Fat Quyeen Latifah

Queen Latifah is a very talented women excelling in so many ways despite her weight. Yes, while she did have surgery to reduce her large chest, she has made no obvious efforts to lose weight through anything radical like liposuction or gastric bypass. On the contrary, in an interview to People, she says that she is proud of being a curvaceous woman. "(In Hollywood) we've definitely gotten better with body type," she says. "It used to be just me! Now with Jennifer Hudson's success and America Ferrera, I got some successors to take the reins on this whole bodylicious thing." She even organized a modeling contest for plus size women.

"I think I'm normal (she weighs 200 lbs) compared to the statistics," she says. "This is a big country nowadays." She is absolutely right. America is suffering from an obesity crisis. Even Tyra Banks has no problem being fat.

While Latifah had breast reduction surgery because of back pain, she now regrets that she reduced her cup size too much. Before her surgery, she says she was "an E or an F cup. I was pretty big. Now I am like a DD. I wanted to be a triple. They took one D too many! So that was hard to deal with. ... I missed my old look." No wonder Kate Beckinsale wants breasts like Queen Latifah.

There is no doubt that curvaceous women are sexy and in my opinion real women are not pencil thin. And when it comes to curvaceous women, who else can be a better symbol than Queen Latifah herself.
