New
York
(ANI):
Queen
of
pop
Madonna's
relationship
with
baseball
star
Alex
Rodriguez
is
merely
a
publicity
stunt
say
reports.
According
to
a
source
close
to
both
Rodriguez
and
his
estranged
wife,
the
relationship
is
nothing
but
an
attention
seeking
stunt
for
Madge's
upcoming
"Sticky&Sweet" concert
tour.
The
world
concert
tour
will
begin
Aug
23
in
Cardiff,
Wales,
and
Madonna
has
already
sold
out
her
four
nights
in
October
at
Madison
Square
Garden.
"You
cannot
buy
this
kind
of
publicity," New
York
Post
quoted
the
source,
who
has
spoken
to
both
A-Rod
and
Cynthia
Rodriguez
in
the
last
two
weeks.
"I
equate
it
to
Madonna
braiding
her
hair.
She
got
everyone
talking
about
her.
She
got
Alex
to
come
to
her
apartment.
She''s
not
going
to
(Rodriguez''s)
house
so
she
looks
like
a
home
wrecker.
"She
got
her
husband
(Guy
Ritchie)
to
fly
over
from
London.
She
introduced
another
celebrity
to
Kabbalah.
And
oh,
by
the
way,
she''s
going
on
tour
soon
in
Europe.
This
is
just
another
chapter
in
her
re-inventing
herself,"
the
source
said.
It
was
only
on
July
7
that
the
singer
broke
her
silence
on
the
alleged
affair,
denying
that
there
was
anything
going
on
between
her
and
A-Rod
and
also
insisting
that
her
marriage
with
Ritchie
is
intact.
As
to
the
baseball
star"s
interest
in
Kabbalah,
the
source
insisted
that
it
is
a
genuine
thing,
as
A-Rod
has
been
searching
for
the
"right
path"
to
mental
and
spiritual
peace.
