According to recent reports, A-Rod’s wife Cynthia Rodriguez has run off with rocker Lenny Kravitz.  But the “Are You Gonna Go My Way” singer says it isn’t so.

Kravitz released a statement earlier today in which he insists, “There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself. This is unequivocally 100 percent not true.”

Instead, he says, she’s just hanging out with him as a friend.  “Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex’s trainer, his wife and their baby girl.  She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie: Everything’s Fine?

Despite all of the signs and rumors that their marriage is on its way out, Madonna and Guy Ritchie were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner out in New York City last night (July 1).

The “Ray of Light” singer and her “Snatch” director hubby held hands and appeared friendly as they arrived at Cesca Restaurant on the swanky Upper East Side of Manhattan.

And though neither of them were wearing their wedding rings, Madge’s publicist Liz Rosenberg insists that everything is on the up-and-up in their world.

“Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage, which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”

As for the claims that the Material Girl is playing away with Alex Rodriguez, she said, “Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary. They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that.”

Carmen Electra Happy to Work the Engagement Pole

Carmen Electra, Rob Patterson

If you pushed the snooze button instead of listening to Ryan Seacrest’s morning show on KIIS-FM, then you probably don’t know that marriage engagements are like stripper poles and that Carmen Electra doesn’t much care for paperwork. (Like they say, the early bird catches the, um, writhing, squirmy bit of information.)

While we had already told you that Carmen is in no rush to marry fiancé Rob Patterson, we didn’t know that her hesitation was due not to the fact that she’d been married twice before but to an aversion to filing.

Confused? Here’s how Carm tells it…

“I feel like being engaged feels nice, because it’s a commitment but there’s no paperwork. And, um, I dunno. I feel like we’re happy, so whyI dunno, there’s no reason to push it to the next level when we’re content and we’re happy the way we are.”

Ryan says he understands, kinda.

Ryan: It’s a portable stripper pole. You could really take it down from the ceiling if you had to, but you’re still committed enough so you don’t fall down.

Carmen: Exactly, exactly.

Ryan: And that’s what it’s all about.

Carmen: And that’s what it’s all about.

It is? Maybe we did hit “snooze” after all and just dreamt this whole, surreal thing.
