A-Rod's Wife Files Big D
In the documents, filed today in Miami, Cynthia says she's exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage. Alex has "emotionally abandoned" his wife, leaving her with no choice but to divorce him. She says the marriage is "irretrievably broken" because of Alex's "extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct." Note she said affairs -- plural. She's seeking primary custody of the couple's two girls, Ella and Natasha, as well as child support to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children." Th

EXCLUSIVE: A-Rod Said He Was "in Love With Madonna"

A-Rod's wife seeks evidence of star spying on her
The wife of Alex Rodriguez wants to know if the New York Yankees star hired private detectives or installed wiretaps to spy on her.

A-Rod's wife, Cynthia, has been shacked up with rocker Lenny Kravitz in Paris. The couple's two daughters - 3-year-old Natasha and 2-month-old Ella - remained in Miami, sources said.

Madonna, A-Rod share Kabbalah adviser
Madonna and Alex Rodriguez might be distancing themselves from each other, but their common interest in Kabbalah is only growing stronger. According to a source close to the religion, A-Rod has been assigned to Madonna's spiritual adviser, Rabbi Eitan Yardeni, for all of his Kabbalah and spiritual needs. This speaks volumes about A-Rod's importance to the organization, says the source. "A-Rod is clearly bringing in enough publicity for them if he'll actually study with Yardeni. (Yardeni) is Madonna'

Madonna Receives 500,000 Dollars Charity Donation from Rumored Lover Alex Rodriguez

A-ROD STRIKES OUT WITH PARTY
Alex Rodriguez's teammates must wish they could divorce him too. "He's become a huge distraction with the Madonna fiasco," a source told Page Six. "It's always all about him." That explains why none of his fellow Yankees went to the All-Star bash he hosted at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club Monday night. Instead, his mommy, Lourdes, and his new best friends, Guy Oseary and Ingrid Casares, were by his side in a corner booth as he threw back shots. And Casares was then spotted leaving A-Rod's Park Avenue pad yesterday

"She's been fighting these terrible, demonic problems for two years and they don't go away." The papers will allege "total emotional abandonment," Lilly explains. "You're not going to see a lot of other re

Is that stress showing in your face, Madonna, or attempts to defy the ravages of time?
Most women are susceptible to the odd hair day - but less likely is a bad face day. But then Madonna has had a lot on her plate recently with divorce rumours rife and being accused of destroying US baseball player Alex Rodriguez's marriage. Oh. And her brother's book, which portrays her as a power-obsessed monster.

MADGE 'GHOSTED' BRO'S TELL ALL
Madonna is truly the master of media manipulation. "The supposed scandal about [her brother] Christopher Ciccone's book is bull[bleep]," an insider told Page Six. "She actually ghost-wrote parts of it with him, the way Princess Diana helped Andrew Morton write his book on her. That's why there's nothing too devastating in Chris's book. He's mean to others, but not so much to his sister." In addition, Madge, now frighteningly rail thin, exploited Alex Rodriguez. "She flirted with him and manipulated him," ou

So Shaq and A-Rod Walk into a Bar ...
How perfect. A-Rod needs a shoulder to lean on, and guess who shows up? Another world-class athlete with relationship problems. Alex Rodriguez and Shaquille O'Neal huddled for roughly 30 seconds at the 40/40 club last night, looking pretty intense. Don't know what they talked about, but Shaq surely must have some tips to throw A's way. A-Rod was hosting the shindig, so guess what music the DJs played -- Madonna. At one point A-Rod went to the bathroom, but not before security swept the crapper of

Did Madonna Injure A-Rod?
Let’s start an urban legend. This one is about Madonna and Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Much has been made of the Madonna-A-Rod timeline. Here it is: A-Rod attended Madonna’s Kabbalah/Malawi fundraiser on Feb. 6 in New York sponsored by Gucci. Rodriguez is in plenty of the pictures. His “date” was not wife Cynthia, who was seven months pregnant. It was his shared manager with Madonna, Guy Oseary. Rodriguez’s picture was taken with fellow Kabbalah follower, Demi Moore. A-Rod Pal: Cynt

Lenny Denies Affair With A-Rod's Wife
Lenny Kravitz is denying reports of an affair with Alex Rodriguez's wife, Cynthia — who he's currently with in Paris. "There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself," he tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. "This is unequivocally 100% not true. "Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex's trainer, his wife and their baby girl," he adds. "She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a frie

Does Madonna have a Sex Tape?
Could this be true? Most celebs attempt the sex tape PR when their careers are tanking, and since Madonna’s is anything but, there may be more truth to this than it sounds. She’s been caught unwittingly apparently in a sex tape scandal with A-Rod, for a tape that was allegedly made just a few short months ago. A cameraman who is of course, unidentified, claims to have a video of the two having a good old fashioned romp on the sofa. And of course he’s asking for a cool 2 million for it, so maybe th

EXCLUSIVE: Jose Canseco: Singer Madonna Begged Me to Impregnate Her
Alex Rodriguez isn't the first athlete Madonna has pursued.

(He first talked about the incident in his 2008 biography Vindicated.) "She wanted to get married and have a child with me — she wanted a Cuban child," he tells Us. Canseco recalls: "We went downstairs [at her hous

Christopher Ciccone, who has written a book about the pop star, made the comments on US TV network ABC. "She's not the type of person just to walk away," he said, referring to reports that the couple's eight-year relationship was on the rocks. Mr Ciccone also said he "doubted" reports Madonna was dating baseball player Alex Rodriguez. Earlier this month, Madonna's spokeswoman denied s
