Hard Newswoman Katie Couric Won't Jump At Meaty A-Rod Exclusive Like Some Dish-Hungry Scoop-Ho
Posted by Seth at 5:10 AM on July 16, 2008
At two weeks into your garden variety tabloid scandal, the regular spiel starts to get a little old—yes, yes, we know, that brainwashed third-baseman has been giving the aging pop diva the hot beef injection—and so new angles are required. For example, we have Page Six's item today which claims Madonna has been "loving" the attention, and plans on hitting today's All-Star game at Yankee Stadium. "'She doesn't care about the press it will get - she loves it,' said a spy. 'It just gets her more publicity for her upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour.'" How this spy managed to crack the complex Madonna Motivation code we'll never know—but crack it they did!
Meanwhile, paparazzi parked outside CBS's New York headquarters captured quite the moment: Katie Couric leaving work, being told that A-Rod was dining across the street. Pan to A-Rod, who gestures for her to come over. Ick! A tawdry scoop! She'll pass. There's 40 pages of Eye On America paperwork that needs to be filled out before she can even begin to ask him about the connection between red string bracelets and batting averages.

If he were a true Yankee, like the Mick, there'd be fewer ifs and ands, and more butts

This has got to be the most boring "scandal" of all ever and ever.

Madonna loves attention?! Get out! Next you'll be telling us water is wet, the sky blue, and the earth spins.

A-Rod sure likes the broads with the man-arms.

Madonna's body is barely cold and A-Rod is moving on to K-Rod?

I've never had too too much against old Madge, but contemplating her and the words "Sticky and Sweet" in the same mental image demands a Pepto Bismol I.V.

Is it in his contract that he spends 80% of his time drinking beer and cheating on his wife?

A-Rod is going to baseball's Hall of Fame, has more money and fame than anyone could ever want...and still tries harder to be a "guy" than anyone I have ever seen. I have adopted abandoned puppies that were less needy for attention and respect.
