Valentine’s Day is today, so that means love is in the air. And while a substantial amount of fellas manage to be boo’ed up this time of year, some are still riding solo—happily of course. While you might not have a special lady this year, you’re probably not void of a few V-Day celebrity date fantasies. Men can dream too, right?!

There are a certain group of celebrity women that are the perfect eye candy on ANY day of the year, but on Valentine’s Day, they seem to look even better. Here’s our list of the top ten most eligible celebrity bachelorettes  (in no particular order):

1. Jessica White
If her appearances in Trey Songz video for “Neighbors Know My Name” wasn’t enough to make you want her, you might want to check your pulse. After years as a model on the runways of Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren, the New York native has served as one of the faces of Maybelline cosmetics since 2007.

2. Desiree Rogers (pictured above)
She’s stylish, intelligent, and helping Ebony and Jet magazines go from media dinosaurs to publications to watch. The former White House Social Secretary turned CEO of Johnson Publishing Company, has a knack for turning around businesses, and looking pretty darn good while doing it.

3. Taraji P. Henson
There’s an around-the-way-girl persona that makes Taraji a real catch. Yes she’s an Academy Award nominated actress, but she seems like the kind of girl who wouldn’t mind hanging out and watching the game, or going to see a good concert—floor seats or not.

4. Kelly Rowland
“I don’t wanna feel my legs,” sang Kelly Rowland on her chart topping 2011 single “Motivation.” So that means you’ll have to put in a little work. The former member of Destiny’s Child, in recent years has embraced her sexuality even showing off a little skin on the album cover for I Am Here.  Read the rest of this entry »

1. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Star Slams Will Smith
Major family drama between Will Smith and his Aunt Viv! Fifteen years after The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air went off the air, Smith’s former co-star Janet Hubert (aka the original Vivian Banks) is lashing out at the super star. Hubert says she’ll never join her castmates for a reunion–either an official one, or impromtu like the one that took place last week.

“There will never be a reunion … as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith,” Hubert tells TMZ. “He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word.” [MORE]

2. Eric Benét and Robert De Niro Are Dads Again

Is it me, or is it Kelly Rowland’s year (minus Beyonce’s spotlight stealing pregnancy announcement, of course)?! With her latest album, Here I Am, steaming up the charts, the former Destiny’s Child member is finally getting her due shine, and she has never looked better. The secret? Her extenuated cheek bones (maybe that’s a stretch, but her make-up is flawless).

Contouring your face to enhance your facial features can do wonders for your look. It brightens and conceals at the same time. Sounds impossible? Well, here are a few simple steps to achieving Kelly’s sculpted look.

1. Apply base foundation all over face.

2. Using a foundation powder 2 shades darker than your base color, lightly sweep just beneath your cheek bones with a fluffy brush. (trouble finding your cheek bone? Make the fish face)

3. Using the same brush, lightly shade just around your hairline and on the sides of your chin.

4. Final step, take a bronze highlighter and sweep it on top of your cheek bone where the light reflects on your face. (Remember to use soft and subtle sweeps to avoid heavy application)

With this beauty secret (matched with killer hair and great outfit), you’ll be somebody’s motivation soon enough!

After the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards R&B singer Kelly Rowland was spotted hanging out at the 4th Annual House of Hype party at the SLS Hotel and revealed that she knew about Beyonce pregnancy for quite sometime now. “I have known for quite a while, and she’s happy, and Jay is happy, and that’s all that counts.”

According to an inside source, Beyonce is a little over three months in her pregnancy. Rumor has it she wasn’t going to make the announcement at last night’s awards show, but excitement got the best of her and she couldn’t hold the secret in any longer.

“I think she’ll be an incredible mother, because she’s always been motherly. I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother. And I just think it’s going to be so natural for her. Its natural for her now,” added Rowland.

The scent, which hits Macy’s department stores exclusively next month, is the female companion to Diddy’s popular “I Am King” cologne.

According to Diddy and company: “The woman who wears Empress is a force of nature, powerful, enchanting and uniquely feminine. Her presence captivates and her words inspire, compelling those around her to her cause. Men long to be by her side, women want to know her secrets.”

Her involvement as the face of the line will include print ads and television campaigns, that will be released soon.
