This is another of the better-known female alternates. Just as Superman has Supergirl, Batman has Batwoman. It should be noted that Batwoman and Batgirl are not the same character; they're different interpretations of the same basic role. Batwoman is a groundbreaking character; her human alter-ego is Kate Kane, and she was kicked out of the military on the grounds of being gay. As she had the mindset to protect and serve, she became a vigilante in Gotham, apparently thinking that vacancy wasn't already filled.
Batwoman's costume introduces red to the Bat-person palette and does it in style. The red accents on her outfit match perfectly with her hair, which is actually a wig attached to the outfit. It's impossible to say whether she looks better than Batman, as there have been too many Batman outfits, but we'll take this over the blue and gray look from the 1960s.
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?
