Why, expensive jewelry, of course! If it worked for Kobe Bryant, it can certainly work for Alex Rodriguez: The public ridicule came hours after the Yankees $252 million man made nice with his wife, Cynthia - spending $6,000 on diamond necklaces for her.See? Jewelry solves all problems. Cheat on your girlfriend? Jewelry. Get accused of rape in a Colorado hotel room? Expensive jewelry. Feel guilty about cheating on your wife with your dead nephew's Vegas call-girl? Buy both of them jewelry!"This is what I like," she told him in the Persona gift shop in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Boston.
"Go ahead, get them," the stripper-loving slugger urged her, according to a witness.
As the couple browsed, the New York newspapers, with headlines about the ballplayer's ties to a Scores dancer, were in full view.
They giggled as they looked at the front page of the Daily News, which bore a photo of them, and Cynthia cracked, "At least it's a cute picture of us."
Sometimes, the easiest solution is best, fellas. Of course, the actual easiest solution would be to not cheat in the first place, but then you don't get the fun of buying ridiculously overpriced rocks. And every man deserves that conciliatory pleasure.

Originally I felt sorry for Cindy Rodriguez for her public humiliation. Now I think she's a cheap pushover..... $6,000 diamonds?! HAH! The diamond Kobe bought his wife was valued at something like a half million $$$$$$$. Cindy, if you're gonna be bought off, at least get your husband to shop at somewhere a little swankier than a Wal-Mart.....

$6k is cheap for Arod. What is that? like 1/2 an at bat?
Anyway, I'm glad that they are staying together. The whole fact that they are joking about it is good too.
Maybe they are swingers...

i am greatly disappointed by arod with another woman so openly. i was a big fan of his and kept his pictures in my yankee file. hope he wises up and stop acting like a fool. those other women wouldn't be with him if he didn't have all that money. doesn't he know that.

I find it interesting that the Paparazzi and the rag papers have moved from the show business celebrities to sports figure to who knows next. I hope the day doesn't come when sports writers start writing about non sport events in order to get some notoriety.Can you imagine if the off field life of Babe Ruth were followed with the intensity of Arod's. I follow the sport and unless their taking steroids or other drugs I don't care about their private lives.

6,000.00 is cheaper than a divorce.She COULD clean house and he'd be the mop.

Just a general comment. It always amazes me how celebs (sports or otherwise) justify their pay because it people want to pay to see them and then get really upset when they find out it means off screen (field)to. Pay me 252Mil and you can follow me to the crapper.
