The Seattle Seahawks are often slept on and their quarterback Russell Wilson is highly under-appreciated by mainstream media as he's led the Seahawks to back to Super Bowls in 2014 and 2015, one of which the Hawks won. Fortunately, the organization does have a solid foundation and fanbase that come to games from all over the Northwest region of the United States. The Seahawks too, have the support of a major celebrity as well in Macklemore.
Macklemore has always repped his hometown of Seattle, Washington and his love for the Seattle Seahawks. The "Thrift Store" rapper and the Seahawks front office have also become pretty close in recent years as Macklemore and his producer, Ryan Lewis, have performed in front of thousands of screaming Seahawks fans numerous times. The Seahawks still have the talent and ability to be elite in today's league they just need a little extra help. Maybe Macklemore can write some more heat to motivate his hometown team.
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.
