The female version of the Hulk is never going to win any prizes when it comes to original naming strategy, but this is one case where we can say we're sure that the female version of the character is better than the male one. The male version of the Hulk character can be something of a liability. Bruce Banner doesn't have much control over when and where the Hulk appears, and when he does, he's just a concentrated green Goliath of rage. He generally fights for the good side, but he can easily do as much harm as he does good.
She-Hulk is the Hulk's cousin and has the whole 'being green and angry' thing under much more control. She stays green all of the time, and when she's not being called upon to save the world, she finds time to work as a lawyer. She also gets a proper costume, instead of shredding hundreds of dollars' worth of clothing every time she gets angry. She sounds like a happier, more stable person in general.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
