Tiziano Ferro: Punishment by shaving
1:34 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Celebrities|Controversia|mexico · 2 Comments
5 Oct 2006Italian pop tart Tiziano Ferro has been making the rounds in Mexico to drive the point home that he’s REALLY SORRY about saying that all Mexican women had moustaches. But sometimes pictures speak louder than words:
Yep, that’s Mr. Inopportune Joke himself, having his pasty white legs shaved on national Mexican television by Otro Rollo host Adal Ramones. Way to preserve your dignity, Tiz! God.
Spain’s El Mundo also points out that prior to the shaving shenanigans, Tiziano was “on the verge of tears”.

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.

Italian pop star: VERY sorry about moustache comment

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.
Italian pop star: Mexican women have moustaches

An Italian pop star named Tizziano Ferro (sorry…who?) is at the center of a media firestorm in Mexico after saying Mexican women have moustaches. According to Spain’s 20 Minutos, the singer, who lived in Mexico for two years is not into Mexican girls (video, with Spanish subtitles, after the jump):
In an interview given to Italian media he stated that in Mexico it is completely impossible to find beautiful women because “they have moustaches”.It seems the only one not guilty is Salma Hayek: “It’s impossible to say that the most beautiful women in the world are in Mexico. No offense but…they have moustaches…I’m sorry, but they know it. Maybe not Salma…”, he said on the Che Tempo fai show on Italian network RAI.
After his mention of Mexican women’s moustaches on Italian TV, the program’s host warned Ferro that his insulting comment could offend all Mexican women, to which the singer replied “They know it”.
