The Thanksgiving Day Charade is Over!

Alex Rodriguez did spend a wee bit of time with his family this Thanksgiving but make no mistake about it. He wasn’t there much longer than to have the few photos snapped by the paps before he was running back to the withered and bony arms of Madonna. He was seen at her concert on Wednesday in Miami and not only did the once-diva sing a love song to him but he handed her a bottle of water while she was on-stage, making his appearance very known. Then the next day on Thanksgiving morning, he spent the obligatory time with his family and then headed back to Madge’s where things got very twisted indeed. If you thought the whole Madonna/Guy Ritchie/A-Rod/Cynthia story was a mess before, enter Gwyneth Paltrow and the man with whom she is having a torrid affair. By the way, Gwyn is Madge’s BFF. From Gay Socialites,

“That night, Alex and Madonna were spotted partying with bachelor billionaire Jeff Soffer and his new affair Gwyneth Paltrow. While A-Rod is shacking up with Madonna this weekend, Jeff and Gwyn are evidently getting cozy over at his place fueling rumors that Paltrow is splitting from hubby Chris Martin.”

There’s just nothing about this story that is right! I don’t understand why the big charade with A-Rod’s family on Thursday, when clearly they were only being sandwiched between his time with Madonna. Andy why would Cynthia ever just sit back and let that happen? Oh it’s okay if you just come for an hour or two and then leave me and the kids to go be with your mistress. I know that they’ve already been divorced but really, why allow yourself to be photographed as one big happy family when you know he’s looking at his watch the whole time? And then this whole Paltrow thing comes out of nowhere! It will definitely be interesting to hear more on that! It doesn’t seem as though it will take long. This whole thing has gotten so incredibly messy and ridiculous and no one seems to have any shame when it comes to exposing their own deep, dark secrets.

Alex Rodriguez has Been a Busy Boy!

The news broke this past summer that the heat and steam in the air was more than just the humidity when rumors started to circulate that Madonna was having an affair with Alex Rodriguez. They were both married at the time and the rumors stated that Madonna was seen at Yankees games, there to cheer on her beau, and that Alex was spending a whole lot of time at the pop superstar’s apartment in New York - and that most often, these visits were very late at night. Reps from Madonna’s camp vehemently denied the rumors, although Alex’s people seemed to suddenly become very close-mouthed. Perhaps that’s because they knew that a divorce was in his near future anyway as it was reported by US at the end of September that the divorce between Alex and his wife, Cynthia Rodriguez had not only started but it had already been finalized. And boy, oh boy, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Check out what she asked for as stated by US and then what she actually got from Alex,

“In her petition, Cynthia requested the couple’s $12 million waterfront estate in Coral Gables, Fla., and “equitable distribution” of all assets acquired during the marriage (Alex reportedly made $28 million this season).

She also demanded alimony and child support for their daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, five months, and enough to pay for private schools so she and their two daughters can maintain the “high standard of living” they’re used to.

Alex had countered that he was only willing to give her what was required in their pre-nup and threatened to make her pay his legal fees if she challenged and lost.”

Ya know, even though I think he’s a cheater and a pig, I’m glad that he stuck to his guns on the money issue. It’s crappy that she got burned and will forever change the lives of everyone in their family - but really. I hate it when ex-spouses claim that they need to “maintain the style of living they’ve become accustomed to.” Get over it - it’s done, this is what not being married anymore means. You have a prenup for a reason and it’s clear that that’s all you’re ever going to see.

And it seems that he was eager to get back into the Material Girl’s arms because it was reported just this last week that he and Madonna met up for a romantic dinner. Also reported by US,

“Madonna and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez took in a cozy dinner for two at Dos Caminos Third Avenue on Tuesday, a source told Usmagazine.com.

They pair ate at an alcove-like table in the back.

“They seemed very close,” a source told Usmagazine.com.

Cynthia’s attorney, Earle Lilly, told Us that Rodriguez had an “affair of the heart” with Madonna.

In July - after more than four years of marriage - Cynthia filed for divorce, citing her husband’s alleged infidelity.”

When news of the alleged affair broke, Madonna and husband, Guy Ritchie tried desperately to make a point of appearing around town looking like the picture-perfect happy couple. However, this contradicted rumors that the two were planning a divorce for this fall. Which would be now. And it seems those rumors may have been true as both Madonna and Guy have supposedly started talking to divorce lawyers. Madonna is said to be seeing the same one that walked Sir Paul McCartney through his awful legal battle.

An Update in the Madonna Scandal

With all of the news and scandal already out about Madonna and the break-up of her marriage (which only she seems to be denying), it has now been revealed that another baseball player wants in on the action. That someone would be one Mr. Jose Canseco. He claims that during the early nineties, Madonna wanted to have his baby! From iVillage,

“She wanted to get married and have a child with me — she wanted a Cuban child,” he said.: “We went downstairs [at her house in the Hollywood Hills] and she came over and said, ‘What would you do if I kissed you?’ and then sat on my lap and kissed me.”

The baller said that, when he told Madge that he was trying to work things out with his wife, and that he could lose a lot of money if they divorced, “She said, ‘I have lots of money. Don’t worry about that.”

Jose says that, ultimately, he ended the relationship with Madonna — without ever having sex with her. Keep in mind that Jose hates Madonna’s latest, Alex Rodriguez, because Alex supposedly hit on Jose’s wife once.”

Is this a pissing contest between Canseco and Rodriguez or was Madonna really after some of those good genes and athletic physique? Who knows but this whole story is getting older and more ridiculous by the second. The only sane one in this whole entire thing seems to be Cynthia Rodriguez, Alex’s ex. She has spoken out about her impending divorce with her hubby and reminds us all that while it may be enjoyable to read and blog about, this is a real thing happening to real people. She also denies reports that she has been canoodling with Lenny Kravitz and blowing thousands of dollars on shopping sprees just so she can stick it to Alex. People reports her as saying,

“Not one word of those stories is true,” said Rodriguez. “I never before in all my married life together ever went away without my husband or family. Not once in 13 years.”

“I did not spend one dollar shopping in Paris,” she continued. “I did not go to super-fancy expensive restaurants. I did not go to any spa. I didn’t do one thing. I spent the most innocent four days with my children’s godparents, who are as close to us as family. My husband and I were already into our problems and I didn’t know where to go, what to do. I needed to think. To clear my head.”

Rodriguez added that her family is very upset by the split. “Mine’s a close-knit family,” she said. “Never one divorce on my side. My parents, aunts, uncles are devastated.”

How can you not feel for this women who has put up with years of scandal and has finally cracked under the pressure. Well that and the fact that her husband’s sleeping with someone else.

Rodriguez goes the way of Brinkley

Ya gotta love the women of Hollywood these days. They get burned and they let it be known that they are woman and you will hear them roar. FIrst Christie Brinkley drags out all the ugly details of her husband’s affair in court and now Cynthia Rodriguez finds a man who will truly appreciate her. After speculation about an affair happening between her husband, Alex Rodriguez and Madonna, she has filed for divorce and just happened to find comfort in the arms of one Mr. Lenny Kravitz. From Celebedge,

“C-Rod, who’s been married to Alex for six years, took her three-month-old daughter to Paris to be with friends, and those friends just happened to include perennially overlooked Sexiest Man Alive candidate Lenny Kravitz.

While some rock-star rebounding would be hot, Lenny, 44, has sent word that there’s no funny business going on in Paris between Cynthia and himself. “There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself,” he told Us Weekly in a statement. “Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby… his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer.”

Eat your heart out, Alex! Even if they’re not having an affair, there’s no better revenge than living well.
