You're looking at the offspring of rap royalty here, ladies and gentlemen. You may not know the name Tameka Cottle, but she's been behind some of huge hits down the years. She was a member of Xscape in the 1990s, and as a songwriter she had credits on TLC's legendary "Scrubs" as well as more recently on Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You". As for her father - he's T.I. Do we really need to say more than that? T.I. is one of rap's most notorious and controversial bad boys.
Here's their daughter Zonnique Pullins stepping out of the car on prom night! You know you're doing well when there's someone there to hold the rain off for you. Her dress has fairytale qualities to it, and we think it pulls away so she can have some fun dancing in the shorter, funkier sparkling gold dress beneath it. She's a girl who knows when to pose and when to let go.
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.
