Peyton Royce has stated that 'Latino Heat' Eddie Guerrero is her inspiration for setting foot in the ring and she's proven to be one of today's elite female athletes on the professional wrestling circuit. While she only weighs in at 132lbs, Royce, born Cassie Mcintosh, isn't afraid to throw her opposition around. Her flawless suplex combos, spinning heel kicks, and Venus Fly Trap signature move have allowed her to become premier talent in the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (WWE).

Prior to making her way to the Smackdown roster, Royce made her debut in the Pro Wrestling Women's Alliance (PWWA) in February 2009. After performing on the independent wrestling circuit for several years, becoming a one-time PWA Women's Champion, and winning the Vera and Jenny Memorial Cup (2014) Royce got an opportunity to try out for the WWE. Fortunately, she excelled and even held the WWE Women's Tag Team title briefly alongside partner, Billie Kay.

Did You Know...

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.

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.
