Whenever a beautiful woman becomes famous, many people describe them as a Disney princess come to life. That's not always accurate, but in the case of pop princess Katy Perry, we'd have to accept that there's some truth to it. Perry, who once famously kissed a girl and liked it, almost doesn't look real at times. Her physical proportions defy description, and it's little wonder that seemingly everybody who meets the 'California Girls,' singer falls in love with her. Even famous Casanova Russell Brand fell under her spell for a while.
If we had to pick a specific Disney princess to compare Perry to, we'd have to go with Snow White, the fairest of them all. This comparison is helped along a little by the fact that Perry has even dressed as Snow White on occasion, and suits the part perfectly. When Perry puts her hair up and paints her lips red, we almost expect to see seven dwarfs marching along in formation behind her.
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?
