The Real Houswives of New York City: Bethenny & Alex Rodriquez

On The Real Housewives of New York City Bethenny seems to have a bit of a slight Madonna fixation. There was that big brouhaha with deranged Kelly who took extreme umbrage to Bethenny saying that it appeared that Kelly thought she was Madonna.

And then Bethenny went to a Madonna concert.

And now Bethenny has been seeing Madonna's former boytoy, Alex Rodriquez, aka A-Rod.

Bethenny and A-Rod were spotted having dinner at a Miami restaurant, with the baseball player later dropping Bethenny off at the Fountainbleau Hotel.

A source, I'm sure reliable, told something called "The News' Gatecrasher" column that "Bethenny and A-Rod hooked up 3 months ago," but that, "after quickly rounding the bases," A-Rod cut it off.

Poor Bethenny. Always so unlucky in love.

Bethenny laughed off the gossip, telling an interviewer: "We're madly in love; we're engaged. I fly to Miami every weekend. I'm in the front row when they're playing. I never felt this way."

Then she claimed she'd never ever even been in the same room with Madonna's ex-boyfriend, lamenting, "Can it be George Clooney? Can't it just be the celebrity I want to be aligned with?"

And now to add rumor to rumor, another one of those always reliable sources claims that A-Rod had been intrigued by the reports of his Bethenny Affair and proceeded to get in touch with her.

I'm sure we'll be seeing Alex and Bethenny together on the next season of The Real Housewives of New York City. Or not.
