Back in March of this year we got our first look at Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi‘s baby girl Krishna Thea, who was born the month before on February 20, and today we get to see how big the little miss has grown. Padma and Krishna were spotted out together in very colorful saris on the streets of NYC … behold:

Padma Lakshmi showed off her adorable seven-month-old daughter on the streets of New York as the former model took Krishna Thea for an outing around the Big Apple. The mother and daughter duo wore blue and pink traditional Indian saris and bindis on their foreheads as they stepped out on the autumn day. Indian-born Padma was happy to pose for photographers and little Krishna seemed to have been blessed with her mother’s natural beauty. The successful author and host of popular U.S. reality TV show Top Chef revealed in March that the father of Krishna is businessman Adam Dell. Before her ex-lover had been named as the father, Padma had kept tight lipped over who he was.

Look at how cute Krishna looks in her little pink sari. What a doll. As usual, Padma looks less than thrilled to be photographed despite what the report above suggests (and despite the fact that she started her career in front of a camera as a model before graduating to the more substantive TV cameras). Nonetheless, mother and daughter look beautiful in these new photos. We may not get to see much of Krishna out in public but when we do, it’s always a treat. So cute!!

Last night at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, CA the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out on LIVE TV in a telecast that offered some entertainment, lots of surprises and a bit of disappointment. Here are a few photos of some of the attendees of last night’s Emmy Awards as they made their grand arrivals on the red carpet:

As for the show itself, well, overall I was a bit underwhelmed by what we were given. I thought Jimmy Fallon did a fairly good job as host but much of the show was tedious and annoying. The announcer who wouldn’t shut up as the night progressed really got on my nerves. They need to get rid of him, like, seriously. I really enjoyed Jimmy‘s musical interludes and I really enjoyed the show’s Glee-themed opening number. In case you missed it or just want to watch it again, you can do so after the jump …

Last October when we learned that model and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi was pregs with her first child the identity of the father was not disclosed. In February when Padma gave birth to a baby girl she named Krishna Thea, we still didn’t know who the father is. Just about a week ago, we got our first look at little Miss Krishna and STILL we didn’t know who the father is … but today, The New York Post (by way of People magazine) puts that mystery to rest. According to the mag, the father of Krishna Thea is an investment banker dude named Adam Dell. Here is a pic of Padma with little Krishna on board out and about in NYC yesterday and the babydaddy deets from People mag:

The identity of Padma Lakshmi’s daughter has finally been revealed: Adam Dell, a venture capitalist who splits his time between Austin and New York City, fathered baby Krishna, a source confirms to PEOPLE. Though the Top Chef host announced her pregnancy October, she was mum about the father’s identity. According to the source, Lakshmi, 39, and Dell, 40, are trying to work out visitation rights with their daughter, who will be a month old March 20. Dell would like “more time and involvement with the child,” says the source. “It’s all in negotiations. They are trying to work it out. They are trying to avoid anything messy” … The baby’s father was first reported by the New York Post.

A-ha! At last the mystery has been solved. It was speculated that the babydaddy might turn out to be Laskshmi‘s ex-husband Salman Rushdie but this makes more sense. It’s unfortunate that there seems to be discord about visitation rights but I hope that things are sorted out in the best interests of the baby.

Late last month we learned that model and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi gave birth to her first child … a daughter she beautifully named Krishna Thea. Today, courtesy of People magazine, we get our first look at the precious little darling out in the world with her doting mother watching over her. Say hello to little Miss Krishna:

Meet baby Krishna! Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi just gave birth to her daughter on Feb. 20 – and already mother and daughter are hitting the town. On Thursday, the two were photographed on a New York bench. Next stop, Le Bernardin? Lakshmi, 39, has not identified her 3-week-old daughter’s father. But a friend of the TV host told PEOPLE just before Krishna’s birth that Lakshmi was ready for motherhood. “Padma is very happy. She’s wanted to be a mom for a long time. She was very relieved and happy when she got pregnant.”

