Well, Madonna has always been a lightning A-Rod rod for controversy. And her marriage is no exception.
Once again, the Queen of Pop's rep is putting the kibosh on reports of trouble in faux-accented paradise, including an Us Weekly cover story that suggests the Material Mom is looking to bench Guy Ritchie so she can play ball with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.
"Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last-ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving)," said Madonna's longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg. "There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce."
Rosenberg reiterated to E! News her statement to People that set the record straight on the nature of her client's relationship with Rodriguez.
Addressing Us Weekly's insinuation-laden report, which not only recounts Rodriguez's late-night comings and goings at Madonna's New York City apartment but makes a meal of Madonna's recent appearance at a Yankees game, Rosenberg had a less salacious explanation.
"Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary," she said. "They have met. They know each other, and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There's really not anything to comment on beyond that."
Well, maybe one thing, just to be proactive.
"It's nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna's way lately—much of it untrue...By the way, rumors of Madonna and Lil' Wayne are quite exaggerated as well."
Duly noted.
