The absolute worst time for a need for dental braces to arise is when you're due to have your yearbook photo taken, and so we feel for Jeremy Piven here. You can sense the awkwardness radiating from him - although part of that might come from his hairstyle, which doesn't appear to know what it's doing, or what it wants to be. Somehow, despite looking like this, he would play a college jock during his first major role in 'Lucas' during the 1980s.
Somewhere along the line, Piven clearly learned a thing or two about personal grooming. You won't see many men in Hollywood as well turned out as Piven always seems to be. His immaculate good looks (along with his acting talent) have won him a number of big roles in shows like 'Seinfeld,' but our younger readers probably know him better for the part of Ari Gold in 'Entourage,' for which he's been decorated with awards. When he's not acting, you'll sometimes find him playing drums for the band 'Bad Decisions,' of which he's made very few in his career.
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?
