'Chaos Walking' could be the birth of a whole new franchise if things go well. It's an adaptation of the Patrick Ness novel 'The Knife Of Never Letting Go', which is the first book in a trilogy. Expect all three to make their way to the big screen eventually.
The science fiction thriller, released on March 1st, features Daisy Ridley of 'Star Wars' fame in a leading role, supported by Tom Holland and Mads Mikkelsen. It's a strange plot, featuring a future Earth colony where all the women are believed to have been killed by a mutated virus, and telepathy is commonplace. Holland's character discovers a patch of complete silence inhabited by a very strange woman - who shouldn't exist - and the strangeness progresses from there. Ridley is a big fan of the original books and was understandably delighted to be cast in the film!
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?
