Menudo vs. Menudo

Ricky_l So MTV is producing a new reality show called The Road to Menudo, based on the popularity of Ricky Martin's boyhood band. Seven boys from auditions being held around the country will be picked for the American Idol meets Making the Band series, which reportedly premieres next month. Without further ado, here are the top five things the seven "boys" are sure to have in common with the popular Mexican stew also known as Menudo:

 

  Stew Boys
1) Hominy They'll be corny. Duh!
2) Red chile-based broth The token flaming queen is likely to be just as spicy.
3) Tripe One will be the token fatty.
4) Oregano One is probably smoking a similar-looking herb behind the school portables as we speak.
5) Cures hangovers One probably has an affinity for a guy named José. As in Cuervo.

Sam, even if Ricky Martin IS gay it doesn't seem to me that anyone is hating on him for it. Quite the contrary, it seems most the "gay postings" have been from fellas who would love it if he played for their team. That's not mean or nasty, it's a way for men to say they think Ricky's good looking. I still wish Sandra Bernhardt and Portia De Rossi would date guys but that doesn't make me against them.

I cannot wait!!!!

In addition to Ricky having several number ones on the Latin charts, he is on a very successful tour, having recently set a record in Puerto Rico by selling out his concerts four nights,testified before Congress against child trafficking and modern slavery, helped build more than 200 homes for tsunami victims, was named the Latin Recording Academy's person of the year as a humanitarian, founded the Ricky Martin Foundation and is one of the 100 most influential hispanics in People Magazine (that's just some of what he has been doing) Oh, and I am a woman fan and he is still a fantastic performer and a really nice guy--but you just want to make nasty comments speculating about his private life, don't you?

ha ha! nice, vanessa!

The ALL Latino rehashed version of the 90's was more often referred to as just M.D.O., you know when we were all about shortening things to mere letters, such as Mtv's T.R.L. (Total Request Live). As for the queens on this board wondering where Ricky has been hiding (BESIDES THAT HUGE WALK-IN CLOSET) he put out an Mtv Unplugged disc last year, and the successful Latin single, "Pegate" will soon be heard on a gay dancefloor by you (lets face it, almost all straight clubs only play hip-hop music anymnore), since its just been remixed by Ralphi Rosario!! This has been your Latino Gay update, stay tuned for more up to the minute scandal right after this word from our sponsor...Jose Cuervo!

Re: the comment, Menudo IS a popular stew in mexico. The three other meanings are to refer to a group of kids (not so common anymore, but the meaning of Menudo the band allegedly gets it's name from) or the change in one's pocket. The third term is to imply frequency, as in "voy al cine a menudo" (translated: "I go to the movies every now and then").

Hey Donna Imus? Can you cut out the queen, fat jokes, please? It’s too early in the morning!

Bogart Wed, Apr 18, 2007 at 09:58 AM EST

I believe the reason vanessa Juarez used the Mexican recipe-possibly she is Mexican, and this is familar to her. I am guessing because of the last name. Either way, it's comical. It gave me a good laugh this morning. Also, Ricky Martin looks good.

Ed Wed, Apr 18, 2007 at 09:31 AM EST

Wow, thank you for that picture, I forgot the beauty that is Ricky Martin. Where has he been, he fell off the face of the earth. Did he come out yet?

anonymous Wed, Apr 18, 2007 at 09:21 AM EST

menudo wasn't mexican, it was originally composed by all Puerto ricans, and its producer, is also puertorican!

EP Sato Wed, Apr 18, 2007 at 08:57 AM EST

They'll be laughing too, all the way to the bank! I won't listen to them, but expect my 9 year old sister will have all their posters and albums. Is this band going to be all Puerto Rican like the original Menudo or all latino like the rehashed Menudo of the 1990's? Or will Menudo now incorporate a multi ethnic crew?

I gave you a license to drive me up the wall, I just can’t shake this spell that your love keeps me under
The way you weave your magic, your brown eyes say it all
I look at you and feel the thunder
Uh! It hits me like a cannonball

Who can resist lyrics like those?

MTV should change the name of their channel to RealityTV.
