PADMA’S FOR LOOKIN’, NOT LAUGHIN’
07.20.09
Oh man, that turns me on. I just LOVE antique furniture.
“Top Chef” hostess Padma Lakshmi has signed a development deal with NBC that will reportedly make the inhumanly beautiful goddess the star of a sitcom.
Building on her “Top Chef” credentials, the show will star Lakshmi as a woman working in the culinary world. (One possible title being mulled: “Single Serving.”) …
Lakshmi’s acting credits include ABC miniseries “The Ten Commandments,” as well as the features “The Mistress of Spices” and “Boom.” She also played the singer Sylk in “Glitter.”
Oh, she played Sylk in Glitter, you say? Well if she was in Glitter then she MUST be a good actress.
Padma needs to just go back to her gig on “Top Chef Masters” (they replaced her with some Asian woman who’s merely very attractive instead of eye-searingly perfect). That’s where she belongs — not on some second-rate comedy. Don’t get me wrong, I want to wear her skin as a robe just as much as the next guy, but I don’t think she’s a gifted comedienne. She does a lot of things well, and being good-looking is most of them.

“She does a lot of things well, and being good-looking is most of them.” The rest of them are: “marrying rich and/or famous guys.”
Don’t get me wrong, I’d drink her dirty bathwater, but lets pretend I can be choosy about which tremendously attractive celebrities I bang. I think i would find it hard to get passed the whole Salman Rushdie thing. Picturing his old balls and loose skin on top of her…. gross.

Quit cheating on me Padma.I’ll forgive you this time and the next but enough is enough…
It’s a shame we’ll have to wait another 10 years for her to do Playboy when I pretty much won’t care let alone barely remember who she was.
8/19 She’s very much a part of Top Chef Vegas.
Thanks, Shawn. Edited for your pleasure.
… they replaced her with some Asian woman who’s merely very attractive …
That would be Kelly Choi, of NYCTV’s Secrets of New York “fame”. She walks around the city in tight leather clothes, which makes no sense considering the program’s semi-educational premise. And yes, I’ve watched many-a-show pantsless.
I’m with you on the skin-wearing. I got as far as a 12 inch slice down her right arm when authorities started knocking on my basement door.
I think she was only replaced on Top Chef Masters. Not the original series.
