Truth be told, we could probably be very happy never hearing another word about Quentin Tarantino's Scandinavian talent searches or attempts to Trick daytime talk shows into helping him take his foot fetish mainstream. But because Page Six turned what must have been a harmless publicist tip about the motormouth auteteur's presence at an obscure Spike TV awards show into a queasy-making anecdote about his personal life, we have no choice but to pass it along:

QUENTIN Tarantino has a new babe. The director was joined at the hip with a "hot young Asian woman" at the Spike TV Scream Awards at the Pantages Theater in L.A. on Saturday. At the after-party at the Hollywood Roosevelt, the woman "tripped and fell flat on her face." She later sucked Tarantino's fingers while he ate sliders - "Gross," said our spy.

It's not hard to understand why Page Six's "spy" found the scene a little unsavory; if the poor, stumbling companion (pictured, we assume) is going to go through the trouble of demonstrating her attraction to her high-profile date with a public display of digit-swallowing affection, the least Tarantino could do is put down his mini-burgers long enough to appreciate the finger-pampering.
