PADMA LAKSHMI'S NEW JEWELRY LINE: ARE YOU BUYING IT?

www - i'm sort of not. something about padma, who also co-hosts top chef - wreaks of trying way too hard. but i guess i can't hate on a woman who is capitalizing on her 35 minutes of fame. she's written a book, endorsed burgers and now her latest hustle is PADMA, a line of jewels based on food. chic report (a la fashionweekdaily.com) says seeds, lentils, and cloves are all motifs in the collection. okay.....log on to padmalakshmi.com to help her get her hu$tle on. zandile blay
