| Ricky Martin too shy to approach women

|
Ricky Martin claims he's too shy to approach women - but doesn't usually have
to bother.
He says the perception that he's a womaniser is completely wrong, as he would
never make the first move.
The singer has re-appeared on the music scene after a three year break with
his new all-Spanish album Almas del Selencio.
When asked if he would ask a woman out, he told German FHM: "Absolutely not.
I'm much too shy for that - I could never approach a woman."
But he added: "I usually don't have to make the first move." He said he likes
women to have nice eyes and hands.

| Ricky Martin gets spiritual by talking to
himself
 |
Ricky Martin has admitted he talks to himself in the mirror every night as
part of a spiritual search.
He has taken time out over the last two years to try and gain a better
understanding of himself.
The star adds that he also reads through a list of 300 feelings before going
to sleep to identify which of them he has experienced that day.
He told German magazine Amica: "I stand in front of the mirror and say:
'Okay, now without the whole s*** - forget the damned cameras and the
journalists, forget the stage - who are you?'
"In the last two years I have really concentrated on myself. Before when my
job made me sick I beat myself up about it as though I myself was my worst
enemy.
"I was very obsessive as far as my work was concerned because I could only
get rid of my anger on the stage.
"It was my narcotic - a sort of drug against all the bad feelings."

Ricky Martin's new girlfriend says he is fantastic in bed.
The singer has been dating Latvian model Ines Misan for the past two months.
The couple have been seen out together in Italy and London.
Misan told the New York
Post: "I'm not supposed to talk about this, but on a scale of 1 to 10, I'll
give him a 20."
"He's all man," she says.
Misan spoke out in an effort to dispel the rumours about Martin's sexuality:
"It's so untrue. It's like a joke. I wish every man were so gay."
She says the couple enjoy spending time on their own: "We usually stay behind
closed doors, I can't say much more than that. He's very private about his
personal life and I'd like to keep it that way."
