love t.i. and tiny….love bee and jay…waiting on diddy

what Happen to ashanti and nelly! they did alot this year, they never get the credit they deserve, and they are way beta than most of those boring couples !

@ 2. Did you even read the full post before commenting? They are featured on Page 2 in the honorable mention section. Geez!

Yeah Jay and Beyonce are still in love and going strong.
Nelly and Ashanti are so cute togther.
My only thing is other than Nas & Kelis,Usher & Tameka and Will and Jada, some of other these folks need to be tying the knot….

i just love jay-z and beyonce

Love Jay & Bee…I love the photos of them dancing on a deck (I believe it was in Paris). They looked so happy together. It reminded me of me & my man.

Neva had a problem with Usher & Tameka, still dont.

Angel you aint neva lied “Ride or Die luv.”

And are Ashanti & Nelly still together?

oops I pushed the submit comment button by mistake.

agree with no#4 Ashanti & Nelly are a cute couple, I haven’t seen any pictures of them together lately. Yes I know this is for the year but I hope CL will post some new ones soon.

Everybody else NO Comment.

Awwww how sweet….

Okay I am not writing my comment again but what is the Freakins comment on Will and Jada, please do not say its about that swigger rumor which is completely false. It started after that Oprah interview where they talked about having boyfriends and girlfriends and openly permitting each other to have them, but they did not mean literally. They meant they say it to one another which permits them to be honest about their attraction to other people, despite being married, but they do not act on it. I actually watched that Oprah episode so I heard it straight from Will and Jada’s mouth not some b.s. gossip. Come on lets support the positive marriages in the Black Community.

the one has spoken….NOW SHUT THE BACK DOOR!!!

Usher and Tameka should have been number one.They had so many rumors flying around and I believe a fansite was being shut down.

Jay and Bee are the biz I believe they are married. T.I. and Tiny are ride or die he better marry her after he clears up his situation.
Nelly and Ashanti looks they have tons of fun.

All of this is beautiful, it is amazing, gowing up in London there was a time when you NEVER EVER saw black couples in the media be it mainstream or not.

I know the images we see are just that images, but these are still snap shots of the lives of our people for the world to see, good bad and ugly and I love it all.

What ever you thing about us remember we are one of the most coveted races, our style, our looks, our music, our expressions, our culture, our men, but they will never say it. ( a London perspective)

I LOVE HOW PRIVATE J & B R, U STAY IN LOVE LONGER THAT WAY, USHER IS DOWN FOR HIS WOMAN & I LOVE IT, TI & TINY, I CAN RELATE, MAMA IM IN LOVE WIT A THUG, LOL, ALEXIS & KANYE, MAN I JUST LOVE THEM!, SHANTI & NELLY R SO FLY, NAS & KELIS R DA REAL, MY FAV!

Uhm I don’t really agree with the Mel B. and “Fraud” Belafontae one. But I enjoy the list.

Jay and B are my fav couple as well ! Love Nelly and Ashanti!

Congrats to the couples who made it legal.

great list again.. love nas and kelis

i agree you sum it up!

Congrats to all of the couples. Black love, and love in general, is a beautiful thing.

Serena and Jackie??? Odd but cool. Diddy and his chick amuse me. As much ish as she has stirred up dealing with him, it would seem like I would remember her name…
I love Jigga and B and Will and Jada. Beautiful black love right there! I also like Janet and J and Ashanti and Nelly. I think we will be seeing a lot more out of Ashanti and Nelly in the future, and I think Janet and J are at their peak since neither wants to get married. Everyone else on this list just amuses me, and I am sure they will continue to amuse me in ‘08. Drama is undeniable with this list!

