8. Cliffs Of Moher, Ireland

8. Cliffs Of Moher, Ireland

Located in County Clare, Ireland, the Cliffs of Moher are a truly mind-blowing sight. The stunning cliffs, with their even more stunning views are Ireland's second most visited attraction, and it's no surprise why when you look at the photographs. Rising 400 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, the sandstone Cliffs of Moher are gorgeous, yet potentially fatal to tourists. Though you wouldn't expect it from such a major destination, the cliffs do not have any safety rails.

Who needs safety rails? You might be wondering. And it is all good and well for the most part. Until the notorious strong winds pick up and you're swept over the side, that is. Unpredictable rains and loose terrain also add an element of danger to wandering too close to the edge. Because of the lack of safety rails, this location is also a very popular suicide spot.

Did You Know...

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? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
