands with commissioner Bud Selig. Matsui won three titles in Japan and was eager to celebrate his first in the Bronx.

"I guess it's hard to make a comparison. When I was in Japan, that was the ultimate goal. Being here, winning the World Series, becoming world champions, that's what you strive for here."

"You could say that I guess this is the best moment of my life right now," he said. "It's been a long road and very difficult journey."

Matsui's two-run drive off Pedro Martinez in the second inning put the Yankees ahead for good. Nicknamed "Godzilla" back home, Matsui sent a shot to right field that banged off an advertisement on the facing of the second deck - fittingly, it was a sign for the Japanese company Komatsu, which makes mining and construction equipment.

After his hard foul, Matsui added a two-run single in the third and lined a two-run double off the right-center field wall in the fifth. The giant videoboard in center field showed fans holding Japanese signs and while the sellout crowd roared, he stood placidly at second base.

Fans cheered when Matsui's feat, matching Bobby Richardson's 1960 mark for RBIs in any Series game, was posted on the scoreboard.

Matsui drew a standing ovation when he came to bat in the seventh, and chants of "MVP! MVP!" bounced around the ballpark.

"He hit everything we threw up there," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.

Praised Yankees captain Derek Jeter: "Man, he looked like he wanted it bad, didn't he?"

"Matsu is one of my favorite players, one of my favorite teammates. He comes ready to play every day. He's a professional hitter," he said.

Watching Game 6 on TV in Tokyo, Masanori Murakami echoed that sentiment. He was the first Japanese player in the majors, in 1964 with San Francisco, and fully appreciated the magnitude of Matsui's honor.

"Ichiro Suzuki has had many accomplishments, but they've all been in the regular season. As the first Japanese to win an MVP in the World Series, this is a great accomplishment for Matsui and will have a huge impact," Murakami said.

"New York is a tough place to play, so this is a great achievement for him given all he has been through with injuries and missing time," he said.

Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher hollered Matsui's name during the clubhouse party.

"Matsu," Swisher yelled. "They're partying in Tokyo tonight, I know that. Man, what a great job Matsu did for us, been coming up clutch for us in situations all year long. He deserved that MVP trophy. There's no doubt about it."

An outfielder by trade, Matsui hasn't played the field since June 15, 2008, because of bad knees. He hit .274 this year with 28 homers and 90 RBIs, and wasn't much of a force in the AL playoffs against Minnesota and the Los Angeles Angels.

That changed against the defending champion Phillies.

Now strictly a DH and pinch-hitter because of his knees, Matsui accomplished a lot in a hurry. His 13 at-bats tied Baltimore's Rick Dempsey in 1983 for the fewest by a Series MVP (nonpitchers only, naturally), according to STATS LLC.

Matsui became the first player to win the award as a full-time DH in the Series. Toronto DH Paul Molitor played in the field when the Blue Jays won the 1993 title.

Matsui's eight RBIs were the most in a World Series since Reggie Jackson had the same total in 1977 and 1978.

"Just wonderful," Jackson said. "He struggles to play the field now. Great, great player. Represents his country well. He's a gentleman. He's a class act. Great player and to put on a performance like that in what may be his last time in Yankee Stadium, you just tip your cap and enjoy it."

Matsui left Japan and signed with the Yankees in 2003. At 35, his greatest achievement might've come in his final game in pinstripes.

This year wrapped up Matsui's $52 million, four-year contract. It remains to be seen what the aging Yankees will do with him. Whatever happens, he certainly left his mark.

"I hope so. I hope it works out that way," he said. "I love New York, I love the Yankees."

Jenson Button wins Formula One world title after dramatic Brazilian Grand Prix

It was announced on December 5, 2008 that Honda would be exiting Formula One with immediate effect due to the current economic crisis and were looking to sell the team. On 5 March 2009, it was announced that the former Honda Racing F1 team would become Brawn GP, following a buy-out by Ross Brawn, the previous team principal of Honda Racing. Today Brawn GP and it's driver Jenson Button are Constructors' Championships and Drivers' Championships respectfully. Someone at Honda headquarters in Japan is having the worse day ever.

JensonButton.com : Jenson Button

Jenson Button is known as an legendary womanizer in the past and his new status as a Formula One Drivers' Champion will no doubt add to his womanizing! I am fucking jealous just think of the hot model ass he is going to be scoring now. He is already scoring hot model ass but if we learn a lesson from the history of his career, with success comes upgrades. Just ask his then long time girlfriend Kim Keay who was dump his first year in F1. His current girlfriend is Jessica Michibata, 23 year-old half-Japanese model from Fukui prefecture, who is best known as a lingerie model for Japanese lingerie maker Peach John. Jessica is half Argentinian (Spanish/Italian) and half Japanese and has appeared in TV commercials for Ellis, Uniqlo Evian,Willcom and DTC Diamond Line. And now she is endangered of being kick to the curb like Jenson's at the time he first found success in F1. Below ate pictures of his girlfriends starting with the lady of the moment then his previous conquests. Click on pictures to enlarge.

