31. Madison Rayne

Madison Rayne formerly known as Ashley Lane and Lexi Lane is somewhat of a legend on the independent circuit. In the ring, she's rather gutsy and a high-energy personality that you have to watch closely because you never know what she's gonna do next. While only 5'3 and listed at 120lbs, she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Her Northern Lights Suplexes are nearly flawless, she's willing to go aerial with her Lexi-Canranas, and her finishers in the Inverted Overdrive Rayne Drop and Rayne Check Guillotine Drop are both worthy signatures for her fast-paced style of wrestling.

Madison Rayne's wrestling career debut took place in her state of Ohio as a roster member of the Ohio Championship Wrestling promotion (OCW) in 2005. From there Rayne would take her talents to the Shimmer Women Athletes, Remix Pro Wrestling (RPW), and more before finding a home at TNA. Within her nearly decade and a half career, Rayne's has been the named the Zero 1 USA Women's Champion, the OCW Women's Champion (2x), the TNA Knockouts Champion (5x), a TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion (2x), and the Queen of the Knockouts in 2014.

Did You Know...

I

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.

II

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.

IV

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.
