Just when most of us started wondering what happened to Tatyana Ali, the hot Harvard alumna is coming back to the TV screen in Love That Girl, a four-episode sitcom produced by Martin Lawrence and Bentley Kyle Edwards. The sitcom will premiere on TV One later this month. She's also currently in a BET web drama entitled Buppies, where she plays a Hollywood socialite. Tatyana has come a long way from being Ashley Banks, and we like what we see (without feeling all creepy about it anymore).
The Ivy League boasts many things: elite alums, super-competitive admissions, secret societies, snobby kids driving around in luxury vehicles bought by their parents, and, last but not least—some very sexy women. In honor of Tatyana and other girls who have the rare combination of supreme beauty and brains (the traditional kind), check out our list of the hottest Ivy League alumnae...
RASHIDA JONES
ALMA MATER: Harvard, Graduated in 1997
• The daughter of Quincy Jones and star of Parks and Recreation was a member of the Signet Society, Black Students Association, and the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. We like a girl who gets into a lot of extracurricular activities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELIZABETH BANKS
ALMA MATER: University of Pennsylvania, Graduated in 1997
• Most known for her roles in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Zack & Miri Make A Porno and Scrubs, Banks graduated magna cum laude and was member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. Damn, triple Ds are usually a bit too much of a good thing, but she's still at the head of our class.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BROOKE SHIELDS
ALMA MATER: Princeton, Graduated in 1987
• The model/actress—who attened Princeton at the height of her late '80s fame—has her degree in French Lit, so she'll have no problem asking us to voulez-vous...you know the rest. Oui!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AISHA TYLER
ALMA MATER: Dartmouth, Graduated in 1992
• Majored in environmental policy and co-founded social awareness signing group the Rockapellas. She's funny, has brains, beauty, and she's a conscious chick? Yep. Definitely crazy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RACHEL NICHOLS
ALMA MATER: Columbia, Graduated in 2002
• While majoring in psychology at Columbia, this Star Trek/GI Joe/Alias beauty juggled her classes and photo shoots in Europe. We like a girl adept at juggling. And by juggling, we mean juggling nuts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANGELA BASSETT
ALMA MATER: Yale, Graduated with B.A. in 1980 and Masters in 1983
• The eternally-fine Bassett holds both a Bachelors in African-American studies and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the institution, which means she'd be able to fulfill that whole teacher/student fantasy we've always had. *Cue porn music*.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMMA WATSON
ATTENDING: Brown, Currently a freshman
• This now-legal Harry Potter starlet was born in Paris, grew up in the U.K. and is currently majoring in liberal arts here in the states. God bless America and early '90s born hotties who are now legal!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JENNIFER CONNELLY
ALMA MATER: Yale, Attended from 1989-91
• While filming sexy roles in The Hot Spot and Career Opportunities, Connelly enrolled at Yale as an English major before later transferring to Stanford. Suppose we can say Yale lost not just a great one, but great TWOS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CARLA GALLO
ALMA MATER: Cornell, Graduated in 1997
• Best known for her role in the Judd Apatow's Undeclared (where she played a college freshman) and now as a porn star on Californication, Gallo graduated with a degree in theatre of the arts. A girl that leaves the drama on stage, is what makes her wifey, not trifey material.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NATALIE PORTMAN
ALMA MATER: Harvard, Graduated in 2003
• With a Bachelors in Psychology, we wouldn't mind having this Golden Globe-winning hottie pick at our brain. And by that, we mean fellatio. Of course.

HoodNerd: I've been crushin' on Aisha since I first saw her on The Soup. Well, a few months ago I'm at my neighborhood Whole Foods. I had noted the chauffeur-driven Hummer outside the front door. So I'm at the salad bar, when my vag-alerts were going off like crazy. I look up, and straight across from me is this fine looking woman, dressed well, and celeb-like. She looks up for a half second, no make-up on, and my internal babe file needed all of a nanosecond to identify our girl Aisha. Just Aisha and I, dancing together around the salad bar. I honestly believe that I was the only person who recognized her because not a single person approached her. We locked eyes briefly, I said hi, she smiled back back. And I was on my way, knowing that I had just had a moment with AT. Damn straight I took that smile home with me along with a few fantasies of what would have occurred in that Hummer between she and I if I wasn't aware of her new husband and family. EASILY one of the Top 5 most unbelievable looking women I have ever seen in person (and that includes many celebs).
