Cynthia Flew in 9th Month for A-Rod

Forget all this talk of Alex Rodriguez’s wife, Cynthia, now known as C-Rod, not being there for her man.

A heavily pregnant Cynthia flew to New York to be at Yankee Stadium on opening day in the Bronx back on April 1. I know because I sat just a few seats away from her.

Everyone around us commented on C-Rod’s pregnancy, and the fact that she was standing by her man despite everything he’d done to her in the previous season.

Twenty days later she gave birth to their second child, a daughter, in Miami on April 21, 2008.

This means that C-Rod flew in her ninth month from New York to Miami, which doctors generally discourage. She braved rain on the Yankees’ failed home opener on March 31, and then returned the next day to give Alex a proper send-off.

Or was she simply marking her territory? From all the timelines we’ve put together, third baseman Rodriguez had already attended Madonna's big fundraiser for the Kabbalah Center’s incursion into Malawi on Feb. 6.

And Rodriguez, as I revealed on Monday, had already sublet a luxury condo in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Columbus Circle sometime during the winter — even though he and C-Rod have a swanky pad on Fifth Avenue.

Let no anonymous supporters of A-Rod depict his wife as an absentee lover who didn’t hang in there for her husband. Coming to that New York home opener was significant in her condition. That may have also been the last time she saw her husband before she gave birth.

And one asks: How is it that A-Rod missed the birth by 10 minutes? He certainly must have known at least a day in advance that the baby was on its way. Perhaps he was just preoccupied.

Oprah’s 'Cousin'; A New 'Discovery'?; Music — Lots of It

In promos for Friday’s show (a repeat, I think), Oprah Winfrey calls Lisa Marie Presley "my cousin." Whatever in the world would possess the otherwise sensible Winfrey to dub Elvis Presley’s daughter in this way? More importantly, how does she not see that these wild infatuations with celebrity Scientologists such as Presley, Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley — all wildly out of proportion to her interests in other celebrities — mitigates her important endorsement and enthusiasm for things like charitable giving, her South African school and Barack Obama? ...

Rose McGowan may be parted from director Robert Rodriguez (no relation to the baseball family but we might start calling him R-Rod). This doesn’t mean she has no new admirers. Leaving Brett Ratner’s Foxtail club the other night, Rose is said to have crossed paths with Discovery Channel’s Josh Bernstein, coming out of restaurant Dan Tana’s (the two establishments are next-door neighbors on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood). Josh used the old "I’m waiting for my car, too" line while flirting with the beauteous Rose while valets took their time. …

Pregnant Minnie Driver, a hit on TV’s "The Riches," is forging ahead with a film "comeback" as well. Her indie film "Take," which was a hit at the Tribeca Film Festival, opens July 25 with great advance buzz. …

CNBC talk show guy and famed ad man Donny Deutsch managed to get himself surrounded by women less than half his age at the Waverly Inn last night, all in short skirts and high heels. It’s good to be king! ...

Hot Israeli actress Meital Dohan — known to fans of Showtime’s "Weeds" — makes her off-Broadway debut in "Stitching" by controversial British playwright Anthony Neilson and directed by Timothy Haskell. It’s at The Wild Project, 195 East Third St., here in Manhattan. …

Haven’t the Hamptons been invaded by all the big designers? Now comes Albright Fashion Library, famous for dressing actresses Kristen Davis, Sandra Bullock, Gabrielle Union and Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie. Maybe Albright will pick out the frock for the latter when she and her group perform at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. They’ve just been selected to be on the bill. …

Thanks to Bud Scoppa at hitsdailydouble.com, I know about a couple of CDs that otherwise would have remained unheard. One is by producer Robin Danar (www.robindanar.com), who has worked for years doing sound on the road for the amazing Julia Fordham.

On his Web site you can hear a bunch of exciting new tracks, including a wonderful cover of Michael Jackson’s "Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough" featuring Julian Coryell, as well as Paul Buchanan on a cool, cool version of The Pretenders’ "Message of Love" that I can’t stop listening to. Thanks to Bud, I also know about an Aug. 26 release coming from the great Matthew Sweet called "Sunshine Lies" on Shout! Factory Records (www.matthewsweet.com). ...

Another great release: Garnett Mimms, R&B legend, now 75 years young, has a new album on the Evidence label. "Is Anybody Out There?" hits Amazon and stores on July 30. I haven’t been able to stop listening to these tracks produced and written by Nashville’s Jon Tiven. Mimms is a kind of Lost Boy of soul who still has a raspy muscular voice. His greatest hits are spectacular, including the original version of what became Janis Joplin’s "Cry, Cry Baby." Don’t miss his version of "For Your Precious Love," either. …

George Michael on his tour is doing a tribute to The Police’s final live shows with his version of "Roxanne." Michael comes to Madison Square Garden in a few days. The Police play their
