In today's Post follow up of the Madonna/A-Rod love SCANDAL!!, there's no mention of the baseball player's good deed yesterday, but there is a smoking gun that confirms these two are totally banging each other: Rodriguez is into Kabbalah. He's got the string and everything. Why is that such a big deal? Because he refuses to comment about it.

The Post has also learned that the two egocentric stars share something deeper than the same agent - kabbalah. In recent months, A-Rod has shown active interest in studying the Jewish mystical practice popularized by Madonna, her director hubby, and Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, sources said.

Rodriguez has visited kabbalah centers in south Florida, where the all-star and the singer both have posh homes, the sources said.

"I'm not talking about it. No comment," A-Rod, 32, told The Post yesterday when asked about his linkage to the soon-to-be-50 Madonna, whose past athletic conquests include basketball stars Dennis Rodman and Charles Barkley, and Rodriguez's nemesis José Canseco.

And in case it's not yet painfully clear where all the reports of A-Rod's late night visits are coming from:

A source at Madonna's building told Us Weekly that Rodriguez "has been hanging out at her apartment a lot lately. He's been leaving by himself as late as midnight."

Another source said, "All the doormen are talking."
