“I Land” has landed in Manila! I Land is a one-man off-Broadway show featuring acclaimed actor and hula dancer Keo Woolford. (Yes, you read that right, he is a hula dancer.)

So what is “I Land” and why is there so much buzz about it? “I Land” is Keo Woolford’s moving search for the meaning of heritage in a post-modern world weaving together traditional Hawaiian hula, Hip-Hop, Hawaiian talk story and spoken word.

This show is loosely based on Woolford’s life from searching for his heritage to his first exposure to the hula and how he came under the instruction of his Kumu master (hula teacher). The show also describes his fleeting brush with fame as a member of the almost-famous Hawaiian boyband Brownskin. “I Land” also exposes his subsequent descent into a world of drugs and partying and his rising up from those by rediscovering the dance that connects him both to his culture and to himself.

I got the chance to do an interview with him and boy was it a fun learning experience. Contrary to popular belief and stereotypes, men do hula too! In fact, as Keo shares in the interview below, pre-colonial Hawaii had a lot of male hula dancers.

“People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying,” he argues. “What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.” – Brad Pitt on W Magazine

Brad Pitt FTW! If you didn’t know, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie contributed $100,000 last year to California’s “No on Prop 8” campaign.  Not only that, he says that they will not get married until marriage rights are available to all. Go Brangelina!

Hottie Ricky Martin is now a father to twins.  Taray, right? 

So who’s the mother, you might ask? Who’s the lucky bitch? Uhm, I personally think she’s just partially lucky as little Ricky never went to explore the insides of her foaming vulva.

People Magazine reports that Ricky Martin’s representative confirmed with them that the twins were a result of gestational surrogacy:

“In recent weeks, Ricky Martin became a proud father by the birth of twin sons,” his rep tells PEOPLE. 

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care,” the rep said in a statement. “Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

The boys’ names and the location of their birth have not been released.

For those of you who are not familiar with Gestational Surrogacy, here’s some info from Wikipedia:

In gestational surrogacy (aka the Host method) the surrogate becomes pregnant via embryo transfer with a child of which she is not the biological mother. She may have made an arrangement to relinquish it to the biological mother or father to raise, or to a parent who is themselves unrelated to the child (e. g. because the child was conceived using egg donation,sperm donation or is the result of a donated embryo). The surrogate mother may be called the gestational carrier.

Dear friends, it was not immaculate conception that happened to Ricky Martin.  It was gestational surrogacy.  

So Ricky Martin is now a certified father (and by certified, we’re not talking about the one that some people use in their online social network profiles: “cErtIfiEd hoTtie” or “cErtiFieD ToP”)!
