Ricky Martin fears snakes and eating seafood, in his spare time he writes poems in his diary, and although he hasn't lived in Puerto Rico for several years, the island remains special to his heart. ''I know that's where I want to die. Puerto Rico is home.'' |

Ricky Martin reeled from the standing ovation he got after performing La Copa de la Vida at the Grammy Awards. ''I guess with all those drums and passion that was flowing onstage, it made everybody dance,'' says the ex-Menudo member, 27, who won the Latin pop award for his album Vuelve. ''To get the acceptance of an audience is fascinating, and to get a Grammy is awesome and a motivation to do great stuff.'' (USA TODAY). |

Jonathan Antin, owner of Jonathan's, a West Hollywood salon, has been cutting and coloring Martin's hair for eight years, gradually shortening it from shoulder-length to the current, classic cropped style. ''When I first met Ricky, he had this really long Tarzan hair,'' Antin says. ''Over the years, we've gone shorter and shorter. It's a classic cut that can go with Armani or jeans, on a skateboarder or a Wall Street broker.'' |
