The 2008 Finals was a great event in itself, but the final long awaited match-up between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics was nail biting, to say the least, until the final buzzer. The past rivalry between these two team is legendary. For the 11th time, they battled head to head for the championship title. Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce were known as the ‘Big Three’ all up against a one man stampede, Kobe Byrant. The Los Angeles Lakers showed their teamwork in the 2008 Finals, but the Celtics lead the series victoriously.  Although the Boston Celtics took the 2008 Championship title, it was still very interesting watching every game they played against one another, making it the best moment in sports.

Beyonce and Jay-Z together, without a doubt, is the definition of “black love.” For our generation at least! They’ve been together for over 5 years, and have close to $170 million in the bank (combined), making them Hollywood’s richest couple! Much of their relationship is kept private, but their lives as celebrities, coupled with their fame and huge success as artists and entrepreneurs, makes it hard not to want to know more about them! We put them at the top of our list this time last year, but the only difference between then and now is that they are married. The two decided to tie the knot in a “private” ceremony in April 2008. And if you were around and living on planet earth, you definitely heard about it! After People.com announced that the two had taken out a marriage license in New York, the events that happened the weekend of April 4th 2008 were inevitable. After several black SUVs with heavily tinted windows were seen entering Jay-Z’s Manhattan apartment, in addition to the dozens of vans bringing in wedding decorations, we all knew what was going on.

Every paparazzo in the world set up shop outside of the apartment and snapped photos of Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s sister), Tina & Mathew Knowles (Beyonce’s parents), Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Irv Gotti, and more entering the apartment building’s ground-level garage. The list went on and on, but after seeing all of these people entering one place, we knew Beyonce and Jay-Z were DEFINITELY getting married. People.com actually confirmed it the next morning, and shortly after, we spotted the two wearing their wedding bands. These two getting married was definitely the talk of the blogosphere for the months to follow. And even though “Jayonce” never really confirmed their wedding, in several interviews that followed (Oprah, The Tyra Banks show, Essence Magazine, etc.) they were referred to as husband and wife, and neither contested it. But these two are the same people who never confirmed their initial relationship, so we’re definitely used to it!

Who else made the cut as GOT’s hottest couples of 2008? Continue reading to see!

The Summer of 2007 was definitely a time for Rihanna to shine, with the smash hit of “Umbrella” featuring executive producer/mentor Jay-Z, already having released two previous albums, both 2005’s Music of the Sun and 2006’s A Girl Like Me, one would question if Rihanna is moving too quickly in her natural prime. Although I do admit to actually purchasing and owning two of Rihanna’s album releases, I felt she was rushed into finding a specific identity to stick with, not just for her, but also her label. Needless to say, numbers don’t lie, “Umbrella” was indeed a hit and possibly one of my favourite records from her.

BRITNEY SPEARS

You already know the deal when it comes to Britney Spears. If you’ve been living on planet earth, then you know how 2007 went for her. The process of her “losing her mind” started out with the surprise divorce from Kevin Federline, and she basically went downhill from there. But I believe her craziest moment was when she shaved her head in February of this year. And from then on, it was just a rollercoaster ride of possible ups, but mostly downs. A major down for her was when she lost her kids (who are currently living with their dad, Kevin Federline). One of the “possible ups” was her performance at the 2007 VMAs. Everyone thought that Britney would make a big come-back, but unsurprisingly, she couldn’t even do that. Since then, she has released an album that did fairly well on the charts, but nowhere near to what “the old Britney” would have accomplished. Here’s to hopes of her getting her act together in 2008. At this point, she really can’t go anywhere but up. But then again, she’s Britney Spears :-\

KELLY ROWLAND PASSES OUT ON STAGE » Ever since Michelle Williams’ unfortunate fall live on television on BET’s 106 & Park, it seems like the remaining members of Destiny’s Child have taken their own tumbles on stage … from Beyonce’s fall down a flight of stairs in concert (we’ll talk more about that later) to Kelly passing out due to dehydration in Lagos, Nigeria. I couldn’t find the video on youtube, but a quick Google search led me to the video above (Sony BMG never got to them I assume).

Not even Sean Garret can salvage her music career! With that being said, I can’t wait for Her Name is Nicole (Interscope), believe it or not. I think everything has to do with timing, her people debuted her too early, people didn’t care about Nicole as a solo artist then (I don’t know why she left the PCD). But best believe she will have her time to shine soon, way too much was going on this year. That’s why I’m glad the label pushed her album back until next year, they ain’t playing that, very smart. Again, like I said, it’s the timing – with the right promotion, singles, and pull – 2008 could very well be her year.

Just to throw in some more laughs, we thought about having “Superlatives!” You know what those are right? They’re in the Senior section of your high school yearbook. They list the cutest couple, biggest flirt, best all around, most athletic, most likely to ___, etc. If I had thought of this sooner we could have had you guys participate by nominating and voting, but we’ll save that for next year. This time around we’re going to pick the winners. Cool? Anyhow … “Cutest Couple” for the year 2007 goes to …

BOW WOW & OMARION »

Bowmarion, as we like to call them, received the 2007 “Cutest Couple” award because they deserve it and you damn well know it. For the past year or two, these two have been inseparable. From parties to award shows, to television appearances and random interviews, you just can’t get these two Butt Pirates [1] apart! Recently, the couple have released a joint-album together – “Face Off” – and are currently on tour with Chris Brown in the “Up Close and Personal” tour. To see a public display of Bow Wow’s love and affection for his other half, peep this youtube video of the little guy taking up for his man. Love is such a beautiful thing.

[1] Sorry y’all, I just got through watching “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry!”

FYI: This list is in no particular order…

2007 is coming to a close, and we here at Think2wice thought it would be the perfect time to highlight some of the greatest moments, people, etc. of the past year! First up, is “Favorite Couples.” And you guessed it, Jay-Z and Beyonce are perched at the top of this list! These two cause a stir in the gossip blogs whenever their names are mentioned. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve given them one name … Jayonce. Despite both of their busy schedules, Jayonce still finds the time to spend time with each other, whether it be a sporting event, a week-long vacation, or just having dinner at one of NYC’s top restaurants. Recently, rumors sparked of the two being married after people spotted matching tattoos on their ring fingers (IV – “FOURever” ??), but those rumors were immediately shot down by one of Jay-Z’s reps. Who knows … they probably are married! Hell, didn’t Janet keep her marriage to that guy from the public for like 10 or more years? Anyhow, hate it or love it, Beyonce and Jay-Z are with each other for the long run, as long as they keep their relationship as private as it has been for the past 4 years.
