I actually watch Top Chef quite a bit, not because I’m into food, but because Padma Lakshmi is so hot I’d sit through a show about French mimes if she was the host. Here she is out the other night in her sexy little shorts showing off her delicious long legs.

She recently revealed he?s the father of her baby and now Adam Dell is hot on the trail of Padma Lakshmi.
The ?Top Chef? cutie gave birth to her daughter Krishna back in February and isn?t interested in reconciling with her babydaddy.
A source told press, "Her relationship with Dell was nothing more than an on-again, off-again fling. She moved on months ago," the source says. "The only role he will have in her life going forward is as the biological father of her child. She wants nothing more to do with him."
However, a source close to Dell says he?s not trying to hook up with Padma. Rather he is ?seeking more liberal visitation rights with his child."

People Magazine has just confirmed that Padma Lakshmi?s mystery baby-daddy is? Adam Dell (photos here). Padma gave birth to her daughter Krishna back in February, and Padma had seriously kept the baby-daddy a secret for months and months. She hasn?t even really confirmed it at this point, but since People is reporting it, I?m going with it. Adam Dell is shockingly not an old dude, not weird and not somehow insanely inappropriate for Padma, so I have no idea why she was so hellbent on keeping his identity a secret. Dell is a 39 years old venture capitalist and brother of Michael Dell, of Dell Computers (CB wants me to mention that Dell Computers SUCK ASS). Anyway, now that we know the baby-daddy, there?s a new layer of drama:
The identity of Padma Lakshmi’s daughter has finally been revealed: Adam Dell, a venture capitalist who splits his time between Austin and New York City, fathered baby Krishna, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
Though the Top Chef host announced her pregnancy in October, she was mum about the father’s identity.
According to the source, Lakshmi, 39, and Dell, 40, are trying to work out visitation rights with their daughter, who will be a month old March 20. Dell would like “more time and involvement with the child,” says the source. “It’s all in negotiations. They are trying to work it out. They are trying to avoid anything messy.”
Lakshmi, meanwhile, has been spotted recently with Krishna. On March 11, the two were photographed together on a New York City bench.
The baby’s father was first reported by the New York Post.

Yes, People is quoting from yesterday?s Page Six. Here?s the original piece:
Adam Dell is a proud papa with photographs of his daughter, Krishna, all over his house in Austin, Texas — and he wants a larger role in his child’s life. The venture capitalist is said to be negotiating with Padma Lakshmi for visitation rights, weekends and vacations with the little girl.
A source said Dell told guests at a barbecue at his home “how excited he was to raise her, but that Padma wasn’t being entirely accommodating.”
A friend of Lakshmi snips back, “An agreement was made with the biological father that was very fair. It’s unfortunate if anything inappropriate is being said.” Her rep could not be reached. Dell’s spokes man, Howard Rubenstein, had no comment.

Oh, drama! I wonder what the hell happened between Padma and Adam that she?s all ?not without my daughter?. It sounds like Adam really wants to be involved, and he sounds like a pretty decent guy. But I don?t know the backstory. Padma and Adam don?t seem to be together, and they haven?t been together for a while, I guess. Maybe he dumped her when she got pregnant? But that doesn?t make sense either, because I was under the impression that she was very open about wanting to get pregnant and really trying for it for a while. Eh. I give up.

Padma Lakshmi has given birth to a baby girl. Us Weekly?s sources claim that Padma named her daughter Krishna, which is traditionally a boy?s name in India, but whatever. My name is traditionally a boy?s name in India too. According to reports, mother and child are doing well, which is wonderful. Padma was very open about her pregnancy once she announced it last October, and she spoke about how it was a ?miracle? that she got pregnant. In fact, Padma was open about everything except for the mystery of the baby-daddy.
Padma Lakshmi has welcomed a baby girl, her rep tells UsMagazine.com.
The girl was born late Saturday in New York City, the rep adds.
A source tells Us the girl’s name is Krishna. The Top Chef star, 39, has not revealed the baby’s father.
UsMagazine.com first broke news that Lakshmi was expecting last October. The pregnancy was considered “a medical miracle,” her rep told Us, because Lakshmi has struggled with endometriosis, a painful uterine condition that can lead to infertility.
“I actually can’t button my jeans anymore,” Lakshmi joked to Us last fall when asked how her pregnancy was going. “Up until about a week ago, I could. There’s just too much pressure, so I’ve had to put them away for now.”
During her pregnancy, Lakshmi said she hadn’t “really had any cravings. There was about a week-and-a- half when I was really craving a cinnamon donut. Then I had the cinnamon donut, and it was like, ‘Eh.’ I mean, it was OK, but that was it. And then it was over.”

