Is Regina King the voice in the Always Infinity commercial? Regina King is an African American actress, and she has a very unique speaking voice. I've always liked the way she sounds when she talks. Now there is this Always Infinity (feminine product) commercial out and the "narrator" sounds so much like her. Anyone know if it's her?

Who is Regina King dating? I would like to know who Regina King sleeps with on a regular basis. I am quite jealous of the man who is dating Regina King dating?
Who else thinks actress Regina King needs a film with her as the lead? I saw Miss Congeniality 2 today and it wasn't that great of a movie. Bullock was pretty funny, but as usual Regina King played second fiddle but was the highlight of the film. I see this often for her. She seems to get non-lead roles in everything. I think she's fantastic, and deserves a movie with her as the title character......who else thinks so?
Name that Regina King movie? what's the name of the movie that regina king stars in where she is trying to go to houston to visit her mom, but a cop keeps her because she witnessed a crime but she cant remember anything. all i remeber is that her and the cop she's w/ get closer and closer as she has flashbacks of the day of the crime to try and jog her memory.
Regina King is stringing me along. Why haven't you called me, Regina? http://www.jupeal.com/Actores/Regina_King/Regina%20King3.jpg Let's catch a show this weekend. We can grab some sloppy barbeque afterwards. DAMN! You're probably right, blah blah. I wish I had thought of that. DAMN! Well . . . Hey, Gina. Reply to my question and THEN we'll go get some of that sloppy barbeque. "Good things might come to those who wait Not for those who wait too late We gotta go for all we know I hear the crystal raindrops fall On the window down the hall And it becomes the morning dew And darling when the morning comes And I see the morning sun I want to be the one with you." Just the Two of Us. (You and I)

If the king or queen commits a crime, how will he/she be tried in court? What will be the case's title? Has a king or queen committed a crime and tried before a court in history? I know many monarchs have gotten away with their heinous crimes, while the unlucky ones had their citizens revolt against them, but have any actually been taken to court before? What will be the case's title? After all, the state is prosecuting the monarch him/herself. Rex v. Rex? Regina v. Regina? What about if the king or queen takes their respective spouse to court? Rex v. Regina? Regina v. Rex?

if they made a Martin Luther king Jr movie must see and answer? It may just be me but i really want to see a martin luther king jr movie, if they made the movie and had the right people for being the actors. Now ill say some actors and ill tell u a director they shud have for the movie ok u answer yes or no and why Director- The great Steven Speilberg as he would do a great job with this film. Martin Luther King- the best actor to be Dr.King no other person than Denzel Washington he is perfect for the role but would he have to go through a make up thing like Josh Brolin did for the george bush movie yes or no. Coretta Scott King- maybe someone the likes of Regina king or Kerry Washington i think kerry would be a good choice. Jesse Jackson- Terrence howard would be an amazing choice as well he is also a good actor. James Earl Ray- Ethan Hawke on his looks just like the man who killed dr king. Also some other people in the movie Lawrence Fishburn, Don Cheadle, as dr king advisors. Some also people in the movie and u pick which actor for that person Lyndon B Johnson- J edgar Hoover- and also many others to come what do you guys think

Another Cinderella Story? Ugh Who else is dreading this movie? I mean, The first one was pretty good. It had some great actors I.e. Hilary Duff, Regina King, Chad Micheal Murray But the sequel sounds like crap! Why does Disney have to take a perfectly good movie and make a proccesed sequel of it? Disney didn't even make the first one! I like Selena and all But this is going to be horrible Star if you agree.
What do you think??? Halle Berry won a lead role oscar for Monster's Ball and was named the first black woman to win a lead role oscar, even though tecnically she is biracial. My question is, what happens win a black woman (having a black father and a black mother) wins a lead role oscar. For instance a great actress such as Angela Bassett, Gabriel Union, Queen Latifah or Regina King? They won't get on the glam and fame for being the true first black woman to win a lead role oscar. I am sure Halle is the first biracial woman to win a lead role oscar, so she woldn't lose that. I am mixed like Halle Berry, but this just doesn't seem fair. What do you think?
I want to get my sister an album for Christmas...? I know she likes Regina Spektor, Kings or Leon, The Strokes, etc. I saw that Amazon had the new Miike Snow album on sale, and I really like it, with her music choices in mind, do you think she would?

