Simon Cowell Judgement Gets Clouded By Sex
Now Mag quotes Simon Cowell's ex girlfriend Sinitta who says his judgement is clouded by sex. Personally I think this is way to much information.
Sinitta appears to keep her media profile high by gibbering about her famous ex all the time. He must not care as she is holidaying with him in Barbados. I wonder what she will divulge from there.

Top Chef - Has Anthony Bourdain's Brain Been Addled By Years Of Drug Use.
An article from blogger Amuse-biatch (this is the best blog name I have seen in at least six months) states that Anthony Bourdain does not think the gorgeous Padam Lakshmi is the sharpest tool in the shed.The Miami Herald News said:
"...Bourdain said he was a huge fan of host and fellow chef Tom Colicchio but snubbed co-host...Padma Lakshmi. Jabbing at the beauty’s intelligence, he said she wouldn’t be his first choice for Barack Obama’s cabinet...[sic]or to host a show."
Gee Anthony comparing her to other female reality TV hosts she looks like she is a member of mensa.
In other Top Chef news last night on Top Chef Season 4, Nikki was eliminated after the horrendous 24 hour catering for a wedding challenge. The only person who was excited by the challenge was Andrew who said he had a "culinary boner".
Here on Yum Sugar is an interview with Nikki talking about her time on the show and what her future plans are.

Tom Colicchio The Thinking Woman's Sex Symbol?
Padma Lakshmi offers a theory of why fans think Tom Collicchio the handsome, bald chef from Top Chef is sexy.
"I think it's because of Tom's authority. I think there's something sexy about authority and I think Tom dispenses his authority very lightly."
Mmmmmm I think she has a point. Below is a picture of Tom in his younger days with hair. I think I prefer the bald look. Your thoughts?

Top Chef - Best Looking Hosts On A Reality TV Show?
Top Chef Season 4, which is currently showing on Arena on Monday nights, is one of the favourite shows in our household.
One of the reasons is that the males in the household get to ogle at the beautiful, sophisticated host Padma Lakshmi. And the females get to watch the sexy and dry wit of chef Tom Collichio.

This show has two cooking challenges each episode, with one person eliminated each week.
I was amazed that Padma who was previously a model and is also a cookbook author was married to Salman Rushdie (this was post fatwa). Clearly she has read his books, something I have not managed apart from the first three chapters of Midnight's Children. What is with it with model's and older men? Yes Kristy Hinze I am talking about you.
Picture and more info on marriage can be found on Re-marriage.com
She was married to him from 2004 to 2007 and was his fourth wife. She does not say whether being on a reality TV show was the reason the marriage ended.
Here is an article from the November Harpers Bazaar where she shows us her apartment in the New York. The picture of her closet is amazing. And yes the swing is in her living room - she does not use it for Samantha from Sex In The City escapades.

Now onto Tom who is the sexiest chef on TV, sorry Matt Moran. Tom owns numerous restaurants in New York with Craft in their title. Salon has a great interview with him HOWEVER IT HAS SEASON 4 SPOILERS IN IT.
He does say the Chef's are judged on the food alone, and they are not able to have anything to do with the contestants outside of judging, and he has a cult following in the gay community.
Last night eliminated contestant Mark from New Zealand who played a didgeridoo, accused Tom of not liking him. This apparently was him being dead pan. Buddy TV has an exit interview with Mark. Please note there is a small spoiler in it.

Scary Spice To Strut Her Stuff On a Reality TV Show.
Mel B will be having a reality TV show based on her fashion label. Lets hope it is more successful then Posh Spice's reality TV show. Victoria Beckham only managed to get one episode of her show of her poncing about in LA.
Ok I admit I was about the only one I know who enjoyed the first episode, especially the scene where they used the blowup doll that looked surprisingly like her as a decoy.

Tom the co-host and judge on Top Chef has oodles on restaurants, but will be doing Tuesday Night Dinners where he will cook a set menu for 40 people every second Tuesday in the private dining room at Craft. However expect to pay the big bucks for it.
The article here in Gawker shows that they are not very impressed with the concept nor the price tag of up to $250 per person.
