Learn More »Chef K also fondly recalls working for Mr. Sheen, even though she started at a tumultuous time in his personal life. It was 2011, she said, “when all that tiger blood thing happened, he had just done the interview.” But he turned out to be the nicest guy who always asked for liverwurst sandwiches and chicken and dumplings, she said. Fans assume that her moniker, Chef K, is related to her work with the Kardashians, but she said Mr. Sheen was the one to start calling her that, after he couldn’t figure out how to spell her name on one of her checks. She said she loved working for Mr. Sheen because it also gave her the opportunity to cook for his ex-wife, Denise Richards, and their children. “They lived down the street and would come over more,” she said. “It was like the children eating and smiling with their father and their mother, and I thought, wow, this is happening through food.” It was during this time that Chef K got her first taste of fame: She said Ms. Richards connected her with Patti Stanger, who at the time was hosting the reality show “Millionaire Matchmaker” on Bravo. Chef K ended up appearing on the show as its “first lesbian millionaire.” She also appeared on Season 1 of “The Taste,” an ABC cooking competition show, which she won. After those appearances, however, she got busier with her private clients and retreated somewhat from the public eye. Now, with her new social media profile, she is eager to create a lasting brand. She is considering writing a cookbook and has a beverage collaboration in the works. Mostly, though, she wants to show fans at home what it’s really like to work in a celebrity’s kitchen. “People don’t know what happens in the back of house,” she said. “There’s a lot of grit, there’s a lot of sacrifice, there’s a lot that goes on for just that 10 minutes of their lunch.”
Typically, most piano tuners charge by the hour, but $100 to $200 every 6-12 months is much cheaper than having the piano restrung. This process...

When it comes to fine jewelry, Jennifer Lopez’s collection is on a par with Elizabeth Taylor’s—particularly when it comes to her engagement rings. The 53-year-old has worn a number of designs over the years (half a dozen, to be exact), but the stones chosen for her by her now-husband Ben Affleck are far and away the most discussed. Take the pink Harry Winston diamond she received from the Oscar winner in 2002. “I looked at the ring, and I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” J.Lo told Diane Sawyer in a segment back in the early Noughties. “It was just—it’s the most magnificent thing.” Valued at an estimated $1 million at the time, the 6.10-carat stone inspired a trend for colored diamond rings—even impressing the likes of Barbra Streisand, a diamond fanatic. J.Lo’s second engagement ring from Affleck is even rarer—with the central green diamond sourced by Ilan Portugali of Beverly Hills Diamonds. (Tamara Rahaminov and Nicol Goldfiner of Rahaminov Diamonds were responsible for the actual design of the piece.) In addition to being the second rarest hue for a diamond (red holds the number-one spot), the color green holds special meaning for Lopez. “I always say the color green is my lucky color,” she wrote in her newsletter, On The JLo. “Maybe you can remember a certain green dress. I’ve realized there are many moments in my life when amazing things happened when I was wearing green.”
