"Blame it on Rio." That’s the headline splashed across W magazine’s website showing racy photographs of Madonna and her new, young companion, model Jesus Luz. Why Rio? Well, that’s where Madonna officially became a cougar.

The 46-page spread in W’s March edition shows a provocative Madge playing dress-up in a Rio de Janeiro hotel with Brazilian-born model Jesus Luz, along with a cast of other stud muffins. Madonna, 50, and Luz, 22, reportedly first met during this magazine shoot, as photographed by legendary shutterbug Steven Klein. Since then, the pair has been spotted dining out in New York City. 

Meanwhile, Madge’s recent ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, doesn’t seem too bothered by the relationship. London’s Daily Mail reports the former spouses put aside their differences on Saturday to attend a kabbalah service in New York with their three children.

While Madge and Luz brought the heat to the sheets in Rio and continue to light up the town in the States, another man in Madge’s life has come under fire. Reports confirm that Yankee’s slugger Alex Rodriguez — whose relationship with the Material Girl helped dismantle his marriage — took steroids. We bet Madge is happy she cut that one loose, no?