Why do black actresses so rarely receive acclaim? Kerry Washington, Regina King, Naomie Harris, Jurnee Smollett, Zoe Saldana are some of the best black actresses working and yet you don't hear half as much about them as you do about Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, etc. Why is that black actresses get next to no acclaim? I mean, Regina King and Washington acted the heck out of "Ray", but all the attention fell upon Foxx. Now, I can understand that a little, seeing as how he's the bigger name and he was breaking out of his comedic constraints, but Washington was just as good in "The Last King of Scotland" and Jurnee Smollett was really good in "The Great Debators".
Concealer Question.......? what shade of concealer do stars like : Regina King, Fantasia and Angela Bassett use to cover up Wrinkles and Fine Lines? is it Shade: Medium or Dark
Exercise Expert, Please!? Does anyone know who (the actress) Regina King is? My question is, does anyone know or can guess what her exercise regimen is because I would like to achieve a body like hers. For example, her body in the movie (This Christmas) she did not look like that before, she used to be smaller. Go to youtube and type in (Regina King sexy body) and see what I am talking about. How many weights should I use for upper and lower body and how much protein should I consume to make my muscles grow? Now I do not know if it depends on body type that will determine the outcome of my body, but I am a apple body type. So far I have lost about 17 lbs and currently working with 3 to 5 lbs with my upper body and 10 to 15 lbs with my lower body. Do I need to increase the weights for my lower body?

I have major issues concerning men hitting women and women hitting men. please respond and be honest.? Why is it that when a man hits a woman he is looked at as a dog, a punk, weak, a sissy, and a moster, a people want to attack, him, but when a woman does it especially in the media she is looked at as brave, a fighter, a good example for women. Its so two sided. Men are abused in relationships too, but just don't report it. Example in the movie This Chrismas with Chris Brown, Regina King's character whipped her husband with a belt, while he was naked on the shower floor, but thats putting in little girls mind that thats acceptable to hit me for no reason, plus she crashed his truck. When that came on most of the women in the movies cheered loudly. But had it been flipped and Regina was the one being whipped the movie would have had an R rating. To me as a 19 year old young man, thats not right. Example of myself, a girl at school once punched me in my mouth at school for coughing too loud, and i got up and punched her back hard. I also pressed charges on her.
Who are the best actors in film? Personally, I think Daniel Day Lewis. I absolutely love watching Maria Bello as well, and I would like to see Regina King in a powerful role, she steals scenes effortlessly. There are really so many! Definitely so many great Irish and British actors. I don't see 10 actors listed, but the ones you listed would certainly make the kind of cast that would inspire me to see the movie based on that alone. I loved Donnie Brasco and Ed Wood. I LOVED Anne Heche in Donnie Brasco as well. She was brilliant!
Esquire's 10 things you didn't know about women. Link to URL. What are the overarching themes? http://www.esquire.com/archive/women/10-things-you-dont-know-about-women/0/10/ >>Whoa, check out Regina King's "advice." What would happen if a guy made counterpart statements? I think the overarching themes are: -You dorks haven't figured this out already, shame on you. -You're all so uncivilized, here are some simple things to improve... -We dish it out, you take it. -There are simple, cheap ways to be romantic. Do this more often. -Be very careful how you talk about our physical appearance. -We often don't mean what we say, so get used to it. Princess, thank goodness.
Who is the singer in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghSJsEVf0pU I know the first singer is Zoe Kravitz. Who is the singer after Regina King speaks? She has really big hair? I cannot remember her name and it is killing me. Its not Macy Gray. She is toward the end of the video. I have looked all over online for that ladies name. I love Obama. I am not trying to be political with this so you can please keep your beleifs to yourself. I just want to know that ladies name.

