We're not sure if this photo was taken in the middle of him cleaning the floors with a broom, or if someone's just stolen the top of his microphone stand, but either way we'll let you ask the questions of Kurupt in this picture. He looks angry. The man to the left as you look at the picture you'll recognize as Snoop Dogg, and the guy on the other side is...erm...what's his name? You know the guy. Legendary producer and rapper. Gave Eminem his breakthrough. Doctor...Dre! That's it. We can't believe we forgot about Dre.
This picture was actually taken backstage at the Source Awards in 1995, which was a flashpoint in the entire East Coast vs West Coast rap divide of the time. Many of those collecting awards on the night - including Snoop Dogg - took the opportunity to fire off verbal barbs at their rivals. A year later, Tupac Shakur was gunned down.
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.
