The undisputed Godfather of Heavy Metal Ozzy Osbourne has lived quite a crazy life. Ozzy was once the frontman of the notorious Black Sabbath band but later was kicked out of the band where he started his solo career and went on to release eleven albums, seven of which went platinum. Ozzy's also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and later turned into quite the reality star alongside his family on MTV's, The Osbournes.
Back in 2003, Ozzy Osbourne was involved in an ATV accident that could have killed the legendary rock star. Ozzy suffered from a broken collarbone, eight fractured ribs that pinched several blood vessels as well as damaged vertebrae in his neck. Ozzy spoke on the accident saying, "The bloody thing nearly killed me. I am lucky to be here today and not paralyzed."
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?
