Padma Lakshmi May Star in Food-Centric Sitcom on NBC

bug-qb-padma-burger.jpgTop Chef host Padma Lakshmi may be on television an extra half-hour every week. According to Variety, she would star in an NBC sitcom as a woman working in the culinary world. Possible title: Single Serving. Lakshmi's acting credits also include the ABC miniseries The Ten Commandments, her role as Sylk in Mariah Carey's Glitter, and her turn in a racy burger commercial.

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.

Padma, please pack your knives, and get the F#*! Off my TV!

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.
