Ricky Martin has announced plans to open a number of children's homes across Latin America in a bid to stop human trafficking. Martin is currently using his foundation to build the Child Development and Prevention Center in Loiza, Puerto Rico, which is expected to be completed in 2012.

In case you didn’t already know, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, opens across the nation tomorrow. Yay!
Martin Lawrence reprises his role as Big Momma, accompanied by Brandon T. Jackson this time around, in what I once suggested was maybe a passing-of-the-torch.
