This thing is getting HOT.

Madonna spent this weekend doing tour dates in Mexico City — and whaddya know? Alex Rodriguez also spent this weekend in Mexico City, teaching kids to bat at a new sports center built on a landfill in the poor suburb of Nezahualcoyotl. He was invited to inaugurate the sports center by Mexico’s richest man, Carlos Slim, whose Telmex Foundation sponsored its construction. The site includes two baseball diamonds and 25 soccer fields.

When Alex was asked by reporters about the scheduling coincidence, he said it was “very good,” refusing to comment further.

Meanwhile, Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour brought in $91.5M from its U.S. and Canada dates alone.

Counting her European run, Madonna is at about $207.5 million in ticket sales and on a pace to hit about $282 million when the Mexico/South America leg of the tour wraps. That would make Sticky & Sweet the top-grossing tour ever by a female artist or solo artist.

Very impressive, Miss Madge.

Well, the rest of the media is finally getting around to reporting what I told you guys over a day ago: Alex Rodriguez was sitting front-row at the Madonna concert on Wednesday night in Miami.

In fact, he even handed her a water bottle. “It was easy for him to hand it off because he was sitting in the front row,” says an eyewitness. “He was all excited watching her perform.”

The two spent the entire day together on Wednesday before the show.

If they were trying to hide their relationship before, they’re not anymore.

So why did A-Rod make the public appearance with his family on Tuesday night? Why would his wife have co-signed on that? I totally understand them spending time together for the good of the kids, but why invite the paparazzi? The day before he’s going to publicly debut his relationship with Madge? It doesn’t make any sense at all. It makes them all look like douchebags, IMHO. Theories?

Despite rumors today that their divorce is getting very messy and that Alex Rodriguez was ditching out on his family to spend Thanksgiving with Madonna, A-Rod, his wife, and their two children made a very public appearance at Houston’s in Miami on Tuesday night, making damn sure the photogs were aware that they would be there.

Quick damage control!

What do you guys think???

Are they really the happy family they seem to be??

And more importantly: Why the hell would you take kids that young to Houstons?

Hmmm …

A-Rod’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Cynthia Rodriguez, has reportedly written a scathing email to a friend which “leaked” to the press:

My 6-foot-3, 220-pound soul-less, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna … She called and he ran on her command back to New York City … Gross!

Listen, I don’t claim to know much in this world, but I can say with a fair amount of certainty that A-Rod’s wife is nowhere near that adept with a hyphen. This shit was written by a publicist.

It may, however, be true that Alex is ditching his fam to spend Thanksgiving with Madonna and her kiddos, which might be shitty, unless there’s some sort of agreement in place that Cynthia gets the kids this holiday and is just trying to make A-Rod look bad in the press.

Either way, I don’t really give a shit.

I’ll make the same comment I always make: Not enough gratuitous shots of Michael Phelps’ penis. I don’t think I can get behind this product. But I sure as hell can get behind Michael Phelps … and in front of him, and on top of him, and on my side and in the shower and in the dressing rooms of the Speedo store and … I should stop now.

Thanks GrumpyGirl80!

New reports are saying that Madge and A-Rod were hooking up much earlier than previously believed — in fact, they were getting frisky while Rodriguez’s wife was seven months pregnant!

I’ve told you about A-Rod’s multi million dollar ‘love shack’ in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel’s condos over on Columbus Avenue. A-Rod, according to sources, moved in around the middle of March, right before baseball season began.

There’s no question, according to insiders, that Madonna has been a steady presence at the apartment ever since then. She sort of came with the package. According to sources, Rodriguez rented the apartment without ever speaking of his wife, Cynthia. She would have been around seven months pregnant at the time.

The apartment on Columbus Circle would have kept him just five blocks from Madonna’s home base on Central Park West.

I think it’s just starting to sink in for me that MADONNA IS SINGLE AGAIN!!!

This is going to be SO MUCH FUN.

Eh, I personally don’t believe this for a second, but a British tab is reporting that a Madonna/A-Rod sex tape exists, and that a cameraman who owns the footage is trying to sell it.

Madonna’s reps are refusing to comment, probably because such a bullshit story doesn’t warrant a comment.
