SWIZZ BEATZ SLAMS ALICIA KEYS AFFAIR RUMOURS.

Rapper SWIZZ BEATZ has laughed off rumours he cheated on his wife with superstar singer ALICIA KEYS. The Grammy winner split from Mashonda, his wife of four years, in April (08). But he insists rumours Keys was involved in the separation, are false. Beatz - real name Kasseem Mike Dean - says "I can no longer ignore the harmful rumours, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that Mashonda and I have made to separate.

"I am disappointed that some have chosen to try and tarnish Alicia's reputation by irresponsibly implicating her in a situation that she has absolutely nothing to do with. "This experience has been one of the most difficult times in my life, and as was stated when we announced our separation several months ago, I ask that you continue to respect my privacy in dealing with this personal matter."

Can someone tell me why he's just talking now? Poor Mashonda. We spotted her lovely self at Fashion week last week....alone obviously.

BASEBALL LUST: MADONNA 'TRIED TO SEDUCE CANSECO'!!!

MADONNA begged retired baseball star JOSE CANSECO to marry her and get her pregnant during a fling 17 years ago, according to the sports star. Just days after the pop superstar was forced to deny an affair with current New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez, former team star Canseco claims Madonna attempted to seduce him back in 1991 - when he was married. He alleges the pair enjoyed a three-to-four month affair, but were never intimate. Canseco tells Us Weekly magazine, "She had a Cuban child (Lourdes) and wanted another one.

She wanted to get married and have a child with me." He claims Madonna pounced on him at her Hollywood Hills home, telling the magazine, "She said, `What would you do if I kissed you?' and then sat on my lap and kissed me." Canseco claims Madonna even offered to support him if he left his wife, adding, "She said, `I have lots of money. Don't worry about that.'" Madonna has been dragged into Rodriguez's divorce battle with his wife Cynthia over claims she introduced the baseball star to her chosen religion, Kabbalah, and became his "soulmate". Cynthia Rodriguez's lawyer alleges Madonna and the Yankees star had "an affair of the heart".

Geez! Madonna?

DIDDY DENIES AFFAIR WITH PETER COOK'S MISTRESS!!

Why is Diddy in everything? Now this dirty TV divorce of Christie Brinkley and her husband and the teen mistress is featuring Diddy too? SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS has slammed allegations he had an affair with the mistress of CHRISTIE BRINKLEY's estranged husband PETER COOK. Former model Brinkley has been struggling to come to terms with details of Cook's extramarital affair with teenager Diana Bianchi as they proceed in their ongoing divorce trial, which began on Wednesday (02Jul08). And, according to the National Enquirer, Cook was not the only high-profile man to romance Bianchi. A source tells the publication, "Diana met Sean (Diddy) at his recording studio when she went there with a friend who knew him.

"She told me that he just came up to her and started talking. She said their affair started a few weeks later and it went on while he was involved with the woman he was going to marry, Kim Porter. Diana said she thinks that she's the reason they split up." Bianchi allegedly ended her relationship with Combs because "she was freaked out" when the rap mogul "sent people to her voice rehearsals and lessons to watch her" according to the Enquirer's reports. But a spokesperson for Combs has denied the affair. Bianchi appeared in court on Wednesday (02Jul08), revealing she and Cook had sex less than 10 times, and she had been asked to lie to cover up the affair. Brinkley and Cook are fighting over custody of their children Jack, 13, and Sailor, 10.
