Usmagazine.com looks back at the week in celebrity news:

- New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was exchanging text messages with Madonna six months ago, Us Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands now. "He [said] he was in love with her," his friend recalls to Us. By February, A-Rod had upped the ante. "He said, 'She's my f--king soulmate, dude,'" the friend tells Us. Meanwhile, six days after Us Weekly broke the news that A-Rod was making late night visits to Madonna's apartment, his wife Cynthia filed for divorce. While Madonna has denied a relationship with A-Rod, Us Weekly reports otherwise. Check out the new issue for the full story on how the Material Girl lured A-Rod away from his newborn, why a friend says he's "totally brainwashed" by kabbalah, how Madonna is thriving on the attention and why her friends think A-Rod is "totally her type." (See photos of Madonna and her past loves.)

- Former Oakland A and onetime Yankee Jose Canseco revealed that Madonna begged him to impregnate her. In the new issue of Us Weekly, Canseco details how the singer tried to romance him in 1991 even though, like baseball nemesis A-Rod, he was married at the time. "She wanted to get married and have a child with me " she wanted a Cuban child," he tells Us. Conseco recalls: "We went downstairs [at her house in the Hollywood Hills] and she came over and said, "What would you do if I kissed you?' and then she sat on my lap and kissed me." Check out Us' interview with Conseco. (See photos of Madonna's most scandalous moments.)

- Bachelor Andrew Firestone wed Ivana Bozilovic. The pair tied at the knot St. Mark's in the Valley Episcopal Church in Los Olivos, California last Saturday. "Standing at the front of the church and watching Ivana walk down the aisle, I just kept thinking I must be the luckiest man alive to spend the rest of my life with this woman," Firestone told Usmagazine.com. The new issue of Us Weekly has their exclusive wedding album and an interview with the newlyweds filled with all the details of their big day, including who made her dress, where he got his wedding band from, the couple's first dance song and what brought the couple to tears. (See photos of more celeb weddings.)

- Christie Brinkley was granted sole custody of her children in her divorce settlement with ex husband Peter Cook. Brinkley, who will keep all 18 properties in the Hamptons that were being disputed, agreed to pay him $2.1 million.

- Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves welcomed their newborn son Levi. See Us' Bump Hall of Fame.

- Nicole Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose on Monday. "We feel blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today," husband Keith Urban wrote on his web site.

- Drew Barrymore and beau Justin Long split. "They are still friends," a source close to the actress told Us. Check out Drew's past flings.

    Madonna is a F*^$@# DIRT BAG and so is A-Rod!!!!! These are two selfish ass people that only thought about themselves and not their children nor their spouses. Even if they decided to be together, they could have at least called it quits with their respective companions and then do what they wish. I just think that they are sooooooooooo wrong!!!!! Karma is a BIATCH tho!

    Clearly, Madonna loves, wants, needs and absolutely has to have attention (uhh, how f___ed is your life?!?) and especially NOW that she is looking at FIFTY, weeeeeellll, what's next? This is the best publicity yet for her!!! Give her credit for playing the media like a fiddle... OK, I'm an idiot and responding to our f___ed up media pop warp... GUILTY!

    I truly hope MaDonna and Guy are telling the truth with this one. I don't know if A-Rod's marriage can be saved but I really hope MaDonna and Guy are not on the rocks. They have not talked publicly but their publicists have said that this is not true and they have been seen together going to church. A-Rod needs to be with that baby and his wife and not worry about anything else.

    I seriously hope the affair is not true for the sake of her kids as well as his not to mention the break-up of two marriages...I don't think Madonna is "washed up" by any means. She definately has more to give to her fans.
