Man, Top Chef has gained some serious momentum these past few weeks. The hazing incident, the tight-lipped complaints about Padma, the crappy, producer-driven elimination of Sam in favor of an Ilan vs. Marcel match-up. (Got spoilers? Oh, yeah, but don't click here unless you want to know who gets paprika-ed in the end.) Today's Top Chef bombshell - Padma's a pothead, and I'm not referring to her affinity for Le Creuset cookware. According to our friends over at Best Week Ever, Padma enjoys toking up on the set. Allegedly, this was a fairly regular occurrence.Frankly, I think this is great. Padma is no longer a strangely lifeless spokesmodel and gourmand. She's a stoner. Both her appetite and her lackadaisical air suddenly make so much sense. You can tell just by looking at him that her hubbie Salman Rushdie enjoys the demon weed. (So would you if you had a fatwa hanging over your head for most of your adult life.) And, thanks to Anthony Bourdain, we know that chefs tend towards the libertine side. Maybe in the finale, Ilan and Marcel can put aside their differences, smoke up and just give the prize money to Sam.

When I first read your article, I thought, "Wow, this chick is actually cool, she tokes and is in a lovely picture with her father...after all this time I had been discounting her". But, my cheer quickly turned to this chick is CREEPY when you mentioned that her husband was that old bag Salman Rushdie-YUUUUCK! Bravo get new hosts for Top Chef, instead of these lifeless FEMBOTS.

If Padma was a dish, I would eat every bit of it.
