Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie, who was born in Mumbai, the setting of Best Picture winning Slumdog Millionaire, has written a scathing critique of the film for Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
In the article, published on Saturday, he calls the idea of a boy winning the top prize on India’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire “a patently ridiculous conceit, the kind of fantasy writing that gives fantasy writing a bad name.”
He said that the idea that the boy could have learned all of the answers solely through life experiences is a “beggar’s belief.”
WHOA!
Salman Rushdie arrived at last night’s premiere of The International in New York City with his new…eh, lady.
And she looks like a man, man.
Her name is Pia Glenn and she currently appears as Condoleezza Rice in Will Ferrell’s Broadway show You’re Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush!
He’s 61. She’s 32.
He’s 5’7. She’s 6’1.
He’s a man. And she might be one too.
Pia is a mayjah downgrade from Padma, his ex-wife of three years.

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi was spotted at the New York Knicks vs. Phoenix Suns basketball game at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan with her new boyfriend, Ted Forstmann, on Wednesday.
This is the first public appearance Padma has made with a man on her arm since her divorce a year and a half ago from author Salman Rushdie.
Padma obviously likes her men…well…old.
