Marriage Lacks Mirch
Padma & Salman
Rumor has it Top Chef hostess Padma Lakshmi has split with Salman Rushdie, her husband of the last three years.
According to a source at the New York Observer, Lakshmi, 36, is leaving the Midnight’s Children author in order to focus on her career.
Designer Diane von Furstenberg (wrap-dresses!) was overheard talking about the breakup, telling friends: “I can’t believe she’s leaving him.”
Salman Rushdie, 59, is currently a writer-in-residence at Emory University in Atlanta.
The two were an item for more than eight years.

I, for one, am shocked.
I thought this would be the one time where a marriage between entertainers separated by more than two decades (her: 36, him: 253), intellectual achievement (him: acclaimed author, her: probably can read), and fatwa status (her: -, him: +) made it. I’m devastated.
Luckily, I drink a lot, so the feeling won’t last.

hahah, SuperJagjit. I couldn’t agree more.
