I was told I was fat in the modeling world, and a director on a shoot told me I needed to lose weight. The J-Lo booty wasn't popular then, and I wanted to be the perfect Hollywood girl - tall, blonde and skinny. I couldn't do the 'tall' because I was 5'2, and I couldn't do the skinny, either.

I feel like my figure is a challenge because I'm quite flat chested but I've got a booty so I've got to look for the right things.

I come from a family of well-endowed booty women.

I don't mind having a big butt - they're back in style. But I do a lot of squats to make sure my booty's not dragging on the ground.

- Miranda Lambert

I'm going to be shaking my booty when I'm 55.

- Natalie Merchant

I'm Cuban, so I like a bit of curve. I just want my booty to have a little lift!

- Odette Annable

I have my dad's shape. No booty.

Booty is just a ghetto expression, and I'm just a booty star.

The Americans may think they have 'liberated' Baghdad but the tens of thousands of thieves - they came in families and cruised the city in trucks and cars searching for booty - seem to have a different idea what liberation means.

- Robert Fisk

I'd love to be in the '70s. I'd love to have a big, long wig parted down the middle with flat-ironed hair and bell-bottoms. They're actually very flattering for my figure. The wider the leg, the better for a person with a booty.
