New York Yankees star third baseman Alex Rodriguez went "ballistic" after cameras cut to him and Hollywood gal pal Cameron Diaz during Super Bowl XLV, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed source.

Cameras caught the superstar couple between plays just as Diaz was feeding the Yankees' slugger popcorn.

"He really went ballistic — thinking the cameraman was out to get them in a paparazzi-like shot…" an unnamed insider told the Sun-Times. "Anyone who knows anything about producing a live sports event, especially something as huge as the Super Bowl, would know that those celebrity shots are purely random."

The source claims A-Rod was not feeling the love and was reportedly given a guarantee that he would not be televised to the 111 million Super Bowl viewers again.

"That's one reason you saw so many shots of [former] President and Mrs. Bush," the source said. "They didn't seem to mind being shown on camera."
