Padma Lakshmi must hate vegetarians.
The 38-year-old Top Chef host stars in a new commercial for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, and if there's such a thing as burger porn, this is it.
Lakshmi doesn't just eat a Carl's Jr.'s Western Bacon Cheeseburger. She devours it ravenously. She makes love to it with her teeth. Then she hikes up her skirt and licks the running grease and ketchup off of her palm.
As she explains in her 2007 cookbook, Tangy, Tart, How and Sweet, the Western Bacon Cheeseburger has been a passionate subject for Lakshmi since she was a teen.
"The sublimely pleasurable taste of bacon…was further enhanced by its mingling with the barbeque sauce, greedily licked off as it dripped down my teenage fingers," Lakshmi wrote.
Whew—who's mouth isn't watering right about now?
That is probably the luckiest burger ever.

HOT DAMM BIKINI AT 48!!!!! VALERIE BERTINELLI
The beloved Valerie Bertinelli (c'mon, One Day at a Time, Eddie Van Halen's ex, TV movie queen?) is celebrating her new, dramatically slimmer figure by donning a bikini for the first time since she was 20 for People.
Bertinelli is the spokesperson for weight-loss program Jenny Craig, and attributes her new body to the program and intense physical training.
Before she began Jenny, Bertinelli weight 172 pounds. She was able to slim down to 132 and then hired a physical trainer to help with the rest.
And she also dropped her regular "splurge" glass of champagne. That's sacrifice.
"I never, ever, ever had deltoids!” she says. "Oh my God, when I'm doing exercises and I see them pop out, I'm like, Yes!"
When People asked her to pose in the skimpy two-piece, she had a temporary case of the jitters.
"I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?" she admits."What am I so afraid of? Come on—it's just a bathing suit!"
Not on you, Valerie.
Have your say in the comments section: What do you think of Valerie Bertinelli's new bikini body?

A RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN SEX TAPE????????
Rumor has it that ex-love birds, Chris Brown and Rihanna, made a sex tape and it is about to leak:
US publication Star Magazine has heaped further misery on the stunning R&B star by claiming she fears her estranged boyfriend CHRIS BROWN could release a steamy home video the couple allegedly made together. A source who approached the magazine said: “They’ve had tons of crazy nights in bed, and Chris has recorded many of them…They both have very kinky sides.” It’s also claimed that Rihanna enjoys role-playing and dressing up as a dominatrix and that she is allegedly worried Chris could put the footage out there for the world to see. The source went on to say: “Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality. But she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out! “This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She’s already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible.“The last thing in the world Rihanna wants is to see herself in the sex videos all over the Internet! She’s an intensely private person.” Brown, who’s kept a low profile since their alleged fight, was seen yesterday seen at an airport in Richmond, Virginia, riding a BMX around his luggage on the runway.

Will She Ever Learn??Rihanna Wants Right to Remain Silent … in Court
Sources connected with Chris Brown and Rihanna tell TMZ Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, wants the judge to give Rihanna a pass from testifying because of leaks in the case.
We’re told Geragos and Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra, believe Rihanna was compromised when her name surfaced as the alleged victim in the beating. They claim this and other leaks violate her privacy rights and therefore she should not have to further put herself out to the public by testifying against Brown in the case.
It’s further proof Rihanna and Brown are back together and in lockstep.
Geragos asked to meet with the judge in chambers, along with the prosecutors, on March 23 to discuss letting Rihanna off the hook. Brown’s arraignment is set for April 6.

OH!!! SH#T Tanning bed bursts into flames; man escapes
LAKE WYLIE, S.C. -- A man escaped from a tanning bed as it burst into flames, sparking a fire that evacuated a Lake Wylie shopping center and damaged several stores Monday, authorities said.
No one, including the man in the bed, was hurt. But several stores in the Bethel Commons strip mall off S.C. 274 and S.C. 49 suffered smoke damage that will likely keep them closed most of the week, said Bethel Fire Chief Don Love.
Authorities are investigating what ignited the bed at Ultratan.
The man who escaped declined to give his name but said he was working on his tan when he heard a popping noise, then saw a flame at the corner of the tanning bed near his foot. He threw open the lid and jumped out, he said.
When firefighters arrived around 4:15 p.m. "smoke was pouring out of all sides of the building," said Bethel Assistant Fire Chief David Long. By 5:30 p.m. the fire was out and smoke cleared.
Rihanna raged after Chris Brown received booty call text message from manager Tina Davis
The mystery woman who texted R&B singer Chris Brown the night police say he beat Rihanna has been revealed.
And she's twice his age.
Brown's manager Tina Davis, 40, left a lengthy text message on the 19-year-old's phone which set Rihanna off, TMZ.com reports.
Brown and Davis are rumored to have had a relationship when the "Run It" singer was 16 - allegations that both have denied.
A source tells The Daily News that the text message was about hooking up later at the London hotel.
A detective's affidavit notes that the message came "from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."
An industry source previously described the text to The News as a "booty call."
"Rihanna saw it and she got upset," the insider said. "They started to argue. She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her. She pulled away. That's when she's told people he hit her."
Davis could not be reached for comment.
Brown was charged on March 5 with battering his 21-year-old girlfriend just before the Grammy Awards.
He is due to be arraigned on April 6.

