Filing The Paperwork

Filed under: Zportz > Legal Matters > Alex Rodriguez

wenn1470200.jpg

Cynthia Rodriguez has retained legal counsel and intends to file for divorce from New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez on Monday.

C-Rod has hired Houston attorney Earle Lilly to head a team of lawyers, including Maurice Kutner of Miami, in a big bucks and sure-to-be bitter divorce case against her husband, A-Rod.

Lilly confirmed his hiring and says he was retained within the last week.

The divorce case will be played out in Dade County (Fla.) Family Court.

The suit cites a "long period of infidelity on the part or Mr. Rodriguez, an all-star baseball player for the New York Yankees." It also claims "emotional abandonment."

Cynthia is back in Miami after her getaway in Paris with "friend" Lenny Kravitz and is not available for comment on the advice of her attorneys.

A-Rod has yet to speak himself on this past week's dramz.

Stay tuned for all the latest!

    So much for Perez's exclusive that nothing was going on between Madonna and Arod. I heard on the news their affair was the final straw for the wife after years of him cheating. Madonna must be loving the publicity, since her CD bombed. Her slutty ways is what she has always been more famous for. I guess she is sick of trying to be a proper upper class English woman and is back to screwing young, Hispanic hunks.

    Damn, she looks evil. ARod is too good for her and so is Lenny. You know she thought Lenny was going to take her along on tour. That's why she left her kids at home. If he hit it I see he is not owning up to it. :)

    I'm soooo glad a woman married to a rich man is FINALLY ditching his ass after he cheats on her. Cynthia is smart to walk away and deal with his cheating-ways. It's not worth being arm-candy….even with millions of dollars. Debbie Clemens should've learned to do that.

    Earle Lilly's firm, Piro & Lilly, handled my divorce five years ago. Lilly is a bad-ass mother when it comes to custody cases. A-Rod is FUCKED.

    I will always like Alex Rodriguez because when I was 9 years old at Fenway Park in Boston in 1996 (A-Rod's breakthrough year) and the game got delayed before the first innning cause of rain delay, and Ken Griffey, Jr. (who was the biggest name in baseball at the time) was a prick and wasn't coming out of the dugout signing autographs, nor was anyone else, except Alex who signed my baseball :)

    On a more relevant topic, whether she looks older than he or not, Cynthia is BANGIN!

    A-Rod is obsessed with Madonna! From today's NY Post:

    And even when A-Rod wasn't with Madonna, she was there in spirit, according to Romero.
    "He'd be in the gym and if a Madonna video would come on, he'd go into a trance," Romero said.
    And when A-Rod is driving in his car, he'll only listen to Madonna music, the trainer said.

    ***
    He also wrote a letter to Madonna saying she was his "true soul mate"!
    Google it!

    Why doesn't A-Rod just "O.J." her, and be done with it…???

    06 July - Madonna, the undisputed Queen of the UK chart
    Give It 2 Me breaks into the Top 20 of the UK singles chart this week, which means *all* of Madonna's 66 singles entered the Top 20! Even if one of Madonna's next singles end this unbelievable record, it is very unlikely that there would be any other female artist ever who could match this feat. Also, it's the first time since 1985 that Madonna occupies 2 consecutive positions in the Top 20 as 4 Minutes is #17 while Give It 2 Me is #18. On top of all this great news, chart watchers point out that Madonna has just gathered her 700th (!) week on the UK singles chart, the 4th among all artists. Not to mention that by next week, she's expected to pass 16 million copies of singles sold, which is also the 4th highest among all artists. Needless to say only male artists are above Madonna in both categories (as with the total number of chart-topper singles), which means Madonna is undoubtedly the most successful female artist ever in the UK, and it is no exaggeration by any means to call her the Queen of the UK chart!
    You can read more chart news or you can check out the chart runs of Madonna's latest album and singles on worldwide charts!