Awww … aren’t these two just the cutest thing ever? I’m actually very surprised that Padma would be venturing out and about with her baby girl so soon after her birth. Padma strikes me as a very private person (who won’t even disclose the identity of her babydaddy) so I would think she’d take great pains to keep her little one under-wraps for as long as possible. Still, I’m happy that we get this first look at Krishna … her mother is such a beauty, I can only imagine how beautiful this little girl will grow to be. Welcome to the world, Krishna! I hope you enjoy a very long and very happy life :)

Congratulations are in order for Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi and her unnamed babydaddy … People magazine is reporting that Padma finally gave birth to her first child, a girl she named Krishna Thea Lakshmi, over the weekend!

Padma Lakshmi is now the happy mother of a daughter. “Model, author and Emmy-nominated host of Top Chef Padma Lakshmi gave birth to a baby girl named Krishna Thea Lakshmi on Saturday,” her rep tells PEOPLE. “Mother and baby are well and happy.” Last month, Lakshmi dropped hints about her daughter’s name, saying, “I am going to name the child an Indian name. It will be after someone in my family, so don’t expect to see an Anglicized name – it will be a classically Indian Sanskrit name.” Lakshmi, 39, announced her pregnancy in Oct. after years of struggling with endometriosis. She has not identified the baby’s father.

Since Padma is insistent on keeping the identity of the baby’s father private, I think we should all respect those wishes. I’m just absolutely thrilled that she finally popped and is now the proud mother of (undoubtedly) a beautiful baby girl. I can’t think of a prettier name for a little girl than Krishna … I love it!! Much love and congrats goes out to mother and daughter today!!!

Fashion designer turned movie director Tom Ford was joined by a gaggle of his closest friends, including his movie stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Nicholas Hoult, at The Museum of Modern Art in NYC for the NY premiere of his debut film A Single Man. Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man tells the tale of a single day in the life of a middle-aged gay Englishman who works as a college professor in Los Angeles and the drama he experiences in that one day. Thus far, the film is getting a lot of great press and if the reviews are any indication, will be a great success. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals at the premiere event and some deets about Ford‘s vision of Isherwood‘s novel:

Tom Ford has ruminated about death ever since he was a small boy growing up in Texas. It was the flip side to his early, genetic fascination with beauty. “Everything in life is bittersweet for me, because when I see something beautiful, I also see it aging, old, dead, gone,” he says. “I was very aware of mortality. I was very aware of my time on the planet.” Still today, almost every morning he awakes and wonders, “If I die tomorrow, what am I going to miss?” Ford speaks quickly and hypnotically, words rolling out with a seductive, almost aromatic intensity. Intimations of death swirl around his directorial debut, “A Single Man,” based on the Christopher Isherwood novel, which opens Friday. Set in 1962 Los Angeles, it is the lushly beautiful tale of a suicidal, gay college professor ( Colin Firth) contemplating his last day on earth in the wake of the sudden death of his longtime lover … “A Single Man” has a mesmerizing sensuousness. “Everyone keeps saying to me, ‘Everyone is so beautiful. Everything is so beautiful.’ I didn’t even notice that!” he says. “That’s just the way I see. That’s the way I think.” This said, Ford’s visual panache is put to the service of a story far from the ephemeral catwalk. “Midlife is when you get to the top of the ladder, only to realize you’ve had the ladder against the wrong wall,” he says, describing his loss of a certain identity after leaving Gucci. He sees the film as a personal reaction to the prevalent culture of more, of almost always thinking life will improve with a new job, or a new pair of shoes. Ford related to Isherwood’s theme of “the true self observing the false self going through the day,” and grafted details of his own life onto the story, including George’s obsession with ritualistic grooming. The details of his proposed suicide are based on the suicide of one of Ford’s relations, who killed himself in a sleeping bag so as not to make a mess. Then there’s the relationship between George and his former lover, played by Julianne Moore, who’s forever disappointed George is gay. “That’s my relationship with a lot of women in my life,” Ford says. “I’ve had very heterosexual periods in my life. I’m perfectly sexually attracted to women, but I fall in love with men. Unrequited love is always heartbreaking, especially on the side of the person who feels the love and it’s not returned” … “A Single Man” touches on the … seize-the-moment, life-affirming theme, though now it’s refracted in a softer, more reflective light. Three decades after he first read Isherwood’s book, “A Single Man” popped into his head again as he was driving to work one day. A film devotee since he was a kid (with passions for Kubrick, De Sica, Hitchcock and Bette Davis), he’d been thinking about making a film for some 15 years. Ford wrote the screenplay himself (although credit is shared with the writer of an earlier incarnation, David Scearce). Unlike the book, which is essentially a long interior monologue, the cinematic George is contemplating suicide, an addition made by Ford to give the film more plot. The film is frank about gay sexuality, although there are no sexual scenes, he says, because the story is about love.

