The New York tabs were all a-twitter this week over a purported relationship between A-Rod and Madonna.
"DID A-ROD GET TO FIRST BASE?" The Daily News breathlessly asked on its front page. Both rags - uh, tabs - cited US magazine (now there's a reliable source), which said "all the doormen are talking" about Rodriguez's late-night visits to the Material Girl's New York apartment.
Then came word that Mrs. A-Rod might have taken up with a rock star of her own - Lenny Kravitz.
Whew!
All this is Causing a Commotion, but do you really think A-Rod is a Lucky Star as far as Madonna is concerned? She's almost old enough to be his mother, so the story sounds kinda Borderline.
Still, don't expect the panting Big Apple press to take a Holiday from this one.
Ruffled feathers
You've probably heard that the Baltimore Ravens have hired a wildlife expert from Georgia to train two actual ravens to fly out of a smoky tunnel at M&T Bank Stadium ahead of the players at home games this season.
(Heck, if they need practice flying in smoke, just bring 'em up here.)
The trainer is even trying to get the birds say a few phrases, but the Buzz hears he can only get them to say word:
Nevermore.
Make room on the mantle
Two-time British Open champ Greg Norman and Chris Evert tied the knot over the weekend. Given Evert's 18 major tennis titles, the Buzz would say she's truly a trophy wife.
Cookie monsters
Eli and Peyton Manning are teaming to take on a retired firefighter and his son in something called the Oreo Double Stuf Racing League "Lick Race" in New Orleans next week, according to the huggingharoldreynolds Web site.
Nabisco describes the event as "a fierce competition to see who's fastest to twist, lick and dunk their Oreo cookie!"
There's $10 grand at stake, but the Buzz figures that's just the icing.
Oops!
Talk about unintended consequences...
The L.A. Times reports that OneNewsNow.com, a Mississippi-based Web site committed to delivering "news from a Christian perspective," has a strict language policy and uses a filter to replace certain words deemed offensive.
So this is how it ran the AP report on Tyson Gay's 9.68-second world record in the 100-meter dash:
"Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.... Homosexual qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he's certainly someone to watch in Beijing."
"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me."
The site's news director says the filter has been removed for "that word." Now when it comes to Gay news, visitors to the site will get the straight dope.
Tough course
Two golfers and a caddie were robbed of cash by an armed assailant at a Milwaukee country club last weekend, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. Undeterred, they then completed their rounds.
So what are we to make of this - that armed robbery is par for the course?
