The theme of law and order is never far from the forefront of any political campaign - especially when it comes to the most senior political position of them all. It would be helpful if our elected leader knew a thing or two about how the law of the lands works - so who better than Judge Judy Sheindlin, who's been working with the law for her entire life?
Sheindlin is a familiar face to the American public from her many years as 'Judge Judy,' in which she adjudicates on smaller matters of civil law. That doesn't mean to say she doesn't understand the bigger picture though - she does. She's also refreshingly open minded when it comes to her politics; she's said in the past that she voted for both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, but didn't vote for anybody in 2012 as she wasn't pleased with either option. The country could use someone who would abandon party lines and just do what they thought was right for the country.
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?
