3. Tupac Shakur's Friends Smoked His Ashes

3. Tupac Shakur's Friends Smoked His Ashes

Whilst Tupac is sadly no longer with us to confirm if this rumor is true or false, we're going to have to say it's looking pretty likely that this one will turn out to be true. We can't say for sure, but we think he would have approved of this rather macabre grieving process. His ashes were smoked by the members of his notorious rap group 'The Outlawz' who have willingly confirmed that the rumors are indeed true.

Perhaps they could be cashing in on the notoriety the myth has brought them, however they were all too happy to confirm that their track "Black Jesus" was inspired by their practice of smoking their fallen friend's ashes mixed with cannabis. Or perhaps that was how the myth was born and they went along for the ride?

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.
