Ricky Martin & Darren Criss Teaser Promos For Upcoming “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace”

FX is ramping up the promotion for the second season of Ryan Murphy’s true crime anthology, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

The second season of ACS will focus on the vicious shooting death of designer Gianni Versace on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion.

The cast couldn’t get much more A-List: Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace,  Ricky Martin as Antonio D’Amico, Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan, and Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace.

The first season of the series, The People v. O. J. Simpson, racked up 22 Emmy nominations and celebrated 9 wins including “Outstanding Limited Series.”

The network recently dropped two short promo videos.

The first features Ramirez relaxing poolside as Criss emerges from the water behind him. The cinematography is gorgeous.

And in a clip titled “Partner Preview,” Ricky Martin (who stars as Versace’s lover Antonio D’Amico) hears guns shots outside their fabulous Miami mansion and runs to investigate.

The home, which now operates as a boutique hotel, was the location for the entire series shoot.

Watch for American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace to debut on FX January 17.

Ricky Martin Talks About His Upcoming Gay Role On American Crime Story

Ricky Martin, Penelope Cruz, Darren Criss, and Edgar Ramirez recently gave interviews to Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming Ryan Murphy series The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story due to arrive in TV land in 2018.

Ricky portrays Versace’s longtime partner Antonio D’Amico. The role is the latin popstar’s first gay role and will feature his first gay sex scene.

Says Martin, “We’re going to go mainstream with a story that talks about homophobia, that talks about hate, that talks about indifference. I feel humbled. It’s so raw and honest and so dramatic and sad. But at the same time you show the love of Gianni and Antonio and 15 years of struggling, fighting. It’s something that I really wanted to be loud about.”

Ricky Martin On Coming Out: “I’ve Been The Happiest Man Ever Since!”

Ricky Martin


CBS Sunday Morning profiled out and proud pop star Ricky Martin yesterday as he opens his new residency at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas.

Ricky was particularly poignant when discussing the coming out process for him, and what kept him in the closet.

From the segment:

“I was afraid of rejection, ’cause unfortunately, first of all, for many years everyone, a lot of people told me that my feelings were evil — ‘What you’re feeling is not godly.’ If I’m feeling this, I’m not a good person.

“No more of that. I’m a good person. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with me. No. No. Enough. Not more of that. And I’ve been the happiest man ever since!”

Watch the segment below.

Las Vegas: Ricky Martin Opens ALL IN Residency At Monte Carlo

(via Instagram)

Ricky Martin opened his new residency All In at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas last night where Ricky and the audience were seriously “Livin La Vida Loca!”

Great, high energy throughout the show; Ricky looked like a million bucks (costumes by DSQUARED2 designers Dean and Dan Caten); and I loved the aerial couples (mixed and same-sex) during “She’s All I Ever Had.”

Check out shots and video clips from last night below:

Ricky Martin Gets Engaged

The Ellen Show’s audience were the very first to hear the news that Ricky Martin is engaged!

The world-famous singer told Ellen about his new fiancé, artist Jwan Yosef, and how they first met.

“He’s a conceptional artist and I’m a collector so I started looking for art and I saw his art and I went crazy because I really love what he does. Really original,” Martin said. “And then I contacted him.”

He then went on to talk about his two children, Matteo and Valentino, and his newly announced residency at the new Park Theater at Monte Carlo in Las Vegas beginning early next year.

Ricky Martin Confirms New BF Jwan Yosef – “Yup”

A photo posted by Ricky (@ricky_martin) on Apr 15, 2016 at 9:59pm PDT

While Ricky Martin hasn’t previously confirmed that he’s seeing Swedish artist Jwan Yosef, I’m guessing the “Yup” caption on this pic from Brazil is his casual way of sharing the news.

Martin has been spotted all over the globe with Yosef, from Japan to Malibu to New York to Puerto Rico in recent weeks.
