The renewal of vows between Madonna and Ritchie supposedly took place over the weekend in a Kabbalah ceremony in London. Madonna, who recently turned 50, is about to embark on a world tour. Ritchie, who is about to turn 40, is off to plan his birthday part. Rodriguez, who is 9.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL West, is trying to find a way to lead the New York Yankees to the playoffs with a wife ready to divorce him and an alleged girlfriend on the side who appears to no longer be a girlfriend.

Will Alex Rodriguez look past his relationship troubles long enough to lead the Yankees?

The Madonna and Rodriguez sex tape is said to take place on the couch that is owned by Madonna’s friend. While neither Madonna nor Rodriguez have acknowledged existence of the tape, lawyers are looking into the matter.

Currently, Madonna is still married and Rodriquez just split up with his wife Cynthia. The sex tape may or may not exist, but this Madonna and Rodriguez video will be another thing the press will explore in the coming weeks.

When Alex Rodriguez and Madonna are involved in a story, people are interested. That will be especially true if a sex tape is eventually released.

Did Madonna cause the breakup between Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez?

Cynthia Rodriguez is saying that Madonna’s use of Kabbalah has resulted in some kind of mystique Jewish mind-control on Alex Rodriguez. Due to that, she says, A-Rod has turned cold and is now under the control of Madonna.

Seeing how the Yankees have lost five of their last six games, Madonna might try to use Kabbalah to help out New York’s team. If it works well enough to get A-Rod to leave his wife, it should help the Yankees get a few wins.

The last we heard about the Yankees superstar third baseman and his wife, they seemed happy. The two were celebrating the birth of their second child. Cynthia even gave an account of how Alex Rodriguez choked in the delivery room.

Three months later, the couple has seperated. Some reports have even linked Cynthia with Lenny Kravitz. Cynthia and Kravitz supposedly were seen in Paris — however, Kravitz maintains it was the two are just friends.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. Will A-Rod trade in the wife for Madonna? Will Cynthia leave Alex for Lenny? I guess we’ll find out.

The good news for Yankees fans is that Rodriguez is swinging the bat well. After a relatively slow start, Rodriguez is hitting .316 with 17 homers and 47 RBI. In the month of June, Rodriguez had nine homers and hit .366.

Will Alex Rodriguez stay with his wife Cynthia or are the Madonna rumors real?

• Top 5 italian words you really don’t want to mispronounce (Bleeding Espresso). Not sure the difference between “scappare” and “scopare”? Might want to check that:
  

  Well, the other meaning for scopare is a slang term for, um, making love, and may not be something you’d like to share with, say, your mother-in-law.

  Good advice, but I still want to know what Simontacchi means.

Tom Hanks, you may recall, starred in 1992’s A League of Their Own, which despite featuring both Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell, was a pretty good baseball movie. Hey, if nothing else, it gave us, “There’s no crying in baseball.”
