5. The Devil Wears Prada

5. The Devil Wears Prada

Give us Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt any day of the week. The Devil Wears Prada is an absolute classic in the chick flick category. Released in 2006, the film was based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger. The novel was an account of her own time working for notoriously tough Vogue editor, Anna Wintour.

The film was a huge success and Streep received rave reviews for her portrayal of Miranda Priestly (the character based on Wintour in the novel). The story is about young journalist Andy (Hathaway) and her first real job working as an assistant for fashion magazine, Runway. Her personal life soon begins to fall apart as she follows the outrageous demands of her nightmare boss. If you love fashion, you'll love all of the amazing clothes in this movie!

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.

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.
