*Jill Scott is the first to tell you that her chest area is both a blessing and a curse. "I have large breasts," she tells The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I've been blessed with them, and I need something that can support (them)." The singer-turned actress has tried everything – custom-made bras, even wearing two at a time "a bra for lift, and one for shape," she explains. But nothing has worked. Until now. Scott, 35, has come up with a solution for herself and others with the same burden in the new "Butterfly" bra for plus-size store Ashley Stewart. The undergarment, which Ashley Stewart says is "inspired" by Scott, puts additional fabric and support on the back of the bra rather than on the shoulder straps, which can dig into the skin. "I got tired of the hurting shoulders — that's not nice," said Scott, who stars in the upcoming film "Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency." Currently on tour to promote her new album "The Real Thing: Words and Sounds, Vol. 3," Scott said she once considered having breast reduction surgery, but was scared off by the thought of pain. "Besides, I really enjoy my breasts," she said. "They've been with me for a long time — without being too graphic, we've had fun!"
