As part of their wrap-up of the season finale of a show called Top Chef (it may be The Top Chef, we can't be sure), Gawker [1] was dismayed at the single status of the show's lead, Padma Lakshmi [2]. Usually we think of the writers and editors at Gawker as snark-spewing, clever gremlins, but they're really people; like you, us and Apollo Creed (yes, he is quite a character).

So Joshua Stein has taken it upon his, clearly, strapping shoulders to get Padma Lakshmi married up. It's a noble goal. The hostess (with the roast-ess) has not been married in what seems like a fortnight but has really been a solid 16 months and 0 death decrees since she and Salman Rushdie [3] cried Chacha* on their marriage. Since her split with Rushdie, she has been seen in the company of Ted Forstmann [4] and Adam Dell [5], both billionaires pre-economic downturn.

Gawker developed a pretty detailed personal ad for Princess Padma but it seemed a little too complex, so we took a shot at it:

Sexy Sub-Continenter ex-model w/ TV show seeks billionaire or literary luminary or really cool dude for companionship/marriage. Looks not important & am cool, racially. Send CV & balance sheet.

But Gawker really outdid themselves was on their video. They didn't bother with that nasty embed code, so we can't rebroadcast on our end. It's worth a looksie Lakshmi . Also, start brainstorming about who we can find for her, a Roth or a Rothschild will suffice. And after you comment here, let Gawker [1] know your ideas, it's their brainchild.

*Chacha means father's brother in Hindi.
