    In reply to Padma Lakshmi —
    Are we really glorifying a 39-year-old woman who prides herself on being idolized by 13-year-olds?

    Sorry, but if Mario Batali said that, he'd be carried off in handcuffs.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Either that or they assumed she was made of plastic surgery, ephebophilic tendencies, fucked-up childhood memories and the odd few stray hairs off her pet chimp.

    @momof3wildkids: That side boob shot is funky. I'm debating whether she looks gorgeous or crazy although I guess she could be both. I would like to think that if I were that beautiful I would be less desperate for attention, but alas! I shall never know.

    That party crashing couple is nuts.
    And names too hard to pronounce for people to latch on to in a fun way (see: Johnson, Levi)

    And the husband should really retire that white dinner jacket.

    Teenagers care about Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal? I would think those squeals of glee that he was back on the market would be coming from his substantial following of gays.

    Welp, the picture is getting a little clearer. Unfortunately it's a picture that's really hard to look at.

    "The current chief sponsor of the Cup is Land Rover (which, along with Jaguar Cars, was recently sold by Ford Motors). The traditionally British auto brand currently belongs to Tata Motors, controlled by Indian industrialist Dr. Ratan Tata, who was one of the guests in attendance at the White House"

    Tata is the Indian branch of the Illuminati and the reason we'll all be driving $2,000 cars a few years from now.

    Michaele Salahi, nee Holt, is the daughter of Howard A. Holt, Jr. and Rosemary O'Malley of VA...

    Tariq and Michaele were married in a Catholic Church.

    Salahi's dad was in the 'ohl bi'ness (engineer)

    In reply to The NBC-Bashing Jokes of 30 Rock
    That's a stretch. The Glad joke was certainly poking fun at "Top Chef" for its overt shilling, but in the process 30 Rock dedicated an entire scene to sandwich bags. I doubt Glad is too unhappy about that. #30rock

    In reply to The NBC-Bashing Jokes of 30 Rock
    30 Rock is the only thing on NBC right now worth watching every week. I watched it on my DVR this morning and was laughing my butt off. It's probably the only thing that NBC doesn't completely sanitize before reaching the airwaves. I love that they take digs at the network and whether it's b/c the Lornes/Fey team is powerful enough to get away with it or the people at the network are too stupid to get it (it's definitely possible,) I'm all for it. I highly doubt it'll be the digs that get them canceled but the ratings should they fall low enough, not that NBC can afford to lose any more programming at this point.

    I love Jack's reaction when Padma showed him that she was pregnant. It's a reminder of what all women experience when they announce their pregnancy to superiors, no matter their job or industry. Meanwhile, you could come to work and announce to everyone that you had herpes and the reaction wouldn't be any worse.

    Side note: Padma needs to stick to presenting on Top Chef. Her monotone robotic delivery doesn't really work for anything else. Some girls (and also boys) need to accept that a pretty face can only take you so far. #30rock

    Veering off topic, kinda' but I've seen a few episodes of Jay Leno's show where he takes shots at NBC. WTF? Does anyone have less cause to dis' his employer than Leno?
    Then again I saw him step on a children's toy because it was annoying. I guess he's just trying to be edgy. #30rock

    Padma Lakshmi can't act her way out of a Glad bag. I cringed during that whole scene. Josh Fadem as Liz Lemon's agent on the other hand...brilliant. #30rock

    @b4nt4: I cringed through most of Padma's horrid performance, until she started stealing food (in a Glad bag!) at the end. That deserved a chuckle, but only because she wasn't actually saying anything. #30rock

    In reply to The NBC-Bashing Jokes of 30 Rock
    I think this analysis is completely backwards. 30 Rock has made dissing the actual product and product placement itself a form of product placement. Like Jack says in the Jack-Tor episode in season 1, it's like "Letterman dissing the suits. Hippy humor." Look, NBC is in on the joke, they're cool! Seems odd that Gawker wouldn't be able to grasp this type of thing, since it built an online empire doing pretty much the same thing re: media.

    The sandwich bag jokes are pretty clearly subtle product placement, not a "real kick in the shins". We all know she shills for Glad, and here she is taking credit for inventing the sandwich bag! Buy Glad!

    That's the way I saw it last night, at least.