@ The One I am so glad you said something about the Will and Jada rumor of them having an open marriage. Its sad that some one ran with what they really said and made it into something totally different. As if the only way a strong black couple can stay married is to have open affairs. Anyhow I love Bee & Jay so thats my comment on them But I do have to agree with Alicia Keys when she said she wonders how people can get pics of someone in the middle of the ocean if you dont tell them your going out there? Hmmm

I would have never expected to click the link and see Jay Z and Beyonce first… How did you make such a difficult decision?
I mean, deciding not only that Barack and Michelle Obama shouldn’t be first up but that they shouldn’t be mentioned at all…well, that’s such hard-won genius.

Janet and the oompah loompah should of been in the top list, not honorable mentions, but I digress.

Look at these black power couples! Love it!

I looooves me some Jaz-z and Beyonce. I hope it lasts.

That last picture of Kanye and Alexis (with him in the camel-colored jacket and her in the black shirt) … I love it. The look in his eyes when he looks at her just melts my heart. You can see how much he loves her just by the way he looks at her.

I must admit, I thought it was a bit odd at first, but Nelly and Ashanti are soo cute together. They seem to just put smiles on one another’s faces.

As strange as the Kelis/Nas combo sounded when it started … they seem to make it work. Congrats to them.

Tiny is a true ride or die chick but I wish the couples luck

Awww! That’s soo special!! Love is a beautiful thing, and they are all beautiful couples! Congrats to longivity of the relationship.

My favorite ‘07 couple is Kanye and Alexis…you can tell they truly vibe which each other and I LOVE it!!!

And Ashanti and Nelly are Hip-Hop’s Cutest Couple…they really make me say awwwww lol.

Opps I meant with each other!!! A few days off from work and I already am slacking on the typing skills lol.

I love Bey & Jay together I’m hoping for a wedding in “08″ between these two.
Ashanti & Nelly they are nice together as well.

Ush, moving along too much drama there to mention couple.

YES T.I. & Tiny are the new Bonnie & Clyde I swear ppl can talk, but they are truly the couple to watch in “08″

Kanye & Kimora with there partners are very cool to me I love it…
Especially Kimora!!

Will & Jada the new Hollywood couple bump what you heard…

Jermaine & Janet marriage in “08″ yes!!!!

Great selection kudos to the Angel…..

Jayonce, Kanye and Alexis and Nas and Kelis are the flyest most stylish couples out there.

PLEASE make Diddy GO AWAY!! He’s a loverat and im sick of him constantly in the news.

Ashanti and Nelly are my favorite. They always look like they have fun together and they look good together. They really are a cute couple.

Ashanti and Nelly did alot this year? The only thing they did was release flop singles and show up at events.

Good list!
Have to agree with #2, though - where were Nelly & Ashanti? I love the two of them together. They always seem to have fun with each other.
Diddy & Kim - Sometimes it’s hard to let go of That Guy!
T.I. & Tiny - I feel you, Tiny. Thugs are hard to love, but you gotta love ‘em anyway! Hang in there with your man.

Hey Beauty Q.T. how are u?

Whasup DAME? I’m ok today. Busy as HELL at work! Trying to keep up with the CL posts! lol

awww black love is soooo beautiful but the thing about Jay and Bey u can tell she is so into him but he is just like walking ahead looking bored all the time like he aint sweating her i don’t know most niccas would be all on Btip but maybe that is why she so crazy about his fugly azz i would like to see him kiss her or hold her hand at least ONCE in the relationship i tell you big d*cks will make a sista caught up trust me i know LOL

Janet and jermaine
Nelly and Ashanti
Will and jada
kanye and Alexis

Far as J&J(Janet&jermaine)marriage so many people is waiting for them to get married but wait if they get divorce the same people is going to be talking about what went wrong. Divorce is not fun at all

Beautiful black people. Here.s to newer better couples in 08 lol @ #39

BLACK LOVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie & Clyde still riding! Hov & Bee -just love it!

