Martin quits stage tours amid fame backlash
Ricky Martin speaks in People magazine about burnout from fame in the late 1990s. The singer, 33, said he quit performing to tour the world and now plans a Latin American tour this fall after rediscovering enjoyment. Ming-Na Wen has a second child, Cooper Dominic Zee, born in Santa Monica weighing 8 pounds 9 ounces. Her husband Eric Zee confirms mother and baby are well. Bruce Lee’s death in 1973 is described as death by misadventure by Raymond Chow, framing it as a case of taking the wrong medicine. H. Ross Perot urges Bozeman audiences to limit TV for kids, promote imaginative play, and reflect on life balance during a technology museum award ceremony.
