  • Ashley Dupre might be leaving the beaches of New Jersey for the beaches of California to star in a new reality show. Just what the show will consist of isn't clear (or what network is going to pick it up), but there's a possibility it could be a dating show a la Tila Tequila. [E!]

Today in A-Rod / Madge / Kravitzgate: Divorce, Exploitation and Parisian Landlords

STV · 07/07/08 01:50PM

For the first time in our country's history, the epicenter of America's commemorative period of fireworks and independence appears to have shifted to Miami. There, we've learned, the intercoital clusterfuck of Madonna, Alex Rodriguez, Lenny Kravitz and Guy Ritchie has reached its nadir with a Rodriguez divorce now officially on the way — freeing the Yankees slugger to (allegedly) pursue whatever pop paramour his heart desires. Except Madonna and Ritchie are still in matrimonial business — literally — and apparently will be for a while.

The Beginning of the End for the Rodriguezes

cityfile · 07/07/08 06:03AM

Alex Rodriguez's beleaguered wife Cynthia is quickly on her way to becoming the Yankee star's ex-wife: She filed for divorce in Miami this morning. (The divorce docs are here.) Cynthia's trip to the courthouse caps off a busy weekend for the former couple. Cynthia returned from Paris (where she was staying with Lenny Kravitz!) and got down to business, hiring a team of high-priced divorce attorneys; for her part, Madonna issued a statement denying that she and Alex Rodriguez have ever been romantically involved and said she has no plans to divorce her own husband, Guy Ritchie. Madonna's denial came after the news had surfaced over the weekend that the pop star had inducted the Dominican-born star into the cult of Kabbalah, which immediately escalated into a series of bizarre reports: Madonna supposedly used Kabbalah to brainwash A-Rod into believing they're soulmates, and A-Rod's former trainer said that the slugger only listens to Madonna's music while he drives and goes "into a trance" if her videos come on at the gym.

  • This story is getting messier by the minute: It seems Alex Rodriguez's wife Cynthia has been in Paris where she's been hooking up with Lenny Kravitz while her husband may or may not be involved with Madonna. The only one not getting any, it seems, is Guy Ritchie. [NYP]

She’s America’s Pastime Again

mr.guyball · 07/02/08 04:34AM

The Post is calling foul on Madonna's denials of a relationship with Alex Rodriguez. They say A-Rod paid a visit to Madge's Central Park West apartment the night after his wife gave birth in April, but maybe he was just going to study some Torah. Turns out the Yankee has been visiting Kabbalah centers in Florida, and may be interested in learning more about Madonna's shekinah. The Post notes that Madonna has "trained" with a lot of athletes, including Jose Canseco and Dennis Rodman. We'd also point out that Dominican Rodriguez fits in a lot more with the physical trends of Madge's dating past than pasty Guy Ritchie does. Madonna's spokeswoman assures us, "There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce." Of course not. [Post]

We can't wait for tomorrow's New York Post, so here's the tabloid treatment of Madonna's possible affair with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. Photoshop by Jim Cooke (left) and Steven Dressler (below). The headline's from Deadspin's A.J. Daulerio, unless he stole it from someone else. Here are some other suggestions from Daily Intel and Best Week Ever. Can you trump them? Try-in the comments.

Madonna And Alex Rodriguez

Nick Denton · 07/01/08 07:41AM

Having put the Obamas on one of last month's covers in despair at the absence of celebrity gossip, Us Weekly finally has a genuine celebrity scoop. In a new issue on newsstands tomorrow, the magazine reports that New York Yankee baseball player Alex Rodriguez has been making late-night visits to Madonna's apartment on Central Park West. (OK! has much the same basic story but highlights the two supposed lovers' gym trysts.) The singer, 49, is said to have consulted a lawyer about divorce from her husband of seven years, film director Guy Ritchie; Alex Rodriguez, known to sports fans as A-Rod, would have been eight years old when Madonna released her first hit, Lucky Star.
