We had to counter our grossest pic of the day with the cutest pic. "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi and her four-month-old daughter Krishna boarded a chopper at a downtown heliport in New York City over the weekend. We're glad to see she's protecting her baby's ears!

The Indian-born model, actress and TV chef, who divorced Salman Rushdie in 2007, has never revealed the identity of her baby's father.

Padma branded the pregnancy a "medical miracle" after years of struggling with endometriosis, in which the lining of the uterus grows in other areas of the body.
