Padma Lakshmi of 'Top Chef' and Chelsea Handler of E! get naked

"Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi was one of the many celebrities to bare all for Allure's May issue, and in the accompanying interview, the model-turned-chef served up a dose of female body confidence along with her hot naked body.

"I actually think I look better when I have a little bit of weight on," Lakshmi told the mag, no doubt in her signature drawl; "my breasts are fuller, and I'm curvier than when I'm at my thinnest."

Lakshmi even said she prefers her body today to the body she had in her 20s, thanks to her newfound confidence. "I don't want to look like anyone but myself," she told the mag. A lot of other women don't want to look like anybody but you either, Padma.

Comedian Chelsea Handler -- host of E!'s "Chelsea Lately" -- also bared all for the magazine, and seemed bafflingly casual about the whole experience. When asked about her decision to pose nude, Handler replied, "I like being naked, and I like Allure, so I figured, 'Why not?'"

 Handler called the shoot "easy" adding, "you're naked a couple times a day, so I think it would be easy for most women." Wow. I'll have what she's having.

The irreverent comedian also gushed about her favorite feature -- well, her two favorite features -- saying, "My boobs are good. They're real and perky. Even if you can't see them, the important thing is that I know about them, and the guys I've slept with know about them."

Eliza Dushku, Lynn Collins and Sharon Leal also took it off for the issue.
