The great drama surrounding Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez continues.

When we last saw A-Rod, he was making late night visits to Madonna’s pad. Did she do a private performance of Hanky Panky for him? Who can say?

Now it appears that A-Rod’s wife Cynthia has left him … for rocker Lenny Kravitz!

Cynthia and Hubby A-Rod

Daily News says:

Yankee star Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia, have split, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Daily News Wednesday. “It’s true,” the source said of A-Rod’s separation from his wife of five years. “They’ve been having problems for about three months.” Word of the couple’s marital strife comes less than three months after they expressed how “thrilled” they were with the April 21 birth of their daughter, Ella Alexander.

Revelations of the couple’s not-so-great-nuptials came as new rumors surfaced on the Internet that Cynthia Rodriguez, 34, was having a fling with rocker Lenny Kravitz. The gossip item on PerezHilton.com quoted a “family friend” claiming C-Rod had gone on a romantic getaway in Paris with Kravitz. Kravitz, 44, is in the middle of his “Love Revolution Tour” in Europe.

Coincidentally, A-Rod, Madonna and Kravitz all share the same manager, Guy Oseary.

In May 2007, Cynthia Rodriguez endured the embarrassment of photos published of her husband entering a Toronto strip club with Scores dancer Joslyn Noel Morse. At the time, she packed her bags and bolted from their East Side pad.

It remains unclear if Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez are headed for divorce court. If so, she stands to get a heaping hunk of massive baseball and commercial endorsement earnings. A-Rod’s salary is about $28 million a year, his endorsements run even higher - and he owns lavish homes in New York and Miami.

Madonna, who is coping with rumors of her own breakup with husband Guy Ritchie, has denied she and A-Rod are an item. “They’re just friends,” Madonna’s spokeswoman insisted.

New York Post:

Yankee superstar Alex Rodriguez’s marriage is kaput, sources told The Post. 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. The stunning news emerged a day after revelations that Alex Rodriguez has been paying late-night visits to Madonna’s Upper West Side apartment.

Cynthia Rodriguez, 34, has been in Paris for at least the past four days visiting Grammy-winner Kravitz. C-Rod was seen outside the 44-year-old Kravitz’s pad in the romantic City of Light as recently as Tuesday night.

Kravitz co-wrote and produced Madonna’s steamy 1990 hit, “Justify My Love,” whose salacious video raised more than a few eyebrows. Kravitz denied speculation he had an affair with Madonna at that time.

So, A-Rod is in New York, Cynthia is in Paris, and their kids are in Miami? Jeez, at least Madonna took her kids with her to New York.

Also: we think this whole thing has been orchestrated by evil mastermind Guy Oseary!

We must stop him and his evil plans!

Inquiring minds wanna know!
We wanna know!

Material Girl

Us Weekly reports that Madonna’s seven-year marriage to Guy Ritchie has stalled out – and the singer has been hosting late-night visits from New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez at her Central Park West apartment in New York City.

Madonna’s Apartment

Ritchie arrived in New York City from London yesterday (sans ring). Rodriguez attended Madonna’s April 30 concert; Madonna sat in his seats at a Yankees game on June 22.

A-Rod is currently married with two young daughters. Former Yankee slugger Jose Canseco – who once dated Madonna – wrote that he hates A-Rod’s guts because he once hit on his wife.

Madonna’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg told Reuters that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are not planning to divorce.

“Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last-ditch attempt to save his marriage, which does not need saving),” Rosenberg told People.

Regarding A-Rod, Rosenberg said “Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary. … They have met. They know each other, and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that.”

Guy and Madonna, who must now justify their love. (sorry)

George Carlin, the dean of counterculture comedians whose biting insights on life and language were immortalized in his “Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV” routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71.

Carlin’s jokes constantly breached the accepted boundaries of comedy and language, particularly with his routine on the “Seven Words” - all of which are taboo on broadcast TV and radio to this day. When he uttered all seven at a show in Milwaukee in 1972, he was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace, freed on $150 bail and exonerated when a Wisconsin judge dismissed the case, saying it was indecent but citing free speech and the lack of any disturbance.

When the words were later played on a New York radio station, they resulted in a 1978 Supreme Court ruling upholding the government’s authority to sanction stations for broadcasting offensive language during hours when children might be listening. “So my name is a footnote in American legal history, which I’m perversely kind of proud of,” he told The Associated Press earlier this year.

Carlin was a television staple through the decades, serving as host of the “Saturday Night Live” debut in 1975 and appearing some 130 times on “The Tonight Show.” He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies, from his own comedy specials to the “Bill and Ted” movies.

Carlin started his career on the traditional nightclub circuit in a coat and tie, pairing with Jack Burns. Then they met Lenny Bruce, who influenced Carlin.

Carlin’s first wife, Brenda, died in 1997. He is survived by wife Sally Wade; daughter Kelly Carlin McCall; son-in-law Bob McCall; brother Patrick Carlin; and sister-in-law Marlene Carlin.

“The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things - bad language and whatever - it’s all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition,” Carlin told the AP in a 2004 interview. “There’s an idea that the human body is somehow evil and bad and there are parts of it that are especially evil and bad, and we should be ashamed. Fear, guilt and shame are built into the attitude toward sex and the body. … It’s reflected in these prohibitions and these taboos that we have.”

Apparently this was taken in Monaco.

What’s with the last two photos? Kim needs to get better taste in bathing suits.

The New Jersey beach, that is.
Here she is with her mom Carolyn Capalbo at Sea Girt beach. Eliot Spitzer is nowhere to be found.

She ain’t no Annette Funicello.
