Vince McMahon Jr. is nothing more or nothing less than a genius. There hasn't been a longer-running television series than the WWE and a lot of that has to do with Vince McMahon's business acumen and ability to keep a top-tier production team incorporated into his business. As the chairman of the WWE Inc. since 1982, he's been able to acquire his competitive assets in the WCW and curate a conglomerate of pro-wrestling platforms that makes the WWE the most domineering promotions company in the world for professional wrestling.
As a wrestling personality, he's utilized his position as CEO to create storylines that have allowed his persona to blossom in front of wrestling fans. Throughout his tenure, McMahon has held the WWE Champion title once and the ECW Championship belt once as well. As the boss, he calls the shots and only holding the title belt once is pretty humble if you ask us. Without Vince McMahon there is no hostile WWE takeover and wrestling might not be what it is today without him. We gotta give him his flowers while he's here.
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.