I’m very excited to see this film for myself. I read the Isherwood novel in graduate school (among other Isherwood novels) and remember really loving the book. I’m not very familiar with Ford‘s film work for Gucci but I have no doubt that his fashionable eye is capable of crafting beautiful visuals to accompany the beautiful but stark tale. As I said, I’ve only read great things about this film … I’m very curious to see if the all the love being heaped upon this film measures up to the reality.

Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh and others were on hand last night at Rose Hall for the NYC premiere of their new movie Valkyrie, which tells the story of the failed assassination attempt of a few German soldiers on Adolph Hitler. Despite a barrage of negative reviews in the past few weeks, I suppose the show must go on as the film is set for premiere in theaters on December 25. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals last night:

Tom Cruise knows just what fans want for Christmas. “You want to see Hitler killed on Christmas,” the star said at the premiere of Valkyrie. In the film, opening Dec. 25, Cruise plays Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, a German army officer who plots and attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. The film is directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, X-Men). “I just set out to make the best film I could possibly make,” Cruise said. “It’s a timeless thriller. It’s man against tremendous odds.” Is Cruise anywhere near as brave as von Stauffenberg? Would he also have spoken out? “All of us would like to think we would do that,” he said. “I would like to think I would.” Cruise’s wife, Katie Holmes, who is starring in All My Sons on Broadway, didn’t walk the red carpet with the actor: “She’s inside the theater. When her play opened, I was the host. It’s teamwork.” Carice van Houten, Cruise’s on-screen wife, reminisced fondly about shooting the film. “He’s very goofy. We had dancing lessons, and we couldn’t stop laughing.” The film also stars Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson.

I’d say it’s pretty risky to open a Nazi film on Xmas day — I’m not sure too many people are gonna be in the mood to watch a movie with this sort of subject matter on such a special holiday — but you gotta give it up to Cruise and Singer for giving it a try. Unfortch, the movie cannot even deliver on the desire for the audience to see Hilter assassinated because the attempt was not successful. So basically, the plan is to try and get folks into theaters on Xmas day to watch a movie about a group of Nazis who unsuccessfully try to kill the most evil man who ever lived … yeah, sounds like fine holiday family fare to me. Personally, I might have a hard time believing Tom Cruise in a role like this so I’m not sure I’m gonna take the risk to check out this film but … there has to be a market out there for it, right? Right?

So … the Project Runway Season 5 Finale Fashion Show took place at The Tent in Bryant Park on the last day of New York Fashion Week yesterday morning which is making it difficult for those of us who wish to remain unspoiled before the finale show actually airs on TV in a few weeks. In order to do my best to not spoil anything for fans of the show who wish to remain unspoiled, I’ll keep all info that I unwittingly learned about yesterday’s show (it’s not much, since I’m trying to remain unspoiled, but there is some info I can pass along for those of you who are interested) behind the cut. Here are a few pics of the Project Runway mentor (Tim Gunn) and judges (Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia & Michael Kors) at yesterday’s show:

After the cut see a great pic of the finale judges (including the person who filled in for the celebrity guest judge who had to pull out due to a mysterious “injury”) and find out who showed at yesterday’s finale show …