About Jenson's winning the championship today, the Guardian.co.uk report:

Jenson Button has secured his maiden Formula One world championship for Brawn GP in the penultimate race of the season as Red Bull's Mark Webber won the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Button took fifth place as his team-mate and rival Rubens Barrichello finished eighth and Sebastian Vettel - the only other driver capable of winning the crown - finished in fourth position.

Webber, who had been running second in the early stages, took the lead after his first stop and did not relinquish it as the Red Bull proved the quickest car around Interlagos. Barrichello's grip on the race was loosened when he lost places after his first stop, crucially to BMW's Robert Kubica, who finished second. The Brazilian, who had started from pole position, lost third place with ten laps to go as a storming Lewis Hamilton - who started from 18th place after a disaster in the rain-hit qualifying session - benefitted from an early safety car period. Barrichello then suffered further disappointment with a puncture in the dying laps, being forced to pit and rejoin in eighth.

Button had also benefitted from the safety car to make up places early on, showing his determination with a great move to pass Renault's Romain Grosjean after which he also picked off Williams' Kazuki Nakajima. Button pitted for the first time on lap 29, a clean stop bringing him out in tenth with two cars ahead still to pit. A fantastic move on Sebastien Buemi a few laps later, outbraking him into turn one, brought Button seventh place. Barrichello, lying fourth, had all the work to do but his race unravelled and he was unable to keep his title hopes alive.

Vettel had done his best to stay in the hunt be taking a very long first stint and would be satisfied with his fourth place, even though Button's finishing position meant the title was out of his grasp. Given Barrichello's bad luck, it meant the Red Bull driver overtook him for second in the standings with a race to go.

The opening laps of the grand prix were filled with incident as first an off-track fight almost erupted between Jarno Trulli and Adrian Sutil. Replays appeared to show Force India's Sutil forcing Trulli wide onto the grass, causing the Toyota to lose control and slide off into the barriers, tagging Sutil along the way. Sutil also ended up in the gravel trap and had to face a fuming Trulli in a discussion that almost became physical.

A lap later Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was caught in a flash fire in the pit lane. The Finn had pitted to receive a new nose cone after tagging the back of Red Bull's Mark Webber. Ahead of him, earlier spinner Heikki Kovalainen was leaving the pits but with the fuel hose still attached to his McLaren. Fuel sprayed over the hot Ferrari, which was briefly engulfed in flames, although Raikkonen was unhurt and carried on.

Final points standings:

Jenson Button, 89

Sebastian Vettel, 74

Rubens Barrichello, 72

Jenson Alexander Lyons Button (born January 19, 1980 in Frome, Somerset, England) is a British Formula One World champion from England, currently driving for the Brawn GP team and 2009 Formula One World Champion. He first drove in Formula One in the 2000 season, with the Williams team, switching in 2001 to Benetton, which in 2002 became Renault F1. After two years with the Enstone-based squad, he moved to BAR in 2003. They were subsequently renamed Honda for the 2006 season, during which Button won his first Grand Prix in Hungary, on 6 August 2006, after 113 races. Following the withdrawal of Honda from the sport in December 2008, he was left without a drive for the 2009 season, until Ross Brawn led a management buyout of the team in February 2009, and Button suddenly found himself in a highly competitive, Mercedes-engined car. He went on to win six of the first seven races of the 2009 season, equalling a record achieved by only two other drivers, Michael Schumacher and Jim Clark. Although the current season is still in progress, he has amassed enough points over his rivals to secure the 2009 FIA world drivers championship.

Button began karting at the age of eight, after his father bought him his first kart, and made an extraordinarily successful start. He won all 34 races of the 1991 British Cadet Kart Championship, along with the title. Further successes followed, including three triumphs in the British Open Kart Championship. In 1997, he became the youngest driver ever to win the European Super A Championship, and won the Aryton Senna Memorial Cup as well, precipitating a move into car racing.

Aged 18, Button contested the British Formula Ford Championship with Haywood Racing and won the title, with nine race wins. He also triumphed in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, ahead of future Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon. At the end of 1998, he won the annual McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver Award. His prize included a test in a McLaren Formula One car, which he received at the end of the following year.

Button entered Formula Three in 1999, with the Promatecme team. He won three times - at Thruxton, Pembrey and Silverstone - and finished the season as top rookie driver. He was third overall in the championship, behind Marc Hynes and Luciano Burti, and finished fifth and second respectively in the Marlboro Masters and Macau Grand Prix (0.035s behind winner Darren Manning in the latter).
