Common

One thing our readers have in “common” is a mutual adoration for this man. We’ve watched the conscious rapper evolve from a cutie pie with crazy skills on the mic into a globetrotting gentleman with a remarkable onscreen presence and undeniable swagger. Common, you “Used to Love Her,” but that’s okay, we’ll always love you just the same.

Tyrese

Outspoken Cali-bred crooner Tyrese Gibson, can sometimes get into trouble with his female fans by being too opinionated on dating dos and don’ts for their tastes. Say what you will about his opinions, but if loving this R&B bad boy is wrong, we don’t want to be right.

DB Woodside

Calling all the Single Ladies fans. Good news: Star DB Woodside’s character Malcolm may be the object of two women’s affection on the show, but in real life, he’s flying solo for now. Click that “like” button if you’d give anything to feel those lips on yours. Ladies, does this man ever age? He just gets sexier with age.

Tank

With his puppy dog eyes and that silky smooth voice, we can’t help but fall in love all over again each time TNT bandmate Tank takes the stage. The romantic-minded sweetie pie hasn’t found his dream girl just yet. Would you apply to be his leading lady?

Lamman Rucker

Once rumored to be dating fellow actress and musician Jill Scott, actor Lamman Rucker hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone since. “I think one of the components of ultimate fulfillment is partnership,” the sexy, single bachelor said in a recent interview (conducted by his ex!). “Things aren’t nearly as fun without someone to share it with.”  So, go ahead and gush over the tall, dark and handsome actor, it’s cool. We sure can’t get enough. With those bedroom eyes it’s hard not to melt, right?

Luke James

He’s the sexy new singer/songwriter on the scene with the voice of an angel and a heart of gold. Luke James’ first single, “I Want You,” dominated the airwaves and quickly becoming the 2012 summer anthem for unapologetic love. Seriously, ladies, his falsetto is out of this world, and last we checked he’s not seeing anyone special and starring in new holiday movie The Black Nativity, so get to the theater and get to know Mr. James better now.

Ricky Whittle

British born actor Ricky Whittle’s character Charles on Single Ladies kept us drooling and wanting more last season and now his American fan base is growing fast. He also joins the cast of holiday film Black Nativity. After a rocky breakup back home in London, he’s living in Los Angeles and hoping to make a fresh start. Right about now, don’t you wish you lived there too? (Wink!)