M.I.A.: Don't Call My Baby 'Ickitt'
To those Internet reports claiming M.I.A. named her 3-week-old boy Ickitt, the rapper responds: Ick!
In a humorous message on her MySpace Celebrity Blog, the "Paper Planes" songstress shot down the rumors while poking fun at a few of the more unique names bestowed upon certain celebrity kids.
"MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH, " she writes. "HES A BABY, HE DONT NEED PRESS!"
Explaining that she doesn't consider her son's name to be newsworthy information, M.I.A., 31, says she'll be back with something for her fans soon. "TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT," she suggests.
Her son, born Feb. 11, is the first child for M.I.A., whose given name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, and her musician fiancé, Benjamin Bronfman.
Memorably performing while pregnant at the Grammys last month, M.I.A. was also nominated for an Oscar for her song "O Saya," from Best Picture Slumdog Millionaire.

Keith Olbermann, Ann Coulter Battle Over Cornell Alumni Status
Ann Coulter and Keith Olbermann are engaged in a bizarre but real feud over their alma mater, Cornell University.
Earlier this week, Coulter wrote a column trashing Olbermann and alleging that he didn’t attend “the real Cornell” because he went to one of the University’s state schools, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (known as the Ag School).
Coulter wrote that Olbermann “is constantly lying about his nonexistent ‘Ivy League’ education” despite the fact that he “didn’t go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.”
Olbermann responded on “Countdown” Thursday night, naming Coulter one of his Worst Persons in the World and displaying his Cornell degree for all to see. He also corrected the record on the acceptance rate disparity (there is none, he reports), and boasts that he paid much less for the same education as Coulter by attending the Ag School.

HO!!!!! SIT DOWN!!!!
She should take the flying leap. How stupid is this woman? And who votes for her? Bachmann from ding-bat land. Her party made the banks socialized or maybe, just maybe she (shhhhhh) doesn't know the meaning of socialism. Is Ms. B. a product of home schooling?
In an interview with conservative host Bill Bennett Thursday, nutty Minnesota Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann warned that President Obama is taking the country down a dark path -- but there's still time to save ourselves.
"If you look at FDR, LBJ, and Barack Obama, this is really the final leap to socialism," she said. "But we all know that we could turn this around and we can turn this around fairly quickly. We're still a free country."
"And as the Democrats are about to institutionalize cartels -- that's what they're very good at -- they're trying to consolidate power," she continued, "so we need to do everything we can to thwart them at every turn to make sure that they aren't able to, for all time, secure a power base that for all time can never be defeated."
Bachmann isn't the only GOP congressperson who thinks Obama is dragging the country into socialism (although she may be the only one to link the effort to an endless Democratic Party conspiracy). Of Obama's health care plan, Rep. Zach Wamp of Tennessee said Thursday on MSNBC: "It's probably the next major step towards socialism. I hate to sound so harsh, but.... this literally is a fast march towards socialism, where the government is bigger than the private sector in our country and health care's the next major step, so we oughta all be worried about it."
"D.L. Hughley Breaks The News" Canceled On CNN
MMMM does this has anything to do with Rapper MC STEELE!!
Comedian D.L. Hughley was pummeled by critics when his weekend talk show debuted on CNN last fall.
Here's an official statement from a rep from CNN, who tells us that it was Hughley's decision to end the show and not specifically related to budget issues:
"D.L. approached CNN about being permanently based in Los Angeles, where his family lives. To accommodate this, we agreed upon a new role where he will be a contributor for the network based in Los Angeles. We are eager to continue our relationship with D.L. who is a tremendous talent and a valued colleague
CHRIS BROWN NO PLEA YET!!!!
Chris Brown and his attorney Mark Geragos did not enter a plea to the two felony charges. The judge granted Brown’s request for a continuance to April 6th.
CHRIS BROWN UPDATE:
LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown has been charged with two felonies stemming from what a police detective describes as a brutal argument between the singer and his girlfriend, Rihanna, provoked by her discovery of a text message from another woman.
Brown is expected to be arraigned Thursday afternoon on charges of assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats. The 19-year-old R&B singer remains free on $50,000 bail.
The felony complaint handed down in court Thursday morning identifies Brown's alleged victim only as "Robyn F." Rihanna's real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
If convicted, the possible sentence ranges anywhere from probation to four years and eight months in state prison, said district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.
According to a detective's affidavit, Brown and Rihanna got into a fight early Feb. 8 after the "Umbrella" singer checked her boyfriend's cell phone and found a text message from another woman.
Brown pulled his car over and tried to push Rihanna out, but she was still wearing her seatbelt, Los Angeles police Detective De Shon Andrews wrote. He said Brown pushed Rihanna's head against the window, punched her with his right hand, and then continued driving while hitting her, the affidavit states. He also bit his girlfriend on the ear, the affidavit states.
The affidavit was filed as part of a search warrant request for the phone records of Brown, Rihanna and her assistant.
Brown allegedly threatened to kill Rihanna after she pretended to leave a phone message with her assistant, telling her to have the police waiting at her house.

