Alex Rodriguez, fresh from his fancy experimental German knee therapy, has been spotted in Boise, Idaho with former WWE wrestler Torrie Wilson. According to various witnesses, the pair have been seen at the local gym. more ›

With one giant swing and a miss from star Alex Rodriguez, the $196 million Yankees season came to a pathetic ending last night against the Detroit Tigers. And with that final whiff (which you can rewatch below), the vitriol poured forth from sportswriters, Yankees haters and even Donald Trump across the web: "A-Rod is a less than average baseball player now that he is unable to use drugs. A-Rod misrepresented to the Yankees. He used drugs. They should cut his salary to $5 million a year -- tops!" Trump tweeted. more ›

While the Yankees are busy trying to figure out why CC Sabathia turns into Jaret Wright every time he faces the Red Sox, and waiting for Jesus Montero to rise from Triple-A to save them, a former batboy for the team is dishing on life behind-the-scenes at Yankee Stadium—including Derek Jeter's easy going nature, A-Rod's high-maintenance foibles, Hideki Matsui's inadvertent catchphrases, and Joe Torre's obsession with horses. more ›

After an off-season that was widely reviewed as a failure, the Yankees will take to the field tomorrow attempting to prove their detractors wrong. Yes, they didn’t land Cliff Lee and yes, they enter the season with big question mark hanging over their rotation. But the fact remains that this is still a pretty good ballclub. more ›

You know what rich people like? Staying rich! While it's unclear why exactly super-rich Yankees slugger and serial house hunter Alex Rodriguez finally decided to buy a $6 million place at the Rushmore condo, here's one factor that probably didn't hurt: The 421a tax break that will turn what could have been an annual $60,000+ tax bill into one that's just $1200 a year. more ›

Yesterday, Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner reminded many of his father when he complained his players were complacent last season (you know, because they lost in the AL Championship Series), "Sometimes you celebrate too much, players concentrating on building mansions and not concentrating on winning." And since captain Derek Jeter is building a 30,000 square foot home in Tampa, Steinbrenner had to be referring to him, right? Well, Jeter doesn't think so! more ›

Finally: Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez has finally found a place where Cameron Diaz can feed him some popcorn in privacy! The Wall Street Journal reports that Rodriguez is buying a a full-floor, five bedroom unit at the Rushmore condo development on Riverside Boulevard at 64th Street (basically south of Trumpistan), "Brokers confirmed that the sale price was between $5.5 and $6 million for the unit on the 35th floor but said a contract had not yet been drafted." more ›

The Super Bowl is already three days old, but certain controversies just won't go away. No, not the Groupon commercials, nor Christina Aguilera's National Anthem debacle, nor the Black Eyed Peas' Star Trek: The Next Generation halftime crapathon. Only one ridiculous controversy soars above all others: A-Rod and PopCorn gate. more ›

A-Rod hit three home runs in the Yankees' 8-3 win over the Royals. The Mets made three errors and lost to the Phillies 4-0. The Red Bulls fell to the Galaxy 1-0, while the Liberty clinched a playoff spot with their 107-69 victory against the Mercury. more ›

Perhaps he was feeling sentimental: Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez notched his 600th career home run exactly three years after he hit his 500th home run (in those days, he was Texas Ranger). ESPN says of the lofty achievement, "At 35 years, 8 days, Rodriguez became the youngest player in history to join the 600 Club, and the seventh player in baseball history to reach the milestone. He raised a hand slightly in triumph as he rounded first base, then completed his home run trot. He joined an elite club that includes Barry Bonds (762), Henry Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714), Willie Mays (660), Ken Griffey Jr. (630) and Sammy Sosa (609)." more ›

The slugger commented about how his life has changed since his 500th home run (you know, besides the steroids admission, a public break-up and then much-gossiped about relationships with famous women):

"I am enjoying the game more than I ever have. I get more enjoyment out of the little things, playing a team game, not trying to do too much. After winning a world championship with this team, there really is no comparison between a team accomplishment and a personal accomplishment. Those are nice but I have much better perspective. more ›

