A-Rod drops ‘clingy’ blonde

Alex Rodriguez has dumped pretty Miami blonde Elaine Spottswood, telling friends she was getting “too clingy” — the same reason he ditched Kate Hudson. A-Rod had dated Spottswood, who famously went to lunch with him in Miami wearing just a shirt, for a few months. “Alex and Elaine would see each other every day at the gym,” said a source. “But he was overheard telling friends that Elaine was getting too clingy, so he had to end it with her.” Other sources tell us the Yankee slugger — who’s also been seeing gorgeous Wilhelmina model Melissa B — is keen to shed his playboy image now that he’s at spring training in Tampa. But that didn’t stop him renting a bungalow at W South Beach, where he was seen hanging out with several girls at the pool and bar for the weekend before he headed to camp. His rep didn’t get back to us and Spottswood could not be reached.
