...And this Madonna/A-Rod thing isn't going away anytime soon. First, there was this story about the two billionaires taking separate helicopters to a Jerry Seinfeld party, and then there's this from The Metro in the United Kingdom:

One source claims the singer, 50, has been gushing non stop about A-Rod, 33, telling: 'Madonna is smitten with Alex. She told a close friend that he has the heart of a poet trapped inside an insanely gorgeous body.'

The heart of a poet? Boy, the more A-Rod evolves, the more I'm glad that Boston didn't get him after all.