    HE IS NOTHING BUT A RICH MONKEY WITH A BANK ACCOUNT, NOTHING ELSE. THIS IS WHAT A MORAL, CLASSY, SMART, LOVELY, WHITE WOMAN GETS FOR MARRYING THIS THING. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER SINCE SHE DAMNED HER OWN LIFE BY MARRYING HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHOEVER HEARD OF A FAITHFUL NIGGA CAPABLE OF KEEPING HIS MATRIMONIAL VOWS. AS FAR AS MADONNA IS CONCERNED, SHE IS NOTHING BUT WHITE TRASH WITH MONEY! NO MORALS WHATSOEVER AND BELOW THE DIRT ON THE SOLES OF GUY RITCHIE'S FEET!

    Alex Rodriguez can (an will do) much better as a single man

    the whole Madonna "cheating" angle is simply as stupid
    and as foolish as all the narrow minded trash who believe it

    why do handsome, rich, professional athletes like A-Rod
    even bother to marry in the first place?

    a man like A-Rod is best when he is free to be single, and not
    tied down to some post-pardom nut-case like his soon to be ex-wife

    i mean…just look at her…what was A-Rod thinking when he married
    that thing to begin with??? (and worse…they have 2 kids together)

    hopefully, A-Rod was smart enough to get his soon
    to be ex-wife to sign a pre-nup

    i guess lenny kravitz got tired of having to hear A-Rod's nut-case
    wife babble on about her sad little life…so he sent her gapping hole
    back here to the USA

    ah well…

    She looks like a psycho bitch. She knew last year she was going to divorce him after he cheated the last time. Why would she have another baby unless she was out to get more money? Madonna might have enjoyed a little tryst but she's not leaving her husband or admitting to it. I see Lenny is not admitting to anything either. :)

    Mrs. Rodriguez is smart. She believed A-Rod once, and he lied and cheated on her again. Time to dump his sorry self, get the big bucks, and get someone worthy of her and her kids.

    I have never liked him there is something so dirty and rotten about him that before I couldn't put my finger on, now I know that he is a fuckin lying piece of shit. She can and will do better. He was raised in a shack and not worth what the Yankees pay him. I hope he gets hit in the head by a baseball and dies.

    While I think she was crazy for having a baby right after she found out he was cheating the last time, he is a sack of crap for even getting married in the first place. I get it A Rod-you are hot, worth tons of money, can have your pick of most women. Why not just be like Jeter? I don't understand guys that get married and have no desire to be tied down. Now A Rod is going to be abadoning his family just like his father did to him. Derek Jeter has more common sense than A Rod. He can date whoever he wants without worrying about someone taking him for all he is worth. I always thought that his wife looked kinda mean as well, but now I see she was probably just pissed off that he was always cheating. I feel bad for the kids. I hope he atleast sticks by them, since he didn't do that to his wife that he vowed to stay with!

    Singer Britney Spears has indeed been asked to shoot a video for Madonna's new tour and it's not going to be a video interlude, but a video used while Madonna is singing on stage.

    The video is for the exciting new live version of Human Nature, that as previously revealed by MadonnaTribe it's the third song on the Sticky & Sweet tour setlist.

    The video will be directed by the one and only Steven Klein, that as previously reported here, will take care of two brand videos for the show, one for an oldie (this one) and one for a new track off Hard Candy.

    The original idea behind Human Nature 2008 was to give out an updated version of the song by showing the artists, mainly troubled young hollywood stars, that are being treated as "bitches" by the world press and media, in a similar way they did with Madonna back in 1992 when she the main target of such media attentions.

    But Britney is now the main star of the screen video, and while musically Human Nature 2008 originally contained spoken samples of Gimme More, now the concept has been expanded even more with samples of the track, making it longer and cooler and it can easily be described as a sort Human Nature/Gimme More mash up!

    i am not a huge fan of madonna but i do not think she is at fault. for all we know cynthia was a gold digger from the get go. arod is no angel either, he is a womanizer and i would not blame him. look at the guy. i do think the divorce will get nasty but cynthia will not get as much money as people think becuase he made her sign a pre-nup. that being said, this whole story sounds like a madonna pr stunt…
