Black Celebrity Men

I have a habit of keeping just about any magazine I've ever bought (or subscribed to), right? So last week as I was going through them to see if I could find any throwback photo shoots of Black Celebrity Men I cam across an old Essence magazine issue (October 2006) with Reggie Bush in its Do Right Men feature. At first I paid it no mind, then I caught the part of the page where it says, 'Why he loves Black Women.' I read it and was convinced that the 'sister' he was referring to was his own mama because we have yet to see him hand-in-hand with a 'sister'....who is not his mother.

As promised, here's Essence magazine's February 2010 issue featuring their top 10 sexiest men that I said I would post up for you all. HERE.). With the exception of having Idris, Lance, Maxwell and LL Cool J. on the list, I, for one, am not impressed. (Read my gripe concerning this particular issue by clicking I've never even heard of at least two of the men on the list.

Inside the magazine, it says 'There's nothing like a dream lover. He's always sexy and romantic, with movie star good looks and the chiseled body of an athlete. Plus, he's got all the right moves. Channeling her inner bad girl, our own Jeannine Amber spins ten naughty tales starring some of our favorite men to curl up with, if only in our minds.' I don't know about all of that. What I do know is if I had the chance to compose the list, it would be much different! Jeannine placed actor David McIntosh on her list; and that's fine. Whatever tickles her pickle. But for me, there is something very unsexy about a man with that many tattoos on his torso. No sir! Especially around the lower abdomen area! Ugh! But I have to commend her for including my Puerto-Rican Prettyboy/Cuban Cutie Adam Rodriguez on the list! Yes, sir! LOL!

Anyhoo, I posted my favorite picks on the front page of this post.

New Orleans Saints football player Reggie Bush and his attention-whoring girlfriend Kim Kardashian were ranked #32 on Zimbio.com's 100 hottest couples list. Their rank was based on their levels of success, attractiveness, popularity and staying power. I literally laughed out loud when I read about what Zimbio.com thought of their relationship...and then I laughed out loud even louder when I read about how Kim was so 'honored' to be ranked on their list. Either Kim couldn't comprehend that they were bashing her OR she just chose to overlook it. Check out how they ranked below:

Success.
Kim got about $5 million from Vivid Entertainment for her sex tape scandal, but that was back in 2007. Since then, she's relied on bits like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Dancing With the Stars, and Disaster Movie. Reggie, on the other hand, won a Heisman in 2005 and is set to earn $2.6 million in 2009 from the New Orleans Saints. By 2011, he'll be raking in 11.8 million dollars a year.

Staying Power.
This couple has been together since 2007, and engagement rumors are constantly surrounding them. Unlike many couples, they don't have a huge laundry list of high-profile relationships, though Kim famously dated R&B singer Ray J. It seems like things could go either way for these two, but the tension between Reggie's shyness and Kim's lust for media attention could get nasty. For the moment, he's trying to play along.

Compatibility.
Kim's a free-spirited Libra, in contrast to Reggie, who's a soulful Pisces. Although they attract each other at first, Bush may get sick of Kardashian's need to be constantly adored. Sometimes astrology is eerie, no?

She was honored by all of that? Jesus, please be a bucket of common sense and pour it over her head! Maybe she and window-licking Reggie are meant to be together because Lord knows they're both the most simpleminded couple in this industry.

In the meantime and in between time, Mariah and Nick Cannon came in at #54; Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and Jay-Z and Beyonce were ranked #6 and #2, respectively.
