And other celebrities turn to food -- even ones you didn't know could cook.
Gwyneth Paltrow is only one of the recent celebrities to slap her name on a cookbook or food product. After traveling around Spain with celebrity chef Mario Batali she put together her own collection of family recipes.
Director, producer and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola began making wine in 1977. His brand has gone on to produce pasta sauces as well and he also owned the Rubicon restaurant in San Francisco with Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro until it closed in 2008.
In 1982 Paul Newman founded "Newman's Own." It started out as salad dressings, but the brand has grown to include lemonade, wine, salsa, pasta sauces and more. All of the proceeds go to charity, and as of 2010 the brand had raised over $300 million.
P. Diddy has been the brand ambassador for France's Ciroc vodka, a luxury brand which makes its vodka from grapes, since 2003.
