| REPORT: MADONNA, A-ROD SNEAK OFF TO JERRY SEINFELD'S MANSION Blog |
Madonna and Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez sneaked off to Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld's 12-acre, waterfront Hamptons mansion last week, The New York Post reports.
According to The Post, a helicopter carrying Rodriguez was spotted landing in East Hampton, where he was picked up Oct. 21 in a white Porsche 911 matching the description of Jessica's car.
Less than 40 minutes later, another chopper carrying Madonna took off from NYC's Chelsea Piers and landed at the same airstrip, the paper reports.
"A dark SUV and Jerry in another Porsche both pulled up and picked up Madonna, and they headed back to Jerry's place," a witness tells The Post. "When they arrived at the Seinfeld home, Madonna poked her head out the window and could be clearly seen."
The visit lasted a few hours.
Look back at Madonna's many flings over the years.
Is it odd Madonna and Rodriguez chilled with the Seinfelds?
Not really.
"The Seinfelds have been friends with Madonna for years. They're neighbors on the West Side, so it's really no surprise," an insider tells the paper. "And Jerry and Jessica go to her concerts whenever she's in town."
Reps for Jerry Seinfeld and Rodriguez had no comment. Madonna's rep said she was unaware of the meeting.

| WHOOPI GOLDBERG CRUSHES ON JOHN MAYER! Blog |
Make room for one more on the John Mayer bandwagon!
After the singer's rousing, three-song performance at Tony Bennett's Exploring The Arts Gala in Manhattan Tuesday night, emcee Whoopi Goldberg took to the stage smiling like a teenaged girl.
"Oh my God! How cute is John Mayer?" The View host, 52, said to the cheering crowd, which included Gayle King, Regis Philbin, Terrence Howard and Quincy Jones. "In the old days, I'da snatched him up," she continued to roars of laughter. "Now, I'm too tired." Mayer's main concern was not winning female fans, however. The Grammy-winner – whose exes include Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson – said he was simply "excited" by the challenge of performing with Bennett's band.
"I'm sort of a true musician at heart, in the sense that I like to be thrown [curveballs]," Mayer, 30, told PEOPLE before the show at Cipriani Wall Street. "[I like] being a producer, and then maybe going home and working on hip hop tunes, and then working on a drum machine, working on whatever the next thing is. I want to be a Swiss army knife for music!"
Mayer was also happy to show his support for Bennett's charity, which raises funds for music programs in public schools.
"There's 12-year old John Coltranes and Miles Davises walking around," he said. "They just don't know it yet."
The evening also included a speech by Katie Couric and a gut-busting standup routine by Jerry Seinfeld.
Now, the public can get in on the action with an online auction that includes a dress from Christina Aguilera, lunch with Barbara Walters and the a chance to meet Katie Holmes and check out her Broadway show. (Bidding runs through Oct. 1 at CharityBuzz.com.)

| JERRY SEINFELD TO BE MICROSOFT'S NEW $10M PITCHMAN Blog |
Apple has Steve Jobs as its pitchman, as well as Justin Long's popular "Mac Guy" character, so now rival Microsoft will have Jerry Seinfeld – who'll appear alongside company founder Bill Gates in new commercials for Windows Vista, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Seinfeld, 54, will be paid about $10 million for the ads, which are set to debut Sept. 4, says the newspaper. In all, Microsoft is prepared to spend $300 million to beef up its image, and is also considering Chris Rock and Will Ferrell as additional pitchmen. The software giant's ad campaign is especially meant to deal a blow to Apple's successful "Mac vs. PC" TV spots that star "Mac Guy" Long, former boyfriend of Drew Barrymore. While the Mac Guy is cool, the PC guy (played by actor John Hodgman) comes off as nerdy.
The new Microsoft campaign will be the biggest in that company's history, says the Journal, which also says the ads will somehow play off the slogan "Windows, Not Walls."
