A Very Madonna Thanksgiving, Starring Alex Rodriguez
It’s entirely too early in the morning for this sort of thing. News is that Cynthia Rodriguez, soon to be ex-wife of slugger Alex Rodriguez, is hopping mad that he is abandoning his children to jump at the chance to be with Madonna and her offspring:
The Yankee slugger, who ditched his wife of six years, Cynthia, after becoming besotted with Madonna, is a “soul-less” man who is “abandoning” his kids on Thanksgiving for his lover, according to what Cynthia is telling friends.
“Access Hollywood” reports that Cynthia, who’s in the final stages of her divorce from A-Rod, wrote an e-mail to a confidant noting: “My 6-foot-3, 220-pound soul-less, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna . . . She called and he ran on her command back to New York City . . . Gross!”
Instead of ushering in the holidays in Miami with his children, Natasha, 4, and Ella, 1 – A-Rod, 33, is hosting a dinner at his Manhattan apartment for Madonna, 50, and her kids, Lourdes, Rocco and David, and manager Guy Oseary.
Well, it’s nice to know that A-Rod has his priorities straight. After all, what could be more important than keeping Madonna happy?
Cynthia, a bit of advice for you: He doesn’t want to be with you or your children. Deal with it and stop trying to force him to pay attention to his daughters, because most of the time a man who is forced to spend time with his children comes to resent it even though that’s the wrong attitude to take. Raise them to respect him but not to expect him. One of two things will happen…either he will decide he likes being free and will just ignore them (and really, do you want a man like that in their life?), or he’ll eventually realize what he’s lost with his kids and try to make amends with them. Either way, make sure he supports them financially, because that is only right.
This has all the makings of a really bad Lifetime special. Thanksgiving With M-Rod, the heartwarming holiday tale of a couple with no boundaries, no scruples, no wrinkles, and no family.
UPDATE: For those of you wetting yourself over the details…AH may have gotten the specifics wrong regarding locations but they seem to be on the money otherwise. M-Rod may not be in New York, but they are in Miami, and they are definitely together. See here for photographic proof. It was his camp that tried to tell everyone A-Rod put family first.














You’re a day late and a dollar short on this one. Access Hollywood was wrong and many other papers have pointed that out.

Boy is this guy in for a rude awakening. He’ll soon regret ever hearing the name ‘Madonna’.
Cindy is well rid of him.

Best of LUCK CINDY… I know what you mean with some of these athletes and their wives and their children.
I personally know how much it hurts.
No matter what, you are not looking bad in the public, we are all human.
These guys place us in a tough spot.

To Lisa Miceli:
Michael Jordan did NOT place YOU in a tough spot. YOU did it all to yourself, and you know it. You were a one, maybe 2, time booty call- that’s it. And then YEARS after the last time you saw him, you had a kid by some random black guy and tried to pawn him off as MJ’s. Then you harrassed and stalked MJ, and everyone close to him (including his wife at the time, Juanita) and it landed you in jail for a little while. So go back to blogging in your parents basement.
