They say if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Well, in this case, the mercury is definitely rising, but the hell we're leaving.
Top Chef's hottie of a host, Padma Lakshmi, has tossed off her apron to add some sultry spice to the annual nude issue of Allure, proving that biting down on burgers indeed does a body beautiful.
"I'm a sensual-leaning woman," she tells the mag. "You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting." To which we say: Boast away!
Other sexy celebs who showed off their curves for the camera include Dollhouse siren Eliza Dushku and Chelsea Lately host Chelsea Handler…
"I'll strip down to my underwear and my Ugg boots when I eat lunch in my trailer," reveals Eliza.
"My boobs are good," Chelsea says proudly. "They're real and perky. Even if you can't see them, the important thing is that I know about them, and the guys I've slept with know about them."
