Washington
(ANI):
Pregnant
Padma
Lakshmi
has
revealed
that
she
butters
her
growing
belly
to
ease
the
itch.
The
'Top
Chef" host
spoke
to
champion
Reebok's
line
of
Pink
Ribbon
products,
that
helps
raise
funds
to
battle
breast
cancer.
"One
thing
that
happens
when
you're
pregnant
is
that
as
your
stomach
starts
to
stretch
[and]
it
itches!
So
I
have
to
keep
my
belly
really
lubricated," People
magazine
quoted
her
as
saying.
The
model-turned-cookbook
author
continued:
"Every
morning,
there's
a
buttering
ceremony
after
I
get
out
of
the
shower.
It's
really
like
basting
a
turkey
with
body
butter."
The
39-year-old
added:
"Before,
my
housekeeper
was
helping
me
because
I
can't
bend
over
to
do
my
feet.
Now
my
mom's
here
and
she's
been
buttering
up
my
tummy."
