Padma Lakshmi's been whipping up something special outside of the Top Chef kitchens.

The 39-year-old model, cookbook author and television host is pregnant with her first child. This is especially exciting and unexpected because of her struggle with endometriosis, a condition which often leads to infertility.

Just to add some extra sizzle, there's no word yet on who the baby daddy is.

Bravo has released some details about three new reality shows (including one we were already excited about) the network is developing.

If we can expect anything from these girls, it's drama. And they sure don't disappoint.

Bravo's hit TV show, Real Housewives of New York, is supposed to return for its third season, but plans have hit a snag. Almost the entire cast has yet to sign new contracts. The only one who did sign so far is Kelly Bensimon, the villanous newcomer. 

Bravo is so desperate to fill the void left by Project Runway’s move to Lifetime that they seem willing to put damn near anything on the air.

First the Real Housewives of New Jersey (shudder) and now they’re planning a reality show about the store Fred Segal.

Snoozefest. 

The show would reportedly focus on the "stressed out but competitive sales team as they cater to well-to-do customers."

Matthew McConaughey’s baby mama, former Victoria’s Secret model Camila Alves, has gotten a job. 

She’s been tapped to host the third season of Bravo’s Shear Genius, a show were hairdressers go scissor-to-scissor to see who’s the best in the land.

Camila is taking over for the previous host, former Charlie’s Angel star Jaclyn Smith.

After months of legal strife between Bravo and Lifetime, Project Runway is finally set to return to television this summer.

The sixth season is coming to Lifetime.

According to the network, the legal battles surrounding the show’s upcoming season, which has already been filmed, were amicably resolved.

“The Weinstein Company will pay NBCU for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. All of the parties are pleased with the outcome,” the networks say in a joint statement.

Countess Luann de Lesseps of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City is getting divorced from her Count husband.

After 16 years of marriage, Page Six reports, "she got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn't answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her."

Bravo's Real Housewives series is moving to New Jersey.

Apparently The Real Housewives of Atlanta wasn't tragically trashy enough.

We can just imagine the spray tans, leisure suits and arcylic nails waiting for us on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Yeah, we're skippin' this one.

We don't do Jersey.

The Real Housewives of New York must be cursed this season.

First Kelly Bensimon goes crazy and beats up her fiancé and now Alex McCord is joining the millions of Americans heading for the unemployment line.

Government cheese is so not New York Times Style Section material.

McCord, best known for her bizarrely co-dependent relationship with husband Simon Van Kempen, was just laid off from her visual merchandising job at Victoria’s Secret.

The latest addition to Bravo’s reality show Real Housewives of New York City knows all about drama.

Kelly Bensimon went Chris Brown on her boyfriend last week.

The 6-foot-tall, 40-year-old former model got into a fight with her boyfriend, 30-year-old Nick Stefanov, and socked him, giving him a black eye, a blood-gushing gash on his left cheek and a fat lip according to the police report.
