Like we always say, we're still baffled at how this woman had sex with Salman Rushdie. I don't give a shit how smart he is, damn it...

Anyway, Padma walked the red carpet in a beautiful Badgley Mischka dress that helped to accentuate her most important assets. If you like what you see, make sure catch Padma & her culinary friends on the latest season of Top Chef, which kicked off in August.

Padma Lakshmi @ "Inglourious Basterds" Screening in NYC

The screening was put on by The Cinema Society of New York City (E. 78th & 5th Ave).

I still can't believe she let a dude like Salman Rushdie motorboat her for a few years. We'll just assume she was really desperate at that time in her career...

Anyway, these days you can catch a bite of Padma as host of "Top Chef" on the Bravo network.

Our Favorites From The 2009 Film Independent's Spirit Awards

"The Wrestler" took top honors at the award show last night with trophies for Best Feature, Best Male Lead (Mickey Rourke) and Best Cinematography (Maryse Alberti). I don't know how many of you bastards caught this movie, but I absolutely loved it. Now, "Slumdog Millionaire" is a great flick, but I feel like the "The Wrestler" is on a whole another level of cinema. Everything from acting to story to music was topnotch, so it's really unfortunate that it will get passed up later tonight at the Academy Awards.

Anyway, enough with the babbling. While we await the flood of red carpet pics from the Oscars, here are some of our favorite pics from the Spirit Awards' red carpet. Click each photo below for more pics of the chick...
