We're already planning our trip to NYC for this one!

Evita is back on Broadway!! And Ricky Martin comes with it as Che Guevara!

Up above is a wonderful little first look into the production, taking U right behind the scenes into the stars' first photoshoot! Play it!!

It's almost that time folks!

It's almost Spirit Day!!

Tomorrow, Thursday, October 20, millions will wear purple to show their support for the LGBT youth community.

Pioneered by teenager Brittany McMillan as a response to bullying provoked suicides, it's not just individuals taking part in the awareness. Schools, organizations, corporations, etc.. are all participating as well.

Celebrities like Ricky Martin, Cyndi Lauper, Conan O'Brien, Julianne Moore, Chaz Bono, and Mia Farrow, have all spoken out on their support. And we're sure we'll see a lot of other tweets about it too pretty soon!

Even MTV is changing their logo in support of raising awareness. Now THAT's how we like our MTV!

Not only that but Facebook, Viacom, Delta, PepsiCo, Goldman Sachs, Yahoo!, and American Airlines are notifying employees and encouraging participation.

The lights at LAX airport are even turning purple!

So what about U? Hmmm, perezcious readers?? How will U be supporting #SpiritDay?? If you need any good ideas, GLAAD has a ton of them, including ways to purple-fy your Facebook or Twitter photos!

Lady GaGa isn't the only celebrity upset over the suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer.

Ricky Martin is voicing his disdain toward bullying also.

He recently changed his Twitter profile pic to one of Jamey and tweeted to his 4 million followers:

The response to our new book has been overwhelming!

We were very nervous about how The Boy With Pink Hair would be received, but it's been so heartwarming to see that it embraced with welcoming hands (buying the book)!

And, we've gotten some amazing quotes from a very eclectic group of celebrities, who read the book and love it too!

Here's what they have to say:

"I wish, when I was young, I had a book as touching and beautiful as this to teach me about the journey of self-acceptance." - Lady GaGa

"When I was little my mother said to me, 'Cher, different is just another word for special.' My mother was right and so is Perez. This is an adorable tale full of whimsy and meaning!" - Cher

"A story that will resonate with any child who has ever felt weird or different. (It's a) wonderful way to tell our children it's important to celebrate each other's differences and the things that make each child unique and special." - Gloria Estefan

"…A beautiful story about dignity, self-esteem, and the importance of parents' unconditional love. The social healing process begins when we focus on these values when raising our children." - Ricky Martin

"… A precious little story about being special, being accepting, understanding, tolerant and above all saying it's okay to be different." - Dolly Parton

"Whether it's pink hair or a little individuality, everybody has the right to be who they are, no matter what others say. " - Selena Gomez

We're SO looking forward to watching this.

We've got a sneak peek of Ricky Martin's upcoming Behind The Music special for VH1 and it's something you don't want to miss.

In the clip, Ricky gets emotional when he talks about his kids and how happy he is to have his boyfriend, financier Carlos Gonzalez in his life. He's so open and honest and loving life.

It looks like you're in a really good place, Ricky. We couldn't be more happy for you.

So freaking adorable!

VH1 has done a special segment of Behind The Music all about Ricky Martin.

And as a special teaser, we have some precious photos from the singer with his boyfriend Carlos and his twin boys to share.
