Alex Rodriguez admits "times are a bit difficult" in a new interview with The Insider.

"I'll get through them," he said at the 2008 MLB All-Star Week party at Jay-Z's 40/40 club in NYC Monday. "The support of the New York fans has been incredible."

Asked if he has been reading the flurry of stories about his divorce or Madonna scandal, he said, "None of it. Zero, zero. Thank you."

(Look back on all of Madonna's flings.)

Though the singer, 49, was rumored to attend the MLB All-Star Week bash, she was a no-show.

Still, her presence was felt.

The DJ played a few of her tunes, including her new single "Four Minutes."

When her hit "Material Girl" blared on the speakers, A-Rod's "expression didnt change," a witness tells Usmagazine.com.

Throughout the night, A-Rod, 32, chatted up his manager Guy Oseary - who also works for Madonna - and Ingrid Casares, who introduced the singer and the slugger.

A-Rod " who spent the weekend with his daughter Natasha, 3, and estranged wife Cynthia, 34, in Toronto " didn't look "devastated at all" throughout the night, says the attendee.

He obligingly posed for a photo with a fan, but mostly stayed in the V.I.P. area, texting, watching ESPN's Sports Center, chomping on gum and drinking a Bud Light.

As he left the club with Casares around 1:30 a.m., the DJ played Madonna's "Like a Prayer."

Baseball great Reggie Jackson, who currently serves as an adviser to the Yankees, told ,b>Us that "A-Rod will be fine," despite his current relationship drama.

"He's a solid guy," Jackson said. "He's been through it all. I wish the best for him, his two girls and his wife."
