Wisconsin - Ken Kennedy

Ken Kennedy was one of those narcissistic heels that made you dislike him because of his self-indulging antics. His arrival on the WWE Smackdown scene in 2005 quickly propelled him to the top as he was able to earn the honors of holding the WWE United States Championship the following year in 2006. Unfortunately for Mr. Kennedy, he lost the belt after a month but formed notable feuds with the likes of WWE legends like The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Benoit.

Ken Kennedy's time did not last long with WWE as he was released from his contract in 2009. However, his best days were ahead of him as he became a full-time roster member on TNA in 2010 where he became a two-time TNA Heavyweight Champion. Since then, Ken Kennedy has been working the independent circuit and killing it. We're sure he'll make it back to a major platform in the near future.

Did You Know...

I

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.

II

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.

IV

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.
