A-Rod’s Frisky V-Day
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
He’s in hot water over steroid use and Madonna seems to have dumped him for her model boy toy, but Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez celebrated Valentine’s Day in style. Page Six reports that A-Rod spent a quiet Friday night hanging with Ingrid Casares at the Scarpetta restaurant in the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach.
But he was much busier Saturday, being photographed with model Melissa Britos during the day, then hitting Prime 112 in South Beach with “three hot chicks.” A source told Page Six, ”He left with the stunning blonde at, like, 3 a.m.”
Well, it’s nice to know the negative publicity isn’t cutting into his love life. It may be putting a squeeze on his wallet, though, when that sponsor money stops coming.

A-Rod Goes Home To Wife
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
In an effort to clean up his image following those nasty revelations about his steroid use, Alex Rodriguez has slunk back to the wife and kids he dumped for Madonna—and the singer is furious. The NY Daily News reports that a source dished:
“Madge is pissed! Alex ran right home to Cynthia, and to Madonna, this is the ultimate dis.But Alex’s handlers want to make sure he’s as far from Madonna as possible. He has enough negative publicity as it is.”
But doesn’t Madonna have her model boy toy Jesus to keep her warm at night? The source reports:
“Madonna and A-Rod have been burning up the phones, and she keeps on insisting that Jesus is just a PR stunt. Alex says he understands, and now he’s asking her to understand that salvaging his career is his priority.”
I guess salvaging his family isn’t. Hope those kids don’t get too attached to Daddy before Madge snaps him back.

A-Rod’s No “Hero”
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
According to Fox News, Alex Rodriguez is beginning to feel the repercussions of his admitted use of steroids. As Michael Phelps found out, those big companies that pay major fees to endorse their products expect their athletes to be squeaky clean—at least in public.
One of A-Rod’s recent lucrative endeavors was a commercial for “Guitar Hero World Tour” along with Michael Phelps and Kobe Bryant. Wonder what unlucky exec brokered that one? This endorsement is headed down the drain, with Nike likely to follow. Why is so much flack expected from clients? A source told Fox News:
“There is an incredible backlash due to the fact that he was supposed to save baseball from the whole Barry Bonds steroid incident and as it turns out he’s done the same thing. While there has been no official word of lost endorsement deals, the assumption is that he definitely will lose some because his image has been tainted.”
Like leaving his wife and little kids to fool around with Madonna didn’t taint it?

A-Rod Admits To ‘Roids
Monday, February 9th, 2009
In a revealing interview with ESPN, Yankee slugger and sometime Madonna flame Alex Rodriguez has admitted to using steroids during his tenure with the Texas Rangers, starting in 2001.
“When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I felt like I had all the weight of the world on top of me and I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day.
“Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid. I was naive. And I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time.
“I did take a banned substance. And for that, I am very sorry and deeply regretful.”
We’re sure he is but seriously doubt he’ll get off that easily.

Madonna And A-Rod Shopping For Real Estate?
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008
Page Six is reporting that NY Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez is trying to unload the family home he shared with ex-wife Cynthia and their two kids and looking at posh new digs with new love Madonna. A real estate source reported the two are “discreetly looking at properties between Fifth and Park avenues, from just above 60th Street through the 80s.
“Madonna personally came to look at one house a couple of months ago, and Alex has been looking recently. We’re talking about private, double-width mansions in the vicinity of $30 million to $60 million.”
Meanwhile, A-Rod has slashed the price of his old pad at Trump Park Avenue to $10 million, down from $14 million. Looks like Madonna will be paying most of the bills—again.
