Yes Jill Marie Jones is a talented, multifaceted actress. But, she will always be known for her role as the loose-lipped bougie Toni Marie Childs on the popular sitcom “Girlfriends.”

We caught up with the actress on an episode of The Hot 10, and we got her to slide into “The Hot Seat.” Check out this video as she dishes on her favorite actress, favorite movie, and more.

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 »

ÄLSKLIG glass vase, IKEA ($9.99)

With the economy still on a downward spiral, decking the halls this holiday might seem like a difficult—if not impossible—task. Yes you want to give your spouse something special, but before you drown yourself in more debt by opening up high-interest rate credit cards, consider these gift ideas that all are $10 or less.

1. Älsklig mouth-blown glass vase, IKEA ($9.99)
A purple mouth-blown glass vase is the perfect mix of funk and functionality for any decor loving diva (or divo). While its low in price, the sleek design and color are high on style. Who says urban living was drab?

2. Homedics Octo-Node Mini Massager, TARGET ($9.99)
A good massage never killed anyone, but the $70 average cost for a 30-minute massage by a professional can kill a pocketbook. This mini-massager allows you to take matters into your own hands. Who knows, it could make for a little yuletide fun with your honey.

3. Venus Series Holiday Gift Set Caddy with Free Allure Subscription, Wal-Mart ($9)
Every woman deserves a spa day. So why not bring the spa to the comfort of your home? This holiday gift-set is complete with everything you need to have you feeling relaxed and your skin smooth to the touch. Oh, and the free year-long subscription to Allure Magazine (the ultimate beauty publication) is definitely an added bonus.

4. Alphabet Mugs, West Elm ($6)
Monogramming anything can be pricey. But these lettered mugs will make it seem like you spent a lot of time and money on personalizing your gift. You can elevate it by filling it up with the recipients favorite holiday treat or candy.

5. Yesterday I Criedby Iyanla Vanzant, Amazon.com ($7.99)
Iyanla has never done anyone wrong, okay maybe Oprah, but we digress. This classic title from the motivational speaker and best-selling author is a celebration of living and loving, and the perfect holiday read as we move into the new year.
