It seems that the one thing Sammy Sosa didn't get for his birthday was a sense of humor. And that's exactly what radio host Enrique Santos, so-called King of All Spanglish Media and host of his eponymous show on Univision Radio’s Miami affiliate La Kalle 98.3 FM, wanted to give him as a gift last night. Santos never had the chance. Invited as a guest to Sosa's big birthday bash at the Fontainebleau, Santos thought he'd have a little fun with the whole Lightening Gate situation and show up at the party looking like he got locked into a spray tan booth. "I'm currently using a cream which has darkened my complexion," Santos says. "Ironically, Sammy is going through the same process, but the cream he is using is making him white." While on the red carpet doing interviews, Santos was approached by a publicist who asked him what he was doing, telling Santos, "You can't make fun of him," and ultimately kicking him out of the affair. "I explained to her that it was a special cream I was using that darkened my face and then I asked her, 'How many women in here are wearing makeup?'' but she wasn't having it," Santos tells us. "Was I not white enough for Sammy's party or have the millions gotten to his head--I mean skin?"
If Sammy could give that "rejuvenation" statement to the media with a straight face, he should have been able to take the deejay ribbing him about his, er, facial rejuvenation.