CC Sabathia's 30th birthday isn't until Wednesday, but that's a game day, so he held an early celebration at the 40/40 Club last night. The Daily News reports that Yankees great Reggie Jackson greeted him while his fellow pitchers Andy Pettitte, Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes and A.J. "I like punching stuff" Burnett made it, as did Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira, Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada. (Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Spike Lee were also in attendance.) Also: "While a 3-foot alligator in a tank drew plenty of attention, A-Rod and his hot date, Cameron Diaz, were a bigger attraction. A-Rod entered and left the party alone, but sources confirmed he was inside with Diaz." So, was the alligator more of an attraction than CC? more ›

The National League managed to defeat the American League, 3-1, during the All-Star Game in Anaheim, California last night. It's the first win for the NL since 1996 (the American League has won the 12 of the other 13 years; one year was a draw) and this also means the NL champion will have home field advantage during the World Series. The game was a pitchers' duel; American League manager and Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, "I think the pitching by both sides was excellent. It came down to one pitch in the game.” more ›

Surprise, surprise—Lady Gaga's scantily clad visit to the Yankees' clubhouse on Friday was news to Yankees brass. The Post reports that Yankees co-chairman Steinbrenner, manager Joe Girardi, and Cashman about Gaga's presence, and president Brian had no idea the performer was visiting the players: "In fact, when a Post reporter told Cashman about Gaga's presence, Cashman said, 'What? I didn't know that,' and stormed off." And now, by Hal's edict, she's permanently banned from the clubhouse! more ›

Finally, Lady Gaga was able to publicly demonstrate her love for the Yankees. The performer, who memorably flipped the bird at a Mets game last week, appeared at last night's Subway Series matchup between the Amazin's and Bombers. While it's unknown what she wore to enter the new Yankee Stadium, she was spotted in a luxury suite in a bra and underwear, with a Yankees jersey and a leopard print beret. So, in case you're keeping count: Vuvuzelas and iPads are banned at Yankee Stadium, Lady Gaga in underwear is A-OK! more ›

Who knew Kelly Taylor and Cameron Diaz had so much in common? When Playboy asked the movie star if she was dating Alex Rodriguez, she said, "No, no, no. I've been in relationships since I was 16-years old. In the past three years I’ve made a conscious decision not to be in a relationship for as long as I want. I've stayed away from all the traps out there for me to just fall into something that will potentially lead me down the same road ... I want to have a relationship with myself right now." Well, wasn't Cameron only dating A-Rod to get back at Kate Hudson? Anyway, we're betting the Yankee slugger dates someone blonde next. more ›

According to Page Six, paparazzi were annoying the Secret Service yesterday, all in the name of A-Rod! The photographers were outside of Serafina on the Upper East Side, while the agents were "closing the street for" Biden's arrival at the Regency Hotel. Page Six's source claims, "The agents asked them to move. It was comical to see the cameramen didn't care about the vice president -- they wanted A-Rod." Well, A-Rod was at the restaurant with Cameron Diaz. However, Diaz left the restaurant alone so the paparazzi had to ask Gay Talese if A-Rod was still there. Talese was ready with a response: "He's probably with some blonde in the bathroom." True, Alex Rodriguez does have blonde ambition. more ›

People magazine only looked at Alex Rodriguez's batting average during his romantic involvements with Madonna, Kate Hudson, and Cameron Diaz (his current girlfriend/whatever), so the Post decided to offer a comprehensive look at how well the slugger does with his various blondes—adding ex-wife Cynthia and stripper Joslyn Morse (she of the "Stray-Rod" cover) into the mix. more ›

Clearly believing that two Hollywood starlets will sell papers, the Daily News devoted front page real estate to the alleged spat between Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson over Alex Rodriguez. There's nothing new in the News' article, which is based on the US Weekly analysis of this verrrry exciting sorta/not quite love triangle. The Post mentions the feud in Page Six and has this quote from a "source close to" Kate Hudson: "Kate thinks Cameron is an aging old-lady actress struggling to remain sexy and relevant." Meow, indeed! more ›

