Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez made separate exits from the gym this morning, so as not to be seen together. But inside the gym, it was a whole different story.

A spy inside tells us Kate & A-Rod had no trouble showing off their affections, with Kate giving A-Rod a smooch in front of the 200+ people working out on Turkey Day.
PDA in private, like strangers in public.

Reggie Jackson led the New York Yankees to two World Series wins and currently serves as the team's "special adviser" -- yet for some reason, he was hitting up a former Phillies player for tickets to last night's game!

We found Mr. October in front of his NY hotel where he tried begging onetime Philadelphia second baseman/current ESPN analyst Joe Morgan for a few extra tix.
We're guessin' Reggie got what Reggie needed.

Usually it's considered common courtesy to give up your seat to a woman -- but Rudy Giuliani was reportedly none too pleased when he had to vacate his prized spot at Yankee Stadium ... to the First Lady.

The former mayor of New York City always sits near the Yankee dugout, but according to Page Six he was relegated to sit behind the photographers' box for Game 1 of the World Series because Michelle Obama was given the seats instead.
The paper says it was the White House that didn't want Giuliani near Obama, but get this: Michelle didn't even sit in the seats because of the weather and they remained unoccupied for the whole game.
Giuliani got his seat back for Game 2, which the Yankees won.

The Phillies dominated the Yankees last night -- and according to this PA congressman, not even the combined powers of Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kate Hudson and all the celebrity Yankees fans in the universe can help them pull ahead.

We got Robert Brady (D-PA) -- the same guy who issued The Mohawk Challenge -- today in DC, where he said having hardcore athletic support from celebs is great and all, but "How many home runs did Kate Hudson hit?"
The man has a point...

With tonight's game just hours away, Congressman Robert Brady (D - PA) is looking to make a last minute bet in tonight's Yankees vs. Phillies showdown ... and he's willing to risk most of the hair on his head.

We got the Phillies phan on Capitol Hill today -- where he said he couldn't find a single NY fan with enough "guts" to meet his high-risk wager. The stakes: The loser would have to get a mohawk!
Any takers?

Having a wildly impressive postseason really has its perks -- and yesterday in New York, it got Alex Rodriguez out of a traffic violation.

A-Rod's driver was this close to getting a ticket for blocking traffic in front of Serafina, but once the cop was told whose car it was -- and saw the group of teenagers standing by to get their hero's autograph -- the ticket book quietly disappeared.
Tonight, we'll see if A-Rod can make the Angels vanish just as easily.

There's no crying in baseball -- and according to Jerry Seinfeld, there shouldn't be any designated hitters either.

The notorious Mets fan was at Chateau Marmont last night, where he couldn't resist taking a shot at the Yankees ... and every other pitcher who never picks up a bat.

Alex Rodriguez just apologized to his teammates for the nasty performance-enhancing drugs scandal he's now embroiled in -- but dude's quivering lip was distracting.

Alex "The Fraud" Rodriguez just 'fessed up to taking performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers during a three-year period beginning in 2001.

Cheater Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons, "When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day."
Liar Rodriguez continued, "Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young, I was stupid, I was naïve. I wanted to prove to everyone I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time."
Ruiner of Sports Rodriguez also said, "I did take a banned substance. For that, I'm very sorry and deeply regretful."
Blah, blah, blah cheater.

The Yankees didn't even make it to the post season, but that didn't stop one of their star pitchers from losing anyway.
Joba Chamberlain was arrested for DUI at around 1 AM on Saturday morning after being pulled over for speeding near his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska. The Yank's pitcher allegedly had an open container of booze in the car.
Joba was booked for DUI, speeding and having an open container in his car -- he will be formally charged on Monday.
Chamberlain has since apologized for his "error in judgment."

Dodgers legend Steve Garvey cleverly dodged A-Rod's off the field troubles -- we think.

In sports, yelling "you suck" just doesn't cut it anymore.

Now that Alex Rodriguez and Madonna are forever linked, the highest paid man in baseball is now the easiest fodder -- and Toronto Blue Jays fans took full advantage on Friday by hoisting photos of Madge before he went up to the plate.
The Blue Jays skunked the Yanks 5-0.

Cynthia Rodriguez has officially filed for divorce from Alex Rodriguez.

In the documents, filed today in Miami, Cynthia says she's exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage. Alex has "emotionally abandoned" his wife, leaving her with no choice but to divorce him.
She says the marriage is "irretrievably broken" because of Alex's "extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct." Note she said affairs -- plural.
She's seeking primary custody of the couple's two girls, Ella and Natasha, as well as child support to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children." That includes life and health insurance and private school.
Cynthia says her man, a "prominent athlete" with "substantial earning power," has the "fiscal capacity to continue his high style of living" but she does not -- hence she's asking for alimony. She is asking to keep their $12 million, six-bedroom estate in Coral Gables, Fla. (and everything in it), as well as her sweet ride -- a Maybach.
She's also asking A-Rod to pay off their debt, as well as her attorney's fees.
The papers mention that a prenup was signed before the couple married in November 2002. Earle Lilly, one of Cynthia's lawyers, told TMZ last night it's too early to know if they will challenge the prenup. A lot is on the line, because A-Rod is reportedly set to rake in $445 mil over the course of his career.
As we first reported, Madonna's name will not be in the divorce papers, but Cynthia's attorney, Earle Lilly, says A-Rod's relationship with her was "the last straw."

Leave it to the boys from Beantown to try and stick it to Alex Rodriguez.
A couple of TMZ spies from Boston showed up to tonight's Red Sox/Yankees game with their sights set on mocking the slugger's marital woes. They'd made up a few heads-on-sticks to taunt him with. One version had Madonna -- whose special relationship with A-Rod was what finally pushed his wife Cynthia to file for divorce. The other was Lenny Kravitz, who is close friends with A-Rod's wife.
But alas, it wasn't to be -- Yankees security confiscated the masks and trashed them at the gate. It worked -- A-Rod homered and the Yanks won 5-4.

Looks like the Madonna romance rumors finally sent Alex Rodriguez's wife on the offensive.

Cynthia Rodriguez has hired Houston lawyer Earle Lilly to finally end her rocky marriage with A-Rod, according to WABC in New York. Earle said Cynthia will file suit tomorrow morning in Dade County Fla. Family Court, and that A-Rod's "relationship with Madonna was the final straw for Mrs. Rodriguez."
Madonna has denied having a fling with Mr. Anti-October.
