(Newser) – Will the drama never end? Alex Rodriguez should have known Madonna would be "pissed" when he ran back to ex-wife Cynthia as he did damage control after Saturday's steroids bombshell, the New York Daily News reports. “To Madonna, this is the ultimate dis,” says an insider, adding that A-Rod’s handlers are intentionally keeping him away from the pop queen: “He has enough negative publicity as it is.”

Professional athletes should never be held up as role models. I'm not excusing Arod, but his job isn't to be an example for little johnny. Hell, even our political and religious leaders can't come close to being one, with few exceptions. We need to be the role models for our children.

Let's see if I have this correct. Madonna, who chested on her husband with a man who chested on his wife, who she than cheated on with another younger man is upset because the man she cheated with went back to his wife? Madonna is a waste, all she is lloking like is double standard woman complaining because the man she had an affair with is upset left her because he couldn't handle her other affairs

Now why isn't anyone pointing out how bad of a role model A-Rod is turning out to be. Steroids and affairs with other women, the very center of American pop-culture.

Police Catch Escaped Madonna Stalker

Robert Dewey Hoskins hadn't been seen since last Friday

(NEWSER) - The man who was convicted of stalking Madonna and threatening to slit her throat in the 1990s was apprehended today, after escaping a week ago from the Los Angeles mental health facility where he's been held since last year. Police told the AP that Robert Dewey Hoskins, 54, was taken into custody in Long Beach, about 8 miles from the hospital. Hoskins was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 1996 after climbing the wall around her Hollywood home and jumping into her pool; he was shot twice by one of her guards. More»

MIA Flips Bird in Super Bowl Halftime Show

Apparently she cusses, too, just like in song's original version

(NEWSER) - What would a Super Bowl halftime show be without a pop star doing something fairly outrageous? But halftime queen Madonna wasn't this year's provoker; it was her guest star—political dance maven MIA, who ended her performance during Madonna's "Give Me All Your Luvin" by flipping the audience her middle finger, and apparently saying "I don't give a shit," reports AP .

Madonna's Halftime Show: Aging or Ageless?

Most of the comments surround Madge's youth ... or lack thereof

(NEWSER) - Madonna's big halftime show is over, and the peanut gallery is fairly evenly split—but the topic of the evening is clearly age. Plenty of people are giving her the thumbs up for looking so great at 53. Others think the cheerleader/pom-pom bit was a little ... young. She was joined by LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, MIA, and Cee Lo, and ran through classics like "Vogue" and "Like a Prayer," along with new single "Give Me All Your Luvin." Highlights from the Twitterverse: Some ladies in Hollywood (and ladies in general) are impressed with her appearance. For example, @kirstiealley : "Could Madonna look any more gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!?????? Jeez!!!!!!! This is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!! Genius!!!" More»

Madonna Cut Her Own Daughter From Film

Lourdes' 'WE' scenes ended up on cutting room floor

(NEWSER) - Madonna "dragged" daughter Lourdes into a small part in her new movie WE ... and then cut her from it. "It was quite unfair of me, what I did and what I asked her to do," the Material Girl tells MTV in a recent interview. "But she was really great, and then I ended up cutting her out of the film. Ruthless, I know. I said, 'Sorry babe, you're on the cutting room floor.' She took it like a champ." (Not too surprising, considering Madonna's children reportedly have to schedule meetings to see their mom .) More»

Elton's Hubby Slams 'Narcissistic' Madonna

Globes win sets David Furnish off

(NEWSER) - The longstanding Elton John-Madonna feud showed no signs of cooling down last night, when John's husband David Furnish took to Facebook to slam Madonna after she beat out John in the best song category. "Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!" he wrote, according to TMZ . Furnish continued, "Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it's narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is." For his part, John looked none too pleased when the cameras cut to him during Madonna's acceptance speech (watch at left). More»
