Ricky Martin a father of twin boys

New York – There won’t be much “livin’ la vida loca” for Ricky Martin these days – he’s now the father of twin boys.

The Latin superstar had the children via a surrogate mother, and the babies were born a few weeks ago, according to a statement from his representatives.

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” said the statement. “Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

A representative said there was no further information on the details of the children’s birth.

Martin, 36, is a multiplatinum singer who is best known for English-language hits like “She Bangs!” and “Livin’ la Vida Loca.” In recent years, the Puerto Rican star has been active in charitable efforts, including the prevention of sexual exploitation of children.

Airport not ready to be renamed for Hayes

Memphis, Tenn. – Officials at Memphis International Airport say they probably won’t change the airport’s name to honor the late singer Isaac Hayes.

During a memorial service for Hayes on Monday, U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen publicly suggested changing the name of the airport.

Airport board chairman Arnold Perl told The Commercial Appeal newspaper that Memphis is one of the most respected and recognized brands in the world.

Perl said Hayes was a great ambassador for Memphis, but the current airport name best serves the city’s needs.

Hayes died Aug. 10 of an apparent stroke at age 65.

Cohen said Tuesday he was drafting a letter to the Airport Authority formally making the suggestion to change the airport name.
