He sees dead people - but does he ever see Scooby-Doo? Haley Joel Osment was the biggest child star of the late 1990s and early 2000s, inheriting the crown from Macauley Culkin. He creeped us out to no end in 'The Sixth Sense,' but when he got a little older, he started growing his hair out and developed a shaggy beard. So shaggy, in fact, that it reminded us of an animated star from our youths.
Scooby-Doo is a television icon, but he'd be nothing without his human sidekick Shaggy, who's there to translate for him and throw in the occasional catchphrase. With his laid-back approach to his dress sense, hairstyle, and fuzzy facial hair, Shaggy is someone who doesn't seem to take life too seriously. With all the money he made as a child actor, perhaps Osment has the same mindset. Perhaps he should start practicing saying 'zoinks' in the mirror just in case the role ever comes up.
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.
