Madonna and her adopted three year-old son, David Banda, on 10/1/08
Never one to let the spotlight fade, Madonna tried to stir up a gossip frenzy by having dinner with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez on Tuesday in NYC. Madonna is in town for her Sticky & Sweet Tour, which has five sold out shows in the Big Apple, and was taking advantage of some alone time with her once rumored fling.
Madonna and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez took in a cozy dinner for two at Dos Caminos Third Avenue on Tuesday a source told Usmagazine.com.
They pair ate at an alcove-like table in the back.
“They seemed very close,” a source told Usmagazine.com.

The rumor mill was in full swing back in July amidst whispers of a Madonna/Guy Ritchie split and a documented messy divorce between Alex Rodriguez and his wife of four years, Cynthia. Cynthia Rodriguez initially cited a physical affair between the stars in the divorce then changed it to “an affair of the heart” as the divorce progressed. Madonna and Guy, on the other hand, stepped up efforts to appear the happily-married couple every chance they got.
Madonna and A-Rod denied the affair, claiming they only knew each other through their shared manager, but inever explained the late night visits to Madonna’s apartment Rodriguez was spotted making. Many people speculated that if they weren’t having an affair, Madonna must be (red) roping him into Kabbalah in private. But Madonna claimed that wasn’t true, either.
Madonna herself also set the record straight on that matter, saying “I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study.”

One explanation for Madonna’s quiet meetings with Rodriguez is Raising Malawi. A-Rod has reportedly donated over $500,000 to Madonna’s charity. That kind of money deserves some face time. The question remains, though, if other body parts got time too?

Madonna love to keep the rumors swirling, – Isn’t Guy Ritchie in London shooting Sherlock Holmes? Convenient eh?
Those scary arms again….
David Banda looks so bored with the new cheekbones.
Is David wearing a yamulke ? Tell me that’s just a very small beanie.
@Bree – Yeah, I think it’s a yamulke, too. Plus the red string. She probably took him to a service at The Kabbalah Center for Rosh Hashannah (or however it’s spelled, apologies to the Jews).
‘The question remains, though, if other body parts got time too?’:D
Kaiser:D Cheek Chicken Cutlets:D
@Daisy – Exactly. Like her cheeks are independent from the rest of her face. 😯
@Kaiser: I shoulda known that, because nothing says repentance, forgiveness and joy like a super shiny black gym suit topped off with a mesh back hat.
What’s next, Daisy Mae cutoffs and Ed Hardy for Yom Kippur ?
Kaiser, they look like they are too big and straining against her skin, almost shiny 😯 or maybe that’s the mini face lift also 😀
@Daisy – Ten bucks says she got a waddlectomy at the same time. Her neck looks too veiny and tight to be natural.
@Bree – Yom Kippur will be the bold fashion statement of a purple track suit. And the thought of this version of Madonna in Daisy Dukes makes me *barfy*
Am I the only person who feels supreme annoyance at the mockery of Judaism that is Kabbalah? I guess I should just be relieved that it’s a relatively harmless cult.
Syko, no, it annoys me too. And I don’t think it’s even that harmless. Granted, it’s no CoS. But some of the Kabbalah business/religious practices are very sketchy.
$26 for 7 bracelets worth of red string on the Kabbalah site. That’s approx 42″ of red string for $26. It wards off evil apparently. How do people buy into this stuff?
The red string isn’t even Jewish. It’s a little something they threw in there, probably to make money.
There was a song years and years ago about “The Games People Play” and one line went “People walking up to you, singing ‘glory hallelujah’, then they try to sock it to you in the name of the Lord.” Ain’t that the truth?
But that string’s guranteed to keep to keep you safe from the evil eye, the stink eye and the eye yay yay. Imbued at the tomb of Rachel with the protective power of motherlove and flown back for punters, I mean devotees to buy. Re: how evil is this group ? They peddle Madonna’s heinously awful childrens books with the intent of exposing actual children to them. I rest my case.
New strapline for Kabbalah. Brilliant, B!
But I thought Madonna WAS the evil eye, stink eye and eye yay yay! You mean it’s someone else?
Possibly Tom Cruise.
God that’s a cute kid. I hope he ends up ok.
She looks like gollum.
And I clench my teeth when I see them dressed in their weird all white outfits. What the f? I see Demi and Ashton do that too. It just creeps me the hell out.
The 80’s are over Madonna. Go home and raise your kids.
thank you kindly @geronimo, they’re welcome to it if they give each poster on this thread a lifetime supply of authentic Kaballah brand red string. No knock offs either, I can spot a fake. After all Thanksgiving’s right around the corner and that turkey isn’t going to truss itself. 🙂
ZOMG she HAS become the long lost sister of LOTR’s
gollum! My precious!
David is a big kid now, why doesn’t she let him walk?
madonna has always been an attention wh*re. man, i cant stand this lady
She covers her eyes because they have become wonky from surgery, they no longer look symetrical. She’ll do ANYTHING to promote herself. Even if it casts aspersions on her marriage and by default, her family and her husbnd. Way to go famewhore!
Why do Madonna and Angelina insist on holding their big children instead of letting them stand next to them or walk. So many celebs treat their children or their pets as accessories. For God’s sake, give your kids some space. It’s too smothering and really bad for mom’s back anyway, especially Madonna’s aging spine.
