Madonna has dumped her trainer Tracy Anderson, according to The New York Post. Madonna confirmed the split when she called in to Ryan Seacrest's radio show, although she didn't say why they parted ways, and just laughed when Ryan asked about the firing.
According to our source, "Madonna had grown tired of the baggage that Tracy always seemed to be carrying with her. Tracy had grown to be more of a distraction than anything else."
Also an issue were photos of Madonna that circulated in July that showed her arms to be grotesquely over-muscular. When Anderson was asked about the pictures on the CBS "Early Show," she laughed and called Madonna her "most devoted client."
Things between the Material Girl and Anderson might also have gotten personal. We reported last month that Philippe van den Bossche, the former head of Madonna's Raising Malawi charity, had quit his post in Los Angeles to move to New York to date Anderson. Van den Bossche was quoted as saying that Madonna was "happy" about his relationship with the trainer. But Madge was said to be disappointed when Anderson wouldn't travel with her on the final leg of her recent European tour until the very end so she could be with Van den Bossche.
Tracy said they parted amicably and then trotted out the politician's excuse that she wanted to spend more time with her family, which we're not buying.
We're thinking Madonna was furious when Tracy bailed out on the last leg of the Sticky and Sweet tour. You don't bail out on Madonna in the middle of a tour. Still, no worries. We're sure she'll have a new trainer in no time.
