RUMOR: REGINA KING & HUSBAND SPLIT?

Page Six is reporting that Regina King and her husband of 9 years are getting divorced. According to the gossip page:
Regina King and husband Ian Alexander are divorcing over the usual allegations: “physical abuse, drug use, and extramarital affairs” .
Wow! That’s crazy. According to IMDB, Regina and Ian have one child together.

PROSECUTOR SAYS NO DEAL FOR SNIPES
I guess those reports last week about Wesley Snipes striking a deal with the I.R.S are false.
Federal prosecutors denied Tuesday that any deal had been struck with Hollywood star Wesley Snipes so that he could avoid jail on tax charges.
They stressed:
“No agreement has been reached with him, what we are doing is we are talking to his representative and making arrangements for him to turn himself him to face the charges, because he’s out of the country,” Tampa federal prosecutors’ spokesman Steve Cole told Agence France-Presse.
I guess he better stay his ass in Namibia, they coming for you Wes.

KATT WILLIAMS ARRESTED AT AIRPORT EARLIER THIS WEEK
I know I’m late as hell, but oh well! TMZ is reporting that Katt Williams was booked on felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and several other offenses. Read on to see what went down:
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the arrest occurred at 3 p.m. in Terminal 5. Williams, a popular comedian who recently starred in his own HBO stand-up comedy special, was stopped at the security checkpoint. Security officers found a concealed weapon in his carry-on luggage. One law enforcement source described it as a “cheap, Saturday night special.” The LAPD was called and Williams, who stars alongside Nick Canon on the popular MTV show “Wild ‘N Out,” was arrested. Cops determined the concealed weapon was stolen. They also found three additional weapons in luggage that Williams had already checked in READ MORE.
Word is, Williams is also wanted in connection with an outstanding warrant in Kalamazoo, Mich.

I must admit that I didn’t even know that Regina King was married. I’m sure “Brenda” will have no trouble bouncing back. I think she’s really pretty, and she seems like a cool chick.

Celebrity couples are getting divorced left and right.
Is it me or doesn’t that statement sound kinda suspect :
Regina King and husband Ian Alexander are divorcing over the usual allegations: “physical abuse, drug use, and extramarital affairs” .
Sonce when are physical abuse, drug abuse, and extramarital affairs the “usual allegations” in a divorce??

I honestly did not know that she was married. I swear there must be something in the water in Hollywood! They are breaking up left and right.
And I have to agree with Southernbelle, is it usual allegations because they are Black? Most couples cite irreconcilable differences. Not abuse.
But God bless her and her family in this dificult time.

Awwwww. So sorry to read about the drama going on in Regina King’s marriage. Can’t anybody stay together anymore? Jada and Will…you’re next. Not hating, it’s just Jada is a little to weird these days.
Wesley Snipes is a self hating disgrace to the race, so lock him up! Wesley Snipes doesn’t care about black people ans we don’t care about him! P.S. Doesn’t he look like one of the O’Jays in that pic???
Katt Williams is an idiot. Why is he famous again? I have family and friends that are funnier than him…

Wesley is always in trouble for something. I used to be mad about wesley in the early days - my friend couldn’t understand it but It was because he came across as a positive black man back then. This is the first time I have ever seen Regina’s husband - are the allegations of physical abuse, drug abuse and extra marital affairs from her or him?
25.

I’m not shocked at all because every pic I’ve seen of her for at least the last year, she has been alone.
I hope she got a pre-nup, cuz this girl is paid. She is the one of the few highly paid black actresses that has had consistent work in prominent roles for over 10 years.

And Katt Williams? *shaking my head* ‘coz I really don’t know what to say.

Not surpirsed about the divorce - simply because marriage is a joke these days. We either get married for the wrong reasons to begin with then end up divorced or get married, have one fight and call it quits. Now as far as Katt: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKIN? Wesley - who cares

I sure hope that Will and Jada aren’t the next celebs on the road to divorce…But has anyone else noticed that they haven’t been pictured TOGETHER lately?
I agree that Regina’s husband is good looking, but he probably suffers from that my wife is somebody and I am nobody syndrome, so I don’t doubt that he’s probably drinking, getting high and trying to whoop up on her.

Deval Patrick was elected governor of Massachusetts Tuesday, becoming the second African American ever elected chief executive of a U.S. state. The win by the 50-year-old Democrat breaks a 16-year GOP hold on the Bay State’s governor’s mansion. He defeated Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey.

Michael Steele, Maryland’s Republican Lieutenant Governor, lost against Democratic opponent Ben Cardin.
Democrats scored a string of victories in governors‘ races Tuesday, taking back Massachusetts, Ohio and New York from the GOP, holding a vulnerable seat in Michigan and fighting hard to unseat Republicans in Minnesota and Maryland.
Democrat Ted Strickland easily defeated Republican Ken Blackwell. New York, as expected, chose Democrat Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general who crusaded for Wall Street and corporate reform.
In Michigan, Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, long targeted by the GOP, defeated millionaire Dick DeVos, even though he put more than $35 million of his own money toward his campaign.
In a bit of good news for Republicans, Republic, , ) in the contest to replace term-limited GOP Gov. Jeb Bush .
Ten states had open seats because of retirements, term limits and primary defeat. Republicans went into Election Day holding 28 governorships to 22 for the Democrats. The GOP began the year trying to hold eight open seats, while Democrats had only one. Republicans also saw another seat come open when Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski lost his primary.
Two other black candidates — both Republicans — lost. In Ohio, Strickland swept past Blackwell, the secretary of state who was criticized by Democrats for his role in overseeing the 2004 election in Ohio that was critical in securing President Bush ‘s victory. And in Pennsylvania, former NFL star Lynn Swann was swamped by Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell.
“From here on out, we need a politics that binds us together, a politics that‘s forward-thinking, a politics that asks not, ‘What‘s in it for me?‘ but always ‘What‘s in it for us,‘” Spitzer said in prepared comments.

The biggest names were in some of the least competitive races. Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California was safely ahead in pre-election surveys, while Spitzer had long been ahead in New York.

Also in close contests, though the latest surveys showed them slightly ahead, were Democrats Jim Doyle in Wisconsin and Ted Kulongoski in Oregon.

In Alaska, Republican Sarah Palin unseated unpopular Gov. Murkowski in the GOP primary and faced Democratic former Gov. Tony Knowles. In Idaho, GOP Rep. C.L. “Butch” Otter was in a close contest with Democrat Jerry Brady, a former newspaper publisher.
The contests could break the record for women governors. Eight women governors now hold office, one fewer than the record. Four women were in the running as major-party candidates.
