Kate Hudson Set to Marry A-Rod

Kate Hudson is set to marry Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez.

The ‘Fool’s Gold’ actress is delighted with the way her romance with the baseball star, who she has been dating since May, is progressing and friends are expecting the couple to announce their engagement in the near future.

A source said, “Kate is head over heels for Alex and he feels the same way. As long as things continue to be so great, they will get married. They are practically there already with the shared homes, the children and balancing work.”

Kate and Alex have just moved in together in New York and are taking steps to help their children bond.

Kate has a five-year-old son Ryder with her ex-husband, Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, while Alex is father to Natasha, four, and 16-month-old Ella, his kids with former spouse Cynthia.

The source added to the FOX 411 blog, “Kate will spend every free minute with him and she happily brings her son along with her to games and on trips to be with Alex.

“They are sharing one of her Los Angeles homes and his New York bachelor pad, but recently they have moved into a second home in Purchase, New York. Alex has to be close to New York for work and his daughters.

“Kate wanted Ryder to meet Alex’s daughters, and now the three kids play together. They make an adorable family. He makes plenty of time for family meals, and especially dates with Kate.”

Madam Kristen Davis names A-Rod as client, lover

Duncan Riley — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:52:21 +0000

Former Madam Kristen Davis, best known for organizing hookers for former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer has been named as both a supplier and former lover of disgraced New York Yankee’s player Alex Rodreiguez.

According to the NY Daily News, the relationship started with the supply of hookers, then turned into something more personal. Davis is said to have found A-Rod “so charming she “dated him herself for free.” A-Rod apparently wanted more, and showered Davis “with flowers, jewelry, persistence and heated e-mails.”

The newspaper confirmed the story with Davis, who said that “all I can say is our paths have definitely crossed personally and professionally.”

Notably, A-Rod was married at the time. You can now add hookers to A-Rod’s list of vices next to steroids.

A-Rod admits to using supplements at press conference

Duncan Riley — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:36:41 +0000

Things keep going from bad to worse for New York Yankee’s drug cheat Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez.

A-Rod fronted the media at a press conference earlier today and admitted to having used Ripped Fuel, a nutritional supplement later banned by MLB.

Ripped Fuel contained the herb ephedra, which as well as allegedly being a performance enhancing substance, wasn’t without serious risk, being blamed for heart failure to kidney and liver disease. Ephedra was thought to be a cause of the death of major league pitcher Steve Bechler during the 2003 spring training season.

A-Rod also spoke more on his steroid abuse, claiming among other things:

“I didn’t think they were steroids. That, again, is part of being young and stupid. It was over the counter, it was pretty basic. It was really amateur hour. It was two guys doing a very amateur and immature thing. We probably didn’t even take it right.”

That his cousin injected him

Rodriguez said he was injected with the steroid by his cousin twice a month, though later he said it wasn’t always twice month, but that was the average of usage over the three-year period.

“I’m not sure what the benefit was [of taking it],” Rodriguez said. He said using was “half physical and half mental.” But Rodriguez, while saying he did feel more energy, wouldn’t actually measure the full benefit of the steroid. He said, “it was hard to say.”

A-Rod also denied ever using human growth hormone or amphetamines….so that makes things better

Although he’s a disgrace to sport, I’ll credit him on one thing: he has at least come forward to discuss the issue, and maybe, just maybe his downfall might be a lesson to kiddies and others tempted to take steroids as well.

Alex Rodriguez admits taking steroids

Duncan Riley — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:28:39 +0000

Alex Rodriguez has admitted that he used steroids, telling ESPN that he used the performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03 while at Texas.

“When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I felt like I had all the weight of the world on top of me and I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day” said Rodriguez.

“And I did take a banned substance and, you know, for that I’m very sorry and deeply regretful. And although it was the culture back then and Major League Baseball overall was very — I just feel that — you know, I’m just sorry. I’m sorry for that time. I’m sorry to fans. I’m sorry for my fans in Texas. It wasn’t until then that I ever thought about substance of any kind, and since then I’ve proved to myself and to everyone that I don’t need any of that.”

“Back then it was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid,” Rodriguez said. “I was naive, and I wanted to prove to everyone that, you know, I was worth, you know — and being one of the greatest players of all time.”

Rodriguez will be remembered…as one of the biggest drug cheats of all time.

The confession follows Rodriguez being named by Sports Illustrated as a drug cheat February 7.

Alex Rodriguez exposed as a drug cheat

Duncan Riley — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:14:26 +0000

New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez tested positive to steroids in 2003, according to a report from Sports Illustrated.

Rodriguez, perhaps the most successful player in the history of baseball, holding a range of records including most home runs, refused to answer questions about the allegation.

SI claims that Rodriguez is on a list of positive results obtained in 2003 under an agreement that no results or player names would be released as part of an assessment into how widespread steroids were in the sport.

If at least 5% of the tests were positive, however, baseball would institute random testing, with players testing positive publicly identified and suspended. Of 1,198 players tested, 104 came back positive.

The list of names is subject to a court battle, after the US government seized the test results as part of the BALCO investigation.

Donna Karan Is After A-Rod

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:37:51 +0000

It looks like while Madonna’s ficando with Jesus Luz, designer Donna Karan is moving in on her “friend” Alex Rodriguez. Page Six has reported that A-Rod partied the New Year away with a celeb-studded crowd including Ashton Kutcher, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Donna Karan at the exclusive Parrot Cay island… and had an opportunity to hook up with Karan if he so pleased.

An insider told the paper that A-Rod stayed “very close to [Karan] who only had eyes for him and followed him around all night on New Year’s Eve,” BUT he still happens to be enamored with Madge. It seems odd, since Madonna’s an Ice Queen Extraordinaire; there must be some unspoken perks like really eating better and going through punishing daily workouts. As for the sex, erm. . . you probably remember the rules. Perhaps A-Rod needs to conserve his strength to stay a star slugger, anyway.

JR — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:20:59 +0000

A sports memorabilia collector is hoping you want to pay good money for some underwear worn by the one and only A-Rod, aka Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. I wish I could say I were making this up.

The SportsWorld collector’s shop in New England somehow got the official New York Yankees Spandex A-Rod wore during the 2008 season and has put the garment up for sale on eBay. A-Rod’s underwear is marked with his uniform number and — thankfully — have been washed. (Yes, the eBay description makes a point to mention that.)

And, in case any of the ladies (or gentleman) out there were wondering, the size is XL.

The auction ends at 1:38 p.m. PST Thursday. As of time of this publication, the highest bid is at $420. It started at $9.99.

If you end up being the winning bidder, we’d love to hear from you — specifically, WHY THE HELL YOU JUST SPENT $400+ DOLLARS ON SOME DUDE’S UNDERWEAR. Please explain in the comments section below. Thank you.

UPDATE: Sold! For $420 to eBay buyer “r***e.” Um, congratulations?
