Oh Bossy’s Gah, No Way

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.

   I 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.

   When 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.

   Well, 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.

    Wow, 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.

    guess 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!

    This 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.

    If 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.

    padma’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.

    So… 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…

    She has seemed a little cranky this season. Normally she is more upbeat. Mystery solved a mini-chef is on the way!

    I totally knew she was preggers when she was drinking water instead of wine on Top Chef!

    She’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.

    Have 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.
