The Latino superstar and singer, Ricky Martin, has turned to the small screen and has signed projects like two TV series and a children’s book.

And according to the Maria Maria singer, “It’s about growing, it’s a moment in my life where I just need to absorb and be surrounded by amazing actors and musicians, and grow as an entertainer. I think this is going to be an amazing year for that.”

Martin is developing a new series for NBC which is expected to come out in 2013. Currently, he is producing, writing and acting in an untitled comedy drama in which he hopes to tackle social issues humorously.

Go Gangnam!

The vibrant music video, featuring invisible pony-riding dance, has topped the Billboard Digital Songs charts and has become the most watched song ever on YouTube with 800 million views and has danced its way around the world on music channels.

This catchy song is by the Korean rapper, PSY, who has said about his international hit, “I thought, ‘Should I translate this or not?’ because (the fans) have got to know what I’m talking about, and lyrics are a huge part,” he said. However, his manager Scooter Braun persuaded him to keep the song in the original language.

The song has opened the doors for K-pop industry and PSY said he was proud his song became such a hit in Korean, but he now wants to branch out into English.

“Gangnam Style is not the sort of thing that’s going to happen twice. I’ve definitely got to make something in English so I can communicate with my fans right now,” the singer said. So let’s hope we see some more from this guy.

No worries! Now you don’t have to carry wet umbrella around with you when it has stopped raining. The designer Je Sung Park and Woo Jung Kwon have come up with a unique umbrella that is invisible and consists of a handle and nothing else!

It is a simple electronic device that takes in air from the bottom of the handle and shoots it out from the top side of the handle to create a ‘curtain’ of air that can repel rain. The power of the air can manually be set on the handle according to how heavy it is pouring.
