Click here to read the full article.
What would we do without Chrissy Teigen? The model and TV personality just revealed the secrets of celebrity life on Twitter, and she’s answering all the questions we’ve never dared to ask. From hearing about the full-time staff Teigen and John Legend have on hand to the secret of how celebs navigate the airport, our jaws were dropping more than once reading through her Q&A.
Teigen kicked off this illuminating set of tweets by answering a question on the platform about whether or not celebs have “junk drawers where they throw random cords and pens.” Sharing a photo of her own (remarkably organized) junk drawer, Teigen then wrote: “It’s celebrity question asking time! Ask me, your favorite A list celebrity anything you would like to know about being a super huge A list celebrity.”

Honestly, literally every part of this thread is fascinating, but we’ll try to break it down by category. First, all the answers Teigen gave about who works for her and John: four nannies, Christmas-shopping assistants, a business accountant, a house manager (who helps schedule the rest of the “household staff”), and various “hair/makeup people” who are sometimes paid to travel with the famous family.
We have 4 incredible people, not all at once. One will rotate and stay through the night. https://t.co/aSC4NB301H

Next, we have the most shocking secrets Teigen revealed on behalf of celebrities everywhere — like the fact that they pay for membership to a private (and separate) airport terminal, what exactly a “gifting suite” is, and how celebs find each other’s phone numbers.
there is a terminal a mile from the airport that you pay membership for. they do the same security privately and take you to the plane in a car. I know. I know. https://t.co/BtFaTBaMKh

A huge room of shit where publicists bring their clients to take pictures with each piece of shit https://t.co/BIj8CnnxsH

unbelievably boring and you are pulled in 100 different directions and yelled at to sit down. the bar is never close to you and everyone is so mean to seat fillers, I dunno why anyone wants to do it https://t.co/U7tuzWTA0L

sometimes I ask a publicist for someone’s info to text but for the most part I don’t talk to many people because I don’t want them to think I’m a thirsty weirdo. https://t.co/h0rdo0EfBR

Teigen also dished on some memorable paparazzi incidents, and reminded us that it’s basically impossible to do “normal” things like grocery shopping or going to the movies when you’re as recognizable as she is.
if you’re nice to them, they’re good to you. one time I dodged one for miles and hid in an alley. he found me. I lept from my car, shaking and crying that he had a gps on my car. he was so kind and I ended up feeling terrible. it’s a job. https://t.co/or9Vr96il8

luna hates them. in New York they don’t really hide and they apologize when she freaks and stop photographing. here in LA, they’ve learned to hide more and you don’t know you’re being photographed. I’d rather know. https://t.co/i9aIKx7kdS

grocery store but I still try https://t.co/iIeePqEy4N

I go maybe once a month or less, only if I worked earlier and have my hair and makeup done already https://t.co/PLRhShv12y

For all her celebrity-specific problems, though, Teigen is as relatable as ever when talking about her family — especially her “scheduling” spats with Legend, and his alarm clock routine that drives her crazy.
We ask the management of the artist but always insist on paying, since we know exactly what it’s like to constantly be hit up for tickets. https://t.co/w3JUMdKDPb

John sets an alarm but leaves it in the bathroom while he makes the kids pancakes and I have to get up to cancel it. I get very upset. https://t.co/VWBXyAOWhx

I don’t hide anything. I fight in cars, I fight at home, I fight at the airport. I don’t care. John just won’t fight back. https://t.co/66b5Y5tIHl

Finally: wondering what Teigen’s giving for Christmas this year? She feels very strongly that a Barefoot Dreams blanket is the perfect gift — and after all the wisdom she’s dropped here, who are we to question her?
If you are struggling for a Christmas gift for someone, get them a barefoot dreams blanket. I use mine 365. It stretches and wraps over your shoulders and feet and nothing else compares.