Who are some celebrities that are overrated? Who are some celebrities that are underrated? Heres a list of celebrities that I think are overrated in talent and average-looking or just plan annoying and overexposed: -Nicholas Cage-I only liked him in Con Air, but otherwise I can't stand to see him. -Tom Cruise-Do I really need to explain myself? -Brad Pitt-Hes gotten to old, time for some new blood -Britney Spears-Ugh -Lil Wayne-A Joke -Scarlett Johansson-What is Woody Allen's strange obessesion with her? -Angelina Jolie-Overacts; I'm still pissed with the Marriane Pearl movie -Jessia Alba-Talentless,self-hating -Halle Berry-Never deserved an Oscar -Beyonce-Annoying and fake -Sienna Miller-Well, she can dress. -Blake Lively-She can dress, but I like Leighton Meister better than her she is the real star of Gossip Girl. -Megan Fox-Talentless -Pamela Anderson-Talentless -Carmen Electra-Talentless -Jennifer Lopez-Bad Singer, Bad Actress, Bad Clothing line, but she can dance. lol -Rhianna-Ugh, skin bleacher. -Keyshia Cole-I don't see the hype, shes just a regular hoodrat and her family is so ghetto and embarssing. -Kim Kardashian-Fake, annoying, talentless. Underrated -India.Arie-Writes great music about body image, skin color hair. -Lauryn Hill-Poor Lauryn the industry made her go crazy, listen to her track "All Falls Down ( History of Antiquity). -Naomi Harris-Beautiful and talented... -Sophie Okenedo-OMG, she and Don Cheadle were great in Hotel Rwanda -Jasmine Sullivan-Great voice so underappreciated -Regina King-She's always playing second fildde and never gets the credit she deserves. She does the voices of Huey and Riley on the Boondocks. -Don Cheadle-He's great in every movie. -Jim Carrey-He's a very good comdiean and he is also very good in serious films. -Benicio Del Toro -Megan Good-Typedcasted, but is a good actress -Taraji P. Henson-Robbed of an oscar! -Rinko Kikuchi-She was in Babel with Brad Pitt and is also in The Brothers Bloom with Adrian Brody -Chiaki Kuriyama-Remember the crazy homicidal Japanese School Girl in Kill Bill Vol.1? -Isla Fisher-She's very funny -Ryan Gosling-OMG, Half Nelson -Jill Scott-Always has a banging album -Columbus Short-Cadillac Records -Emile Hirsch-He remids me a little of Leonardo Di Carpo, but hes a great actor -James McAvoy-He's Great in the Last King of Scotlant -James Franco-I love him. -Jonathan Rhys Meyers-The Tudors kitty hawk-I forgot all about Erykah Badu! Mind2Mind-I hated Christain Bale's Voice in Batman. But I really liked him in American Psycho and in Howl's Moving Castle. He new movie looks good. I forgot about James Marsden. He played Cycplos in the Xmen movies, he was in Superman, the Notebook, Enchanted, 27 Dresses, and Hairspary. He never gets the girl in the movie, even thought he always plays the hot rich guy. He's so sexy.He can sing, dance and act. He got the girl in 27 dresses. Josh Hartnett is wayyy underrated now. Maybe it's because he's older. He's looking really hot these days.
Is anyone here going to watch the premiere of the new cop drama called "Southland" on NBC tonight? I definitely am. I think it looks great. But of course, nothing will beat my Law & Order SVU. Here's a summary of whats to be expected: From Emmy Award winners John Wells, Ann Biderman and Chris Chulack comes a raw and authentic look at a police unit in Los Angeles. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, "Southland" is a fast-moving drama that will take viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families. Michael Cudlitz ("A River Runs Through It") plays John Cooper a seasoned Los Angeles cop, assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie, "The O.C."). Cooper's honest, no-nonsense approach to the job leaves Sherman questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer. Cudlitz and McKenzie are joined by other cast members, including Regina King ("Ray," “Jerry Maguire”), who plays Detective Lydia Adams. Adams lives with and is the primary caregiver of her mother. Her partner, Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott, "Boiler Room") is an unhappily married father of three. Michael McGrady ("The Thin Red Line") plays Detective Daniel "Sal" Salinger. Sal oversees fellow gang detectives Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro, "Drive," "Ugly Betty") and Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy, "Alpha Dog"). Arija Bareikis (“Crossing Jordan”) plays patrol officer Chickie Brown, a single mom who dreams of being the first woman accepted into SWAT. And yes, I realize the real thing is nothing like the TV shows. But you have to admit they are very enjoyable to watch.

