Beverly Johnson is set to judge a much-hyped (especially for a TV Land production) reality modeling competition show where the catch is that the models are all older than 35. Here's a selection of fabulous and over 35 — in some cases way older than 35; Eartha Kitt is 81 — women in entertainment.

Hot damn, Eartha. Now, here are some fine examples of something I've been thinking for years: black women age sooo much more gracefully. This is nature throwing black women a bone for all the other crap they have to put up with. Halle Berry is nearly 40. Seriously, by the time I turn 40, I'm going to look like a boot.

Black don’t crack.
Hmmm. No. Still gotta take care of yourself. You can still look like crap while your face stays young. That's just one part of the formula.

I see Eartha and Tina and it just makes me want to lift those weights and do that cardio so, God willing, I can look like that when I'm their age. Tina is pushing 70. Eartha's in her 80s. Just wow. I should mention that both these ladies like their men young. Perhaps they've discovered the fountain of youth. That must be why Halle looks better with each passing day.

How could you forget Natalie Cole, Lauren.

Natalie looks very good for her age. Her body is off the charts.

Forgive me for being a bi*&h but Jada-no.

She said A SELECTION, not the whole damn world. Many of the over 35 black celebrities look fab.

Even Condoleeza with her job and all. She seems to be the only one who hasn't aged in this administration and still has a great figure. Even if you have nothing else nice to say about her, you've gotta give her this much.

Geez Daria, I see.

I agree with you on Condi's aging too. Proof a woman can be happy without a husband and children.
