Statuesque actress Pia Glenn said she fell in love with the 62-year-old novelist, who "said he loved me." She moved into his New York home in January. But she says she became frustrated with his obsession with Lakshmi, and she was heartbroken when he abruptly dumped her by e-mail in June.

I'm sorry but I always find it really hard to believe it when a 20 something (model???) states that she is in love with a 60 or 60+ older man, especially since the Model?? is usually broke and the man is usually rich.

There was one of Hefner's girls on the old Howard Stern radio show and she stated how great her sex life was with Hefner, right he was in his mid 70's

I'm just saying!!! LOL

I don't know why anyone would go out with Rushdie. If you are married to him and grow old together,fine. But a young woman in her prime to be living with him just gross me out.

It's because he has money and power, most women get drunk with that sort of thing. Even beautiful sophisticated lambs like Padma..

Some women, perhaps. Hardly most women.

didn't he have to live in hiding?

I'll never think of Top Chef the same way.

What is it about writers that they have such over-sized egos and think they are celebrities that have to parade in the media? Visual Artists don't do this.

He is still in love with her, I hope he finds what he needs. He has had a hard life, I hope he finds his love again, with Padma or someone else.

Best wishes Salman!

"He has had a hard life"?

Boo-hoo...seems to have done well for himself, intifada not withstanding.

Are you speaking from a comprehensive understanding of what he has gone through, or a simple ignorant assertion of your prejudice against people who are famous?

He's had a hard life? He was born to British-educated parents (father lawyer, mother teacher). They were very well-to-do and he went to private schools including Cambridge for his advanced degrees. Before he began writing full-time, he worked in ADVERTISING. His novels became popular almost immediately by writer standards. He has received every award imaginable, including a knighthood. I assume you're referring to the attempt that was made on his life. That was indeed horrible. But he knew damn well he was spitting in the face of authority when he wrote an entire book criticizing Muslim traditions. And he lived out the fatwa in luxury in London. Many people whose lives are in danger can't afford full-time security and an expensive home to hide in.

It's more likely that the women he's been involved with have had the hard lives. He's been married FOUR times and had numerous other relationships with models and actresses.

The cynics don't understand the mind of a great writer, he really, really needs her!

Neither are most stories in the Entertainment section, but it's hard not to read it!
