In what could possible be the greatest love trianglequadrangle of the year - Yankees star (and Madonna BFF) Alex Rodriquez has been dumped by his wife - for LENNY KRAVITZ. Cynthia Rodriguez has left the couple’s kids in Miami and jetted to Paris, where she is reportedly holed up with the rebel rocker. The strangest part of the story (if there is such a thing with this mess) is that Lenny and Madonna - who’s been linked to A-Rod this week - used to knock boots! The Yankee shortstop - who was linked to a sexy blond stripper last year - scored a home run in last night’s game against the Texas Rangers - do you think his wife did as well?
Red Sox fans who love Madonna are going to find themselves in quite a pickle this morning, after word is leaking that the legendary singer is possibly shacking up with Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. We all know Madge’s marriage is teetering on the brink of divorce, but would she really take up with a married man right now - and a much-younger baseball player at that? Well, this is Madonna. She may be old, but anything still is possible. Both UsandOK! magazines are reporting that the Madge and the superstar b-baller have been getting close since October, when they were spotted working out together in NYC. He attended her concert in May, and she took her family to watch the Yankees play - and sat in A-Rod seats. Even more scandalous - they’ve been spotting having secret meetings at her place late at night.
In the latest development of the rumored Madonna – Guy Ritchie split, UK newspaper The Sun is reporting that Guy has stopped practicing Kabbalah. While Madonna has become increasingly involved in the mystical Jewish religion, Guy has turned his back on it.
A source close to the couple told The Sun, “He has gone hot and cold on the religion in the past, but now he’s given up on it altogether. It has always been her thing and is more a part of her life than ever.”
“He was genuinely into it and it helped the bond between them. But then he backtracked a little with his gestures of public backing, like wearing the bracelet, because he didn’t like being such a high-profile follower.”
“He also became suspicious of all the Kabbalah crowd living off her money.”
Sadly, things are not looking good for the Material Mom and her producer husband. Reportedly, Madge has sought legal counsel in Paul McCartney’s divorce attorney, Fiona Shakleton. Madge was also spotted in NYC yesterday, without her wedding ring.
Another source has stepped forward to corroborate yesterday’s piece of gossip regarding Madonna’s estrangement from her tell-all-penning brother, Christopher Ciccone. Like Rupert Everett, this anonymous voice says that it all stems from the gay-hating ways of Madonna’s husband, Guy Ritchie: “Guy is a homophobe. At their wedding, Chris made a joke about Guy being gay. That set the tone for their relationship.”
So, is Guy Ritchie unaware that he married the closest thing to a gay man with a vagina that we have on our fine planet? And how is it that the biggest gay icon on the planet hasn’t turned her husband out by now? Something just doesn’t make sense here: either the story’s total crap, or Madonna needs to relocate her tolerance-seeking to her bedroom. [New York Daily News]
The reigning queen of pop’s brother is ready to sell out his sister for some cold hard dough. Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone is working with a British writer on a tell-all that’s been described as “extremely graphic and devastating.” Chris, who is gay, used to be M’s right-hand man, but she dropped him after hooking up with Guy Ritchie, who’s been described as “uncomfortable around queens” by Madge pal Rupert Everett. The book’s due out next month, so we hope Madonna does something ridiculous to draw attention away from the tell-all. Maybe she could adopt a 20-something blogger from NYC and bring her to live with Lourdes, Rocco and lil’ David in London? [NYP]
Between the Sex And the City movie and the recent love connection of Jennifer Aniston and 9-years-younger John Mayer, we got to thinking about our favorite famous Cougars. For all of you who don’t know, a coug is “a female, usually between 30 and 50 years-old, who enjoys the sexual company of younger men.” From Whitney’s rendezvous with Ray J to Demi being old enough to have given birth to Ashton, we salute Hollywood’s Hottest Cougars.
Chart-topping fox Rihanna has teamed up with Maroon 5 on the band’s song “If I Never See Your Face Again” from last year’s It Won’t Be Soon Before Long. The above behind-the-scenes clip features a scantily clad Rihanna facing off against Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine for what the band’s label head described as a “battle of the sexes style duet.” Check back here next Tuesday to see the sparks fly between Maroon and Rihanna in the video.
There’s also a very interesting guest on the set of the video whose face is blurred out — can you guess who might have been visiting RiRi?
A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to write four lines of poetry for a chance to win tickets to Madonna’s April 30 concert in New York. We received a whopping 7,669 poems. Some are funny. Some are serious. We wish that we could give all of you a pair of tickets, but then Madge would have to move her show from the intimate Roseland Ballroom to Madison Square Garden. Here are the talented (and lucky) winners.
Jordan, from Illinois
I distinctly remember a road trip reflection
And the moving, grooving sounds of an Immaculate Collection
I’d cry “Track 15!” like a backseat DJ
Letting my Baptist minister father know his son was so gay
Bradford, from New Jersey
Through the years worship forced me to wear everything from jelly bracelets to Kabballah strings
I sported some really bad roots and even rocked some tooth bling
Blew my paychecks on Pilates to look lean and mean
But through it all, Madonna is and always will remain my mother_@#_ing Queen
You’ve already seen the tour de force video for Madonna’s single “4 Minutes to Save the World” featuring Justin Timberlake — now see what the duo got up to behind the scenes. Follow Justin and Madonna around on the set in the clip above, and find out who’s got the dirtier mouth, and which George Michael song Justin spontaneously starts singing.
Editor’s Note: Entries are no longer being accepted. The submissions phase ended April 24 at noon (EST). Check back soon to read the winning poems.
Anyone can go to see a superstar in a huge venue — that’s easy. But it’s a rarity to catch the queen of pop in a much cozier joint. If you’re a Madonna fan and a decent poet, you’ve got a shot at making this dream come true. Our “4 Lines To See Madonna” contest is all about celebrating the arrival of the singer’s new Hard Candy on April 29. We’ll select two winners, and they’ll each get a pair of tickets for an exclusive performance at New York’s intimate Roseland Ballroom on April 30.
Here’s the deal: you submit a four-line poem about Madonna in the comments section below. It can rhyme, not rhyme, be about her fashion sense, be about a song, or be about a particular era of her storied career. Hey, it can be about any aspect of Madonna’s life that moves you. We’ll check entries through noon of April 24, and decide on two winners. Transportation to NYC is not provided. But once you’re here, there will be two tickets waiting for you.
Feel free to submit more than one entry. We’ll contact the winning poets on April 25 via the email that you include on the “Mail” field of the comments section. (This email will not be made public.) Download the official rules here. You’ll be judged on outrageousness, musical knowledge, and crazy-ass rhymes. Need an example to get you started? You got it.
You’ve sung about sex and spiritual stuff
You’ve proven for years that you take no guff
Now that you’re in the Rock Hall of Fame
Everyone knows, that girl you’ve got game.
Madonna may only have “4 Minutes to Save The World,” but we’ve got twenty seconds of her new video! Luckily she’s got a little help from Mr. Timberlake. Check back on Monday to find out whether they succeed — we’ll have the full video for your viewing pleasure.
