For quite a while now, there's been a rumor going around the internet that Pharrell Williams is actually a vampire. Looking at this picture, you can see why. He has the same face here as he does right now, and he doesn't ever seem to age a single day. By the time of this photo, he'd already taught himself how to play drums and keyboards. He'd also met Chad Hugo, with whom he'd go on to form the chart-topping band The Neptunes. To put it another way, his ticket to fame had already been stamped.
Since then, he's discovered that his favorite accessory is an enormous hat, and he's both written for and produced several of the world's most famous stars. Whether it was 'Blurred Lines,' 'Get Lucky,' or 'Happy,' you've danced or tapped your foot along to a Williams-penned classic in the past few years. Here's a top trivia fact; he's such a massive 'Star Trek' nerd that he called his record label 'Star Trak' in tribute to the show!
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?
