And it just keeps getting freakier in the swirl surrounding Madge's marriage – could Alex Rodriguez's wife Cynthia be taking her revenge on A-Rod with Lenny Kravitz, who just happens to be ... Madonna's ex, after splitting with A-Rod for good?
So says the New York Post, which reports that Cyn and Lenny have been "spending cozy time" in Paris for the last few days. This, after A-Rod and Madonna have been linked, with A-Rod supposedly paying late-night visits to the Madge pad.
What's the Lenny link? It's a Guy thing, as in Guy Oseary, who just happens to manage Madonna, A-Rod, and Kravitz.

Spencer Pratt actually has regrets –- he says he's sorry for calling Mary-Kate Olsen a "troll" –- but it's because MK brought up a very sore subject ... soccer.
Who knew? Us reports that Pratt says the celebutwin brought up an "emotional subject" when she told a story on Letterman about his throwing a hissy fit on the soccer field during high school. In fact, Pratt reveals that he's "secretly jealous" of MK because he wants his face "on a lunchbox" just like her.
The pair have been feuding ever since he supposedly sold shots of a tipsy-looking MK to a tabloid.

The supposedly divorce-nearing couple went to 'Cesca, an Italian joint near Madge's Upper West Side pad. They looked "like a normal couple that just wanted to have a nice dinner out," reports People. "They looked very unassuming. Not that they were looking for attention." Right.
The couple stayed for an hour and left -– hand-in-hand.

Meanwhile, other sources say that Raffa, who's in Federal custody, doesn't have even close to enough to shell out his $21 million bail.

Brooke tells Life & Style in its new issue, for instance, that she doesn't "agree with what's going on in her life" – i.e., dating a guy younger than she is -- even though she says she craves "a bond" with Linda. As for the Hulk-Linda divorce, the Hulkster admits that it's going to get "messy."
Maybe because he's telling magazines that Linda has "an addictive personality, and it dragged me down."
Madonna Letting A-Rod in the Batter's Box?
This'll stop now that Guy's in New York, but could Alex Rodriguez be doing some late-night pinch-hitting at Madonna's uptown pad?
Us Weekly reports that the Yankee has made "numerous solo nighttime visits" to Madge's apartment and has snuck out "as late as midnight." Further evidence of intrigue: A-Rod went to Madonna's April 30 concert and Madonna went to a Yankee game on June 22, the first time she'd ever been spotted at the stadium.
Madonna's reps didn't comment on the report.

Will Smith – No Scientoloschool Here!
The fancy new school in a fancy L.A. suburb founded by Will Smith is still getting heat for possibly teaching as much L. Ron Hubbard as F. Scott Fitzgerald.
But Will is hancocking all the speculation, in the

But critics say that "study technology" is a Scientolomethod that New Village will use – but isn't recognized as useful by anyone.

Not that he didn't have enough heat on him anyway, but at least one friend of Anne Hathaway's jailed ex thinks she's the one who narc-ed him out.
"It makes sense," says the pal to the

Her reps have officially refused to comment on Follieri's troubles.

Pals of Guy tell the UK's Mirror that Guy's trying to avoid a "final break" and doesn't want to drag the battle into court ... even though he could get up to $100 mil of the Material Girl's fortune. "It's not his style to start profiteering from such sorry circumstances," says a friend.
Of course, he has taken "informal legal advice" from Forsters, a top London divorce firm.
Hulk and Linda – Ruined by Reality?
Even though we heard all about Hulk Hogan and son Nick's plans for a "real-ality" show about Nick, Hulk now says that it's the Hogan reality show that nixed his marriage in the first place.
He tells
People that "Hogan Knows Best" might've been the culprit: "I just think the reality show amplified the problems that were already there." Linda filed for divorce in November, and as TMZ has chronicled, the battle has been messy.
Hulk also says that his relationship with daughter Brooke was "strained" after he started dating her pals.

The escapades didn't stop there. The sexually curious Playboy Czar apparently had an opportunity for a one night gay tryst and figured, why not. While he found the night "interesting", it wasn't good enough for Hef to double dip.
The head of the Playboy Empire says he gave the author unprecedented access and that "this is the most authoritative book ever written about me . . . It's all essentially true."
