Yes, we know that Kanye West isn't technically a movie star, but this is Kanye West we're talking about. He's a man who describes himself as being the biggest rock star on the planet, despite the fact he's never released a rock song in his life. If you don't think he's a movie star, you go and tell him. We'll stand back and watch. You never know quite what you're going to get with West, whether it's turning up to the White House to talk music with the President, or getting into a seemingly endless spat with Taylor Swift.
Not only would we not tell Kayne that he isn't a rock star, but we also wouldn't bring up his height to him. We suspect that at 5 foot 8, he's probably quite sensitive about it. That might explain why he married Kim Kardashian, who's barely over five feet tall. Alternatively, that might have been more to do with the fact that she's one of the richest and most beautiful women in showbusiness. He might be short, but he's winning at life!
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.
