Alejandra Lara is one of the only MMA stars to be featured on today's list that is from the South American country of Colombia. Just like Alyse, she is also 23 years old, and she was born on 4 August 1994. She is slightly taller than Alyse, at 5'7" and weighs 125 pounds (which is about 170 cm and 56 kg, respectively). Her fighting class is flyweight, which is on the medium side in terms of female body weight. Her fighting association is the Combat Training Club.
She has an amazing pro fighting record, winning 7 out of her last 8 fights (she lost the other fight, and has 0 draws). That's one of the longest winning streaks in her category. Her fans gave her the nickname "Azul." She is originally from the city of Medellin in Colombia, but spends a lot of time in the states due to her MMA schedule (although her primary residence is still in Colombia).
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?
