it’s quite unexpected from her, as she’s the host of some show; can’t help but change the way you see someone? Yes not too attractive.. plus couldn’t the magazine edit out a couple of them out?

*beautifully*

Who talks like that? It’s annoying.

This is some kind of a joke right?
Jared someone can not seriously speak like that.
What is she 11yrs old? Or is she still taking ESL.

When women do that it gets men and some women really angry. But good for her that she keep it as it is. Those goody two shoes interviews some celebrities give they are all rehearsed and you are left wondering what the woman really thinks.

God what’s with all the f words? She’s turning into another Kimora Lee Simmons.

I think she’s either parodying Gordon Ramsay or making a pathetic effort at mimicking his trademark style of speech. Either way - I’m neither impressed nor bemused. No one swears that much without making a deliberate effort.

Well, at least she is being honest. I get so tired of those prim and proper interviews. It could also have to do with the fact that I myself fall victim to sailor-mouth.

It’s ok to use the f-word but the way she uses it really gives off this arrogant vibe. So bye bye.

Anyway, she’s pretty much an idiot.

she's an idiot @ 11/14/2007 at 12:45 pm

I guessed that her vocabularies are very limited cause she can not think of any other new words but to used f*** over and over again.

Heheee!
More power to her! I think she lived (or still lives?) in London for a while, the d-word is really no big deal there.
Cool she chose to use it in an interview, why not have a “bad” female chef?

pAKISTAN RULES!!! @ 11/14/2007 at 1:11 pm

YOU ARE LIKE SO F-ING ANNOYING, I DON’T PLAN ON BUYING YOUR F-ING BOOK AND I GUESS SINCE YOU ARE NOT F-ING S. RUSHDIE ANYMORE YOU WANT TO F-K WITH US WELL…F U INDIAN GHANDU ****!

OMG.. That’s rude.. I don’t even know her, and now i don’t wanna know her anyway!

She’s ******* rude!

F-king interesting…

I love women beautiful enough to expressively swears like sailors…it is f*****g hot and sexy!!! :)

Just disgusting . Normal people don’t talk like that .Very unattractive and puking. Whats’ worse is she sounds so arrogant about all those d…. words. Big turn off .

ohh gosh! i was secondd

i dont know who she is, and after reading that i dont even care.

So that cultured culinary chick on Top Chef is just an act? Thought there was something weird about her…….

How about some soap for that mouth of hers? Can it be any more fouler?

She is trying to hard to sound american..ahahhaha…poor lady..still look as authentic as curry powder hahahh

One or two F-words are funny…but in every answer??? That wears thin real quick.

finally, someone that talks like me!

On her current living situation: “Now I’m staying in a f-ing hotel with all my s— in storage.”
***********************
Done that, been there. And it ain’t fun.

She was married to Salman Rushdie? I am f**king shocked!

Actually, that’s pretty hot.

f’kn hell that f’kn swearing is ugly.. Just joking. I do agree that it ruins the classy look of her. Guess she is normal like the rest of us after all. Sad that she was like that in an interview. I am not sure it was warranted though.

Thank you come again

classy b_tch

Number 22. No need to get all Racist and sh*t. As the Stevie Wonder would say… all haters may as well die…

Ok shes only humane ! And has the same rights, as we all do, freedom of speech. Dont you think she is getting alittle upset getting grilled about everything she is, says,or does. ect. Why cant fokes just see she is going threw some hard times now. Like people behind close doors wouldnt say the same things. Or would like to say it. So this time she got alittle off her chest. Maybe not too cool. But hay, cut her some slack. She isnt perfect . Even if she is close tobeing like a Goddess . From a guys point of view. Her carreer is just now starting to pick-up, someday , she will be a Superstar, just as she is a Supermodel. I saw her in person, and believe she a Great in the making.
