Just in case you haven't heard: One of the hottest stories on the Web this morning is singer Ricky Martin's announcement that he is "proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."
It's a leading Google Trend. Twitter is abuzz. The story has spread across all types of media.
And reactions seem to fall into one of just a few categories:
-- "So proud of him."
-- "WOW we had noooooo idea! (;"
-- "Who cares?"
Update at 10:45 a.m. ET: Our blogging cousin Linda Holmes at Monkey See says "the funniest part of (reaction to the Martin news) was the number of people who have already asked me whether, in fact, he had not previously come out, because they were almost sure he had."
