Prayer Circle For Walter Mercado

That soft wailing followed by the sound of rosary beads clinging together that's coming from your second bedroom is an abuelita praying to Guadalupe to keep human star Walter Mercado (constellation name: Shanti Ananda) here on earth. Even if you don't have a wailing abuelita, or a second bedroom, you do now, because the situation is that serious.

The beloved creature who came to the planet on a shooting star after the universe decided we really needed a Puerto Rican Liberace was hospitalized in San Juan with complications from pneumonia after he collapsed. Walter, who is what Carolina Herrera hopes she sees when she looks in the mirror, is currently being transferred to a hospital in Cleveland that specializes in heart disease. That wailing abuelita probably just turned into a full blown bawling abuelita.

A rep for Walter told The Miami Herald that he's getting a little better, but they are moving him to another hospital since his blood pressure keeps going up and down. Walter's niece said that he's in a good mood and wishes everyone blessings in 2012.

Walter's eyes are crystal balls, so I hope he doesn't see the image of the heavens taking him anytime soon. If that happens, Telemundo's headquarters will sink into the core, the stars will fall from the sky and every abuelita will get a black veil permanently attached to her face. Walter must live for the sake of raw silk-covered glamour and that hospital in Ohio must hang a rhinestone chandelier in his room, because how is he going to heal without his daily dose of vitamin sparkle?

(Thanks Ron!)

No no no HELLLL NOO this is just too much, I CANT with all this bad news today.

If I can't have Walter Mercado in his flamboyantly fabulous costumes in between breaks on 'Al Rojo Vivo' giving me vague as hell zodiac tidbits he read on Cafeastrology my afternoons will never be the same. Seriously.

And Don Francisco better keep taking whatever the fuck he's taking to stay alive because imma need him to continue fulfilling my boring ass Saturday nights. His show gives me life.

Having married into a family of Cubans,I can assure you it was like Holy Hour when Walter sashayed onto the set on "Primero Impacto" with the astrological forecasts delivered with mucho beso's -well as many as the botox would allow anyway....

It is quite possible that MK's writing has evolved, but something in the pudding isn't right. MK could write one paragraph, and it would be as funny as hell. It just seems like there is so much stuff in each post. I don't come here as often, because I don't have time to read all of this. I feel like there is another writer, because MK understood the art of saying more by writing less.

@ Stinkbutt

Okay, I understand if you feel that way, but don't you think that MK's writing has evolved in time? Why wouldn't it make sense?

Why is there always someone suggesting the existence of a ghost writer?

Puerto Rican Liberace reminds me, I visited the Liberace museum in Las VegAs! It was one of the best things I've ever toured. And I've seen many many museums and too much of Vegas. Liberace's place was a little bit like heaven. The Glitz! The Glamour! Get Well Walter they have some of the best doctors in the country in the Cleveland Clinic.

Every fucking written line is now like slap stick comedy on this site, I can barely stand it. I couldn't even figure out what the hell happened to this queen without having to read this novel of mess/shit. I miss MK's writing. Whoever is writing needs to stop writing soooo fucking much. You can be funny and not write so goddamn much. And I'm a die hard dlister, been blogging on this site since the very start.

My abuelita, who passed away last May, may be waiting for him at the pearly gates. She was a huge fan.

I'm sorry, but I am not understanding this. They flew him from Puerto Rico to a hospital that handles cardiac issues. Okay. Not understanding why Ohio, but no biggie. Now they are transferring him to another one because of blood pressure issues? Doesn't that fall under the umbrella of cardiac care? Confused.

FANCY!
