New York.– The New York tabloids have awakened from their Alex Rodriguez/Madonna hook-up snooze and are now in full-on attack mode against the Yankees' third baseman and the singer.

The tabs are running the photos of Madonna sitting in A-Rod's seats during the June 22 game, which she attended with one of her children..

One can only hope that the gossip-mongering scoundrels at OK! magazine aren't confusing Alex Rodriguez with one of Madonna's other orange-skinned boy toys. But according to Radar, the magazine is publishing a story that suggests the Yankees third baseman is the new man in her life.

OK! has learned the pop superstar and baseball great have been hanging out for months, as her relationship with her 39-year-old director hubby [Guy Ritchie] fizzled. Last October, Madonna and Alex were spotted working out together at Reebok Sports Club/NY in Manhattan, according to an online source.

Two months later, Alex raised eyebrows by bringing in Madonna's close friend, entertainment manager Guy Oseary—who, incidentally, has no sports background—to help steer his career.

It makes perfect sense: They work out together. She gives him career advice. Madonna's marriage is on the rocks. A-Rod likes older women with bulging triceps and inner thighs that could squash pumpkins. Sounds like true love to me. True love, for baby, that is.
