UPDATED: Madonna And A-Rod's Thanksgiving Plans - Together Or Apart?

UPDATE FROM US WEEKLY DENYING MADONNA THANKSGIVING PLANS:

But a source close to the Yankee slugger - who split from his wife this summer after Us Weekly reported he'd been making late-night visits to Madonna's NYC apartment - tells Usmagazine.com: "It's not true. I spoke to her this morning.

"He's going to be with Cynthia and her entire family for Thanksgiving, and this has been planned for months," the insider adds. "It's quite a big celebration."

"They have a large family get together every year," the source tells Us. "It was always his intention to go to the family get together with her family, and it includes a whole array of relatives."

PREVIOUSLY:
The NY Post picked up an "Access Hollywood" report of Madonna and Alex Rodriguez's Thanksgiving plans together. The story comes from A-Rod's ex Cynthia Rodriguez.

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.

The friend of Cynthia said A-Rod's furious ex described Madonna in "not so nice terms" in the e-mail.

To add insult to injury, after Rodriguez left Miami at Madonna's beck and call, his lawyer called Cynthia and wanted her to sign the couple's divorce settlement.

Also in the NY Post, Liz Smith defends her friend Madonna while slamming Guy:

Guy Ritchie gets about $70 million. He is not walking away "without a penny." Please! He was no poor boy picked up from nowhere; so now he has to be compensated to support the life to which he has become accustomed. Guy Ritchie had a name and considerable cash when he and Madonna married. He's earning about $4 million right now for directing "Sherlock Holmes." But once you taste the really high life, you hold on if you can.

If not to the woman, at least to her money.

I just like her music, the rest of her life is of no interest to me, ( even though I am posting : ) , I just find that Americans are more interested in the personal life of singers, etc. than their art. I have most of her albums but I don't care if she eats turkey or has an affair as long as her next album is great. Just my opinion.

[happyspartan]

Seems that this is a platonic relationship that may involve her mentoring A-Rod to the next level of success (i.e.: a World Series?)
I think the tip-off is that they have the same agent/manager and he will be at the Thanksgiving as well. A-Rod has befriended other successful people in the past such as Warren Buffett.
Besides, he must have a list of beautiful young ladies to get physical with.

If not A-Rod, somebody else will be stuffing her turkey.

[landoffools]

And that scrawny turkey is rife with salmonella !

Madonna may be interesting but she strikes me as too old for A-rod.
What could they have in common?
They seem so different in interests and background except for the fact they both have millions of dollars.
Possibly they enjoy working out? I doubt either one cooks.
They'll enjoy living it up for a while and don't need each other's money. Trust comes easier.
He makes a nice looking escort for her. She still looks young and very energetic compared to 99% of people her age.
She shure does way better than Liza.

Who. Cares.

[scubasteve]

you do - making the effort to express your lack of interest is a very dichotomous act

[NoSillyName]

Two egomaniacs. What a couple. Are the bookies in Vegas taking bets on how long this will last?

[Lisica]

Looks like a desperate move by HP to keep its readership by running stories about Madonna, Pitt & Jolie, etc.

[starznstripez]

Please stop the nonsense. Nobody cares about this story.

[gr8abz]

Meanwhile -- here we all are.

[Verified]

All I could think when I saw this headline was ...who cares? Looks like I'm not alone.

[ScoobyDoo269]

WHO CARES!

[barnamink]

And this is news because...?

[bubbuh]

sex and baseball bats

[Lerk4]

God with the condition the country is in is this story for real?

[gr8abz]

Yes. To those celebs worth over half a billion dollars or more(and there are many), the lame economy means nothing. They still manage to thrive because of their name while others fail. It is sad and unfair when the vast population is afraid of ending up broke these days. This gross imbalance is the darker side of capitalism -- which I still favor above other systems.

[LUCKY-ME]

If the Indians had given the early pilgrems a donkey instead of a turkey for thankgiving, we would all be enjoying a piece of *SS for thanksgiving.

Madonna's diet is said to be really strict, so to me spending Thanksgiving with her seems no fun at all! Boooo!!!! (come on Thanksgiving is the one day a year that you really let loose!!) :-)
