Ricky Martin Bullied by Twitter Users
he singer revealed that he was inundated with nasty messages after he came out as gay earlier this year.
Ricky Martin became a target for online bullies when he 'came out' as gay earlier this year - he has received a barrage of hateful messages on social networking site Twitter.com. The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer revealed his homosexuality in March, before publicly thanking his fans for their support and acceptance following the revelation.
But Martin admits he has also been inundated with nasty messages over the internet. He tells U.S. TV host Larry King, "I am bullied today... It's very weird because, you know, I'm a Twitter fan. And I check my messages all the time, and you can get 100 messages of love. And you're very happy. And then you get that one message of a hater (sic) and... if you're (having) a bad day it ruins your afternoon. It's so sad that there is still hate out there."
But despite receiving the hateful posts, Martin insists he is still a big fan of social networking because it allows him to communicate with his fans. He adds, "For me, networking is amazing... (It gives you) an immediate reaction of what's going on out there."
"And in fact, when I was recording my music I would let them know what I was learning, what I was listening (to), and they would say, 'I love this, I don't.' It's very interesting. Networking is a new way. It's a new era."

Preview of Oprah Winfrey's Interview With the Jacksons

Preview of Oprah Winfrey's Interview With the Jacksons
Oprah keeps the balance between light and heavy questions when interviewing Katherine and Joe Jackson as well as their grandchildren in their Encino compound.
When Oprah Winfrey secured a world exclusive interview with Michael Jackson's family, she is not one to waste the rare opportunity. In a preview of the November 8 episode, Oprah threw daring questions to Katherine and Joe Jackson, including who told the children that their father died and whether Joe thinks Michael was afraid of him as a child.
But it looks like the interview is not going to be all intense. Oprah told Katherine that she was once hoping to be her daughter-in-law. Coincidentally, this Thursday, Oprah aired an episode where she met her teen heartthrob, Jackie Jackson, who is Michael's older brother. Oprah would also meet the kids, Paris, Prince and Blanket and chat with them in the dining room and the backyard over lemonade.
The special "The Oprah Winfrey Show" episode is already generating buzz over its air date. Many condemned the producers for airing it back-to-back with a child molestation episode (Friday). Oprah's team insisted that it was pure "coincidental" but Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California group is still not happy.
"We are both angry and disappointed in Oprah's constant need to reference child molestation shows prior to airing Michael Jackson related episodes," a rep of the group told TMZ. "Her tone seems to speak volumes... How can something so obvious be a coincidence?"

Mario Cleared of Assault Charges
His mom who called on police after he reportedly shoved her, has asked the judge in the case to dismiss it.
An assault charge against Mario has been dropped after his troubled mother asked a judge to dismiss the case against the R&B singer on Wednesday, November 3. The "Let Me Love You" hitmaker was taken into custody and charged with second degree assault last month after his mum, Shawntia Hardaway, told police he had been damaging property at their home in Baltimore, Maryland and had reportedly shoved her.
Hardaway, a former heroin addict, also claimed Mario had been violent towards her just days before his arrest. Mario was released on $50,000 bail and spoke out publicly to back his mother, who is reportedly battling an alcohol problem. He said, "I love my mother very much... I will continue to support her any way that I can."
Hardaway went before a Baltimore judge on Wednesday to admit she had been drinking at the time of their altercation and requested that the case against her son be dropped - and prosecutors agreed. The singer has vowed to continue "supporting his mother" as she battles her personal issues, according to his lawyer, William Murphy III.
He tells the Baltimore Sun, "Anyone who has waged the battle to save loved ones from the forces of drugs knows the irrational behavior that almost always accompanies their actions. Mario remains committed to supporting his mother."
"It was clear from the beginning that Mario never touched or struck his mother. She was under the influence of drugs when she gave her statement to police. To her credit, she corrected her statement in court today."
