Madonna and A-Rod Are Back At It!

Now that Alex Rodriguez is divorced, Madonna seems to have no problem whatsoever moving back in for the kill.   They dined together Thursday night at Dos Caminos Third in Manhattan with two other companions.

"Madonna entered  through the front door half an hour after A-Rod arrived," the source tells Star. "She had her security guards check the exits before she sat down at the quiet table. The foursome passed on cocktails but enjoyed stories that Madonna was telling, laughing often."

The "we're not together" pair left out separate exits, which to me looks like guilt right there.  Poor Guy Ritchie!  He seems too nice to have to deal with Madge's lunacy.

Madonna and A-Rod? Seriously?

What is up with these rumors that Madonna and Alex Rodriguez have been gettin' it on?   Even Keith Olberman is talking about it!   OK Magazine breaks it down, noting that these two have been spending a lot of time together.

Last October, Madonna and A-Rod were spotted working up a sweat at Reebok Sports Club NY in Manhattan. Months later, the sports hero attended the singer's charity Raising Malawi, where Madonna reportedly introduced him to her unimpressed 11-year old daughter Lourdes.

Then, in May, A-Rod attended the singer's show at NYC's Roseland Ballroom, and partied with her afterwards at The Box nightclub until early morning.

The New York Daily News reports that the baseball star has made "numerous late-night visits to Madonna's Central Park West apartment" and that he "has been seen arriving alone... and sneaks out of sneaks out of Madge's building 'as late as midnight.'"

Madonna's rep echoes her mother-in-law's exhortations that the singer is not divorcing husband Guy Ritchie... sort of.  "No comment at this time is all I'm prepared to say now."  Well.  We all know what "no comment" means, right?

Madonna's Mother In Law: "They Are Not Getting Divorced"

Tired of the rumors about her son Guy Ritchie's supposedly impending divorce from Madonna, Lady Amber Leighton has spoken out.  She said:

"They are no different to most other couples and we all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses.

"But like other couples they work at keeping their relationship happy and fresh and they are a close and loving couple who have a family to bring up."

She adds, "Madonna is in New York at the moment finishing off a tour and he will join her there after the weekend. That is not a couple splitting up. I'll say it one more time, they are not getting divorced."

Well OK,then!  The lady has spoken!  But what of the news that Madge had hired Paul McCartney's divorce attorney?  We'll keep an eye on this - and keep you posted.

Madonna May Get Divorced, Lose Fake British Accent

Rumors abound that Madonna and husband, Guy Ritchie, are over.  Maybe she's still angry over the way he'd fall asleep during their trendy, Beverly Hills group Kabbalah meditations.  Whatever the reasons, according to News of the World - now there's a blockbuster source - Madonna seems intent to end it with Ritchie and move back to New York with their children Lourdes, Rocco, and David.  Apparently, they've been leading quite separate lives for the past several months.  Not surprising.  Rumors of their marriage problems have been circulating since late 2006.  When he didn't show up at her induction into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, the break-up buzz went wild.

Aside from the upheaval that always accompanies a divorce, including the family's possible relocation without Ritchie, what's going to happen to that fake British accent Madonna's been cultivating the last few years?  Ok, so maybe she did pick up some of vernacular and a bit of the royal twang honestly.  It happens.  But for a girl who seemed to take pride in her New York-esque accent and demeanor, she went "native" awfully quick. 

Madonna was only 23 when she broke out with "Like A Virgin."  At 49, she's allowed to have gone through a few changes.  The Madonna of the 21st century, though, is a far cry from the persona she projected in the early days.  If she thought the "Queen's English" - and accent - would make her seem more sophisticated, well, I doubt the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame or the rest of the world gives a damn.  If the split news is true, though, it'll be interesting to see her next phase of re-invention. 

Let's check the list:  She's already worn the cone bra; married Sean Penn; had sex with a black Jesus; produced a sex book; played Eva Peron; dated Vanilla Ice; made out with Britney - who could easily be her daughter; joined a Kaballah cult; adopted a Malawi child; declared herself the "ambassador for Judaism"; and recently produced an album cover making her look like a middle-aged woman trying to recapture her youth and failing miserably.  Perhaps she could shock the world again by settling down, raising her kids, and staying out of the limelight for awhile.  I'm sure, however, that's just not her style.

 

Why the Hell Is Madonna In the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame?

I'm the first to admit that Madonna is the undisputed Queen of Pop.  She paved the way for lesser talents such as Britney, Hillary Duff, and even Xtina.  In a testament to her musical endurance she transformed herself throughout the 90's into the 21st century.  And at the age of 49 she continues to command diva-like respect for her innovation and presence.  With all due respect, however, why the HELL has been inducted to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame?

To the best knowledge of anyone over the age of 25, Madonna never even performed a rock song, let alone cut a rock album.  Her induction can mean only one thing; that the Hall needed to spice things up after long induction runs of classic rock bands from the 60's and 70's.  Just like Jacko's induction a few years back, it's all a ploy to bring in an audience under the age of 40.  The induction committee probably jumped at the chance to get someone who's sold as many albums as she has.  Like the Grammy's, it's all about sales figures.  Funny thing, Madonna refused to perform any of her songs at the induction.  It's likely she knew that none of her songs even fit the "rock" genre and would have been embarrassed.

I understand wanting to honor Madonna for her years of service to pop music, but let's face it.  Her induction is the equivalent of the National Football League inducting Beck's simply because he's a great soccer player who can help sell a lot of game tickets.

Hey, Hall of Fame, what about some other performers that actually fall into the rock category like Rush, Styx, or Journey?  I guess there's always next year for those guys.  "Don't Stop Believin'."
