Rumors about Madonna and Guy Ritchie getting a divorce have been swirling for a while - but yesterday, they may have reached hurricane force!

Hooking up with A-Rod?
First off, a well-placed source confirms to X17 that the Material Girl has been hooking up with New York Yankees shortstop Alex Rodriguez, saying that the couple's relationship has been "a well known fact spread around in baseball" for several months.

The source alleges that Madonna and Rodriguez typically see each other in transit, taking private limos and jets to meet up.

Splitting Up Assets With Guy?

Meanwhile, reports have been surfacing that MGR, the celebrity accounting firm which handles Madonna and Guy's finances, has been sorting through the couple's assets in preparation for divorce.

"MGR have been warned they will have a busy time over the next few months as they go carefully through the books," a source told the Daily Mirror. "With the huge payout being bandied about, the lawyers will want to go through the assets with a fine-tooth comb."

Ritchie arrived in New York yesterday afternoon for a quick summit with the pop star. Our photographers managed to snap a few pix of Guy leaving Madge's apartment looking frustrated - what do think they talked about?

Burnin' Up
And finally, just to make Madonna's week a little more miserable, it's being reported that a fire which gutted her childhood home is being treated as a possible arson case!

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office told the Detroit Free Press that the fire is being treated as "suspicious" and confirmed that arson investigators are on the case.

Losing a home and (possibly) breaking up a family in the same week? Poor Madge - keep your head up, girl!
