If A-Rod Throws a Party and No One Shows, Is It Still a Party?

Forget pity parties. Alex Rodriguez can’t even throw a genuinely festive bash after the All-Star game and have people show up.
His New York Yankees teammates blew him off as did Madonna (yes, he had the stones to invite her, according to the New York Post via Yahoo!). Mom-Rod was there as well as Madonna’s daughter, […]

A-Rod’s Week: Tie Mickey Mantle’s HRs, Have Wife File for Divorce

Welcome to the world of New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Yesterday, he tied Mickey Mantle’s 536 HRs. (The good news is, we were at Yankee Stadium to see it. The bad news is, the Boston Red Sox lost. Yeah, more about that experience tomorrow.)

C-Rod on A-Rod: Madonna’s Kabbalah Brainwashed Him

So here we are, sitting in our room at the Mercer and waiting out a rain delay for the Federer–Nadal final at Wimbledon. (Psst—speaking of Wimbledon, Venus Williams proved for the fifth time that she’s Queen of Centre Court). Since we’re headed to enemy territory—you know, a Sox-Yanks game at Yankee Stadium—we’re passing the time by focusing on the misfortune […]