Why were the monarchs pictured on a deck of cards chosen? so far i know: King of Spades: David King of Hearts: Charles (possibly Charlemagne, or Charles VII, where Rachel would then be the pseudonym of his mistress, Agnès Sorel) King of Diamonds: Julius Caesar King of Clubs: Alexander the Great Queen of Spades: Pallas Queen of Hearts: Judith Queen of Diamonds: Rachel (either biblical, historical (see Charles above), or mythical as a corruption of the Celtic Ragnel, relating to Lancelot below) Queen of Clubs: Argine (possibly an anagram of regina, which is Latin for queen, or perhaps Argea, wife of Polybus and mother of Argus) Knave of Spades: Ogier the Dane/Holger Danske (a knight of Charlemagne) Knave of Hearts: La Hire (comrade-in-arms to Joan of Arc, and member of Charles VII's court) Knave of Diamonds: Hector Knave of Clubs: Judas Maccabeus, or Lancelot but why?

Okay so for my history project we have to make a storybook about the French Revolution and it must be written for a 5th grade audience.

So this is the events i need to do in this order: 1. Meeting of the estates general 2. tennis court oath 3. storming of the bastille 4. the great fear 5. national assembly & the declaration of the rights of man 6.march on versailles 7. constitution of 1791 8. Reaction Outside of France 9. War at home and abroad (committee of Public Safety/Death of king & Queen) 10. The reign of Terror 11. Life during the Directory 12. France under Napoleon ( focus on domestic effects as opposed to his Empire) I need to compare all those events with events that happend in the movie. PLEASEEEE HELP ME!!!! PLEASE&THANK YOU [=
Discover the hidden word star if you like it? My first is in cabbage but not in kings. My second in house but not in wings. My third in rex, maybe in regina; My fourth is most singular -- no letter is finer. My fifth and my sixth in good standing a pair. My next two in damage, look for them there. In days and in years you'll discover my last. My whole is approaching as soon as its past. What is the word?
help with a summary? Last Rites for Indian Dead by Suzan Shown Harjo What if museums, universities, and government agencies could put your dead relatives on display or keep them in boxes to be cut up and otherwise studied? What if you believed that the spirits of the dead could not rest until their human remains were placed in a sacred area? The ordinary American would say there ought to be a law—and there is, for ordinary Americans. The problem for American Indians is that there are too many laws of the kind that make us the archeological property of the United States and too few of the kind that protect us from such insults. Some of my own Cheyenne relatives’ skulls are in the Smithsonian Institution today, along with those of at least 4,500 other Indian people who were violated in the 1800s by the U.S. Army for an “Indian Crania Study.” It wasn’t enough that these unarmed Cheyenne people were mowed down by the cavalry at the infamous Sand Creek massacre; many were decapitated and their heads shipped to Washington as freight. (The Army Medical Museum’s collection is now in the Smithsonian.) Some had been exhumed° only hours after being buried. Imagine their grieving families’ reaction on finding their loved ones disinterred° and headless. Some targets of the Army’s study were killed in noncombat situations and beheaded immediately. The officer’s account of the decapitation of the Apache chief Mangas Coloradas in 1863 shows the pseudoscientific nature of the exercise. “I weighed the brain and measured the skull,” the good doctor wrote, “and found that while the skull was smaller, the brain was larger than that of Daniel Webster.” These journal accounts exist in excruciating detail, yet missing are any records of overall comparisons, conclusions, or final reports of the Army study. Since it is unlike the Army not to leave a paper trail, one must wonder about the motive for its collection. The total Indian body count in the Smithsonian collection is more than 19,000, and it is not the largest in the country. It is not inconceivable that the 1.5 million of us living today are outnumbered by our dead stored in museums, educational institutions, federal agencies, state historical societies, and private collections. The Indian people are further dehumanized by being exhibited alongside the mastodons and dinosaurs and other extinct creatures. Where we have buried our dead in peace, more often than not the sites have been desecrated. For more than two hundred years, relic-hunting has been a popular pursuit. Lately, the market in Indian artifacts has brought this