Congratulations to Padma and baby Krishna. It?s nice that Padma got a happy ending and carried her baby to term despite her health concerns. Padma really grew on me during her pregnancy, and I?m sure little Krishna will end up a major foodie like her mom!

Celebrating the miracle of birth, Padma Lakshmi welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world late Saturday night (February 20).
The “Top Chef” chick gave birth in New York City and has named her daughter Krishna, though she won’t reveal who the baby’s father is.
Padma is extra excited about motherhood given the fact that she has struggled with endometriosis, a condition that can render a person infertile.
This past fall, Miss Lakshmi told press about her pregnant body changes. “I actually can’t button my jeans anymore. Up until about a week ago, I could. There’s just too much pressure, so I’ve had to put them away for now.”

Continuing to work as she reaches the latter stages of her pregnancy, Padma Lakshmi was out at The Times Center in New York City on Saturday (January 9).
Joined by “Top Chef” pals Eric Ripert, Frank Bruni and Gail Simmons, the group was on-hand for the 9th Annual New York Times Arts & Leisure Weekend.
Meanwhile, Padma recently paid a visit to the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show - during which she seemingly revealed that she’s having a baby girl.
Catching herself as she spoke, the 39-year-old Indian American cookbook author said, “She was kicking…uh…..he was kicking….I’m not saying which one……I use she and he intermittently!”

This is Padma Lakshmi?s sexy cover shot for the winter issue of Page Six Magazine. I think she looks amazing here, and I love that she?s showing some skin, but in a cool, interesting way - but I?m pretty sure they made her skin look darker, yes? I?m sure they just wanted some sexy, faux-gritty lighting to make Padma look extra exotic, but the result is that her skin looks about two shades darker than normal. The complete interview hasn?t been released yet, but there are some interesting excerpts floating around. Unfortunately, 39-year-old Padma?s still not telling who her baby-daddy is (cough cough Jude Law cough), but she is still very open with talking about the changes in her diet and her body:
Padma on being naked: “I like me better naked. I don’t mean that in a vain way . . . When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don’t have any clothes on, it’s just you, raw, and you can’t hide.”
On her pregnancy weight gain: “One of the reasons I think I’ve gained weight pretty quickly during my pregnancy is that I’m not exercising as much as I do normally … I can’t. I’m feeling tired, and I have this business to run.?
On aging: “You hope that with age, what you pay for in gravity, you gain in gravitas. I’m sure my thighs looked better when I was 25, but I think my mind is better today.”
On being a celebrity: ?I went to a bar mitzvah on the Upper East Side last year, and not to toot my own horn, but I might as well have been Michael Jackson to these 13-year-old boys and girls. There were something like 30 children around me, and they were all practically hyperventilating. I had this swarm of little kids going, ?Oh, my god! Oh, my god!? Kids are so authentic, so pure, and they?d be telling me, ?My sister and I had an amuse-bouche contest, and we need you to tell us who should have won.? I think that?s really cool.?
On her divorce from Salman Rushdie: “I [have been] reconstructing my life and putting it back together in a way that looked more appropriate to who I was. At this point in my career, I’m still growing. Jewels, spices and teas ? I sound like Magellan.”
[From assorted sources - People, Page Six and I?m Not Obsessed]
Padma is growing on me more and more. I used to not care for her in the least, but I?ve begun to watch Top Chef and I?ve started to read her interviews, and she comes across as a refreshingly professional, self-aware, intelligent woman. She?s not girlish or silly or playing dumb, which I appreciate. She?s a real woman, and there aren?t enough real women on television. Oh, but she was absolutely horrible on 30 Rock. That woman cannot act for sh-t, not even when she?s playing a version of herself. That was embarrassing. So, Padma, just stick to Top Chef and writing and giving interviews - those are your strong points.

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Padma Lakshmi was spotted paying a visit to “Live with Regis and Kelly” this morning (October 9).
The preggers “Top Chef” babe looked lovely as she made her exit from ABC Studios in New York City, sporting a loose-fitting purple dress to minimize her baby bump.
But try as she may, Padma says she’s beginning to experience the effects of a growing midsection, especially when it comes to getting dressed.
She told press, “I actually can’t button my jeans anymore. Up until about a week ago, I could. There’s just too much pressure, so I’ve had to put them away for now.”