Andrews described Brown's blows as causing Rihanna's mouth to fill with blood. He also writes that Brown tried to choke Rihanna after she took the keys to his car away. Andrews wrote that Rihanna nearly lost consciousness but also tried to fight back while in the car, at one point trying to gouge at Brown's eyes.
Brown was arrested hours later and booked him on suspicion of making criminal threats. Police said at the time a woman identified Brown as her attacker during an early morning dispute in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood.
A phone message left for Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, was not immediately returned Thursday. Brown's publicist Tony Knight said any statement would likely come from Geragos after today's hearing.
Rihanna's spokesperson had no comment on the charges filed against Brown.
Brown issued a statement a week after the incident saying that he was "sorry and saddened" about the incident. Rihanna also later issued a statement, saying she wouldn't comment on the alleged beating at the request of authorities. She thanked fans for their support.
Brown's arrest has seriously damaged the "Run It!" singer's squeaky-clean image, and compelled sponsors to drop him or not renew his deals.
The alleged attack also came hours before the couple were scheduled to appear and perform at the Grammy Awards. Both were no-shows for event.

15 yr Old Discusses Police Beating
This morning Julie Chen, of CBS' "The Early Show," interviewed Malika Calhoun about the shocking video showing her being beaten by Sheriff's Deputy Paul Schene in a jail cell in Seattle. Malika, who was initially arrested for auto theft, kicked her shoe at the deputy in a manner that does not appear to be very threatening before the deputy rushes in and kicks the teenage girl, slamming her to the floor and striking her and pulling her hair.
Deputy Schene has pleaded not guilty to assault charges. According to Chen, the deputies claim the girl was "real lippy" and called them "fat pigs." Malika says the deputies had attitude and were being rude to her, which is why she kicked off her shoe at the deputy, which does not appear to actually hit him. The deputy told her this was assaulting a police officer, and then charged in and began beating her.

WHEN WILL THIS DUDE EVERY LEARN HE IS NO OBAMA, AND THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT LIKE THE MINORITY, AND STEELE IS JUST A FRONT BOY!!! AND WE ARE NOT BUYING WHAT STEELE IS TRYING TO SELL US!! HE GETS T4R SELLOUT OF THE DECADE AWARAD!!
(sorry boss didn't mean to plow yo field)pathetic
UPDATE - 6:20PM ET: Michael Steele has apologized to Rush Limbaugh for referring to him as an "entertainer" who can be "ugly" and "incendiary," Mike Allen reports.
"My intent was not to go after Rush - I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh," Steele said. "I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. ... There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership."
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele took umbrage Saturday night when CNN's D.L. Hughley referred to radio host Rush Limbaugh as "the de facto leader of the Republican party."
"No he's not. I'm the de facto leader of the Republican party," Steele said. The RNC chief went on to call Limbaugh, who that very day delivered the keynote address to the Conservative Political Action Conference, a mere "entertainer" whose show is "incendiary" and "ugly."
On his radio show today, Limbaugh fired back, calling the RNC and Michael Steele "so-called Republicans" and saying that they "need a little leadership."
"So I am an entertainer and I have 20 million listeners because of my great song and dance routine," Limbaugh said. "Michael Steele, you are head of the Republican National Committee. You are not head of the Republican party. Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the Republican National Committee...and when you call them asking for money, they hang up on you."
"I hope that changes," Limbaugh continued. "It's time, Mr. Steele, for you to go behind the scenes and start doing the work that you were elected to do instead of being some talking-head media star."
UPDATE: Rush continued firing shots at Steele later in the show.
"I'm not in charge of the Republican Party, and I don't want to be," he said. "I would be embarrassed to say that I'm in charge of the Republican Party in a sad-sack state that it's in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it's in, I would quit."
Rush then mocked those who have criticized him for saying he wants Obama to fail, and directly challenged them to choose: You either want Obama to succeed or fail at his goal of dismantling conservatism.
"So send those fundraising requests out," Rush said in a sneering tone, in an apparent reference to Steele, adding: "Make sure you say, `We want Obama to succeed.' So people understand your compassion."

