Jill Scott at 2008 BET Awards Pre-Party (Wireimage)
On Saturday, Jill Scott announced during her show at Carnegie Hall in New York that she is engaged to her drummer/boyfriend Jon Roberts:
While she began to sing a tear-filled intro to her signature song ‘He Loves Me (Lyzel In E Flat),’ the blond-striped coiffed musician emerged with a bouquet of yellow roses and kissed the double-Grammy Award winner after whispering sweet sentiments in her left air.
The sold-out crowd, who came to partake in one of the biggest highlights of “The 2008 JVC Jazz Festival,” cheered its approval – some standing at their feet.
Scott, who was divorced from her longtime lover Lyzel Williams last year, beamed as she revealed the secret news to the rapturous audience. SOURCE
Congrats to Jill! We’re so happy for her…
RUBEN TO GET MARRIED AS WELL…
Ruben & his fiance (Wireimage)
Jill isn’t the only one with wedding plans in the future…American Idol season two winner Ruben Studdard is also planning to marry soon and obtained a wedding license yesterday:
Studdard, 29, arrived at the Shelby County Probate Office in Columbiana, Ala. with fiancée Surata Zuri McCants, 30, just before noon, filled out the paperwork and walked away with their license, an eyewitness says. Studdard is a native of nearby Birmingham.
“They looked really happy,” says the eyewitness.
There was no immediate word on when they planned to marry. An Alabama marriage license is valid for 30 days. SOURCE
Looks like cupid is shooting lots of folks in Hollywood these days….
NATE DOGG ARRESTED
Nate Dogg’s mugshot (TMZ.com)
Hip hop artist Nate Dogg was arrested this morning while driving on the 405 in L.A. Word is her was chasing down his wife or some craziness:
Cops tell us a woman who said she was Nate’s estranged wife called into 911 freaking out as she was driving, claiming Nate was making death threats against her and “dangerously” following her as she drove down the road. The CHP stopped them both, and after interviewing both parties, arrested him for making terrorist threats and driving on a suspended license.
The singer, whose real name is Nathaniel Hale, is currently in the process of being booked into the medical ward of the Twin Towers jail in downtown L.A. He suffered a debilitating stroke last December. SOURCE
RIHANNA SAYS HER & CHRIS NOT DATING
Rihanna stopped by The View yesterday and of course she was asked about Chris Brown. According to the singer, the two are not dating contrary to what paparazzi captures:
“We hang out a lot. We’re very close. He’s an amazing person but we are not dating. We’re very close friends, though. Very, very close.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg asks what the difference was between dating someone and being a close friend. Rihanna said, “There’s a very big difference. I think you know!”
She also explained her tattoos, including the new one on left shoulder: “They’re Roman numerals. Me and my best friend got the same thing. It’s her DOB (date of birth) and she has mine.”
Ok so, I love my best friend, but i’m not finna tattoo nuthin of hers on me????
So basically she is Chris bust it baby
Congrats Jill!!!!! I love your music and I hope you are happy. Ruben was sorry for 04…but feelin great in 08…..Rihanna is suspect for putting her best friend birthdate on her shoulder….I love my home girls but… NEVA… chicks fall out real fast. What she going to do when she finds out , that chick screwing Chris…. after all she tells everybody they are just close friends, not dating????????
GO JILL! GO RUBEN! STOP NATE! RIHANNA-LOVE YOU -BUT STOP! FRIENDS?LOL! UMKAY
HAAAAAA HAAAA in the top 3 !!!! can’t hardly believe it
Yeah right Rihanna..
Cupid’s gonna need more than one arrow to have an effect on Ruben’s big ass.
i AM ALL FOR PEOPLE FALLING IN LOVE…BUT DAMN JILL , YOU JUST GOT DIVORCED! I THINK SHE IS ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO NEEDS A MAN IN HER LIFE. SHE SHOULD JUST DATE AND GET TO KNOW HIM BEFORE SHE DOES ALL THAT. THAT IS WHY THE DIVORCE RATE IS SO HIGH. PEOPLE FALL IN LUST AND THEN WHEN THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO LIVE WITH EACH OTHER DAY TO DAY THEY DID NOT REALIZE WHAT THEY GOT INTO. BUT OH WELL, IF THAT IS WHAT SHE WANTS…..
congrats to jill and ruben!!
rihanna’s a hoe. she basically saying chris is her cut buddy.
and nate dogg’s situation is funny.
