One of the best things about celebrity crushes is that no matter what their relationship status may be, they can always stay in our hearts. Known for their bachelor titles, these A-listers are a hot commodity on and off the big screen and stage. Many of these Hollywood A-listers and singers may be off the market sometimes, but never for long, adding them as a mainstay to our Hollywood bachelor’s list.

They’ll “sexify” you for sure. Here are 15 black male celebrities who might be lifelong ‘little black book’ holders…

Idris Elba

This British television and film star is known for his roles in “Obsessed” and “Luther” as well as his dashing good looks at a ripe 40 years old. Divorced from his ex-wife and mother of his daughter, Kim Elba, Idris is currently single although he had a short-lived fling over a year ago that produced his first son.

Terrence J

Although this multi-talented actor and host is currently dating supermodel Selita Ebanks, this 30-year old is still one of Hollywood’s newest eligible bachelors (at least in our mind!). Branching out from BET’s 106 & Park to host E! News in replacement of Ryan Seacrest, Terrence J is now on the radar!

Andre 3000

Another ex of singer-songwriter Erykah Badu (and the father of her son, Seven), Andre 3000 is one of our most eligible bachelors. As a notable hip-hop artist and actor, Andre 3000 is a bachelor we would love to keep on our list for his quirky style, good looks, and who could forget about those crazy lyrics!

Omari Hardwick

“For Colored Girls” might not have been the best light for this Hollywood actor, but Omari Hardwick is one of the freshest, hottest actors coming to light, which is why he’s on our list. Now in the blockbuster hit remake of “Sparkle,” Omari Hardwick is surely becoming a mainstay on the big screen; he’s a catch in our eyes!

Shemar Moore

Light skin may or may not be in anymore, depending on who you ask, but we always have time for Shemar Moore! Since the 1990’s with “Soul Train” to “The Brothers” to “Young and The Restless,” Shemar has been the poster child for the light skin men in Hollywood who have caught our eye!

Leon Robinson

His appeal goes beyond “Waiting to Exhale” as Russell and “The Temptations” as David Ruffin. This on-screen bad boy has captured our attention as being a Hollywood mainstay, looks and talent combined. Sharing a daughter with supermodel and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey, 50-year old Leon is a father and Hollywood figure that never goes out of style.

Prince

We had to throw it back for our bachelor’s list and complete it with none other than one of the Godfathers of sex appeal, Prince. This legendary artist has hit high notes on stage, on countless numbers of albums and in our, um, heads! Although he has had various notable relationships and has been linked to countless numbers of women, including Matye Garcia, Madonna, Apollonia and Carmen Electra, Prince has always been known for rolling solo and leaving a trail of love and lust along the way. Safe to say if bachelors actually carried a card, he has the Black card with unlimited credit!

We know we’ve probably missed a few, so tell us: who are the black male celebrity bachelors on your own personal list?
