The age old ‘hood’ adage goes, ‘you can’t trust a big butt and a smile’; but what if the big butt comes with big brains? In Hollywood, where most are judged by their physical appearance, we sometimes forget that there are a few intelligent celebrities, who just so happen to possess curvaceous backsides to compliment their talent and brains.
Angela Bassett
At age 52, Angela Bassett has a shape that motivates 20 year old women to hit the gym. Possessing a shapely figure with curves to match, this Academy Award nominated actress holds a B.A and a master’s degree from Yale University. In addition to her prestigious degrees, Bassett is a proud philanthropist, serving as an active Ambassador for the UNICEF.
Beyonce
Besides being ‘bootylicious, Beyonce is one of the hardest working entertainers in Hollywood. While her drop dead gorgeous looks and ‘grown woman’ curves are enough to get our attention, her substantial talent, tenacity and commendable work ethic are what keeps us watching. Beyonce proves that ‘bootylicious-ness’ may get you noticed but hard-work and a strong business sense keeps you relevant.
Sanaa Lathan
Some women are born with it while others choose to buy. Sanaa Lathan is one of those fabulous women with natural curves. Similar to Angela Bassett, Lathan graduated from The Yale School of Drama where she began her acting career. Working both on the big screen and Broadway, Sanaa Lathan is beautiful, talented, and intelligent with curves to match.
Tracee Ellis Ross
A svelte figure with a surprisingly hefty derriere, the former Girlfriends star had more than girls tuning in to the UPN sitcom. A former graduate of Brown University, Tracee Ellis Ross obtained a theater degree in 1995 and before pursuing acting, worked as a model and contributing fashion editor for Mirablella and New York magazine.
Serena Williams
Besides commanding attention on the tennis court, Serena Williams makes heads turn off the court with her curvaceous shape. But besides tennis, Serena has proven herself to be quite the entrepreneur over the past last few years. She is the Chief Executive Officer of her own interior design firm and recently released her first book ‘Come to Win’ in June of this year.
Regina Hall
Known for her lead role as Brenda Meeks on the Scary Movie films, most men would agree that Regina Hall is anything but scary. The actress was featured on the cover of King Magazine showing of her curves and most recently posed classily nude alongside Kim Kardashian, Joy Bryant and other celebrities in Allure Magazine.
A graduate from New York University, Hall possesses a master’s degree in journalism, in which she recently announced she is putting to use as a writer for ABILITY magazine.
Alicia Keys
The co-founder and Global Ambassador of Keep A Child Alive, Alicia Keys’ beauty exceeds far beyond singing. The curvaceous entertainer also writes her own music and is also a trained pianist. Graduating high school as valedictorian at age 16, Keys didn’t obtain a college degree, but was accepted and briefly attended Columbia University in New York City.
Wendy Raquel Robinson
At 43 years old, co-star of the CW/BET drama, The Game, Wendy Raquel graduated from Howard University earning a B.A. in drama. Since making her acting debut in 1993 on an episode of Martin, Robinson hasn’t looked back. Her roles have gotten better with time, just like her slim but curvy shape.
