Kim Kardashian has been a mainstay in the headlines for nearly five years. Her relationship with Ray J led to her becoming one of the biggest stars in reality television. Kim Kardashian has made a name for herself due to her relationships with black celebrities. Long before Kim Kardashian, however, Coco had made a name for herself.

Coco rose to fame as the girlfriend of Ice-T. Longtime fans of Ice saw this as him selling out. As a gangsta rapper for so many years, he had begun taking film roles as police officers. Given the cruel lyrics he made about white people, no one expected Ice-T of all people to have a white girlfriend. Despite all that was against them, the couple has made it.

Ice-T and Coco have defeated all of the odds against them and have become one of the top couples in black entertainment. Kim Kardashian was one half of the power couple with Reggie Bush for years. However, the two broke up permanently in 2010. Since then, Kim has been linked to Kanye West. Earlier this year, Kim Kardashian announced she had begun dating Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets. Surviving the rumor of backsliding with Ray J, Kim Kardashian is preparing to marry Humphries.

With the wedding set for a couple of days from now, Coco gave Kim Kardashian advice on how to keep the marriage going strong. She advised Kim Kardashian to have sex and lots of it.

When Kreyshawn first made national headlines, many people took her music as a joke. Some even felt offended by her lyrics. The West Coast hip hop scene originated in the late 1980s, full of young black men, rapping about every controversial topic possible. Kreyshawn has emerged as the total opposite of this.

While most people were offended by Kreyshawn and unimpressed by her style. Drake was the first person to come to her defense, in the middle of last month. The Young Money rapper admitted he liked her music and he even called Kreyshawn a cutie pie. Because of those comments, many feel as if Drake has a thing for her.

For a little over a month, there have been rumors about Drake being involved with Rihanna. Before he made it big, Drake and Rihanna briefly dated. Their romance did not work out, but the two ended up becoming best friends. Because they remained friends, the two still made appearances with each other, which fueled rumors.

However, in recent months, the two have appeared closer and closer. While they still continue to deny their relationship rumors, other people are believers. Kreyshawn said she is not dating Drake, because she would not take away Rihanna's boo.

Kobe Bryant defends LeBron James against critics

By Sports Authority

The Miami Heat added Chris Bosh and LeBron James to their roster to help their struggling star, Dwyane Wade. While James, and two-time NBA Finals MVP, Kobe Bryant, were winning 50-plus games each year and having deep playoff runs, Wade's teams were winning 40-plus games and losing early in the playoffs.

While LeBron James and his teams did well in the regular season and early playoff rounds, they lost when it counted the most. In 2010, there were no more excuses for James. The spotlight was all on him and his team. When they lost in the second round, to Boston, the critics got louder and louder.

The early exit in the 2010 playoffs helped facilitate LeBron James' move to Miami. Dwyane Wade, who had not won a playoff series since the Heat's title run in 2006, was glad to see two of his best friends join the Heat. But, from the start of the season, LeBron James was seemingly trying to out-do Wade, often making sure he did not touch the ball in some possessions, costing the Heat important games.

By the playoffs, it seemed as if the Miami Heat had found a happy medium between their two stars and even their third wheel, Chris Bosh. When the NBA Finals came, Dwyane Wade helped Miami close out the opening game with a win. Dwyane Wade had a spectactular game two and seemingly single-handedly gave the win to Miami. But, LeBron James ended up costing the Heat game two with selfish, careless, play towards the end of the game. Throughout the rest of the series, James' play was up-and-down.

While not needed in the "star" role, he was needed to be one of the biggest contributors on the floor, but he was not, for some reason. His attempts to rebuild his own game, hindered Wade and cost the Heat a championship they were on their way to cruising to. Because of this, LeBron James has been blasted by the media for a third season in a row. Ever since 2008, the media has been trying to create a rivalry between James and Kobe Bryant.

Due to James' inability to win when it counts, the rivalry has not yet had a playoff game. With James now a part of the Miami Heat, it seems as if the rivalry will never come. Despite this, he and Kobe Bryant have become good friends. Tired of the bad press on LeBron James, Kobe Bryant told the media to lay off of him. Despite preparing for his ninth season in the NBA, LeBron James is only 26-years-old. Many of the legends of the game did not win until they were at least 30, or more, and some never won.
