Alex Rodriguez is celebrating Thanksgiving this year by ditching out on his ex-wife and more importantly his own children by having dinner with Madonna and her kids. Page Six reports:

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.

A-rod is such an idiot it's actually kind of enjoyable to watch unfold. Yes, he had what seemed like an iron-clad prenuptial agreement, but anything can happen during divorce proceedings, especially with the confirmation that he cheated on her. So considering he's in the middle of a high profile divorce, you'd think making headlines about ditching your children for some old hag may not be the smartest move.
