Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Latin lover and rowdy rapper are taking over from Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper for the cosmetics brand's Viva Glam campaign next year.
According to a press release, photographer David LaChapelle shot the images in Miami on Wednesday.
Martin succeeds Elton John and Boy George as a male model for the label, while ice skater Johnny Weir even got his own makeup line Glitter and Ice, which will be released this holiday season.
The proceeds of Viva Glam benefit the MAC AIDS Fund, which donates to AIDS research, and Ricky and Nicki will have a hard time to top their forerunners: according to Estée Lauder, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper raised $34 million for the initiative last year, the same amount of money raised in the ten previous years of the campaign using seven different celebrities.
