Lauren Nicole London (Age:23)

She made her film debut in 2006's "ATL" alongside T.I.. Just recently London was featured in the film "This Christmas" opposite Loretta Devine; Regina King; Idris Elba; & Chris Brown among others. She also has a recurring role on HBO's hit series "Entourage" where she plays Turtle's girlfriend.

Lauren is a very humble, down to earth, young beauty who possesses many star qualities. Romantically she has been linked to Rapper Lil' Wayne; and NBA player Barron Davis; however reps for all parties strongly deny these rumors.

Ms. London is a true beauty all around & she never seems to let the fame go to her head also she is very grounded always keeping family first.

Personally I think Lauren London should be playing the role of Aaliyah Haughton, they both have a lot of similarities in looks and style, Lauren definitely would be a better fit for the part than Ciara's back up dancer who is alleged to play the role of the late R&B sensation.

Queen Charlotte

"Descended from the warlike Vandal race,
She still preserves that title in her face."

A description of Charlotte by her physician, Boran Stockmor that describes her as having "a true mulatto face"

Queen Charlotte, (née Duchess Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz; 19 May 1744 – 17 November 1818) was the queen consort of George III of the United Kingdom (1738–1820). She was the grandmother of Queen Victoria, and the great-great-great grandmother of the current Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II. (*Info. from Wikipedia).

Bet a lot of people didn't know that African's have ties to the Royal Throne!!! I don't know about you but this certainly amazed me, according to Wikipedia (a popular online encyclopedia) Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg was a Mulatto, currently what we call today a person that is Bi-racial or what Kanye West would refer to as a "Mutt"; Regardless, the Queen of England today, fully acknowledges her African history. If you view the picture closely you definately can see the "mulatto chararcteristics". She studied with the likes of Mozart & Bach, she also chartered many philanthropic projects during her reign as Queen!

All Hail to the Queen!!

P.S.-Peep the coat with the dalmation fur; Homegirl had style for the 1700's!!

Finally in the game!
