Today in A-Rod / Madge / Kravitzgate: Divorce, Exploitation and Parisian Landlords
STV · 07/07/08 01:50PMFor 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 06:03AMAlex 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.

Madge and A-Rod's Late Nights
cityfile · 07/02/08 06:40AMShe’s America’s Pastime Again
mr.guyball · 07/02/08 04:34AMThe 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]

Madonna And Alex Rodriguez
Nick Denton · 07/01/08 07:41AMHaving 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.

No one was hurt, however, as A-Rod can't hit anything in October.