OMG, this explains everything about A-Rod's relationship with Cameron Diaz. US Weekly claims she and Kate Hudson are "locked in a bitter battle over Alex Rodriguez... An insider believes Diaz is bedding Rodriguez as a form of retaliation after Hudson hooked up with Justin Timberlake in January 2007 -- just two days after the couple of four years split." The insider says, "Kate thinks it's payback, pure and simple," while Diaz's friend offers, "Cameron was actually in a serious long-term relationship with Justin. She thinks it's a joke Kate would be mad. Kate is only upset because she hates being single." Another claim: Hudson got breast implants after they broke up because A-Rod likes "busty women." more ›

So, Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz are dating. But before you assume you'll be spotting Diaz at Yankees games the way yesteryear's news Kate Hudson was, think again: A source tells Betty Confidential, "He doesn’t want what happened to him and Kate to happen between him and Cameron. Kate was at every New York game and then some and even went to Alex’s game practice. Things got too clingy too fast." The source adds, "Cameron is not really into baseball, so she wouldn’t want to go to all the games." She was apparently cool with just hanging out with A-Rod in their Boston hotel suite all weekend when the Yanks were playing the Red Sox. more ›

The grandmother who dissed A-Rod after her grandson Dallas Braden of the Oakland Athletics pitched a perfect game on Sunday is now rethinking the whole "Stick it, A-Rod" remark. Peggy Lindsey told ESPN yesterday, "That just kind of slipped out, I didn’t mean to say that. I was having questions fired at me. That was just the first thing that came to my mind. I was a little upset, it took a life of its own and, of course, I don’t like to hear anything negative about my grandson. That’s what came out." more ›

Oakland Athletics lefty Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game yesterday, making him the 19th pitcher in MLB history to do so. And what's more, his grandmother decided to continue Braden's fight with Alex Rodriguez by saying, after the perfect game, "Stick it, A-Rod." more ›

Yankees 7 Anaheim 5: The rain held off, the rings were distributed and the Yankees won. That’s about as close to perfect as you can get. Nick Johnson homered and A-Rod and Jeter added two RBI’s each. Andy Pettitte went six shutout innings with the bullpen backing him up until David Robertson faltered in the ninth. But, Mariano Rivera came in and shut the door to preserve the win and send the Yankees to their fifth win of the season. more ›

Tiger Woods is in Augusta, Georgia for this weekend's Masters golf tournament, sporting a new "rough-looking" goatee that made him look suspiciously like Evil Cartman. Per the Evil Parallel Universe, Evil Cartman is actually nicer than real Cartman, so maybe this is Woods's attempt to show people he's not a cheating husband who loves sexting his ladies on the side. He did say at a news conference, "All I know is I acted just terribly. I just made some incredibly bad decisions, decisions that hurt so many people close to me." more ›

It was quite a year for sports in the New York City area. The Yankees won their 27th World Championship, two brand new baseball stadiums opened (a total cost of nearly $2.5 billion), and Martin Brodeur set the record for most wins in NHL history. There were some ugly moments too — Serena Williams' explosion at the US Open, the Mets (again), the Nets, the Giants, and of course that Tiger Woods thing that you can't escape no matter where you live. more ›

Kate Hudson may be all about working out during the day, but the Post says she's downing dirty martinis once the sun goes down! They report she did just that last night at Strada 57 with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell — a source says she was drowning her sorrows after an expected phone call from alleged ex A-Rod never came. "She expected him to call [after a recent fight], but he didn't — instead he went to Miami and had a good time with a number of good-looking girls." Oh Kate, anyone with a portrait of themselves as a centaur isn't worth it. more ›

Taking tips from the NYU freshman who snapped shots of Jude Law during a private work out session, the NY Post has now splattered shots of Kate Hudson working out all over their pages. It's actually sort of creepy. more ›