i must say i love reading CL! and i LOVE this article. i did a simular one on my blog a couple of months back…how neat! anyway i MUST agree…t.i. and tiny are my FAVE and that girl is ride or die. she sticks by that man thru it ALL. wow. i pray to God that i can be loving to my man. and Tip loves her too…he brings her to every event…and keeps her close by his side. and then i just am smitten my kanye and alexis…that kind of love…i tell ya it brings my heart joy. you can see it in the way he (Kanye) looks at ol girl. to be loved like that is the stuff that dreams of made of! and boooooooo on diddy…he needs to grow on up. all that skirt chasing bcz he’s rich and outta control wit $$ is old. it’s time to be a man in 2009. bey and j…yawn. bored of them….if they get married then it’ll b fun again! but who cares about fun…it’s their relationship, not ours right?? tameka and usher…i agree leave them laone damnit! they should be happy with what they chose…marriage is hard enuff so the public should chill out. how would u deal with everyone on ur back and all in ur marriage. CL yall do a great job with not gossing about people badly. you report the news in a fun way and it is popular without giving lots of diss to those folks out there. good job. happy new year!

Off-topic for a sec. for some REAL news.Benazhir Bhutto was killed by a suicide bomber who shot her-then blew himself up. ISLAM once again shows itself to be ASS-BACKWARD.Scarier still is that these people have nuclear weapons.

Tameka always looks like a hot %ss mess I hope the baby looks like Usher for the sake of his mom!

Man that LAST photo of Kanye & Alexis is the business. That is REALLY what love does & SHOULD look like. (Grabs tissue box, sniff sniff, sniff)

I love Jay & Bey together… they’re hot!

oh, I didn’t comment on the others:

Cupids arrow must’ve struck Usher when he was alone with Tameka, but if she’s what makes him happy, then I’ll leave em alone.

Ye and Lexi, >>CL-iens….have yall ever had an itch & can’t scratch it?? Thats what they are to me…

TI & Tiny, are the realest! What they have is the BUSINESS!! I love them together…

Diddy & Kim….rolling my eyes, shakin my head, kissin my teeth on her…she’s a beard…and CL, you hit it on the head….they are real close to their PRs

Mel & her beau are annoying to look at to me….whatever with them

Beauty Q.T. Lol I am a CL junkie.

I commend Usher he really loves Tameka

YEA I LIKE T.I. AND TINY AND KANYE AND ALEXIS. I’M TIRED OF JAY AND BEE.

Of course, Bey and Jay have BEEN THE IT COUPLE SINCE 2002. GET UP ON IT CONCRETE.

ALEXIS LOOKS LIKE A MAN AND KANYE IS A BUM. THEY BOTH COMBINED DON’T HAVE MORE STYLE THAN JADA PINKETT HAS IN HER PINKY FINGER.

PLEASE STOP IT MAKING KANYE AND ALEXIS STYLISH - HE’S BORDER LINE LIBERACHI AND NO ONE IS INFLUENCED BY HIS STYLE - THEY’RE LAUGHING AT IT MORE THAN TRYING TO COP IT.

AGAIN, BEYONCE AND JAY - HOTTEST AND MOST STYLISH COUPLE GOING.

I just love seeing Nelly and Ashanti together. They seem so “regular” to me. You see them and then you don’t. You get the feeling that they have not HIRED photographers to be present whenever they are at events, vacations, etc. It just seems real. Hope we see a lot more of these two in 08. Oh, and it also helps that they are two very attractive people. If they get married they will be some beautiful babies. Just love them…

Dr. Funk—-I’m watching the situation in Pakistan now..It is soo sad. Fmr PM Bhutto was an inspirational and powerful woman.

I should have know Jay and Bee would be couple of the year even though they won’t even acknowledge their relationship. That top pic is one a few pics I have ever seen of them being somewhat intimate. This after what 5 years of dating. Why is that????

TI and Tiny are my fave celeb couple. I for one think they are a cute couple.

I don’t think Diddy and Kim are just for the camera. Unfortunately I think she truly loves him, it’s sad when the other person doesn’t feel the same.

