I would love to start a rumour about the luscious Padma Lakshmi and Curtis Stone hooking up, however here they are at the Live At Bravo Upfront 2011 in Los Angeles.

Curtis Stone is the new host of Top Chef Masters which is premiering in the US in April, and Padma is the host of Top Chef.

I cannot believe I am saying this but Curtis looks very nice in this photo. Has he buffed up?

Top Chef host and hottie Padma Lakshmi is being taken to court by the father of her baby Krishna.

Padma who gave birth last year at the time of her pregnancy refused to say who the father was, but later on it was revealed it was Adam Dell, brother of the Dell Computer owner.

The New York Post reveals:

Dell, 41, brother of billionaire Dell Inc. founder Michael Dell, last night filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court asking for full custody of Krishna, born last Feb. 20. Venture capitalist Dell is frustrated the “Top Chef” host, 40, has allegedly failed to respond to his pleas for more time with Krishna.

His lawyer, Bill Zabel, confirmed the filing and told us in a statement: “Adam Dell, above all else, wants to have an active and substantial role in the upbringing of his daughter with Padma Lakshmi. Unfortunately, Ms. Lakshmi has severely limited his time with their daughter and has refused to negotiate a reasonable co-parenting agreement. Mr. Dell has tried his best to avoid going to court, but Ms. Lakshmi has given him no other choice at this time.”

Sources say Lakshmi and Dell currently have an agreement which allows him to see their baby for seven hours a week. But it’s complicated by Lakshmi’s filming and travel commitments. Dell had to fly to the Bahamas this month to spend a few hours with Krishna. “He has to fit into her schedule,” the source added.

Sources close to Dell said he must deal with her lawyers and her assistant to arrange times to see Krishna. One source said, “Adam does not want to take the baby away from her. He hopes this will result in a reasonable co-parenting agreement.” Dell is also said to be seeking to be named on Krishna’s birth certificate and have her take his surname along with Lakshmi’s.

It will be interesting to see how this will pan out.

Here they are the three gorgeous stars from the Emmy award winning show Top Chef. From left Padma Lakshmi, Tom Collichio and the delightful Gail Simmons.

Today they stopped The Amazing Race from winning the Emmy for Best Reality TV Show for the eighth time. The other interesting thing is that it is has a smaller audience then the other three nominees. The Amazing Race, Dancing With The Stars, and American Idol.

Jeff Probst won best reality host.

Congratulations to Top Chef for taking out the Best Reality TV Show Emmy. This was quite a coup as The Amazing Race has won it since the award commenced.

For those who don’t know Top Chef it is a quality TV show on Arena TV which comes from the Bravo stable in New York. Up and coming chefs fight it out over three months to see who will become the Top Chef.

There is great cooking, great challenges a lot of which we are seeing on our own Masterchef Australia, and enough interaction and personalities of the contestants to keep it entertaining.

The host is the luscious Padma Lakshmi who has no problem being seen to eat food on TV and give a forthright opinion on it. Also the other co-host is the spunky Tom Collichio a renowned chef in the US. Other judges are Gail Simmons from Food and Wine Magazine, Eric Ripert an uber-chef as well as other guest judges who are leaders in their fields.

The new season set in Washington DC commences on Arena TV 7.30pm the 12 September, if you have pay TV watch it.

However it is time for a free to air channel to get the episodes or even do an Australian version of the show.

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi who gave birth to her daughter Krishna Thea Lakshmi last month has now confirmed the father of the baby. It is Adam Dell, brother of the guy who owns Dell computers. I should add Adam is successful in his own right.

I was wrong on who had fathered the child I thought it was either a sperm donor due to her endometritis issues, or a Top Chef contestant. Ok I was hoping for the latter.

Anyway for Top Chef fans the next series will be set in Washington DC.

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi normally doesn’t put a foot wrong in the fashion stakes, but maybe she is still finding her feet when it comes to maternity clothes.

With all the hype of Chelsea Handler from E channel coming to Australia and doing her show from here, I thought I would check her out. I found this old interview she did with Top Chef’s Padma Lakshmi and I found her self-depreciating sense of humour quite funny. Padma talks about her weight, that scar, and her cook book.

It appears lately you can barely open up your internet browser without seeing Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi licking a hamburger, or lolling around a flotaki rug in her birthday suit. The photo above is from Padma’s latest naked romp in Allure magazine.

Padma reveals to www.people.com that her favourite part of her body is the seven-inch scar on her forearm from a car accident at the age of 14. Something that is not showing in this photo.

“I love it because it makes me a person who has an interesting past, and it reminds me that I can survive any pain,”

Anyway I am over Padma and her lusciousness, what I want to know is when are we going to see the bear Tom Colluchio going to get his gear off? Tom the co-host and judge of Top Chef is the thinking woman’s sex symbol and also  something of a gay icon. It is time he decided to attempt to get over exposed like his co-host does so effortlessly.

Should I start a petition?

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is showing her ‘talent’ in this advertisement for Hardee’s hamburgers. She portrays her marriage to her former husband the Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie as a meeting of minds, but really in this ad she is almost bimboesque.

The boobs are nearly falling out of her dressing, she is licking everything as suggestively as Linda Lovelace once did.

I am sure Hardee’s hamburger sales will soar.
