Page Six has identified male model Jesus Luz as Madonna’s newest conquest. Don’t you appreciate that I didn’t call him “boy toy”? Because seriously, almost every article I’ve read about this hook-up calls him that. I won’t call her “Material Girl” either. They met while doing a W magazine photo shoot. A source said “Everyone knows they are ficando- which is a Portuguese expression that means they are kissing and doing other things but without any obligation of being faithful or getting into a relationship afterwards.” I never knew this job would require so much Portuguese translating but the English word for “ficando” is “fucking”. I wonder how A-Rod feels about this.
In other news, as Madonna continued the interminable Sticky & Sweet tour in Sao Paolo, she supposedly started crying when many of her fans sang Evita songs to her. She probably didn’t emote that much writing out a $80M check to Guy. But masses of people singing their adoration for her to her? Floods of soy-based tears.
The ex-couple issued a joint statement today, regarding reports that their divorce settlement included Guy getting around $80M from Madge:
“We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest. A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children.”
Why did they use the word “co-parents” rather than “parents”?
I’m sick today. This is probably related to my decision yesterday to run 3.1 miles in the freezing cold alongside thousands of other germ colonies (read: people). I spent the better part of the morning at the doctor’s office, and I do have to give mad props to my new insurance company, GroupHealth, which costs less than my old COBRA insurance and has been totally awesome and easy to work with and the doctors and techs have been very nice. So just a little tip for anyone in the northwest getting laid off and in need of health insurance. I spent a super duper long time researching health insurance when I moved out here, and I think I made a good decision. But the point of all this is that I might be spending the afternoon sleeping instead of writing much. Don’t worry about me, though. I have my dog here to take care of me. And by “take care of me” I of course mean “lick my face and try to steal my food.”
I will, however, note that Madonna has settled her divorce … for around $80M. The exact amount hasn’t been determined, but Madonna’s publicist says that she’d “assume it’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement.” Awesome. Madonna gave Guy all of her British properties and a bunch of cash. “She’s got no interest in remaining here,” said a UK entertainment lawyer. “She’s relocating and moving back to New York. It’s money she’s already paid out — what is she going to do, try to sell the houses in a flagging market?”
For shits and giggles, there’s a fun clip above of Madonna falling on her ass at a show in Rio. The fun starts around 0:35.
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.
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?
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.
@jay, couldn’t agree more. He finally rushed for +1000 yards in a season..just focus on your career. I think the kardashians are bad juju, look what happened to Odem…and Scott is Kourtney’s little bi#$%.