We’ve had a break from Usher and Tameka. I’m actually starting to miss them. I can’t wait to see the pics of the new baby.
Kanye and Alexis seem cool! Mel B and what’s his name…..ehhh!

@ 57 who knows, maybe because it’s THEIR relationship and they prefer doing certain things in PRIVATE! J and B always.

WHAT HAVE JAY AND BEYONCE DONE FOR BLACK COMMUNITY..WAITING FOR AN ANSWER..IT AMAZING ME, HOW YOU BLACK PEOPLE SEE THESE TWO AS ONE OF THE HOTTEST COUPLES IN 07…MY FIRST PICK AND ONLY PICK WOULD HAVE BEEN WILL AND JADA…WILL AND JADA HAVE DONE A LOT FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY FROM MARCHING IN THE STREET I N SOME CITIES WHERE CRIME IS BAD TO JADA VISITNG CITIES TO PROMOTE HER CHILDREN BOOK, AS WELL AS, DONATING MONEY TO HELP CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS IN DIFFERENT STATES…

ALSO, LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS WATCHING ET THEY HAD THE HOTTEST COUPLES FOR 07..AND I WAS SURPRISE TO FIND OUT THAT THESE WHITE COUPLES HAVE DONE A LOT FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITIES FROM HELPING WITH AIDS TO HELPING OUT IN NEW ORLEANS..(J AND BEYONCE WAS NOT ON THE LIST..I WASN’T SURPRISE)

BUT, YOU BLACK FOLKS, STILL HAVE IT IN YOUR MINDS, THAT THE HOTTEST COUPLES ARE THE ONES WHO TAKES THE EXPENSIVE VACATIONS, THE HOTTEST CLOTHERS AND BIG DIAMONDS.

NO WONDER OUR BLACK KIDS ARE SOOOOO LOST IN THE WORLD…….

Jay and Bee are definitely a nice couple and I wouldn’t be surprised they are already married and we end up up finding out that they have been married for years lol . Aren’t Kanye and Alexis about to get married soon? They are cute.

Usher and Tameka - all that woman did was sercure her a lifetime ATM machine and Usher was stupid and fell for it. I just don’t like her at all They should be at the very bottom of the list

Will and Jada should have been #1 I just love seeing them together. it’s beautiful.

Ashanti should of been reconized! Why Honorable mention? Werent they #10 Last Year? They are 1 of the HOTTEST couples out rite now!!!

Some of yall are way too infactuated with these celebrities. How can you love somebody you don’t know? How can you be so sure a relationship is “real” based on pictures?

The King and Queen of course Jay and Bey.

LOL@ Diddy and Kim, with they on and off again relationship.

I just LOVE the way Kanye is looking at Alexis. lmfao. He looks so in love, and it’s beautiful!!! Definitely, my favorite couple of ‘07.

#59 You’re asking that question? You need to be Ashamed of yourself. I’ll give you this and you look up the rest…

Jay saved MILLIONS of kids by PAYING FOR and INSTALLING water pumps in overseas countries and the S.CARTER Foundation GAVE OUT THE USUAL SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS FOR COLLEGE and HE STILL PLAYED SANTA FOR MARCY PROJECTS…

Beyonce ALONG with Kelly, through THEIR FOUNDATION OPENED THE DOORS ON THEIR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROJECT FOR KATRINA FAMILIES, SOLANGE for her birthday party made people DONATE FOOD FOR THE HOMELESS AS ENTRY as did Beyonce GAVE OUT CONCERT TICKETS IN EXCHANGE FOR FOOD DONATIONS IN 2 OR 3 CITIES ON HER TOUR STOP. BEYONCE ALSO HELPED TO ADMINISTER ORAL VACCINES FOR DYING KIDS ON HER TOUR STOP. THAT WAS BIG BECAUSE SHE DID IT WITHOUT GLOVES AND TOOK COULD’VE BEEN INFECTED HERSELF. NOT TO MENTION THE WORK SHE “SILENTLY” DOES OF AIDS CHARITIES WHICH SHE’S BEEN DOING FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE HER UNCLE DIED FROM AIDS.

