Jacqueline DeLois Moore, who has wrestled under a multitude of different monikers including Jackie, Ms. Texas, Jacqueline, and so many more is another dominant force who ran the entire pro-wrestling circuit throughout the course of the '90s and 2000s. Matter of fact, she's one of the few women on this list to have an impact on wrestling culture over the past four decades. From Spears to Missile Dropkicks to Headscissors to Moolah Whips, there isn't a single thing Jacqueline can't do in the ring. The Dallas, Texas-native was known for throwing her opponent around the ring with ease despite weighing less than 120lbs herself.
Since 1988, Moore has worked every major American wrestling outlet from WCW to TNA to WWF/WWE. However, in the United States Wrestling Association she's a legend holding the USWA Women's Championship belt a total of fourteen times. Her rivalry with Sable in the WWF prompted the company to re-establish the WWF Women's Championship which she led twice during her tenure in the WWF/WWE (1993-1994, 1998-2004). Jacqueline also held the WWE Cruiserweight Championship belt which is commonly held by men. She is the third woman in WWE history to do so.
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.
