Top Chef
Publicist says it's a miracle, but avoids the topic of baby daddy.
Top Chef's host Padma Lakshmi has revealed that she's got a bun in the oven, but remains mum on the identity of the baby daddy.
According to her publicist who released the news to Us Weekly, the pregnancy is nothing short of a miracle. The 39-year-old TV host suffered for years from endometriosis—a condition in which one's uterus lining grows in other areas of the body, which can lead to infertility.
"As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore … Read More
Gawker wants to find Padma Lakshmi a husband.
As part of their wrap-up of the season finale of a show called Top Chef (it may be The Top Chef, we can't be sure), Gawker was dismayed at the single status of the show's lead, Padma Lakshmi. Usually we think of the writers and editors at Gawker as snark-spewing, clever gremlins, but they're really people; like you, us and Apollo Creed (yes, he is quite a character). So Joshua Stein has taken it upon his, clearly, strapping shoulders to get Padma Lakshmi married up. It's a noble goal. The hostess (with the roast-ess) has not … Read More

Padma Lakshmi has an eye for powerful, established men.
All we know is that we’re glad that Padma doesn’t have a clever, mockable catchphrase. Unless you consider, “Pack up your knives and leave,” pithy. Because if she had one of those, “don’t call us…,” or “you’re fired” lines, it would be much easier to rag on her serial dating. But the Top Chef’s top hostess doesn’t. She gets by on good looks and an even keel demeanor. Both of which are also difficult to mock. Sorry to digress, Lakshmi’s best known relationship is the one that she ended with the oft fatwa-ed Salman Rushdie. Read More

Billionaire Ted Forstmann has trained his gaze on another world-class beauty.
The financier, whose consorts have included Elizabeth Hurley and Princess Diana, has become a fast friend of model, chef and actress Padma Lakshmi.
Their mouthpieces maintain that the two are not dating. But that hasn't stopped some from noticing that Forstmann has appeared in Lakshmi's life just as her husband, author Salman Rushdie, is leaving it.
Reps say the 67-year-old tycoon and the 36-year-old host of Bravo's "Top Chef" have been meeting simply because she's become … Read More
