Enough about taxes. Let’s pause briefly for a little media nudity.

Padma Kakshmi, former wife of Salmon Rushdi. Well, I'll be fatwahed.

So there’s a magazine out there called Allure. Or so we’ve been told.

One of the IHateTheMedia.com wives describes it as “sort of a cross between Shape and Vogue with lots of fashion and make-up and stuff like that.”

So the May issue of the magazine is called “The Nude Issue.” It features Top Chef host (and former wife of Salmon Rushdi) Padma Lakshmi, E! talk show host Chelsea Handler and “Dollhouse” star Eliza Dushku stripped down to…well…nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Rest assured, this is tasteful nudity. Artistic, one might even say. And as supporters of the arts, they’re right up our tasteful alley. Our review of the art can be summed up in a word:

Va-va-voom.

“I tend to sleep in the nude… I’m a sensual-leaning woman,” Padma said. “You have to use the word ‘leaning’ or it sounds like I’m boasting.”

When asked about her favorite body part, Chelsea said: “My boobs are good. They’re real and perky.”

Eliza: “I’ll strip down to my underwear and my Ugg boots when I eat lunch in my trailer.”

We just have one question. What time is lunch?

Salman Rushdie issues fatwah against Slumdog Millionaire

salman-rushdieOne would think a novelist would understand the concept of “creative license.” But not Salman Rushdie. He’s offended that Slumdog Millionaire contains scenes that (gasp) aren’t realistic.

The Indian-born author recently told an audience at Atlanta’s Emory University that the Academy Award-winning film “piles impossibility on impossibility.”

Rushdie, who gained more fame for hiding than he ever did for writing, spent years cowering in a closet after Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwah against him in 1989.

The author of “The Satanic Verses” was in a tizzy that the “Slumdog Millionaire” scene at the Taj Mahal is, in reality, more than 1,000 miles from where the previous scene took place.

Why stop there, Salman? How about the fact that “The Wrestler” showed Mickey Rourke with an attractive woman, “Benjamin Button” aged in reverse, and “Milk” depicted Sean Penn as rational.
