Like Carrie Underwood, Kim Kardashian seems to have tried to rid the world of the original copies of her prom night pictures. All we're left with is this badly-scanned black and white memento of her big night. We know what you're thinking as you're looking at this, but we can tell you with certainty that yes, that really is reality television superstar Kim Kardashian.
It's no secret that Kardashian has had more than a little 'work done,' but the full scale of that work doesn't hit you until you see a picture of her natural look. She barely even resembles her younger self anymore. That's a shame, because she was undoubtedly a pretty girl. The eyes, the nose, and the lips have completely changed since this was taken, and she'd never be seen dead with that hairstyle now. Despite that, this picture serves as a reminder that Kardashian was once like the rest of us, and as excited about her prom night as we all were!
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?