OK….Love love love Jill….but what the hell is homegirl wearing. She looks like wildlife. And yeah, Nate dog is crazy…cocain is a powerful drug. Who cares about chris and riri dating….we knew it wouldnt last long. And last thing…uummm Nate dog, yeah you crazy
Wasn’t Nate very ill a few months ago? By the looks of those eyes, it’s all coming together.
Rihanna may not be lying. Maybe they aren’t dating- just f-cking.
Slow down Jill Scott baby let the coochie heel first before you jump the broom again. RiRi must really love her some her. Congrads Ruben, now go make some baby making music.
lol @ 1, girl I said the same thing…matching tatoos (like the star thing), maybe. But not a birthday, name or anything like that.
LMFAO at basically every post above mine. Thats about the dumbest tattoo idea ever. What you gonna do once she sleeps with ur boyfriend??
congrats to the two couples above who found Love. Thats a beautiful thing and if they’re are any eligible men out there holla at me cuz all i seem to find is niggaz who like to look out the window all damn day.
Okay…anyway. sounds like ri ri and chris are friends with benefits. hey, im not gonna hate cuz she gettin some d*ck. im hungry can i have some too. let me stop.
Why would you have a tattoo of someone’ date of birth on your body? I can see if that person is your family member or a loved one, but your best friend, who by the way is of the same sex. Let me find out Rhianna carpet munchin on the DL. Not that there is anything wrong with that…matter of a fact I love lesbians (the ones who still manage to keep their femininity, not the butch ones). I wish my girl had a “girlfriend”…hahaha
lmao @ Sherri, “Yall better stay friends forever, while yall gettin yo birthdays tattooed on each other”.
And lol @ Chris f*cking Rihanna without having to make a commitment. Lawd…a mess.
Congrats Jill and Ruben!!!
Dang Nate! not a good way to stay on the radar!!!
Riahanna… pulease..lol.. a noticable tat with my BFF’s birthdate? hmmmm…. you and Chris aren’t dating? hmmm…. ok… but ya are sexin’ lol… and shopping and hanging…. no biggie for her to admit it or not I just wanted to comment cuz it’s funny to me…lol..
LOL @ 15!!
I really like RIHANNA and think she is the prettiest chick in the game now …..
BUT ..SHE”S GETTING CARRIED AWAY WITH GETTING DAMN TATS…..WHY IN THE F*** WOULD YOU GET YOUR BESTFRIEND BIRTHDAY TATTED ON PRETTY SHOULDERS LIKE THAT? THE SH*TS CRAZY………………
Rihanna seems really immature to me. I guess that what happens when you get rich and famous before you’re even an adult. Look at Britney Spears…smh
@ # 2. lolriri
I was just about to type that. lol
I love Rihanna’s accent.
LMAO@num 2
Congrats to Jill & Ruben
Black love is so beautiful
And…..Ruben is going to have a beautiful wife.
Hes not a bad looking man himself.
CONGRATS TO JILL!!!!!! I LOVE HER CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HER IN CONCERT
On another note….I blame her BF for even allowing her to do something that foolish… BACK BIG maybe..but those pretty shoulders..LOL
Wait a muthaf**kin minute…. What in da hell does Whoopi have on. I just got a load of her. I kno she’s outside, but damn Whoopi.
@ 15
“all i seem to find is niggaz who like to look out the window all damn day.”
Your just made me lol @ work.
Nice to hear about the couples.
Congrats to Jill and Ruben and their mates, I wish them the best.
Rhianna, Chris and her best friend need to stop playing we all know they screwing.
That roman numerial tattoo Rihanna has is not original. Shes far from original and her tattoos are getting fricking ridiculous, does she think shes Lil Wayne or something? Im soooo over her fake ass and Chris Brown whateva..they are both blatantly lying through their teeth S M H.
I swear Jill just got divorced? That wasquite soon but anyways congrats Jill, and Ruban!
Oh man whats up with Nate?? I remember him having that stroke too and I was quite shocked by that..