abhorrent activity to a fever pitch in some areas. And when scavengers come upon Indian burial sites, everything found becomes fair game, including sacred burial offerings, teeth, and skeletal remains.One unusually well-publicized example of Indian grave desecration occurred two years ago in a western Kentucky field known as Slack Farm, the site of an Indian village five centuries ago. Ten men—one with a business card stating “Have Shovel, Will Travel”—paid the landowner $10,000 to lease digging rights between planting seasons. They dug extensively on the forty-acre farm, rummaging through an estimated 650 graves, collecting burial goods, tools, and ceremonial items. Skeletons were strewn about like litter. What motivates people to do something like this? Financial gain is the first answer. Indian relic-collecting has become a multimillion-dollar industry. The price tag on a bead necklace can easily top $1,000; rare pieces fetch tens of thousands. And it is not just collectors of the macabre° who pay for skeletal remains. Scientists say that these deceased Indians are needed for research that someday could benefit the health and welfare of living Indians. But just how many dead Indians must they examine? Nineteen thousand? There is doubt as to whether permanent curation of our dead really benefits Indians. Dr. Emery A. Johnson, former assistant Surgeon General, recently observed, “I am not aware of any current medical diagnostic or treatment procedure that has been derived from research on such skeletal remains. Nor am I aware of any during the thirty-four years that I have been involved in American Indian . . . health care.” Indian remains are still being collected for racial biological studies. While the intentions may be honorable, the ethics of using human remains this way without the full consent of relatives must be questioned. Some relief for Indian people has come on the state level. Almost half of the states, including California, have passed laws protecting Indian burial sites and restricting the sale of Indian bones, burial offerings, and other sacred items. Rep. Charles E. Bennett (D-Fla.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) have introduced bills that are a good start in invoking the federal government’s protection. However, no legislation has attacked the problem headon by imposing stiff penalties at the marketplace, or by changing laws that make dead Indians the nation’s property. Some universities—notably Stanford, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Seattle—have returned, or agreed to return, Indian human remains; it is fitting that institutions of higher education should lead the way.Congress is now deciding what to do with the government’s extensive collection of Indian human remains and associated funerary objects. The secretary of the Smithsonian, Robert McC. Adams, has been valiantly° attempting to apply modern ethics to yesterday’s excesses. This week, he announced that the Smithsonian would conduct an inventory and return all Indian skeletal remains that could be identified with specific tribes or living kin. But there remains a reluctance generally among collectors of Indian remains to take action of a scope that would have a quantitative impact and a healing quality. If they will not act on their own—and it is highly unlikely that they will—then Congress must act. The country must recognize that the bodies of dead American Indian people are not artifacts to be bought and sold as collector’s items. It is not appropriate to store tens of thousands of our ancestors for possible future research. They are our family. They deserve to be returned to their sacred burial grounds and given a chance to rest. The plunder of our people’s graves has gone on too long. Let us rebury our dead and remove this shameful past from America’s future. 0 comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) __________________________________________ Recently Dugg Stories The Covers Project The Covers Project began as a simple idea to help listeners discover new music by showcasing covers of famous songs. Users can search for their favorite artists and listen to different renditions of their songs online. Artists are welcome to submit their covers. Powerful people often unable to see other people's perspectives To study the link between power and perspective taking, the participants were told to draw the letter E on their forehead. Those who had previously been randomly assigned to a high power group were almost three times more likely to draw a self-oriented E than those who were assigned to the low power condition.
