21 Jun 2006I guess Tiziano Ferro and his handlers knew that saying sorry for statements against Mexican women wasn’t going to cut it, so the Italian pop star paid a visit to the Mexican consulate in Milan to “make peace” with Mexico vis a vis the Consul.
Is shaking hands and smiling for a photo going to do it? Next time we see him he’s gonna be dressed like a charro and singing el himno nacional.

Tiziano Ferro, the guy who started a firestorm when he said all Mexican women had moustaches, says he’s VERY sorry about those comments. I guess my comment on the fact that without countries like Mexico, dumb pop stars like him wouldn’t have a career was true — he’s effectively lost his following in Mexico and he’s feeling quite bad about it — especially since he’s got a new album out.
According to People en Español, he points to his own “insecurity” as the motivation for the comments:
“The truth is there is no justification for what I did”, Ferro told Televisa Espectáculos. “[What I said] was because I am immature and insecure. The pressure of the live program made me feel very timid and I started to act like a clown so people would laugh because I’m very insecure”, explained the singer, who will release his new album Nadie está solo on June 27.
Cough. Ahem. Ah…his new album coincidentally comes out next week.
