Black Celebrity Men

Thank you, Heavenly Father for 'table of contents'! That's the only thing that kept me from having to have to thumb through a Black men's magazine full of nearly naked women in order to get to what I'm really trying to look at: the men!

Anywhoo, NFL's bad ass and wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, Chad OchoCinco is featured the April 2010 issue of BlackMen magazine getting his pose on in a full photo spread in designer threads and accessories by Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Black Label, Y-3, Gucci, Monarchy Jeans and Dolce & Gabbana. When he's not acting up on the sidelines, you can find him on his daily grind expanding his brand. Last fall he released his first book What Football and Life Have Thrown My Way. Chad also has a merchandise line, which includes and OchoCinco phone app, available on his official website OchoCinco.com. He can be seen on the tenth season of Dancing with the Stars beginning Monday, March 22, 2010. He will be paired up with two-time D.W.T.S. champion Cheryl Burke. You can also hit him up on his official Twitter page: twitter.com/OGOchOCinco.

Annnnnnnd it was just revealed today that Chad will be starring in his very own dating reality show on VH1 called The Tournament this summer. According to a press release:

....Chad Ocho Cinco (formerly Chad Johnson) is using his off-season to pursue happiness off the field in his new VH1 reality show The Tournament (working title). The series is a mix of Ocho Cinco’s on-field charisma blended with the drama of the dating pool played out in a bracket-style dating tournament. The 10 episode, one-hour series is set to premiere in July 2010.

The Tournament will start with Ocho Cinco finding his “first 85″ by traveling all over the country meeting women that may be interested in dating him. Then, during the first episode, he will narrow the playing field down to the sweet sixteen - four women from each of the four regions of the country – Northern, Western, Southern and Central Divisions. The sixteen chosen women will be invited to join Ocho Cinco for the rest of the tournament-style dating competition.

Once the competition begins, Ocho Cinco will follow a tournament bracket where each of the ladies will have an opportunity to spend quality time with him while also facing off against one another in double-dates. The winner of each dating face-off will receive a game ball from Ocho Cinco and move on to the next round of the tournament, while the loser goes home. Ultimately the sweet sixteen will be narrowed down to eight and then the final four. In the end, the championship date between the two remaining women will result in Ocho Cinco awarding his chosen love the coveted Championship Ring. Hopefully, she turns out to be his greatest catch this season!
