...shaking Latin pop star has the No. 1 song in America, Livin' la Vida Loca. His self-titled new CD is setting sales records at stores across the U.S. And Martin is at the center of something bigger than himself. A host of other Hispanic performers, including vocalist Marc Anthony and actress turned pop diva Jennifer Lopez, are poised to release highly anticipated Latin-tinged CDs soon. Martin, in an interview with TIME, was so euphoric over his success he bordered on being Roberto Benigni-esque. "What are you kidding me?" says Martin. "I'm flying, I'm flying...
Puerto Rico is where it starts. It is an island inhabited by the descendants of black slaves and Spanish conquistadors; here cultures collided, rhythms intermingled, and salsa emerged, inspired by Africa and Europe and by New York City. Marc Anthony's parents hail from the island, and Jennifer Lopez, though born and raised in the Bronx, also has roots there. As for Ricky Martin, he was born in Puerto Rico, the only child of Enrique Martin, a psychologist, and Nereida Morales, an accountant (Martin's parents separated when...
...studio in Manhattan, Marc Anthony is working on his new English-language album. He is dressed simply in jeans and a white T shirt, and his voice is ringing out, pure and direct.

He pops into a sound room where engineers are mixing the tracks for a ballad sung by Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, one of two songs Estefan produced for Lopez's upcoming album On the 6. "It sounds great," he says, flashing his trademark broad smile. "This is going to be really big. I'm telling you." Nowadays, when Estefan makes that kind of prediction, industry moguls listen. A former drummer and the husband of pop diva Gloria Estefan, he has emerged...
...Taylor movie--$240 million in today's dollars--the $30 million-plus cost of this mini-series is piddling. But for TV, it's colossal. So what do those big bucks buy? Lavish spectacle, a Dynasty-style version of Cleopatra's romances with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and just about zero chemistry between Leonor Varela's Cleopatra and Billy Zane's Antony. Zane (Titanic) makes a stalwart Roman general (and so does Timothy Dalton as Caesar), but pretty, pouty Varela lacks utterly the "infinite variety" that Shakespeare attributed to history's most famous vamp...
