CL’S TOP 10 COUPLES OF 2006
Thursday, December 21, 2006
Since 2006 is winding down, I thought it would be dope to do a few posts with a top 10 lists of random topics of the year. First up, CL’s Top 10 popular couples of 2006.
After looking and laughing through every post we made this year, I compiled some of your favorite or in some cases, least favorite couples of the year. We really only have like 20 couples in black hollywood anyway, but that’s another post. Now on to the list!!
#1: JAY-Z & BEYONCE

Hate it or Love, Jayonce was heavliy talked about this year. Whether it was those bogus wedding rumors that were circulating the net, or those random beach-side & court-side candids that you love us for. We made sure to post about it. You all know you secretly love seeing these two anyway! Those comments speak a 1000 words.
#2: JERMAINE & JANET

Yep, J&J came in 2nd place for 2006. We posted candids, event shots, and more of these two. Not to mention, all the TMI posts with Janet talking about how good a lover Jermaine is. He got her ass sprung out on his shit. I ain’t mad at cha Jermaine!
#3: RUSSELL SIMMONS & KIMORA

They supposedly broke it off back in June, but since that announcement
they have been seen together at numerous events and in candid shots.
Nevertheless, they were very popular this year.
#4: NAS & KELIS

Awww one of my favorite celebrity couples came in 4th. Everyone loves this couple because they geniunely look happy to be with each other. Everytime I see them I just smile. Yeah I know I sound corny as hell, but I ain’t lying.
#5: DIDDY & KIM PORTER

Some people went crazy over these two this year. Even though Diddy publicly announced that he will NEVER marry Kim, she is still popping out children for him. I guess those monthly checks will make up for all the stress. Good luck with the twin girls!
#6: HALLE BERRY & GABRIEL AUBRY

For some odd reason we kept posting up boring candids of Halle Berry and her boo Gabriel up on the site. I’m actually surprised I didn’t get complaints about the amount of candids we posted of the two. Don’t get me wrong they are a cute couple, but BORING AS HELL.
#7: STAR JONES & AL REYNOLDS

StALe was actually kind of popular earlier this year and but they fell off something awful. Ever since she got the boot from ‘The View,’ her celebrity star has died down. I’m pretty sure she will grow tired of playing Al’s beard and get it together.
#8: ICE-T & COCO

These two were kind of popular this year. We even posted up a few candids of them and you guys ate them up. I saw Coco on Jamie Kennedy’s MTV show and she seemed like she had Ice-T’s business end flowing together pretty well. We all know they ain’t having no problems in the bedroom..
#9: KANYE WEST & ALEXIS

Even though Kanye’s sexuality is up for debate (yeah I said it!!), he has been out and about with his fiance Alexis for a few months now. After looking at all the posts, I noticed that they only go shopping or attend fashion events when they go out. Whatever floats their boat, I guess.
#10: NELLY & ASHANTI

I hate to say it, but I love these two together. Kinda like Kelis & Nas, I think they have something. I heard they have been engaged for awhile, nevertheless they were semi-popular on CL this year. That’s BANANAS, huh Ashanti?
HONORABLE MENTIONS
DARREN SHARPER & GABRIELLE UNION

We all fell in love (or hate LOL) with this couple back in May when they were spotted at the Kentucky Derby, but we haven’t seen them out in public since. I heard they are still an item, but Gabby is keeping his fine-ass on lock down. I ain’t mad at you girl!! I would be doing the same thing!
WILL & JADA

Believe it or not, we really didn’t post that many Will & Jada pictures this year. We all love them as a couple, but Jada was the real star on the blog. I know yall remember all those pictures we posted of her in rock-mode. Please make sure to look out for her on the next list..
FLAV & DEELISHIS /// T.I. & TINY

-Everytime we made a post about Flav & Deelishis most of yall commented like crazy. But since they aren’t really a “real” couple they didn’t make the cut.
- T.I. & Tiny had drama earlier this year with that whole Hoopz thing. But they eventually worked everything out and that’s always good to hear.
NOW FOR THE COUPLES WE COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT!
These couples were either boring, annoying, or worse. Therefore most of us really didn’t care about them this year. Who knows about next year though..
CHRISTINA MILIAN & DRE /// KEYSHIA COLE & YOUNG JEEZY

1. BORING! I liked her better with Nick, but Dre is probably a stand-up guy.
2. Rumors about these two have been around for awhile. Everyone knows your dating, (word is Keyshia already got a tat), so why hide? Or do we really care?
TYRA & UNIDENTIFIED BOYFRIEND /// RODNEY & CAMILE

3.Tyra has been dating a lot this year, but recently she was seen with this middle-aged dude. Maybe she finally found the one. Maybe we don’t care..
4. Earlier this year I called them a ‘Z-List Couple’ and I was right. I don’t even know if they are still dating or not. But like I said, I don’t really care.
BIG GIPP & TAMALA JONES /// NICK CANNON & KIM KARDASHIAN

5. Yall straight clowned this couple back when I made a post about them. Do you Tamala.
6. BoooooooooOOOOO! Nick is corny and I still don’t know who that chick is.

