Padma Lakshmi about "All That Glitters"

Model uncovers talent for cooking India-born Padma Lakshmi eats and dresses lightly. She hopes that changes soon, and that it will change even more in April when a movie she's making now called "All That Glitters" comes out. In it, Mariah Carey plays Lakshmi's backup singer.

"My character is based on a composite of Apollonia and Vanity from the Prince days. My boyfriend is very powerful and wants to make me a star. He rounds up some girls, and she's one of the backup singers. And of course she has the golden voice."

Yes, Lakshmi sings in the film. "I sing extremely badly, on purpose." She adds: "Nobody believed that I could really sing. I finally had to hum a tune, to prove that I wasn't tone-deaf. I don't have a four-octave range like Mariah or Whitney (Houston), but I can carry a tune."
