There were two things that Tyga was famous for. The first is that he was romantically involved with Kylie Jenner. The second was his rap music career. We suspect that he'd rather those two things were the other way around, but when you get close to the Kardashian family, their fame will always eclipse yours. Now there's another thing he's famous for - he doesn't have any money. It's not because he doesn't earn any - it sounds like he just doesn't like to pay his bills.
In 2013, he 'borrowed' a designer watch with a value of $180,000 from a jeweler in Los Angeles, and then never gave it back. He then took out a series of leases on properties, but failed to pay rent on many of them. He did the same thing with a fleet of luxury cars. Eventually, his Ferraris, Bentleys, properties and everything else was repossessed from him, leaving him with the small matter of being sued by three models who claim he'd used unlicensed footage of them in a music video.
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?
