Jill Scott and Essence

Not only will we see the beautiful Jill Scott in Tyler Perry's upcoming Why Did I Get Married, Too?, but she'll be gracing the cover of Essence Magazine's May issue!

From Essence.com:

"Ever since I had my son, I feel like there's a stitch of lava in my spine. I feel like I can do anything."--Jill Scott

With a string of lead movie roles under her belt and on the eve of a new album, the inimitable Jill Scott covers ESSENCE's May issue--looking and feeling better than ever! In "And Baby Makes 2," Jill is photographed at home with her 9-month-old son Jett, as she opens up about the difficult road that led her to single motherhood, the sister circle that helps her get by, and the perfect life she enjoys today.

Can't wait for the issue!  Jill will also begin her upcoming tour with Maxwell on May 21, 2010.  More info on the tour can be found here

Jill Scott is Pregnant!

Jill Scott is expecting her first child with her fiancee', Lil' John Roberts. Jill has been filming the show The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, based on the popular novels by Alexander McCall Smith.

Jill was recently in Botswana to film the show & found out before she left for filming. "The first trimester I spent in Botswana," said the star, who is due April 25. "That was one of the biggest challenges of my life. First trimester! You're sick every morning. It was seven hours time difference, the heat, the bugs, the 14 hour days."

Wishing Jill much continued happiness!!