They’re the top 10 couples b/c they are the only black couples visible to me. I don’t see any more couple anyways. Will and Jade IMO should’ve been number one.

Kelis and Nas at #3!? Yall suck. They should be number 1. Unlike Jay and B, Nas and Kelis actually acknowlege eachother and talk about their love. I’m sorry but B and Jay are lame and boring as hell and so 3 years ago.

I feel you Angel la. I feel like you made the right list because if you read CL the list is correct, and I can’t wait to see the H.A.M I know for sure that Lil Kim is going to be on there because she look a mess. If you can post on for the celebrity that need to stay away from the LAW.

Good choices with the exception of Ice-T and his whore, Star and GayAL, and Halle and her beau (they are just plain boring!!!). Jay and Bee are my favorite couple, and it should be illegal for 2 people as good looking as Gabby and Darren to get together! That man is sexual chocolate personafied!!! Beautiful!!!

I love your post of the top 10 couples on CL. these dummies don’t or can’t read. like you said before this list was to top 10 couples are the most commented and posted on this website. so you bastards want the list in a different order make your own website and top 10 list. I can’t wait till the top ten H.A.M.’s.
For anyone who doesn’t know who the hell is Darren Sharper. He’s a NFL player. He’s a safety on the Minnesota Vikings. He also has a brother Jamie Sharper who was a linebacker for Seahawks. Now he’s a free agent. Was’nt Gabrielle married to a football player before?

Very accurate list. bring on the h.a.m list. that’s gonna be FIRE!!! and the the break up list would have to contain Whitney & Bobby ’cause I truly thought they would last forever! (singing) “we got something in common…” HA HA.. I thought Nas and Kelis would be ahead of Russell & Kimora but hey… GREAT LIST…

Also i also think that Kanye is a little gay. if he is there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll still like his music. I find it really strange the only places that Kanye and “His Finace” Alexis are seen is at the mall and fashion shows. Plus all his screaming fits at the award shows, seems a little gay to me, lol.
also;
Who the hell is Rodney and Camille (the Z-list couple)? What the hell do they do? Why are they “Famous” for.

I must say that I was out of the loop for awhile when it came to Ashanti and Nelly. I seriously thought the whole thing was a rumor and never gave it a second thought lol. Thanks for posting the pic of them , it was the first time i had ever seen one. I think some of the couples should have been ranked differently, but since its according to blogs, i guess their accurate.

I’m glad he’s with Janet. She seems truly happy!!~ And YES! Darren Sharper is one fine a$$ BROTHA!!! LAWD! Gon Gabby….!!!
Will & Jada are not a fav couple of mine…but I love me some Will Smith - lata 4 Jada. I sho’ll wish they’d do sumthin wit them kids heads! Sheesh!!!

Angel.La I agreed with your careless couples. Some of them like Christina and Dre seem like a shoe on the wrong foot. Ice T and his wifey Coco sure got bump up from the D list to B list this year. Nas and Kelis, Ashanti and Nelly and Janet and JD were my favorite couples CL reported on.

I don’t agree with this list because Jay and B aren’t married so we really don’t know if they gon stay together when they are, but Will and Jada been through it all and have about like 18 children and we see em together all the time so why are they honorably mentioned. And Nas and Kelis been married and throughout all the Carmen bullsh!t Kelis been stickin by his side so why is they that far off the list?

@ #120—I dont think they will. But, then again, I didnt think that Nas’ album would see the light of day under Def Jam……but I wasnt completely wrong, just partially, since it turns out that it is his last album with Sony and so he did a record label collabo on this album.
Oh well, Beyonce and Jay-Z are either going to be the next Stedman and Oprah or the next Nas and Kelis (as far as marital status) IMHO–NOONE out right now will ever be the next Will & Jada—they are in a league of their own—in fact, they are the current Ossie Davis & Ruby Dee.
Anywho, girl, wtf u been???? Will & Jada only have 3 children, 1 from a previous marriage and two 2gether.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY DIDN’T HANG OUT PUBLICLY THIS YEAR, BUT CONSIDERING THAT WHENEVER THEY DID, THEY GOT LIKE 200 COMMENTS, THEY SHOULD BE A LOT HIGHER. AND NELLY IS IN THAT COUPLE, SO IT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE TOP 5.
