I love urban legends. This must be a proper one since the version I know of this story is set in Australia.
I have a Ricky Martin story: when he was a kid, his boy band Menudo came to Brasil because of their huge popularity. They got followed around everywhere and girls even tried to invade their hotel rooms. On their last day, the hotel's chambermaid told the newspapers that Ricky had peed in his bed. But was this just a rumour (another potential urban legend)? The boys used it relentlessly in the playground to tease Menudo fans from that day on and I never heard them played on the radio again.
This could be pop's greatest urban legend or the moment Ricky Martin decided for certain he was in the gays. At the beginning of his solo career, while on promotional duties in South America, Ricky agreed to appear on a TV programme that made its viewers dreams come true. He was due to surprise a teenage Ricky fan by bursting out of her wardrobe.
On the day of filming, Ricky was duly installed in the wardrobe during the afternoon, complete with hidden cameras to capture the action. Soon, his victim returned from school and went up to her bedroom, carrying with her a pot of liver pate.
Then things went horribly wrong: the girl removed her clothes and smeared her parts with the pate. She then called the family's alsation dog up to her room, and let it lick off the pate. Unaware of what was going on, Ricky burst out a couple of minutes later, yelling "Surprise!"...
