Anthony Bourdain

Last week, the food world lost a true icon when Anthony Bourdain was found dead of an apparent suicide in a hotel room in France.

He was 61 years old.

Three days after Anthony Bourdain committed suicide, the celebrity chef, author and television host's ex-wife has spoken out for the first time.

And she's done so via a photograph of Bourdain's only child, an 11-year old named Ariane.

While the world continues to come to grips with the loss of Anthony Bourdan, a key new detail regarding the celebrity chef's death has been made official.

Bourdain, of course, tragically took his own life on Friday.

The name David Leavitt might not be familiar to you, but there's a very good chance you've seen his awful attempts at humor or insight clogging up your social media feeds.

Many people first became aware of Leavitt when he famously thought the correct way to respond to news of the Manchester bombing that claimed 22 lives was to make jokes at the expense of Ariana Grande.

Asia Argento is the latest celebrity to speak out about the stunning suicide of Anthony Bourdain.

But Argento's words carry more weight than most others... because she had been dating the celebrity chef at the time of his tragic death.

This morning, the world awoke to the tragic news that Anthony Bourdain had passed away at the age of 61.

"Celebrity chef" is the descriptor that's used most often in reference to Bourdain, but it's a woefully inadequate encapsulation of a career that brought him to the farthest reaches of the globe and into the lives of millions of fans.

Stunning news out of the food world today, as beloved celebrity chef, restaurateur, and TV personality Anthony Bourdain has passed away at the age of 61.

The news was confirmed this morning by Bourdain's home network, CNN.

Anthony Bourdain - who was on to Paula Deen before the rest of the world was on to Paula Deen - has come out with some VERY harsh words for Justin Bieber.

The celebrity chef can stand for many things... but Bieber dared to disrespect a restaurant kitchen in a disgusting video from last year that's gone viral, leading Bourdain to shred the singer apart on Twitter.

Anthony Bourdain is unafraid to speak his mind.

Sometimes, the television star goes off on Paula Dean for being a hypocrite; and other times the target of his vitriol is American Airlines for delaying a flight because a passenger pooped on board.

Anthony Bourdain doesn't mince words.

The Travel Channel and Cadillac found this out first hand when the celebrity chef went off on the network for its product placement in his No Reservations series finale.
