A-Rod's Thanksgiving Double Play
Alex Rodriguez got a lot of grief in the press when his soon to be ex-wife Cynthia let it slip that the "soul-less" baseball player was going to skip Thankgiving dinner with his kids to be with Madonna. After a couple of days of really bad press, A-Rod ended up having his cake
and eating it too. He had dinner with Cynthia and the kids and then rushed off to be with Madonna.
Rodriguez enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner in Miami Thursday afternoon with ex-wife Cynthia and daughters Natasha, 4, and Ella, 7 months.
Reports surfaced earlier this week that Rodriguez was planning to abandon his children on Thanksgiving to spend time with Madonna in New York. However, a source tells PEOPLE this was never the case.
"He always had every intention of spending the holiday with Cynthia, the family, and his two daughters," the source says. "There was never any intention of him flying back. The allegations regarding this trip to New York [to be with Madonna] couldn't be anything farther from the truth," the source says.
Instead, Madonna extended her Miami trip and the pair were able to spend the holiday together anyway. The Daily News says that Rodriguez rushed off to Star Island, where Madonna has a home, soon after wrapping up Thanksgiving dinner with his family.
This sounds like damage control, big time. Cynthia played the press card and A-Rod had to show up for Thanksgiving dinner with his kids. That's what we think, anyway.

Seriously Disturbed Thanksgiving Diet Tips
Thanksgiving is a day of horror and revulsion for anorexics everywhere who are faced with a groaning buffet table of delectable treats. To survive the bacchanalia with your BMI intact, Radar Online has issued a handy survival guide for the followers of the high cult of Ana.
- Invoke history. No less a great American than Benjamin Franklin favored installing the turkey, not the bald eagle, as our national symbol. "For in truth the Turk'y is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America," remarked Franklin. "He is (though a little vain and silly, it is true, but not the worse emblem for that) a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British Guards, who should presume to invade his farm yard with a red coat on." Cast your decision not to eat the noble bird as an act of respect for one of our greatest founding fathers. Then accuse everyone at the table of hating you for your freedom.
- Get involved in serious dish-passing. Situate yourself between food-medicating uncles and hormonal nephews. Make like a seasoned air traffic controller and wave by dish after dish. Not only will you never have to eat the glop on your plate, but you'll also finally tone up those hideous man wrists.
*****
- Offer political motivations for your refusal to eat. Declare, "I am not eating until there's peace in Darfur." Distribute heartbreaking photos downloaded from savedarfur.org and darfurgenocide.org. Pack up as many uneaten entrees as you can in Ziploc bags and pledge to donate the booty to the people who really need it. Alternately, tie your refusal to eat to the inability of gays to wed. That's how Angelina Jolie does it.
Somehow we think most people are going to have the opposite problem tomorrow: most Americans will be trying to stop eating, not plotting ways to con your relatives into thinking that they actually do eat.
