• Yesterday, Broadway actress Pia Glenn slammed Salman Rushdie, saying her ex-boyfriend was "dysfunctional" and was still obsessed with his ex-wife, Padma Lakshmi. Today, it's Rushdie's turn to hit back. Not has he "long ago turned the page and moved on" from Lakshmi, he says, he would also like you to know that Glenn is "a large, radioactive bucket of stress," "an accomplished liar," and also happens to be "broke and unemployed." So we're guessing a reconciliation is totally out of the question here? [P6]
• Expect to see an angry video by Tricia Walsh-Smith posted to YouTube any minute now. A state appeals court rejected the rage-filled divorcée's motion to undo her pre-nup to theater mogul Philip Smith yesterday. [P6]
• A California teenager has been charged with burglarizing Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge's homes and making off with $170,000. [People, NYDN]
• Is Ali Wise's PR career over now that four women have accused her of voicemail hacking? That's what the Post suggests today, with a source telling the paper that "Wise is now radioactive in the industry." Then again, if there's anything we can learn from Lizzie Grubman's not-so-pretty past, it's that people who work in PR tend to be a very forgiving bunch. [NYP] More

Tricia Finds a New Enemy | Your favorite Internet nut job, Tricia Walsh-Smith, is back. And she's finally moved on from complaining about her ex-husband, theater exec Philip Smith. Her latest target: Google/YouTube, since she's convinced the company has been conspiring against her by burying her search results and tampering with her videos, particularly outrageous behavior considering she's the one who made YouTube so popular in the first place! The clip is above.

Tricia Walsh-Smith Will Take Your Mind Off Your Troubles | Tricia Walsh-Smith's 15 minutes were up many moons ago. And yet we still can't help but watch the clips the spurned divorcée sends our way, which may be because if given the choice between another angry hearing about how a financial conglomerate managed to hoodwink taxpayers and video of a half-drunk, fortysomething British woman prancing around a pool in a bikini, we'll go for the latter any day. Tricia's latest (and possibly greatest) is above in the event you're in need of a little laugh today.

Tricia Returns to the Web, Leather Whip in Hand

Just as she promised us this morning, Tricia Walsh-Smith has posted her new "music video" to the Web. And if you ever wondered what the embitttered, batty Internet sensation looks like dressed up like a dominatrix, dangling from the ceiling, and/or bouncing up and down on a leopard-print bed, well, consider this your lucky day. The video of "I'm Going Bonkers" is below.More

Tricia Walsh-Smith Speaks
Remember Tricia Walsh-Smith, the former wife of theater mogul Philip Smith, and the woman who became an internet sensation when she took to YouTube to recount her messy divorce and her former husband's fondness for Viagra and porn movies? Tricia came to mind when we read the news last night that Philip Smith was named the new chairman of the Shubert Organization, "perhaps the single most powerful position in the theatrical world." The promotion suggests the tabloid frenzy earlier this year didn't put much of a dent in Smith's professional rep, something he was clearly concerned about when the couple appeared in court this summer. (The judge said Tricia's YouTube videos represented "a calculated and callous campaign to embarrass and humiliate her husband.") But we thought we'd check in with Tricia and gather her thoughts on her ex-husband's big promotion. Here's what she had to say via email a few moments ago.More

Tricia Walsh-Smith Has Found a New Foe!
Finally, Tricia Walsh-Smith has someone new to be angry at besides her soon-to-be ex Philip Smith. She's now battling the woman who filmed her first YouTube video, Mary Allen. You see, Mary claims she directed the masterpiece, while Tricia claims she was just "a hire." And where else would these two women duke it out than on YouTube? Mary has posted a "director's cut" trailer—we can only hope the full length version is on its way—while Tricia has responded with a three-minute rant filmed inside a dingy hallway. (Does this mean Philip finally got her out of his Park Ave pad?) Both women are completely nuts, which makes this so much more fun to watch. Both videos after the jump!More
