Padma Lakshmi Says Pregnancy Is No Reason To Pig Out
Part of Padma Lakshmi's job is to eat, as host of 'Top Chef,' but she's not using her pregnancy as a rationale to overeat.
"I eat the same, just more often. Everything from movie theater nachos to spinach and apple salad. Everything. I’m not eating so much more. You only need 300 more calories. It’s not a reason to pig out."
Padma also said that although she hasn't decided on a name for her baby, she's not going to get creative when she does.
"I just want to see how the baby looks when it comes, and then I'll have some ideas," she explained. "The name will have to do with my family. I don't think it's going to be called 'Pomegranate' or 'Atlanta.'"
Good for you, Padma, for remembering that your child will actually have to grow up with that name :)
Another thing Padma isn't doing is a whole lot of shopping.
"I'm Indian," she [said]. "So we don't buy a whole bunch of stuff before the baby is born, because we want the baby to be born first, 'Not the cart before the horse.'"
Every culture is different in how they handle the birth of a baby, but I can't imagine having to go out and buy a bunch of things with a newborn! Well, I guess it all works out in the end. Especially with the internet- LOL.
Padma also declined to identify the father of her baby. Well, I hope she has a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby!

'Top Chef' Host Padma Lakshmi Is Pregnant
'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi is expecting a baby, her rep announced to Us Magazine. This is especially surprising because of Padma's health status.
"Model, author, and Emmy-nominated Padma Lakshmi confirms that she is carrying her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis, a cause for which she has co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America," the rep tells Us of Lakshmi, 39.
"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 the press to respect Ms. Lakshmi's privacy at this time," the rep continues.
The father of the child has not been publicly identified. I hope everything goes well for Padma during her pregnancy: congratulations!

Padma Lakshmi Wants To Show You Her Funny Side
'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi is looking to branch out from her hosting duties. She signed a development deal with NBC and NBC's studio, Universal Media Studios, to develop a half-hour sitcom that Padma would star in.
[T]he show will star Lakshmi as a woman working in the culinary world. (One possible title being mulled: Single Serving."
I know some of you are wondering how hosting a show translates into being a sitcom star, but Padma has acting credits. She was in the miniseries 'The Ten Commandments,' 'The Mistress of Spices,' 'Boom,' and 'Glitter.'
Currently Padma and producers are meeting with writers to talk about ideas.
Does this sound like a show you'd be interested in watching?

Love It Or Hate It: Padma Lakshmi
This is a bonus Love It or Hate It post because you have two outfits to chose from! The gorgeous 'Top Chef' host, Padma Lakshmi, visited 'The David Letterman Show.' I suspect she wore the pantsuit inside and wore the dress on the show.
She seems to like shades of purple! What do you think of the pantsuit and the dress? Would you wear either one?
