REMEMBER GERARDO? `RICO SUAVE' NOW RECORD EXECUTIVE

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Did you ever wonder what happened to Latino rapper Gerardo who hit it big in 1990 with "Rico Suave"? Well, Gerardo -- who will turn 34 on April 16 -- is now an executive with Interscope Records in Los Angeles where he promotes dance music and is riding high thanks to the hit comeback CD by former New Kid On The Block Jordan Knight. You'd never recognize Gerardo these days because he's cut off his hair extensions and dyed what's left blonde to cover up his receding hairline. Gerardo -- who now goes by his full name, Gerardo Mejia -- says he has no plans of returning as a rapper, but that's because he's got bigger fish to fry. The Ecuadoran-born rapper admits his goal right now is to be as successful a producer as Puff Daddy, and his current project is producing Enrique Iglesias' first English-language single.