Jilly poo!!! All I can say is that I wanted to burst into tears when I heard the news. It was like one of my family members had called me and told me they were getting married. I’m soooo proud of you shorty!!! You are truly letting your light shine, and man I’m so fuckin mad I didn’t go to that dam show!! (I started a new job, sorry boo I gotta get dat doe$$) I’ll see you Saturday in Hampton, and your ass better share the news and another kiss with us. OH!!!, I got you a belated b-day gift and I vow that one day I’m gonna give it to you. Now I gotta get you something for your wedding, SHIT girl you hard to keep up with.
Tr
Love you Jill and big hugs and kisses
(John……… your ass better take care of her too, or somebody getting fucked up this time around. We let Lyzel’s ass off the hook, but you are seriously being watched bruh!!)
*************** wasn’t Jill dating the guy from WDIGM last week?
**************whatever Rihanna
NATE ogg was Arrested Yesterday
CL is taking news from TMZ now? oh please
Rihanna dumb as [censored], who stays friends forever these days. ESPECIALLY when you’re an international superstar? She’s gonna regret that tatt. But she and Chris aren’t dating……..yet….anyway. Its whatever.
Nate Dogg crazy…
Rihanna should take notes from Britney Spears. She is a prime example of a puppet making lots of money without any education or maturity. People get tats of their own name or kids’ names in some cases but not a friend’s birthday on your shoulder. That is tacky and unattractive for a female, especially since she likes wearing a lot of strapless dresses and clothes.
My comment is awaiting moderation?????? what?????? ohwell I Hope all
you all of you people voted for concreteloop at bet awards blog site award. topic is is blah…..rihannna..stop denying it and that friend tattoo idea is so stupid. co congrats to jill and ruben. nate–smh.
i
hhomey lover friends? “VERY CLOSE, VERY VERY CLOSE”!!
Love you Rihanna but stop bullshittin’. That looked so REHEARSED.
Nate had a stroke? I had no idea.
Oh….so Rihanna and Chris are just boning then. I can see Rihanna being very kinky in bed simply by the way she dresses. i hope Chris can handle that.
I AGREE WITH # 9. RIHANNA IS A HO…EVEN THO I LIKE HURR STYLE BUT DATS BEIG A HO RIGHT THERE..
ALSO HURR GETTING HER BEST FRIEND TATOO ON HURR LOOKS A LIL SUSPECT IF U KNOW WAT I MEAN…LIKE WAT’S REALLY GOING RIH RIH!!
Natt Dogg is CRAZY!! Didn’t he lock his wife in the trunk of his car a few years ago and was arrested. He tried to kill her. I don’t know if this is the same woman. Now I see why Tamala Jones stop f#$king with him. He looks 7:30. I guess Rubin said he was sorry for 04 and got it right in 08. Congrats big guy!
Jill’s story sounds the same. I think she falls in love with the thought of being in love. Because she makes everything seem like a fairytale, until it turns
to chicken. (in Jill’s voice) This brotha is my soul mate.
He is so beautiful. He came into my life and we are one. yada,yada,yada
Every man she gets with, she makes them seem like a night in shining armor.
I guess that’s the way it suppose to be right?? I wish her all the best,
because it’s hard to love again SO SO SOON after a divorce.
I CANT STAND CHRIS BREEZY RIHANNA IS SO FAR ABOVE HIS MJ WANNABE SELF ITS NOT FUNNY. SHES A GLOBAL STAR HES NOTHING!!
************Chris and Rihanna = friends w/SERIOUS benefits
NOT THAT I CARE BUT SHE’S A LIE CHRIS BROWN WAS ON THE RADIO THIS MORNING IN HOUSTON SAYING THAT THEY WERE DATING AND HAVING FUN. SO SOUNDS LIKE THEY NEED TO GET THEIR LIE TOGETHER LMAO!
Congrats to Jill and of course my dawg Ruuuben!!!
RiRi – ok we know ya friends (u & cb) with BENEFITS!!!
Nate Dogg got issues.
Rhianna and Chris – He is simply banging that Azzzz out
Tattoo – Ummm nope, not me and my BFF
Nate – Sad um um um
Yayyyyyy Jilll Congratulation….
