GOSSIP: Newly single Madonna is rumoured to be enjoying a whirlwind fling with a hunky Brazilian model named Jesus Luz.
The 50-year-old-singer is reported to have paired up with Jesus during a photoshoot for W magazine at the Hotel Gloria in Rio de Janeiro, during the South American leg of her Sticky and Sweet world tour.
Smitten divorcee Madge is believed to have spotted the guy candy during the snap session and later asked him to join her on tour in Sao Paolo - without her rumoured Yankee boy toy Alex Rodriguez in tow.
A snitch tells New York gossip columnists Page Six: "She was very interested in him," adding that the singer had reportedly made her interest in the young model "extremely clear".
"He's [Jesus] there with her now and [photographer] Steven Klein is helping him get along with everyone."
And according to Brazilian Website Glamurama: "Everyone knows they are ficando - which is a Portuguese expression that means they are kissing and doing other things but without any obligation of being faithful or getting into a relationship afterwards."
Page Six adds: "A-Rod might want to haul it down to Brazil and keep an eye on his new lady.
"Madonna, who was blamed for coming between Alex Rodriguez and his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Cynthia, is having a grand old time in Brazil while on her Sticky & Sweet tour - and without her Yankee boy toy."
Madonna's longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said: "I'm still waiting to hear about Jesus." Whatever that means.
Don't hold your breath.

Exactly, Santa's delivered an early Christmas present for her Ladyship.
Meanwhile Madonna's latest single Miles Away has bombed in the U.K charts. The song, believed to be about her doomed relationship with Ritchie, stalled at an embarrassing No 39 in the charts - her worst-performing single in her 24-year career.
A snitch tells the Mirror: "This is a massive blow for her. Only reaching 39 in the charts is disastrous for her. Madonna is completely obsessed by her career. She has a ridiculous level of ambition and will be furious that Miles away has flopped. Apart from her kids, there's nothing else she lives for."
Guy Ritchie: Yes he Khan...
Also ... Madge's ex Guy Ritchie appears to be celebrating his newfound freedom by spending some 'quality time' with millionaire heiress Jemima Khan.
The Telegraph reports that Khan, who was romantically linked to actor Hugh Grant for a while, has struck up an "intriguing relationship" with the director.
"They have become very fond of each other," a snitch tells the newspaper.
Ritchie, 40 and Khan, 33, attended a dinner party together earlier this month at the London home of PR guru Matthew Freud and his wife, Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Also in attendance at the party was Sting's wife, Trudie Styler. Trudie famously introduced Madonna to Guy Ritchie during a dinner party at her home in 1999.
And this past weekend, the pair were spotted together again at a celebrity-infested Christmas party at the Freuds' homestead with guests including Stella and Mary McCartney, Lily Allen, Simon Cowell, Mick Jagger and Kevin Spacey, says the Mirror
Snitches say Madonna is "thrilled" her ex has found a new playmate.
A mole said: "It's not like she's asking him for details, but she's thrilled at the prospect of him moving on. It makes things easier for everybody."
Good to see that the Ritchies' PR machine is so well-oiled.
Call us cynical, but...
Strategically dropping 'romance bombs' to key gossip pundits is one surefire way of bolstering your clients' eligibility post-divorce.
And revenge is sweet. Nothing says "I'm so over you" and "I've scraped you off my shoe" louder than a reported hook-up with a hot new lover. Talk about a deviant one-finger salute.
Scandalous.
