Rushdie, Crushed? Salman Might No Longer Sizzle For Top Chef Dish
Is it curtains for author Salman Rushdie and his fourth wife, the actress, chef and reality-show hostess Padma Lakshmi?
Late last week, a source overheard designer Diane von Furstenberg obsessing over the news that the luscious Ms. Lakshmi, 36, was set to drop the 59-year-old novelist, her husband of three years, like a heavy sack of unread best-sellers.
“I can’t believe she’s leaving him,” Ms. von Furstenberg kept saying, according to the source. The wrap-dress queen is a longtime friend of the couple and attended their wedding in April 2004, along with editor Tina Brown, comedian Steve Martin and assorted other famous guests.
Most troubling to Ms. von Furstenberg, apparently, was Ms. Lakshmi’s stated and not exactly literary reason for putting an end to the relationship with the Booker Prize winner: to focus on her big Bravo hit, Top Chef.

Me too... but I'm thinking the fact that she's married to Salman Rushdie helped a bit too. I hadn't seen her on TV nor heard of her before Top Chef.

He just spoke at Hofstra last week and she was there - they looked cute together.
He's a genius - his writing is incredible.
I imagine he'll get over it - he lived for 10 years underground with a price on his head by the Shah of Iran after his work The Satanic Verses came out.

oh, she's gorgeous - but I have to tell you - he's so smart and such a great writer that I've always had a bit of a crush on him. . . more like a "name one person you'd like to have dinner with" kind of crush.
and his british accent (born in India, lived most of his life in Britain) is pretty smooth.
