Soledad O'Brien and the Starting Point panel discuss a Maryland 911 dispatcher who fell asleep on the job while talking to a woman whose husband was having breathing problems.

Actress Alice Eve wanted Soledad to know one thing when she first stepped into the Starting Point studio this morning: the spectacular blonde hairstyle for her latest film is, in fact, her own hair.

On today's show, the “Men In Black 3” leading lady discusses the experience of working with seasoned stars Will Smith and Josh Brolin.

Eve plays the young Emma Thompson in the blockbuster trilogy’s final installment. She also starred as Emily Hamilton, the love interest of Edgar Allen Poe (played by John Cusack), in last month’s “The Raven."

Eve says she's no stranger to learning how to fit in; a good thing, considering she's new to the MIB series. She went to nine different schools during her educational career: "I swapped accents and cultures - and dress codes," Eve says, laughing.

The first “Men In Black," released in 1997, grossed close to $251 million domestically; the sequel, released in 2002, brought in about $190 million. “Men In Black 3” hits theaters this Friday.

Keelin Godsey has an impressive record: he’s a two-time NCAA national hammer champion and took 5th at last year's USA Track & Field championship, among other accomplishments. However, what makes Godsey stand out is that he used to be a she.

Born as Kelly, Godsey is biologically female, but he self-identifies as a male. Next month, he’ll head to Eugene, Oregon to compete for a spot on the U.S. Women's Track and Field team, making him the first American Olympic contender to be openly transgender.

David Epstein and Pablo Torre join the Starting Point panel today to discuss the story they recently wrote about Godsey for Sports Illustrated.

The reporters explain that there's no uniformity across various organizations about the rules under which transgender athletes compete. To compete in a sexual category different than the one in which one was born, the Olympics require gender reassignment surgery as well as two years of hormones, while the NCAA says that only one year of hormone therapy is necessary.

Although the guidelines for transgender athletes remain unclear, the NCAA plans to take up the issue over the summer thanks to the attention drawn to the issue by athletes like Godsey.

For the first time in their country’s 5,000 year history, millions of Egyptians are heading to the polls today to cast their first free vote for the country's president. 

Twelve candidates are vying for the position and although it’s unclear who will win, there are four standout candidates that are garnering attention this afternoon.

On Starting Point today, Rep. David Dreier says the United States will be happy to work with whoever the Egyptians choose, because having a democratic system will facilitate what he hopes what will be an even better relationship between Egypt and America.

Rep. Drier, who is in Cairo as an official election monitor, calls the democratic process "inspiring" and stresses that Egypt and the U.S. share an "important strategic relationship."

Four Secret Service agents who were dismissed during the prostitution scandal in Cartagena, Colombia are fighting back, saying they are being used as scapegoats to cover up a culture that’s been tolerated for a long time.

Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan will be testifying in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee about the scandal for the first time today.

On Starting Point this morning, Sen. Ron Johnson calls the Secret Service misconduct a "sad revelation" and says that he's interested in finding out how pervasive this type of behavior is at today's hearing.

While Johnson says that Sullivan seems to genuinely want to get to the bottom of the situation, he asserts that it's important to determine whether or not the scandal is in fact part of a larger, accepted culture in one of the government's most respected agencies.

A new ad was released yesterday once again attacking Mitt Romney for his tenure at Bain Capital.

While Romney and his supporters say the candidate's time at Bain qualifies him to turn America's struggling economy around, Vice President Biden argued otherwise yesterday, saying that Romney's investment-firm background no more qualifies him to serve as president than would experience working as a plumber.

On Starting Point this morning, Bain Capital's former managing director Ed Conard defends Romney's record and explains why he believes business executives would make great leaders.

Responding to criticism that companies like Bain are more concerned with making money than creating jobs, Conard says, "It's half true that companies and Bain Capital work for investors, but more importantly they work for customers and you can't be successful with investors if you're not successful with customers."

After a French woman handed a note declaring that she had a "device" implanted under her skin to a flight attendant on US Flight 787 yesterday, the plane made an emergency landing in Maine.

Passengers were told that the plane was landing to refuel after experiencing strong headwinds. In-flight, doctors searched the woman and found no recents scars that would indicate a "body-bomb."

Nevertheless, the 179 passengers and nine crew members aboard were greeted by law enforcement upon landing. The woman in question, who had been flying alone without luggage, was arrested and is reportedly undergoing psychological evaluation.

On Starting Point this morning, Rep. Peter King says he was "very concerned" about the situation because terrorists have been exploring the potential use of "body-bombs."

King insists that the fact that the woman was traveling alone for ten days without luggage should have raised suspicions, saying,  "I think she should have been taken aside and at least given what we call a secondary screening."

King also weighs in on an upcoming movie about Osama Bin Laden, saying that although he gives the Obama administration "tremendous credit" for killing the terrorist, he’s concerned about the degree of "cooperation and collaboration" between Hollywood and the administration.

STARTING POINT PLAYLIST FOR 5/23/12

Sen. Ron Johnson kicked off today's Starting Point playlist with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," George Harrison's classic Beatles song. The track is widely considered to be one of Harrison's finest compositions, and was ranked among the greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone.

Political commentator Margaret Hoover was one of our panelists this morning, and brought along a diverse couple of songs for the playlist. Up first was "Eva" by Latin funk group Ozomatli. The track is off of the band's self titled 1998 debut album. Hoover also picked "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen, which has been recorded over a thousand times by artists ranging from The Grateful Dead to Motorhead.

Will Cain's first playlist pick today was The Black Crowes' "Jealous Again." The song was the band's first single, released in 1990. Will also picked Everclear's 1997 hit "Father of Mine."

Men in Black III star Alice Eve stopped by the Starting Point set today, and brought along Pitbull's "Back in Time." The song can be found on the soundtrack to the new film, which hits theaters this Friday.

Panelist Roland Martin picked a couple of throwbacks today. Up first was "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5. The song was the first of many number ones for Michael Jackson, who has reached the top of the charts in six decades, including the current one with "Hollywood Tonight," which topped the Hot Dance Chart last year. Martin also picked the Parliament classic "Flashlight."

[UPDATED 7:45am ET] Sports Illustrated reporters David Epstein and Pablo Torre discuss transgender athlete Keelin Godsey's quest to join the Olympics track team, explaining that there is not much scientific information about transgender athletes and no uniformity about how to judge the gender category in which they will participate.

A new bipartisan bill, Startup Act 2.0, aims to keep global talent in America by providing benefits to immigrants who launch startups.

On Starting Point this morning, Senators Mark Wagner (D-VA) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) describe their bill, insisting that they don’t think an election year is an excuse to not get anything done.

Startup Act 2.0, essentially the sequel to the Jobs Act, offers new visa classes for immigrants, as well as incentives to invest in startups and tax credits for new businesses. It will also use existing federal funds to help universities bring their research to the market faster.

To be eligible, an individual must have completed graduate-level work in science, technology, engineering or math. Within a year, he or she must launch a business that has two full-time employees who are not family members, and their company must raise capital of at least $100,000.
