Common has been in the news, as of late, because of his recent activity. In his return to the big screen, Common finds himself playing opposite of Queen Latifah in Just Wright. However, in real life, he finds himself in a relationship with Serena Williams. Both Williams and Latifah are notable stars and Common’s association with both was bound to cause a stir.

Recently, Common discussed his relationship with Serena Williams. After two years of rumors, last year, the two officially became an item. When asked about how he landed a woman with a profile such as hers, Common played it off. The question was if he used pick-up lines. Common denied using any special tricks to land Serena; in fact he denied ever using pick-up lines.

Being a slim man, there is often the question of if he would date a bigger woman. In his upcoming film, Just Wright, Common does end up in a relationship with a bigger woman. When he was asked about dating a woman the size of Queen Latifah, Common said that he would have no problem being with a woman her size. Common said that weight is not a requirement.

Common said that in order for him to love a woman, she first has to love herself and then love him. In return, he would love her and the size is regardless. Right now, it appears that he is into the athletic type and it is obvious that Serena Williams loves herself.

While addresses his transition from hip-hop to movies, Common revealed that he has always tried to remain true to himself, be creative and still have fun. He took acting lessons and takes his role as an actor very serious. He wants to have a long career in acting and is in it for the long haul.

On dating Serena Williams & women in general: He says he didn’t have to use any pick-up lines [when approaching Serena]. He was just honest. He has great intuition and street sense when it comes to women and dating. He doesn’t knock women who admire him for his work, but she should still be able to hold her own. He can tell if someone is genuine.

On Black Romantic Comedies making a comeback: He is enthused and excited that films are starting to show another side. He said “I am really GEEKED. It’s like we can be classy, too. We love too. Love is universal.”

When asked would he date a woman of Queen Latifah’s size: He responded yes, if he was attracted to her. He stated, no matter a woman’s size, she should be able to love herself first, then she can get love in return.

On being a sex symbol: He definitely appreciates the love, but doesn’t take it to the head.

On Erykah Badu’s Window Seat Video: Common says he hasn’t seen the video yet. He says he is very low-tech and had a hard time finding it on YouTube. But he salutes Erykah Badu and agrees with his homeboys that “Yeah, she’s a sexy woman.” He thinks she is innovative and it was a great marketing strategy.

Time Magazine's Social Influence Index Led By Obama, Gaga, Kutcher

influencelogo Time Magazine yesterday published their list of the most influential people in the world, and along with it published their new “Social Influence Index,” which measures appeal by analyzing Facebook and Twitter.  The algorithm adds up followers on both Facebook Fan Pages and Twitter accounts and applies a basic formula to even the influence of each network.  Leading the pack was President Barack Obama, followed by Lady Gaga, followed by Ashton Kutcher.  Ashton Kutcher?  This can’t be right.

The reason that Ashton is so high on the list is because of his massive campaign to race CNN to 1 million Twitter followers in April of 2009.  He won the race by a small margin and has continued to exert an unnormal amount of influence since then.  The Time rankings do very clearly state that they are a simple measure, and they are quite aware that  ‘more followers’ doesn’t really mean more influence.  But it is pretty fascinating to see how important Ashton Kutcher has become since becoming one of the first Twitter superstars.  His ability to promote products and connect with an absolutely massive audience in real-time is staggering.  Is this a case where the medium empowers a sometimes mediocre message?  Perhaps so.  Here’s the top of the list.

Barack Obama – 7,740,557
Lady Gaga – 6,697,752
Ashton Kutcher – 6,390,600
Taylor Swift – 5,608,398
Oprah Winfrey – 2,907,504
Robert Pattinson – 2,298,274
Ben Stiller – 1,735,285
Serena Williams – 1,681,207
Conan O’Brien – 1,352,195
Jet Li – 1,220,613
Damon Lindelof – 977,222
Carlton Cuse – 969,097
Sarah Palin – 884,145
Glenn Beck – 621,436
Neil Patrick Harris – 493,561

The full list is available at Time.com, and we suggest you check it out.
