The Green Bay Packers is another one of those classic football franchises that have achieved a lot since their conception. The Packers have a total of four Super Bowl victories to brag about as well as one of the most consistent quarterback drafting records to date. However, the team does have a rather unlikely die-hard celebrity fan in Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne's Packer fandom might be a surprise to many being that Wayne has notoriously represented his hometown of New Orleans not only in his music but has the city permanently tattooed on several parts of his body. Strangely, Wayne became a Packers fan after his father attended the 1997 Super Bowl game between the Packers and the New England Patriots. Ultimately, the Packers won their third championship at that time and Wayne's father returned home with a ton of memorabilia which sparked the talented rapper's interest in the team. Also, don't sleep on Weezy's sports knowledge too. There's a reason he's a recurring guest on ESPN.
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?
