Acclaimed novelist Sir Salman Rushdie faced a fatwah, so of course he was going to strike back at Page Six. Yesterday, the Post's gossip section quoted his ex Pia Glenn, who claimed Rushdie was still hung up on ex-wife Padma Lakshmi (well, who wouldn't be) and that he stole a year from Glenn's life. Today, Page Six offers Rushdie's version, which begins: "The reason I broke up with Pia Glenn is that I came to feel that she's an unstable person who carries around a large, radioactive bucket of stress wherever she goes. It was just exhausting to deal with."





Judging by this picture I wouldn't doubt it.
He has the uncanny ability to get lots of hot ass. Yes he's rich, but he also looks like a little troll.
Yeah I don't get it either. He must have a secret weapon hidden in his pants?
Don't you know? All male writers have beautiful wives or girlfriends. The better the writer, the better looking significant other.
Not sure how it works for female writers.
Good Writing = The New Equalizer?

Yeah I heard about this. I have to say, most of what Rushdie says about women flirts with the demeaning. I'm not a fan.
when she'd come by late night I always wondered what was so heavy in my ex's pack and now I know,"a large, radioactive bucket of stress" thanks Salman!
Note to self: Finish my damn novel.
That's why he got the Fatwah.
How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice litte story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protaganist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? (voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off.
The hell with Rushdie. He signed the petition to release that rapist polanski.
