There are few pleasures in life like a nice hot bath when you really need one. They relax and soothe us, and help us wind down from a difficult day. That's why it's so important that your bathtub is comfortable. You don't want your feet poking out of the end of it, or an uncomfortable ridge where you want to rest your head. Oprah Winfrey doesn't have that problem, because her bathtub is molded to the shape of her own body.
As she revealed on a TV show with fellow chat host James Corden, Winfrey revealed that she'd paid big money to have a tub hand carved to the exact contours of her body, and crafted from onyx and marble. That's a very solid (and probably very heavy) tub. She explained that a full body cast of her was taken to enable the job to be done; although she mysteriously revealed that it can contain more than one person if she ever needs it to.
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?
