“We hear that superagent Adam Modlin of NYC’s The Modlin Group suggested A-Rod might hit it off with fellow client Hudson – and Rodriguez jumped at the chance.
Continues the source, “Adam has known Kate for a while, as well. He’s been showing her townhouses in the West Village for about a year now. He thought Alex and Kate would like one another, and sure enough, when they connected, it was a home run.
According to a second source, A-Rod and Kate first met “in Miami at the Fountainebleau hotel opening in November ’08 – Adam introduced them. The first five to 10 minutes of their conversation was about Adam. At the time, A-Rod was all about Madonna.”
But when the Material Mom ventured off into greener pastures – aka Brazilian model Jesus Luz – A-Rod reconnected with Kate, and their love match is now sizzling. Eyewitnesses were shocked at the couple’s chemistry after a recent PDA-heavy display at 40/40 club (where A-Rod is a part owner).
“Alex was holding Kate’s hand the whole time and stealing kisses whenever he could,” says a snitch. “He is so into her and doesn’t even mind when his friends tease him about her.”
It must be nice to have friends like that. If they could only teach him about being clutch.
That didn’t take long. Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett announced that they have a bun in the oven.
“The Girls Next Door E! reality star told E! News‘s Marc Malkin, “Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together. We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans.”
“My first initial is K and my middle name is Leigh, so we were thinking of Kaleigh,” she said. “And he’s Hank Baskett III, so of course I’m going to have a Hank Baskett IV!”
Now E! definitely has to renew the series for another season. Who doesn’t want to watch Kendra take care of a baby. More importantly, I wonder what happens to the stripper pole now? Maybe she can give it to Brittany Binger!

The SCP crew is going to be live blogging the Yanks vs. Red Sox game tonight. The Yanks arrive in Boston 1 game ahead of the Sox in the AL East. Boston has won all 5 matchups this season, so we’ll see what happens with Burnett and Beckett starting.
In preparation for the NBA Finals coverage on NBA.com, veteran NBA journalist and television analyst/reporter David Aldridge conducted an NBA Blogger Q&A session where he addressed the upcoming NBA Finals, key match-ups between the Lakers and Magic, pending NBA Draft and off-season, as well as colleagues at TNT and NBA.com. David has served as the TNT and NBA.com Insider for the network’s NBA coverage since 2004, appearing both in the studio as well as on the sidelines. Prior to his time at TNT, he spent eight years at ESPN reporting on the NBA and writing for ESPN.com. He has also written for the Washington Post and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Q: Media wise: Do you have a problem with Jeff Van Gundy covering Stan Van Gundy? What about Magic Johnson covering the Lakers?
Jacoby Ellsbury left yesterdays game in the 6th inning with a strained shoulder. And instead of Terry Francona choosing what positions Rocco Baldelli and Mark Kotsay should play, he let them settle it the only way arguments should be settled. ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!!
I want the FED to decide rates this way. That would be so much fun!
