Awww, Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez broke up earlier this week. Now who am I going to not care about as I don't watch Yankees games (der a buncha bums). Aparently, though, that was the exact reason they ended thier relationship - Kate wanted more attention at the games and Alex wanted to hit her in the face with a baseball.

"[Hudson] wanted more camera time each and every game," the pal tells Usmagazine.com. "She would always want to be styled before games and she'd insist on front-row seats." Her motivation, the friend says, was more of a PR move than genuine devotion. "It was a turnoff to have a girlfriend who always wanted to be on camera," the source quips. "Alex wanted someone who was more interested in building a long-term relationship than just building their profile."

For those confused by the timeline of the couple's split and who initiated what, the A-Rod friend insists that "he broke up with her over a week ago," but they continued to spend time together publicly after the fact. "Alex wanted to end this relationship well over a month ago," the source says, but the baseball star, 34, didn't want to disrupt Hudson's premieres and promotional events for her new film Nine. "He felt that would be counterproductive and unfair to her."

And while many reports claim that a jealous Rodriguez "smothered" Hudson, 30, the friend suggests the opposite was the case, observing, "She seemed compelled to track and follow his every move" during his busy pre- and post-season schedule.

Ultimately, the pal says that Hudson tried to give Rodriguez "an ultimatum" and to "fast track" the relationship. "He's just coming off of a 13-year relationship with his ex-wife and a recent divorce," the friend points out. "He has two lovely children with his ex-wife, and that requires a certain amount of responsibility. She gave him ultimatums that a newly divorced father can't meet."

The friend says that things ended amicably -- and maturely. "They're two mature adults. She did take the relationship seriously, and he has a lot of respect for her. They had some really wonderful times together."

If there is one thing to say for both of them, it's that they handled their relationship very well in public. They both looked very calm and collected, even now. Of course, when the doors shut and Kate begins sobbing uncontrollably and throwing Alex's awards at him, well, there's a reason she was great in How To Lose A Guy.... Which, uh, I never saw. Ever. I've never even seen a copy of the DVD case, I swear!

Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez are a pretty awesome and awesome-acting couple. I mean, he's jacked up on steroids and she's taken a record amount of drugs after being married to The Black Crow's lead singer for so many years - There's a lot to love. This includes each other's bodies, as two have been having insane sex, and telling everyone.

Apparently, New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez is a homerun in the bedroom. That's what girlfriend Kate Hudson has been telling close pals, according to the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now).

"They love sex!" a pal tells Us Weekly of the pair who began dating in May. "They talk about it all day. Kate gets graphic talking about his body, even to her parents."

Still, Hudson, 30, is aware of Rodriguez's playboy rep: During his five-year marriage to wife Cynthia, he stepped out with stripper Joslyn Noel Morse; another fling recalls portraits of the slugger as a centaur hanging over his bed.

She won't have to worry about him straying, pals tells Us: "She's with him every second," says a source.

"Did I say 'With him every second?' I meant, "In him every second," the source continued. "At the grocery store, in the park, on the baseball field during game time. Hey, that's love for you."

Proving that you can only have so many children with ridiculous names without consequences, word is Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay front-man Chris Martin are taking a break from their marriage. Page Six reports:

On Wednesday night, [Alex] Rodriguez was front and center at Madonna's concert at Dolphin Stadium ... Later, the kabbalah cronies celebrated at the estate of Jeff Soffer, the bachelor billionaire who reportedly has come between Gwyneth Paltrow and rocker hubby Chris Martin.

Feeding speculation that Paltrow and Martin are ready to split, Paltrow has been staying at Soffer's Indian Creek Island mansion and spent Thanksgiving with him, sources said.

Martin's band, Coldplay, wrapped its U.S. tour Wednesday night and friends expected Paltrow, who'd been at their London home with their children earlier this week, would remain there to welcome Martin back after weeks on the road.

Instead, sources said, she returned to Miami, where she and Soffer sparked gossip two weeks ago when she showed up at at the opening of his Fontainebleau Hotel.

"Gwyneth has confided to friends she and Chris are taking a break," a source claimed. "Jeff is crazy about her."

I think it's pretty obvious what's happening here. Madonna got divorced, so being the narcissistic bitch that she is, decided it would be more fun if her gal-pal Gwyneth was single too. She's probably been doing everything she can to split them up, like throwing dinner parties with A-rod and telling Gwyneth she's not invited because she's still married to that British guy.

Anyway, here's Paltrow looking adulterous at the aforementioned grand opening of The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami.

Alex Rodriguez is celebrating Thanksgiving this year by ditching out on his ex-wife and more importantly his own children by having dinner with Madonna and her kids. Page Six reports:

Cynthia, who's in the final stages of her divorce from A-Rod, wrote an e-mail to a confidant noting: "My 6-foot-3, 220-pound soul-less, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna . . . She called and he ran on her command back to New York City . . . Gross!"

Instead of ushering in the holidays in Miami with his children, Natasha, 4, and Ella, 1 - A-Rod, 33, is hosting a dinner at his Manhattan apartment for Madonna, 50, and her kids, Lourdes, Rocco and David, and manager Guy Oseary.

The friend of Cynthia said A-Rod's furious ex described Madonna in "not so nice terms" in the e-mail.

To add insult to injury, after Rodriguez left Miami at Madonna's beck and call, his lawyer called Cynthia and wanted her to sign the couple's divorce settlement.

A-rod is such an idiot it's actually kind of enjoyable to watch unfold. Yes, he had what seemed like an iron-clad prenuptial agreement, but anything can happen during divorce proceedings, especially with the confirmation that he cheated on her. So considering he's in the middle of a high profile divorce, you'd think making headlines about ditching your children for some old hag may not be the smartest move.

After trolling around with Madonna for the past few weeks since her divorce from Guy Richie became public, Alex Rodriguez may have finally realized that he's a famous, wealthy athlete and can do a hell of a lot better than banging some past-her-prime hag in her 50's.

Sources say that A-rod and Kate Hudson were spotted getting very cozy at the Fontainebleau Hotel grand opening in Miami Beach last weekend. The New York Daily News reports:

“Hudson had her arms completely wrapped around A-Rod’s waist and every time he leaned over to talk to anyone she would pull him back toward her,” our South Beach spy snitched. “They were laughing and giggling all night.” Latin beauty Sofia Vergara tried to thwart Hudson’s flirtations, leaning over the table, her ample assets in A-Rod’s face, as she gushed about how much she loved the ball player. But Hudson was quick to whisper something in his ear that brought his attention right back to her.

I'm no fan of A-rod, but I'm glad he's finally seen the light. I also love how Kate Hudson looks like a much younger, blonder, more attractive version of Madonna, which must be driving her absolutely crazy right about now. I wonder if the Kabbalah religion says anything specific about being a controlling psychopath?

Anyway, here are some pictures of Ms. Hudson at the event.

So now that Madonna's divorce from Guy Richie is official (word is Richie will walk away with around $60 million as a reward for putting up with her crazy ass for 8 years and basically allowing her to ruin his directing career), the gritty details of Madonna's affair with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez are spilling out. Apparently all of those rumors last year were true, according to FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman...

"Alex Rodriguez had sublet a 'secret love shack' in the Time Warner Center. I confirmed that Madonna was a frequent guest to the building, which was a very different address from the apartment A-Rod shared with his now ex-wife."

Hang on a second...

All right, I'm back, just had to run to the bathroom and vomit several times. As far as celebrity affairs go, this one is the equivalent of walking in on your parents having sex; you don't want to see it, you don't want to think about it, and it really never should have happened.
