News headlines today: Salman Rushdie attacked, stabbed on stage before speech.
I told Trevor that Rushdie is an Indian Muslim author who wrote unflattering things about Muhammad, the founder of Islam, back in the 80s, resulting in death threats. I also told him, "The one thing about him you'll NEVER GUESS is who is was married to!"
Trevor, bewildered: Uh, Padma Lakshmi.
Me: :o
Truly. He had NO IDEA, just threw that out there, thinking Padma had been married several times. (She was only married once, and it was to Rushdie.) We know her as a Top Chef host, but we haven't watched that show in a few years.
Crazy. And it is worthy of being remembered here!
