Sure she's hot, but unfortunately, that's not enough to keep a show going.
I give it a week.
Oh wait, she was in Glitter? How can you go wrong?

i love Padma on Top Chef, but unfortunately she is a bit monotone with her expressions...her highs and lows both come across as so chill. i'd be curious to see if she could show off a range of emotions.

Glitter does not give you acting cred!

@lisasav5: I think Erin wrote that with tongue planted in cheek. Also: Why is Glitter not celebrated in the same trashtastic way that Showgirls is? Or is it? Or is it worse than "so bad it's good"?

@Adam Glitter and Crossroads (the Britney equivalent) aren't as racy as Showgirls, thus the lesser following.

Emeril did a show for prime time can you spell B A D!

It didn't work for Emeril and unless the US broadcast laws have been amended and the woman is completely naked in the show, it's not likely to work for her.
