Alex Rodriguez Won't Donate For Raising Malawi


Alex Rodriguez apparently isn't looking to distance himself from Madonna in the wake of those "affair of the heart" rumblings (denied all around). The New York Daily News reports that the New York Yankees star plans to pony up a major contribution to the Big M's Raising Malawi charity, which aims to help orphans from the impoverished African nation where she adopted David, her 2-year-old son.

"They've asked him for a million dollars, and I hear he's agreed to give at least $500,000," asserts an insider. A-Rod's reps have yet to comment, while the director of Raising Malawi explains to the paper, "Obviously when you're talking about donors, these are private things. I would never reveal information about any donor." If the donation pans out, it'll make a nice birthday present for Madonna, who hits the half-century mark this coming week end.
