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 and Hubby A-Rod

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.

C-Rod Going Lenny’s Way

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)

I smiled for the cameras as they were everywhere. Tiger woods himself shook my hand..The great arnold palmer was there as were three wardens from the local lunatic asylum who promply arrested me and hauled me away. get me out of here. d.

More From the Other Donald

Ronaldo involved in altercation with transvestites:

AC Milan striker Ronaldo was questioned by police after an altercation with transvestites in a Rio de Janeiro motel on Monday. Ronaldo accused one of the transvestites of trying to extort him.

Ronaldo was tricked! Seriously!

The altercation began when Ronaldo found out he was dealing with transvestites instead of women. Ronaldo admitted he knew they were prostitutes when they met on Sunday night, but did not realize they were transvestites until they got to the motel. Prostitution is not illegal in Brazil.

The striker told police he offered to pay the transvestites anyway, but before he left one of them allegedly asked for 50,000 reals ($A32,000) to hide the story from the media. The transvestite also accused Ronaldo of asking him to buy drugs. In a statement to TV Globo, Ronaldo reiterated he was a victim of extortion and denied he has ever used drugs.

Ronaldo has won two World Cups with Brazil, including the in 2002 when he scored eight goals, including two in the final against Germany.

Dumped By Sponsor:

Ronaldo has lost a lucrative endorsement deal with mobile phone company TIM in the wake of this week’s scandal. TIM canceled a contract worth US $4.8million as the deal included a clause which allowed the company to unilaterally end the deal if Ronaldo was involved in negative publicity.

According to reports in Brazil, Nike are reviewing a lifetime endorsement deal with Ronaldo worth around US $100million.

Ronaldo has remained in Brazil where he is recovering from a knee injury.

Ronaldo has dated three supermodels:

Milene Domingues:

Daniela Cicarelli:

Raica Oliveira:

All three of these girls are extremely hot. However, you can see that their facial features might be interpreted as “less feminine” than other models around the world. (As Austin Powers might say - rather “manish!”) Perhaps Ronaldo really didn’t know he was propositioning trannys. Hey, some of these guys(gals?) could really fool you. Even Ace Ventura was fooled! That type of surgery can be done in a weekend!

Your basic unlicensed sports product usually is a piece of crap printed with improper Pantones and the occasional spelling error. This one, however, drew the ire of the Cubs by taking a shot at Kosuke Fukudome’s Japanese heritage (and, additionally, to add insult to injury, was replete with a mock-up of Harry Caray’s eyeglasses):

Image of the offending garment.

Cubbies’ management was able to drop the cease and desist on the production of this one immediately due to the use of the team logo in the background.

At OddCulture we are more interested in why the obvious insinuations about someone named FUK-U-DO-ME were skipped over in favor of a bad slant-eye joke (maybe Abercrombie and Fitch will pick up on that at a later date).
