Madonna making her way to Miami, staying on Star Island. Both A-Rod and former BFF Rosie O'Donnell have living quarters there, but M favored finagling her own damn villa, like she could be anyone's houseguest without driving the host absolutely insane—A-Rod in par-tick. Madge's guitar player Monte Pittman was also seen in Ef-Hell-Ay, at the Martini party atop the Gansevoort. He was wearing a tragic Ed Hardy black jacket—I guess M's style is contagious...or part of his contract?—and boyfriend pulled an Owen Wilson and didn't wash his hands after going. Ew.
Guess Maddy requires her style be adopted by all her employees, on- and offstage. Less smelly elsewhere...
Jonathan Knight, the sensitive New Kid on the Block, was standing outside the Standard, downtown L.A. J.K. stood on the patio of the posh hotel smoking a cig, must be fun—and lethal. That can't be good for maintaining a boyish voice, Jonny! The comeback kid was all by his lonesome, prolly waiting for a former fan to approach him for an autograph. Or was everybody back in the day a Joey McIntyre follower? Maybe nobody recognized Knight-hon without his four other boy-band mates beside him.
