Red Carpet Report: Ricky Martin, Backstreet Boys, Charlie Hunnam, Wing Lei, Andrew Dice Clay
Superstar singer Ricky Martin is planning to bring his 8-year-old twin boys Valentino and Matteo with him for his upcoming Las Vegas headliner concert run and hopes that they will have playdates with Celine Dion or Jennifer Lopez’s twin children.
If not, the Puerto Rican heartthrob hopes that Britney Spears will have her two sons play host to Valentino and Matteo. Ricky, who will be here with his fiance, Jwan Yosef, told Dr. Oz that he wants to reach out to other Strip headliners to arrange playtime but wants help in doing it.
Ricky, whose hits include “Livin’ La Vida Loca” and “She Bangs,” also revealed that his kids will watch him each night of the run at the new Park Theater at Monte Carlo from April 5-15 and again June 23-July 2.
BACKSTREET PARTIES
If you want to get closer to The Backstreet Boys after their upcoming headliner concerts at Axis at Planet Hollywood, then you’re in luck and will be getting it your way after the bestselling boyband’s performances on select dates.
Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson have agreed to host “Larger Than Life” parties at the neighboring Chateau Rooftop Nightclub at Paris Las Vegas on March 1, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18 and again when they return in April through July.
