OH, RICKY YOU'RE SO FINE: Never thought I would ever say the following words: Ricky Martin sent me a message (see above).

It came via Twitter and was a direct message from the Latin-heartthrob-who-just-came-out-of-the-closet to me.

Yes, me. I know! Hard to believe, right? And the fact it came on April 1st doesn't help.

But, here are the facts.

That evening I tweeted @theonetruebix with the following: "bout time U finally came out..what were you waiting for @ricky_martin ? It was in response to bix's tweet: "I'm gay." "I will make you gayer."

I never heard from bix. But, about an hour and half later I got the following message from Ricky: "im very happy! http://bit.ly/rmlife." The link goes to his website, specifically to the section where he comes out as a "fortunate homosexual man."

I freaked when I realized it was Ricky who responded. And, frankly, didn't believe it.

But word is Ricky's been following his Twitter account pretty closely ever since he came out.

Still, I have no clue why, out of the thousands of tweets about him, he decided to respond to that particular one.

So what was my response? Did I follow up with probing questions about his life, boyfriend and children?

No, I just said, "I am very happy for you, too!" He's already removed that response from his messages.

Sigh. Living La Vida Twitter.
