2008 Hottest Couples #1 President Elect and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama

There was no way any other couple was going to top this list. When I look at these two together I see love. Real love, not the modern fake manufactured love. The looks that they share on down to fist bump is just who they are. WE got the fist bump, WE understood what it meant, and WE felt proud to have them standing there, clinching the Democratic nomination. I love the fact that they are equally intelligent. Even though I am a tad bit jealous of Michelle's hair I love them. Most definetly "Change WE can believe in". Regardless to Fox News ignorance, Obama and his "baby mamma" (as they so ignorantly called her) are the real deal. No one can argue with it.

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES #2 DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY THEIR NAMES

They perform together, vacation togther, sit court-side together, and even catch up on the latest new and gossip together. But more importanty last year this couple brought in a combined total of $162 million dollars. Beating out top a-listers such as Brad and Angelina and even Will and Jada. They are by far the undisputed king and queen of hip-hop/r&b. You can say what you will about the two apart but you can't deny that together they make one hell of a beast. You know little about the relationship and they love it that way. They decided to tie the knot in a private ceremony this year making their 6 year relationship more solid. Have your way with the comment section, they are still the 2nd hottest couple of the year.

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES # 3 Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith

This couple is one of my all time favorite couples ever. They always seem genuine, loving, and Will knows to be quiet and let Jada run the show. LOL. Just like with Duane and Tisha there has been all kinds of rumors of them swinging with other couples and even the rumor that Will and Duane were more than friends. I seriously doubt that he or Jada would let the other sleep with someone else. They got married in 1997 and according to California's state law she is now entitled to half of his dough if they divorce. I don't think that will happen though, they have a really solid close knit family. This couple as well as their children are on their way to dominate the silver screen. Will is the only actor to have 8 consecutive movies that grossed more than $100 million. They were the number two couple on Forbes top power couples of 2008, only to be beaten by Suitestl's number two hot couple of 2008. Stay tuned for the top two!!

2008 Hottest Couples #4 Angela Basset & Courtney B. Vance

An outstanding actress who is still underrated, Angela has been on the scene for a while. The secret to her great look has to be the love that shares with actor Courtney B. Vance and raising their twins. Whatever the case may be these two make our list because of their solid love and longevity has survived a 11 year marriage in hollywood. They have a wonderful book "Friends A Love Story" that is a must read for everyone and recently shared the screen together as husband and wife on ER.

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES #5 MARY J. AND KENDU

This couple always makes me smile. I feel like I grew up with Mary even though she is older than me, I guess you can call her my big cousin. As with many others I rocked to the heartbroken Mary. When my heart was hurting it was nothing for me to play My Life cd and just let her take my mind to another level. I can shamefully admit that at first I was hesitant to the "happy Mary" but I now know that her and Kendu is most definetly a good thing. Every woman wants to be loved and happy, I am glad that she feels complete now. Ok so some of you have been doubting the list, you can't deny this one right here. I dare you try. Lol!

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES: #6 DUANE MARTIN AND TISHA CAMPBELL

This right here is love. Over a decade and still going. The second picture at the top is during her Martin days. Even though people love to gossip about Duane swinging the other way, Tisha stands by her man. You can't tell her nothing and I don't blame her. So basically she is saying kiss her tail because she knows that her man is all man and the only man for her. I wish them a million more decades together.

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES # 08 Q AND DAWN RICHARDS AND #7 MELINDA WILLIAMS AND D-NICE

I must admit that I am a reality show junkie. Making The Band 4 is a show that I had to watch every Monday. Yeah I could go a lifetime without the extraness that comes from Puff, Diddy, Puffy, Sean, or whatever he goes by these days. However, in watching that show I found a love that I was really interested in. Dawn from Danity Kane and Q from Day 26 love seemed genuine in the midst of all the other scripted stuff. Hopefully they will make it because watching him sing You Are So Beautiful to her brought tears to my eyes.

We all know and love Malinda Williams from various different movies and my all time favorite Soul Food the series. She use to be married to the Mekhi Phifer according to reports he wasn't being a good man, so she got herself a new one. You have to be really young not to know D-Nice. I knew plenty of girls who had a crush on this 90's rapper. He's a D.J. now and the two recently got married. We here at Suite STL do not discriminate, you don't have to be an A-List star, sometimes the sweetest loves are not in the spotlight as much.

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES: # 09 CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNA

You can't deny it, we have all been here. Nothing like puppy love. The first relationship were you can truly say that you love that person and mean it. I love Chris and Rihanna, they stick to themselves we never see her dancing drunk on top of tables or him in strip clubs throwing stacks of money. Simply put, they are just cute. They work for me. What do you think?

2008 HOTTEST COUPLES: #10 SERENA WILLIAMS AND COMMON

With 2009 vastly approaching, the who's who for 2008 will start popping up left and right. Not to be outdone we here at Suite Stl will be doing various different hottest of 08 lists. Each day we will post hottest couple, song, style, and any other we can think of. We will start the countdown with one of 2008 hottest couples;

When I see this couple together I have to constantly chant to myself "I am not jealous of Serena, I am not jealous". Truthfully though I think this couple is a good look. A couple of years ago Serena was quoted as saying she was done with black men, because of the games they play. Well she must have been dealing with black "boys". There is a huge difference between a man and boy and I am sure Common has helped her realize that.
