Padma Lakshmi is no longer the owner of a spacious, full-floor loft at 211 East 2nd Street. The author and TV hostess has turned the apartment over to what we're guessing is a personal trust, considering it was sold to something called "The Delicious Trust" for the pricely sum of $0. (Delicious, indeed!) Lakshmi purchased the loft in early 2008 for $1.65 million; in addition to spectacular views from north, west and east exposures, it also features a "wonderful windowed cook's kitchen with butternut cabinetry, basalt countertops and modern appliances." After the jump, a few photos of Padma's "delicious" loft, as well as her autograph on the official property transfer report.

Sometimes the New York Post inches over the line from "amusing" into "despicable." Okay, not sometimes—all the time. Today, in particular! Sandra Boss' husband lied to her, conned her for years, and then kidnapped their child. So Sandra should be thrown in jail, according to the Post.

Can we interest you in one of Mark Madoff's business cards? Just $4.99 plus $1 for shipping, according to this listing on EBay! We have no idea what you'd do with the business card belonging to the disgraced son of admitted fraudster Bernie Madoff, but if you already have cards from Dennis Kozlowski at Tyco and Ken Lay at Enron, you might as well add it to the collection, no? Oh, and in case you're wondering, if you call the number printed on Mark's card, you'll get an automated message that suggests "trying again later." How optimistic! You may have better luck emailing him. We didn't get a reply when we sent over a little note this morning, but it didn't bounce either, so it's possible that Mark is still online. Developing! [EBay]

• It looks like it's war between two Hamptons magazines that no one actually reads: A title called Hamptonite is now accusing Devorah Rose's Social Life of destroying copies of its debut issue last weekend. Social Life denies the accusation, although when members of the Real Housewives are involved, anything is possible, really. [P6]
• In A-Rod/Madonna news, the Yankee is still dating Kate Hudson and she's already started "following [him] around." For her part, Madonna is reportedly "livid" at Gwyneth Paltrow because she blames her for setting the two up. [P6, NYDN]
• Rihanna may finally open up about the alleged assault on her by Chris Brown: Prosecutors say they'll subpoena her to appear at a June 22 hearing to decide if there's enough evidence to move ahead with the case. [People]

Todd offered Bristol a new ride to get her to dump Levi, Spencer Pratt is the "King of Weed," Paris Hilton thinks that The Hills is "so lame and fake," Kate Hudson is traveling with the Yankees to bone A-Rod, and Susan Boyle may be institutionalized very shortly.

O'Reilly did a segment the other night on how the internet is full of pimple-faced lizard-people bloggers who go around saying mean things about everyone just because they hate life itself, and as an example he cited something someone said in a blog "post" about Sonia Sotomayor on Hotair.com, only that this person's words weren't in a blog "post," but in a blog "comment" instead, and then Michelle Malkin started shooting lasers through her eyes and O'Reilly's cock immediately moved due north, you can just tell by the stupid smirk on his face after Malkin's rant, so that means we all can expect him to continue to be a dumbass about the internet forever, just so he can get wood over Malkin's diatribes. Lucky us.

Tonight will conclude Jay Leno's seventeen year run as host of The Tonight Show. During his hosting era he has dominated the ratings for his time slot. So you'd think there'd be an outpouring of affection for him in these final days, but there doesn't seem to be any. Why?

On Thursday Microsoft unveiled Bing, its new search engine thingie. They're hoping that before long you'll forget how to "Google it" and will instead "Bing it." Unfortunately we think the name reminds us mostly of Sopranos strippers and the guy who knocked up Elizabeth Hurley. Microsoft FAIL!

The "Latino KKK" of which Tancredo speaks is LaRaza, a civil rights and advocacy group for Hispanics. It's becoming clear that, in addition to attacking Sotomayor for her love of pigs feet with chick peas, dipshit conservatives like Tancredo are planning on turning LaRaza into the ACORN of this SCOTUS nomination. This is what they do these days.

Well this is almost refreshing—-A clip from Glenn Beck's daily clownshow where the centerpiece clown is someone not named Glenn Beck. Who could it possibly be? Television's Coach Hayden Fox, naturally!

In a rather extraordinary effort to crack down on the Church of Scientology's obsessive policing of its online public image, Wikipedia has banned all IP addresses owned or affiliated with Scientology from making edits to entries on its website.

Yesterday we showed you video of Erich "Mancow" Muller, a Chicago-based right-wing shockjock, appearing as a guest on Keith Olbermann's show to discuss his being waterboarded. He claimed it led to an ideological conversion! But now a tipster has provided information that suggests the whole thing may be a hoax.

We invited 100 commenters to our roof deck last week to celebrate the season finales of Starz's new shows, Head Case and Party Down, and one of our brand new glass tables wound up in pieces. The grisly details after the jump.

Wired editors contemplated crystal meth; Paul Carr cursed out #hashtags and Kirstie Alley got into it with a paparazzo. The Twitterati felt seedy today.

• Forbes's annual list of the highest-paid models is online and poor Gisele Bundchen has taken a blow: She's only made $25 million over the past year, down from $35 million the year before. Heidi Klum and Kate Moss were both up for the year, however, so it isn't all bad news, thank goodness. [Forbes]
• Speaking of Gisele, she is not pregnant, at least according to husband Tom Brady. [Us]
• Christian Lacroix's fashion house filed for bankruptcy in Paris today. [NYT]
• Project Runway will be the same show it's always been when it finally returns to the air later this summer. [Cut]

Speaking at Google's developer's conference in San Francisco today, Sergey Brin launched some fresh nomenclature into the jargony culture of computer programmers: "Page's Law." He was trying to make a point about the speed of Google's Web apps; instead he's done co-founder Larry Page a huge favor.