Reuben – Congrats to you too… lol
It’s sad we don’t know what dating it all about. It’s testing the waters. Men can “hook up” until they are blue in the face, and have bus bust it babies in every area code.lol But as soon as the female is in control, she is a Ho. Maybe her and Chris didn’t mix on that level and find they make better homie lover friends. At least she didn’t have a kid with him. Some would already have had two kids by Chris and still no marriage in the future. Dating is not taught in our communities. That how you get to know the person. The same system should be used when picking friends. You shouldn’t run with anybody that’s available. You have to date your “friends” too. You shouldn’t just give that title of “friend” to anyone. i know I don’t. I could have known someone for years. But I deal with them when I see fit. They are called associates not friends. The same applies here.
Did she not want to say Cut Buddy on the air? It’s ok. We know, take a bow.
Yay for Jill Scott! I love her already but Love to see someone happy in love.
another yay is in order for Ruben.
There was a rumor that Rihanna and Chris broke up and I believe they had because she said “I am not in love” in a very dry way in an interview with E! but obviously they’ve mended fences because they were together at the preBET awards festivities. And Jill is engaged so soon because she’s really one of these captivating maneater chicks…I watched her being interviewed by Sal (the guy on E!’s countdown) and I’ve seen photos of him with chicks before…they’ve even shown them on the countdown and he’s more ummm Carrie Underwood than Jill Scott but he was absolutely in love with her…she was talking and he kept trying to make it sexual…it was weird…but that was during promotion for the Tyler Perry movie..and she said she was single…so how long has she been dating this guy? Anyway, get em, Jill…I aint mad at ya!
I would never get my best friend’s birthday tatted on me…sounds suspect Ri Ri like her singing ability!!!!!! LOL!
i agree wit #15 dat shit was hilarious. rhi rhi needs to stop frontin cuz she kno she all up on chris d*ck. and dat tatoo sh*t is da stupidist thing i’ve eva heard. who gets a females b-day tatooed on dem self dat would not be me
Congrats Jilly! & Ruben.
That tattoo has got to be one of her dumbest ideas yet. Anything for attention huh Rihanna?!
…………….alright jill! do yo thang girl! black love is beautiful! there’s no time line of

http://www.moderndrummer....updates/LilJohn_setup.jpg
this is the guy Jill’s engaged to, right? I always like to see pictures…it may not be important to anybody else
congrats to jill & ruben.
LOL @ Nate Dogg on the 405. i know there were a lot of angry white folk this morning. well, more angry than they already are driving the the 405.
I would never get such a tat, but she explained that she’s closer to her than to members of her family. Frankly, she said she loves her more than she loves some people in her family. And while that may seem odd, you’ve got to think about the business she’s in and the many many fake people she encounters…it intesifies the feeling of closeness…it makes you appreciate a true friend…perhaps it is odd but no different than the tats people get as homages to children (Angelina Jolie’s tats of the longitude and latitude of her children’s native countries) or people who made lasting impressions on their lives (Dave Navarro’s rose tat in honor of a Holocaust survivor named Rose who still bore Hilter’s markings).
i love my best friend and everything but i’ll be damned if i ever get a tattoo of another females name on myself..I wouldn’t even get my sisters so I sure as hell aint gonna get my best friends!
Rihanna & chris = friends with benefits…..exactly what I have been thinking they were for the past few months!
Why oh why Nate?
Ummmmm I guess….LMAO to everybody’s comments but I’m stuck on Rhianna freaky ass…..I can’t front like she is not hotta than some stolen J’s but Rhianna….you have broken the first code of Hollywood….1.NEVER REVEAL YOUR CUT BUDDY you just makin it hard Rhi Rhi….and don’t mean my d*ck……maybe Chris’ but not mine………I’m kiddin her nasty ass is sexy as hell to me lmao…
~RKJ
She looks like a man-eater though…..I wouldn’t date her……lol
I hope the tattoo on her finger aint real… its cool for a video or a performance but nothing else. Apparently CB’s mother said that Rihanna is the ( i paraphrase ) ‘ sexiest and sweetest girl he’s ever dated’ . Hmmm
No more tats please, ur fine as u are
