Alex Rodriguez, Madonna are all smiles at Miami concert

MIAMI - Was that the look of love Madonna and Alex Rodriguez were beaming at each other Wednesday night?

It sure looked like it to some folks at Madge's Sticky & Sweet concert at Dolphin Stadium in Miami.

As A-Rod sat in a front row between Rod Stewart and his amour's manager, Guy Oseary, Madge fixed her gaze on him and sang, "You Must Love Me."

He smiled at her, and the Material Girl got all teary-eyed.

Many in the crowd nodded knowingly when, before her rendition of "I'm So Far Away," she told fans, "I'm sure you can relate about a long-distance love affair."

In a couple of hotter moments, Madge gyrated in A-Rod's direction while winking at him and later went pneumatic on a speaker while staring his way.

Through it all A-Rod smiled, applauded and even rose to his feet when Madge - apparently in need of more crowd participation - shouted, "C'mon you mother-------, stand up and stop trying to look bored. Put your hands in the air and smell your armpits."

Apparently nothing Madge can do offends her fans or A-Rod.

She began her show two hours late because she got caught in traffic, never apologized for the delay and didn't even wish the crowd a happy Thanksgiving.

Still, they cheered like crazy.

Sources close to A-Rod confirmed Wednesday night that he's spending Thanksgiving with his soon-to-be ex-wife and her family in Miami.

"He has been planning on attending dinner with Cynthia, their daughters and her family for some time now," the source told the Daily News.

The report that A-Rod will be breaking bread with his estranged wife's family comes amid rumors that he was going to ditch dinner with his two young daughters, Natasha, 4, and Ella, 1, to host a get-together in New York for Madonna and her kids.
