Bossy was all prepared to do an innocent post about how Top Chef host and cookbook author Padma Lakshmi is pregnant, and about how Bossy and her daughter can finally be all, “Told you!” because they have been all something is weird with Padma this season, but Bossy was interrupted from her innocent Padma pregnancy post by the following photo:
Lingerie and chinese spare ribs. Makes total sense. Because they go together, sort of like a cookbook author and a serious career. That’s OK, we’re all allowed one ill-advised photo. And then Bossy found this:
And Bossy knows what you’re thinking. You’re all, But Bossy, she was married to Salman Rushdie, she must be smart.
Speaking of ex-husbands, Padma has not yet announced the baby daddy, but Chinese food delivery man? Bossy is looking at you.

October 14, 2009 at 10:06 amI don’t know what is worse, looking like a zombie while licking cake batter off your arm, or wearing a see through copper dress in public.
Jeri says
October 14, 2009 at 10:07 amWhen I saw her in that blue satin dress with a sideways shot on the show’s commercial, I knew I saw a baby bump. She just didn’t look right. I wasn’t surprised to hear she was preggers.

October 14, 2009 at 10:09 amWell, that just sums up my life, right there. Licking chocolate batter in a white t-shirt, make up impeccable, million dollar hair. Yup. Not at all frizzy and frazzled and hot and dusty. You might find me sucking a mango but I am pretty sure it would smudge my lipstick.
Daisy says
October 14, 2009 at 10:14 amHa ha ha ha ha ha! Good stuff.

don’t you mean BETTER?!
Carrie says
October 14, 2009 at 10:15 amI’ll give it to Padma… she’s hot. The bitch.

October 14, 2009 at 11:25 amIs there some kind of ghost globe floating out of frame that she’s staring at that the rest of us can’t see?

October 14, 2009 at 11:31 amI love it when models get fat.
Just sayin’.
Little Miss Sunshine State says
October 14, 2009 at 11:43 amGood Lord. My husband walked by as I was reading this and said “Now, THAT’S how you eat ribs!!”
Reeb says
October 14, 2009 at 11:55 amShe is not smiling with her eyes. Tyra would disapprove.
Wonder what foods she’ll crave.
Martie says
October 14, 2009 at 1:31 pmAt first I was interested. Then I was hungry. Then I was just, just…Oh, man! Ewwww.
Martie says
October 14, 2009 at 1:33 pmsigh
Pamela says
October 14, 2009 at 2:09 pmYou know you’d have paid a dollar at least to be the baby daddy.
Tasha says
October 14, 2009 at 2:12 pmWow, y’all, there are some really nasty responses here. Her sex life is none of your business, and catty remarks to that effect are absolutely unnecessary.
Domestic Goddess (in training) says
October 14, 2009 at 2:15 pmAfter the cake batter foreplay, I would guess Duncan Hines beat out the delivery boy!
txsjewels says
October 14, 2009 at 2:22 pmguess tasha is a big padma fan.
of course, padma’s obviously a total hottie (and quite the little serious batter-licker, huh?) but thinking about her sleeping with salmon rushdie… makes me feel better about my sucky single life!
Lori says
October 14, 2009 at 3:31 pmThis kind of stuff makes me so sad. How can a beautiful, professional woman think that taking these kinds of pictures sends any positive message. It’s hard to explain to your daughter that beauty and brains should be enough; you don’t have to take soft porn pictures, too. Gag.
goblinbox says
October 14, 2009 at 5:35 pmIf I were young and beautiful, I would not marry ugly old guys even if they were, like, total literary geniuses. Because HELLO! If I were young and beautiful, I could totally have HOT MEN.
Pop and Ice says
October 14, 2009 at 8:34 pmMy husband was all “What?” and “What?!!!” so I had to send your link. So now Mr. Pop and Ice will be reading Bossy.
DemMom says
October 14, 2009 at 8:59 pmIs that really Salman Rushdie?
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
October 14, 2009 at 9:21 pmI think she’s expecting a babyback.
sugarpie says
October 14, 2009 at 10:04 pmIf I were young and beautiful and smart (and hungry!) I would totally dress like her and sit for these photos. Seriously, who’s exploiting who?
I think she’s absolutely in on the joke.
Happily Employed Susan says
October 14, 2009 at 10:29 pmI like Padma.
wendy says
October 14, 2009 at 10:48 pmpadma’s preggers and everyone else is emotional here! i personally hope they have loads of butt/side shots as she gets bigger and bigger this season on Top Chef.
i was kinda hoping all the seasons of food tasting got to her hips finally, but a baby can be nice, too.
Hunter says
October 15, 2009 at 8:04 amSo… uh… are these photos in her cookbook? I’m just asking because I think I could use to learn some cooking techniques. (Yeah, that’s it.)
Oh she knows exactly what she’s doing, and I don’t blame her one bit. I guess she didn’t have the talent to cure diseases, or make a bundle in high finance. So exploiting her natural talents was a nice backup. I’d do it if I could.
But the Salman Rushdie photo just depresses a guy like me out on my own. I mean, could *I* score with hotties if I stopped working out, had my hair fall out, and insulted a major religion? Just wondering…
Rebecca says
October 15, 2009 at 9:34 amShe has seemed a little cranky this season. Normally she is more upbeat. Mystery solved a mini-chef is on the way!
David says
October 15, 2009 at 12:19 pm“Chinese food delivery man?”
That is so Tales of the City.
Owengirl79 says
October 15, 2009 at 1:13 pmI think the pics are photoshopped.
I totally knew she was preggers when she was drinking water instead of wine on Top Chef!

I bet you could!

October 15, 2009 at 3:42 pmThose posts are probably what got her the Top Chef gig…

October 15, 2009 at 4:45 pmShe is a very very smart woman.
V. says
October 15, 2009 at 5:25 pmLord she’s beautiful. Wish I looked that good with food on my face.
Leah says
October 15, 2009 at 7:09 pmThank God we ARE here to judge!
Hunter says
October 15, 2009 at 7:20 pmTo Goblinbox: Thanks! Woo hoo! No more getting up at 5:30 to run or lift weights. I’m sleeping late and hitting the keyboard!
Dingo says
October 15, 2009 at 8:56 pmShe’s either in a food coma or they’ve replaced her eyes with American Doll eyes because that pic of her licking the cake batter off her hand is seriously disturbing. I expect George Romero will cast her in his next film about the consumerization (yes, it is a word, I just used it didn’t I?!) of eating.
helenel says
October 15, 2009 at 10:23 pmSo, no one has seen this? It’s been on TV here in New England, and we don’t even have that restaurant.

October 15, 2009 at 10:37 pmI am hardxxxcore craving Chinese food. My hankering is sooo bad for it that I would totez [read as: almost] let the delivery man impreggerz me for a scoop of beef & broccoli and a swallow of wanton soup!
Avitable says
October 16, 2009 at 7:53 amOh I love Padma!
foolery says
October 20, 2009 at 1:09 pmHave no idea about this woman but it appears Salman Rushdie is the true sell-out here.
Though who could blame him? Few would kick her out of bed for eating ribs.
