`THAT '70S SHOW' STAR'S SECRET MUSICAL PAST

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Looks like "That '70s Show" star Wilmer Valderrama has something in common with Ricky Martin. The 19-year-old actor -- who plays Fez the foreign exchange student -- started out as a Latin singing star in his homeland of Venezuela when he was 9 years old. Although Valderrama was hoping to become a teen idol, he changed his mind at age 12 when he appeared in a musical and was given one speaking line: "Come over here pretty mama." He says the audience laughed so hard he decided then and there to try acting and put singing on the back burner permanently. However, Valderrama says he wouldn't mind recording a CD, but fears he'll be labeled "Ricky Martin Jr."
