C-Rod, Lenny Kravitz Enter the A-Rod, Madonna Rumor Mill Frenzy

First, there was talk that Madonna had engaged a divorce lawyer. Then there were rumors Madonna's potential split with Guy Ritchie was due to an affair with Yankee superstar Alex Rodriguez. Now, things have gotten really crazy with suggestions that A-Rod's wife Cynthia has left him for...Lenny Kravitz!

Sources told Perez Hilton A-Rod is not having an affair with the Material Girl but he's actually the one being cheated on. The Rodriguezes' troubles have been well-documented--namely A-Rod's relationship with a busty blond stripper that landed him on the cover of the Post. But they seemed to work things out, spending New Year's together, and welcoming their second baby earlier this year.

The Post claims C-Rod has been in Paris with Kravitz, who happens to share the same manager as A-Rod and Madonna, the past few days, leaving the Babies-Rod in Miami. While C-Rod's mom told the Daily News her daughter is not in Paris with Kravitz ("She's not! I know that."), she didn't comment about whether her daughter had separated from the slugger. A family friend, though, told the News the couple was now living apart, "They've been having problems for about three months."

So, basically this much we know: A-Rod and C-Rod are having marriage difficulties. Lenny Kravitz, who did co-write "Justify My Love" for Madonna, is in Paris. And Madonna is in New York and has attended a Yankees game in recent weeks. Gawker made a flowchart, to help some people.

Update: Lenny Kravitz tells the Daily News he's not having an affair with C-Rod but that he is letting her stay in his Paris apartment "to escape from everything happening in New York City." They are just friends.

Let's all chip in and book a cruise for these celebrity monsters so they can sort this crap out in international waters, preferably within the Bermuda Triangle.

I hear Sarah Silverman is hiring.

Good gracious. C-Rod's implants are heinous.

Jen Chung

The take-out menu place fired me, so I had to start the blog.

jenspellnogood

jen you have now truly become a laughingstock; not just for your incoherent writing, but also for the quality of the content you choose to 'report' on. time for you to go back to writing take-out menus.

"And the Perez Hilton story was backed up by the Post, FWIW."

You can't make this shit up...

mdow

i'd still hit madonna, but couldn't a-rod do a lot better than either her or his wife? it's sad if he can't...

meowster

It IS a NY story and it's hilarious. Go Jen. I love your last sentence in this article: "Gawker made a flowchart, to help some people".

Mr Mel

A-Rod, Madonna and Kravitz all have the same manager. Then C-Rod cheats on A-Rod with Kravitz and all this happens while A-Rod is chasing Madonna. This is a Press guy's dream, in one gossip article he gets all 4 clients name in print.

Back in the 60's a friend of mine, a comic, once shared an agent with a girl singer and the restaurant, Romeo Salta. One day I read in The Daily News,I forget if it was Danton Walker or Ed Sullivan's column, that my friend and the girl singer were seen holding hands in Romeo Salta's. That PR guy got only three clients in print but he did it in one sentence.

Hooray for the LOLcats!!

Thanks for the comments everyone--while I want to reduce the number of typos/errors in my posts, I also welcome and appreciate helpful comments and, yes, even emails about issues.

And the Perez Hilton story was backed up by the Post, FWIW.

Grammar police are out again. Get a life people. This is not The New York Times.

QFT. Honestly, who cares? If you want to shake a stick at bad grammar, go to http://icanhascheezburger.com/ and have a field day. Be sure to bring your entire editorial staff with you as well.

so now we're equating money with writing skills. ok . . .

If Gothamist had the staff and budget of the NY Times - I'm sure their writing would be as flawless and generic as the NY Times. Happy?

Steven,

I've heard that before. Is that the best excuse you have to justify mediocrity and ignorance?

nomnomnom

I see at least three men in the image above.

Grammar police are out again. Get a life people. This is not The New York Times.

TimSPC

This is EXACTLY like Gossip Girl, except with a middle-age women and two bulked-up bland guys.

Maybe all these people need to stop weight training and head over to couple's therapy...or not.

Dear Gothamist:

The time you've spent writing this useless post would've been better used copy-editing other newsworthy stories.

It's sad to see the direction this blog is taking. It's disrespectful to the readers that the posts are full of grammatical errors. Some of the posts are actually painful to read.

TKaisen

If New York is over, Madge, why not get the fuck out and never, ever come back.

babyhitler

Man, That's a lot of washboard abs in one post. They must have a 88 pack between them. Who knew that A-Rod had such an affinity for Mannish women? Gay Rod is right

Think2wice

Why stop there. Let's toss Guy Ritche, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook into the blender.

antonius

who gives a flying fuck about it?

sadpanda

Jen--PLEASE seek editorial help. The first two paragraphs of this article are painful to read.

JMH

Couldn't you have just put in a link to Gawker and not wasted the useful space on this website with that crap?

cuntry

You guys are getting worse and worse.

Getting unsubstantiated news from PEREZ HILTON?

Dude just says shit and is wrong half the time, even if he might be right this time.

Give me a break.
