Alex Rodriguez is learning that being a friend of Madonna gives a whole new meaning to the term "child support." In addition to paying soon-to-be-ex Cynthia Rodriguez a major sum to support their children after the divorce, the Yankee slugger has given more than $500,000 to Madonna's charity, Raising Malawi. The organization aids impoverished Malawi's orphans.
"They've asked him for a million dollars," a source told the News, "and I hear he's agreed to give at least $500,000."