And it gets better. Another person close to the case told MediaTakeOut.com that Chris Brown and prosecutors are EXTREMELY close to a plea deal. According to that insider, Chris would plead “no contest” to misdemeanor domestic battery and receive NO JAIL TIME.
The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, “I expect the deal to be announced this week – before Chris’ court date” The tipster continued, “This deal is a present to the prosecutors … The case is over – if Chris [Brown] took it to trial – he’d be acquitted. [The prosecutor’s] are going to accept any deal they can get.”

OH SNAP!!! Girl, 9, to abort twins
A NINE-year-old girl pregnant after years of alleged sexual abuse by her stepfather is likely to abort twins she is carrying in a case that has shocked Brazil, reports in Sao Paulo said.
The Brazilian girl, who was not identified because she is a minor, was found to be four months pregnant after being taken to hospital suffering stomach pains, the news websites G1, pe360graus and the Diario de Pernambuco reported.
She was being cared for by a medical and psychological team in the Maternal-Child Institude in the northern city of Recife, close to her hometown of Alagoinha in Pernambuco state, they said.
"We don't know if she will develop the pregnancy up to the end because of the structure of her body. It is a big risk for her,'' the doctor who confirmed her pregnancy before she was taken to the institute, Jose Severiano Cavalcanti, told the Diario de Pernambuco.
"She doesn't have a pelvis able to support a gestation of twins,'' he said.
Abortion is illegal in Brazil except in cases of rape or if the woman's health is in danger.
The institute in Recife was unable to immediately confirm information about the case.
According to police accounts reported in the media, the 23-year-old stepfather was believed to have abused the girl since she was aged six, paying her one Brazilian real (about 77 Australian cents) for each sexual relation.
He also allegedly abused the girl's physically handicapped 14-year-old sister.
He was arrested on Thursday as he attempted to flee to another region in Brazil, and was being kept in protective custody.

Deputy, Caught On Tape Punching, Kicking 15-Year-Old Girl
Tell us what you think!
SEATTLE-A King County sheriff's deputy kicks a 15-year-old girl, slams her to the floor of a jail cell, strikes her and pulls her hair in violence captured on videotape.
Prosecutors released the surveillance video in Friday in the assault case against Deputy Paul Schene, who is accused of using excessive force on the girl.
The footage shows the attack beginning after the girl enters the cell at suburban SeaTac City Hall and kicks off one of her shoes toward the deputy.
The incident last November began after the girl was brought in for an auto theft investigation, according to court documents.
"We believe this case is beyond just police misconduct, it's criminal misconduct," King County Prosecutor Daniel Satterberg said. "This is clearly excessive force."
Satterberg added the case is uncommon because cameras captured the entire incident.
In the video, a deputy kicks the girl, pushing her back toward the wall. The deputy then strongly backs the girl against the wall, and slams her to the floor by grabbing her hair. A second deputy enters the holding cell, while the first deputy holds the girl face down to the floor. The first deputy appears to hit the girl with his hands. The girl is then lifted up and led out of the cell while the first deputy holds her hair.
The second officer shown in the video was a trainee at the time and is not under investigation, Goodhew said.
According to court documents, the girl complained of breathing problems after the incident and medics were called to check her. A short time later, she was taken to a youth detention center and booked for investigation of auto theft and third-degree assault, the latter accusation dealing with her conduct toward the deputy. The girl has pleaded not guilty to taking a motor vehicle without permission, Goodhew said Friday, adding she was never formally charged with assault.
Schene told investigators through an e-mail conversation with his lawyer that once he was assaulted by the girl kicking her shoe at him, he entered the cell to "prevent another assault," according to court documents. Schene also said that the girl failed to comply with instructions in the holding area.
Prosecutors said Schene did not explain why he struck the girl after he had her in a holding position on the floor.

THE COOLEST PRESIDENT THATS HUMAN!!
One perk of being President? Courtside seats to see your favorite team play – even when they lose.
President Obama and Chicago pal Marty Nesbitt joined fans Friday at Washington, D.C.'s Verizon Center to cheer on their beloved Bulls, who were ultimately defeated by the Washington Wizards, 113-90.
Obama's appearance at the arena – the first by a President for an NBA match in nearly a decade – did not go without notice. His arrival delayed the tipoff by a few minutes, according to the Associated Press.
And his presence offered a challenge to the home team. As the Wizards' small forward Caron Butler told the AP: "He truly is a die-hard Bulls fan. Hopefully we can convert him a little bit."