You can start with that….

P.S. Before you go glorifying WHITE PEOPLE FOR their BLACK COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS - recognize that’s it’s more of a publicity stunt and what’s in fashion. WHITE PEOPLE GO ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD TRENDS AND CURRENTLY IT’S “TRENDY” IN HOLLYWOOD TO HELP THE UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE FOR SOOOOOO LONG THEY HAVEN’T!!!!

Honorable mentioin to Angelina, Brad, Ben Affleck and George who were COMMITTED TO THESE PROJECTS BEFORE THE “TREND”, BUT BECAUSE OF THE “KUDO’s” THEY GOT, THEY MADE IT POPULAR TO HELP.

I think Serena is no longer with Jackie, I heard she has been hangin out with my boy Common. Hmm hmmm…

u alreadi kno jay & beyonce the most powerful couple and the list is really hott to def but jay and bee r # 1 and whoever makin the rumors that they’re married please stop because whenever they do its a wrap!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree # 64 (REAL TALK), I was about mention all of that. People do your research before you call yourself trying to call someone out………you come off looking stupid.

Nas and Kelis is my all time favorite!

I love Ashanti and Nelly because no matter what drama yall put out….Nelly don’t say a thing!

Jay & B are great
Jada & Will is a trip and when you see them on the red carpet together they always tease each other and lauqh about it.That’s why I love them! lol
Mel & that Belafonte dude was the P.D.A

I think seeing this post really made me want to commend TI & Tiny for having a real relationship. Going through hard times, reaping the benefits of good times, coming so far from where they started and still remaining in each other’s arms IS TRUE LOVE. I think Tip should give Tiny what she is due, and i ain talking about no damn promise/engagement ring! “The Ceremony” should be the name of his next album!

Jay Z and Beyonce are still a cute couple

Nelly and Ashanti are a cute couple if their relationship is real and not for publicity purposes only

Janet and Jermaine are still holding it down

But……I still think what Nas and Kelis share is very beautiful and since they are MARRIED, It would have been nice to see them as the #1 couple of the year. However, i know that it eventually comes down to whoever had the most paparazzi shots over a period of 12 months, so congradulations to Jay and B for their accomplishment of that!

Ashanti & Nelly is my #1 Celebrity couple reasson being b/c they keep it real regardless of the fact they should of been in the top ten these blog sites are so full of it really they post who they want why no let the viewers judge and then post it I don’t know who the worst mediatakeout or you guys I use to come on here often but for some reason i choose to go to kevipod blog site cause he do keeps it real he recognizes all not some. But I agree Will & Jada should have been #1 really

REGARDING JAY Z & BEYONCE- I gots to add, I’m glad BLACK LOVE has sure pervailed, everytime they are seen out together haters are sooooooooooo quick to judge and so quick to make up rumours about them spilting. Well let me just add there MUST be something real between because despite the fake ass rumors they have stuck through it all. Now that’s what I call commitment. JAYONCE LOVE!!!

i luv jay-z and beyonce! i’m happy for them!

still upset bout usher and tameka, maybe i’ll get over it one day

i feel bad for t.i., he’s in denial

hope kim REALLY moves on this time

kayne and ol’ girl—whateva

looks like mel b. got her groove back, don’t know why she felt the need to get married though

nelly and shanti make a cute couple

jermaine and janet—oh well

will and jada still thee power couple

kimora and her ex are tryin’ too hard to make each other jealous

serena and jackie? looked like jackie was more into it than serena. hey jackie, give me a call instead…

thankfully i can start and end this blog on a black love positive note….nas and kelis

I’m really confused as to why people think sitting in handcuffs for some one is love. Come on people… Wowo
