Alex Rodriguez Might be a Crappy Father

Take it for what it's worth, but Page Six is reporting that A-Rod is ditching his kids to spend Thanksgiving with Madonna:

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!"

Of course all of this is coming from his bitter ex-wife, so it's probably only half true. Or possibly not at all. It's hard to believe really. I wouldn't ditch Jeffrey Dahmer's skeletal remains to spend Thankgiving with Madonna, so I can't imagine Alex Rodriguez is that lame. But who knows? He did ditch Texas for New York, and look how well that worked out.
