Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj have been named the new faces of MAC's Viva Glam lipstick.

The unlikely pairing will have their own brands of lipstick - the Viva Glam Ricky and the Viva Glam Nicki - available through the range, all profits from which go to help fighting HIV and AIDS.

Ricky Martin has to "force" himself to go out and have fun now he is a father.

The gay singer - who became a dad to twins Matteo and Valentino through a surrogate mother in August 2008 - is much more content staying at home with his sons and partner Carlos Gonzalez than going out partying these days.

Ricky Martin plans to have a daughter next year.

The gay singer - who has twin sons Matteo and Valentino, two, through a surrogate mother - plans to expand his family further once he has completed a stint in 'Evita' on New York's Broadway in 2012.

Ricky Martin was scared to come out as gay because he thought homosexuality was "evil".

The 'Livin' La Vida Loca' singer revealed his sexuality last year in an emotional message on his website and admits it took him years to be honest with his fans and himself because of societal and career pressures.
