More Madonna, Less Wife

Either this has to be the most calculated p.r. stunt ever, or the moons must have aligned for Madonna. She’ll be starting a tour soon and everyone’s talking about her. Granted, a lot of the conversation are probably not too positive. Take this Alex Rodriguez thing, for example. His wife, Cynthia, has now filed for divorce from the baseball superstar, and a lot of folks are pointing their fingers at the Material Mom as the cause. Cynthia’s lawyer even told People Magazine that although Madonna and Alex’s relationship was “an affair of the heart” and not “sexual infidelity”, his relationship with the singer was the last straw for the slugger’s wife. Ah, what a tangled web they’ve all weaved. Let’s be fair to Madonna, though, because it does sound like she’s becoming a scapegoat for a marriage that was already on the rocks (Alex has been accused of infidelity before). Still, Madge has had her share of controversies and all this news is just fanning the flames of her ticket sales. She’s been through the ringer and this controversy is not going to kill her (or her career). Trust. Good luck to Cynthia, though.
