One of the fun things about the Alex Rodriguez-Kate Hudson romance is that A-Rod is getting looked at by the national gossip rags, not just the New York tabloids. I say this mostly because of an anecdote a former Rodriguez "fling" relays in Us Weekly this week, which may win some lifetime achievement awards for vanity:
"A former Rodriguez fling remembers seeing portraits of the slugger, 34, as a centaur hanging over his bed."He was so vain," his ex tells Us Weekly. "He had not one, but two painted portraits of himself as a centaur. You know, the half man, half horse figure?"
Adds the ex, "It was ridiculous."
But which part was ridiculous, unnamed ex? The centaur portrait? The centaur portrait being over the bed? One centaur portrait not being enough? Picking a centaur instead of a unicorn? I must know!
(The fantastic image above was mocked up by jasoncfry of Faith and Fear in Flushing.)
