Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler has played many hilarious roles, such as 'Billy Madison' where he acts like he's an idiot, but believe it or not, he graduated from New York University with a degree in Fine Arts. So, not only is he funny, but he's also smart.

You Got Punk'd
No, there are no cameras and you are NOT being punk'd. Ashton Kutcher majored in biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa. Yeah, we had to read that a couple of times too. Who would have even guessed that Ashton can read, let alone have a degree in biochemical engineering? Guess you need a degree like that to get the older chicks.

Gwyneth Paltrow
This beautiful and talented blond bombshell attented the University of California in Santa Barbara. Pretty convenient that Gwyneth Paltrow went to school only an hour or so from Hollywood. Well played, Gwyn. She seems like the sorority type. We wonder if she pledged while in college.

Madonna
Now you may not think that Madonna had any dicipline for college because of her crazy performances and always being the rebel performer. But Madonna actually won a scholarship because of her excellent grades and she ended up studying modern dance and drama for three semesters at the University of Michigan.

Reese Witherspoon
Awww, Reese Witherspoon is just beyond precious. We assumed that she would have studied fine arts, or something artsy fartsy, but were really shocked to find out that she actually majored in English from the University of Texas. We wonder how much she actually uses what she learn. Either way, she sure does seem like a Texas girl to us.

Renee Zellweger
We're surprised this squinting celebrity actually went to college. Of course the squinty has nothing to do with Renee Zellweger's ability to learn ... we just think it's funny. Anyway, Renee Zellweger also went to the University of Texas and got a B.A. in English. We wonder if she was there at the same time as Reese Witherspoon. Weird.

Mary-Kate and Ashley
You might remember all the buzz when Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen decided to attend New York University. They purchased a super expensive place near the campus. Once Mary-Kate's eating disorder became too severe she dropped out of school. Ashley stayed in classes and still is working toward her degree.

Jennifer Garner
Studying drama ... we get that, but chemistry? Wow. Jennifer Garner attended Denison University and studied both chemistry and drama. We guess drama really won her heart, but we are sure she was amazing in chem class, too. We just believe she is amazing enough to be that good at everything. Any time you want to work on some chemistry, Jen, just give us a ring.

Mind Reader
Whoa, Harvard? Now that's impressive. Although we are talking about Natalie Portman here and quite frankly we think she could do just about anything. It sounds like we?re kissing up (which is partly true), but she continues to amaze us with her acting skills. Not only that, but she majored in psychology, which basically means she can read minds. Seriously ... look it up.

Claire Danes
Natalie Portman attending Harvard was really impressive, but Claire Danes going to Yale University just blows us away. The always tell legends of girls who are beautiful, smart and talented, but we weren't so sure until we made this list. Thanks for proving us wrong Claire. We think it's awesome.
