The rumors of Madonna's rocky marriage have taken a turn for the worse with allegations of an affair with married Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez. While all signs point to yes, (A-Rod has been swinging by her NYC apartment late at night, he went to her concert and Malawi charity event, she sat in his reserved seats at a ballgame) Madge's rep denies any flaws in the marriage, and we kind of think it's all a publicity stunt orchestrated by their shared manager. Either way, we couldn't help but wonder, if Madge and Guy Ritchie do separate, who could date the Queen of Pop?

She's dated artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, actor Sean Penn (they were married), wannabe rapper Vanilla Ice, tattooed basketball player Dennis Rodman, personal trainer Carlos Leon (Lourdes' daddy), magician David Blaine and slept with Warren Beatty, Lenny Kravitz and even John F. Kennedy Jr. That's some eclectic taste! Who do we think could satisfy Madonna? Some possibilities:

• David Beckham - He's British so she

Social music site Last FM has a feature that tracks what songs its users listen to on iTunes. Conversely, they've also compiled a list of the songs its users most often delete-aka musical guilty pleasures they'd be mortified to have someone discover in their music collection.

The top five most embarrassing singles? Britney Spears has two: "Piece of Me" and "Gimme More," while Nelly Furtado "Say it Right," Avril Lavigne "Girlfriend" and Amy Winehouse "Rehab" round out the regrettable tunes.


The most oft deleted artists are a little more shocking. Sure Britney and Avril make appearances again, while "unknown" nabs the top spot-are people so embarrassed they leave the title of the track blank in their iTunes to spare humiliation? Rounding out the group though-The Beatles and Radiohead. For shame! Perhaps such talented songwriters who've composed music that's stood the test of time is not considered cool amongst music listeners, but we're horribly disappointed to learn people have such

Um, yeah, regrettably this is true. Just when we thought Air Guitar Championships were pushing the limit, LG is hosting the 2nd annual National Texting Championship on July 9th in NYC. All we can think about are those old Cingular commercials where the grandma is texting her BFF Rose. But hey, for a $50,000 prize we might just get out our Blackberrys and start practicing now. We'd put our money on glued-to-her-gadget Lauren Conrad taking home a trophy.

Do you spend too much time text messaging? [LG]

It's not unusually for an artist or their body of work to gain significant increased recognition after they have died. We've seen it with stars going back to James Dean, Kurt Cobain, Edie Sedgwick, Tupac… the list is endless. The recent death of Heath Ledger is no different, and with the impending release of his final film, The Dark Knight, on July 18, his costars, director, and industry insiders are all suspecting Ledgers turn as the Joker in the latest Batman installment may earn him a posthumous Oscar. "Heath had this frequency none of us could hear," says costar Gary Oldman. "The Academy tends to overlook movies like this, but this acting is so good it's going to be very hard for them to avoid it."

Ticket pre-sales for the movie are through the roof and they've already added additional 3am screenings to compensate for opening night demand. Joker action figures are quadrupling in price on eBay. Similar buzz surrounded the movie The Crow when actor Brandon Lee was accidentally

Negative attention magnets supermodel Kate Moss and singer Lily Allen partied it up this weekend at the Glastonbury music festival where both Lily and Kate's bf (of band The Kills) performed. These two are trouble on their own… together, the combo could be deadly!

Do you think Brits like Kate, Lily and Amy Winehouse party harder than U.S. stars?

Who doesn't love a good summer fling? Well, perhaps those looking for a relationship with a little more staying power. Which current couples can make the heat last well into fall? We way the survival odds of a dozen pairings-they aren't all doomed!

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong - Since splitting with hubby Chris Robinson, Kate has plowed through Owen Wilson, Dax Shepard and perhaps others. Lance-who's no stranger to quickie relationships-is just a notch in her high-waisted belt.

Jen Aniston and John Mayer - After all the talk about John Mayer's um, endowment, and Jen's permanent woe-is-the-single girl status, we'd be willing to bet these two are together (at least officially in the tabloids) till New Years.

Ashley Olsen and Justin Bartha - The more responsible Olsen twin seems to have settled on this National Treasure actor for now. We'll give them at least a few more months.

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley - TV couples never seem to last off camera for more than a season or two.

Melissa Golden/Getty ImagesPam Anderson seems pretty even-tempered, but try messing with her beloved PETA and you're crossing a line you don't wanna cross. If you'll recall, Jessica Simpson recently angered the animal rights group by wearing a shirt with the slogan, "Real girls eat meat." Pam, a longtime vegetarian and PETA endorser took her own stab, calling Jessica a "b---- and a w----," inferring the tee "wasn't referring to actual cows or chicken, she was referring to, you know, men." What a mega diss coming from a Baywatch babe with a world famous sex-tape and several marriages under her belt.

Meanwhile, singer Amy Winehouse slung her own insults across the pond at the Glastonbury festival, where concertgoers were pleasantly surprised by atypical festival performer Jay-Z. Towards the end of her set, Winehouse asked, "Are there any black people in the crowd? Let's hear it for Jay-Z," she said. "The man has got bollocks to come here, and play the tunes you don't even know you remember. Imagine if it was a

One of your favorite celebs, Will Smith, and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith are opening private school New Village Academy this fall. While the school will use study technology, the instructional methods of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the couple claim the facility has no religious affiliation. "We are a secular school, and just like all nonreligious independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religions at school or pass on the beliefs of their particular faith to children," says New Village Academy director Jacqueline Olivier. Despite the fact Will and Jada are attached at the hip to Tom Cruise and Scientology-bot Katie Holmes, they insist they are not Scientologists. Several teachers on board at the school are however are members of the church. As for classes, students can expect yoga, robotics and etiquette in addition to traditional courses.
