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…

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’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.”
why are yall callin the girl a hoe like she been with every man under sun. she is young and having fun, if she wants to fukk chris brown then let her live, wtf yall want them to get engaged or something? damn hop off let her do her thing, they are young and famous they dont need to be in a serious relationship at their age. at least she didnt get knocked up and then have to cover it up with a rush wedding like some people.
i think the tats were a very stupid idea…..but then again we dont know what kind of relationship they really have, so o well.
lol @ nate – cocaine is a helluva drug
jill needs to take it easy didnt you just get divorce last year, now you’re going to get married again this year……ummm think again.
Yeah Basically @ # 2
i agree w/ #15 and #50 which happens to be my best friend shawty lo. umm us get each other’s bday helll naw. thats lesbo stuff. rhi rhi need to stop denyin it cuz there’s pics of them kissing. she is def. a friend w/ benefits.
wut up talle lo u right dat is lesbo stuff rhi rhi’s a dumb figga who cant admit da truth i mean y she denyin i wouldnt deny chris and how r u very ver very close friends wit him and not be suckin dat d*ck wen u kno he a FREAK!!!! if u aint u dumb
I’m so happy for Jill and Ruben. See kids… nice guys do finish first! lol
I like how we all like to assume that they’re f*cking. I see her statement as the opposite. Maybe Im just naive but maybe they’re just real cool….but don’t f*ck. To me f*cking is what usually makes a relationship different from a friendship.
Go head Jill live your life like its golden congrats to Rueben and everyone else wateva
Anyone else find if CRAZY that Jill is singing AND crying to a song named after her first husband when the next one comes on stage with flowers? He couldn’t have waited until she got into perhaps A Long Walk or something else.
also, I know I heard her on our radio station not too long ago saying she was dating her co star from Why Did I Get Married. Dang…what happened with that. Jill moves quick.
Rhi Rhi, girlfriend is going to regret getting all of those stupid tatoos when she is older. I have had the same best friends since I was 15 and lets just say that I am WAY older than Rhi Rhi. There is NO WAY in hell that I am tatooing anything to do with my girl on me. That’s just buts.
She is also confirming that her and CB are F@#$ buddies. That’s not a good look.
I agree with one of the bloggers above venturing this soon into marriage after a divorce makes Jill seem a little needy. You need to heal after a divorce not rush into ANOTHER commitment thats suppose to last until you die. Slow it down baby.
actually it was Barbara Walters who asked her the difference between dating and being very close friends and she said “I think you know” meaning she IS sleeping with him just as it was recently made public that Barbara did a bit of that with her adulterous affair. Rihanna is very capable of expressing herself…she’s honest…it surprised me too but I think it’s safe to assume their sleeping together…it’s basically what she said.
“they’re”
Congrats to Jilly and Ruben! Black love is a beautiful thing.
Rihanna and her best friend may have something going on. B-day tats? R u serious?
Damn Nate Dogg! Is he still paralyzed on his left side from that stroke?
i am so happy for jill.she deserves all the happiness and i can’t wait to see her next weekend at the essence festival.she is da bomb
and wow at nate dog
Jill Scott- good for her
Ruben- He’s been engaged Tianna, that pic you posted they were engaged there, good for him though
Nate dog is crazy as hell.
Riri love her some Chris, but whatever
congrats to those getting married! especially jill scott you go girl!
ummmm nate…..whats really goin on??? i thought you were still sick anyway
umm i heard riri and chris arent talking much these days but hey i could be wrong either way we are all tired of this game…….how about you make a new album and stop tryna eat off of this successful one that you stumbled upon (because we all know you have no talent besides being pretty) lets see if you can do that again…people need something else to talk about besides you and chris who have been denying like a baby daddy on maury.
@75 U kno dat rhi rhi sold more albums than chris rite so how is she eating off his
rihanna is bisexual.she really loves her friend.she travels everywhere with her n stuff.chris bown is her friend with benefit.
It sounds like Chris and Rihanna are just friends and she is gay. Chris Brown is probably gay too. Remember they call it Hollyweird for a reason.
she’s not a ho just b/c she sleeps w/chris. lmao. i don’t think she’s the classiest chick around but she’s def not a ho. that’s extreme to say. her tat is dumb though. isn’t she supposed to be a “bad girl”. what “bad girl” puts her friends bday on her body? that shows that you’re not a bad girl at all.
congrats to the rest
jill love YOU, hate the dress. but congrats girl, congrats.
Yall know she meant that they NOT fuckin’ yet, right…
LMAO @ 7.
And whoopi is smart, she was hinting they were fuck buddies but she was subtle.
I’m so happy for Jill Scott.
I think Nate may have a tumor or something… (thank you Grey’s Anatomy)
I like rihanna but she is starting to piss me off to not admitting that she is dating CB. I mean what’s so wrong with that? It’s cute why is she denying it. It’s really cool seeing them together but it’s so uncool if you lie when the truth is already out there.
I love you RhiRhi but damn girl you need to get your facts straight before it hits you in the butt!!. And the new tattoo that she has is really cool but when you have on to many you start to look like a skank!
Congrats to Ruben and Jill!!!!
Tsk tsk tsk, i agree with all those who said Rihanna just confirmed that her and Chris are F.W.B
Anyway, congrats to both couples
Nate Dogg is a fool
why does it matter why she got the tattoo, it isn’t for you all to approve. some of you picked your tattoo from the book in the tattoo parlor. walking around with the same damn tattoo as 1000 other people. I’m not saying that i would get a tattoo like that, but it’s her body.
all celebrities say “we’re not dating” whats the point in even tryin to explain,we’ll always think the opposite.lol.
they’re lookin cute together on the awards though
lmao wow maybe her n her bf dykin thats why her n chris aint offical ahah jk. butt umm i sure as hell wouldnt get a damn tattoo of my best friends bdate on my shoulder. u already know her bday so why i need to be reminded? congrats to jill and ruben .
I’m watching the BET awards and Chris Brown is whack!! Rihanna is too grown for him.
Fucc Buddies… Thats The Big Difference…
Im not mad at her for being honest… STay using Protection
Damn Jill, like Rick Ross said “shorty slow down cause your moving too fast”
I’m happy for the Velvet Teddy bear, I wish him and her the best…
Rihanna get a grip and hold on tight, cause your not riding down a good path *SMH*
My girl Jill is tieing the knot again…Congrats, I hope this time it lasts a lifetime.
Congrats to Ruben..he and his fiancee make a cute couple..
Rhi Rhi and Chris are not dating…please I dont know who she trying to convince, cuz i aint buying it.
Is that Shhh tattoo Ri Ri got real?? Some of my girls tats are jus random!
**********Congrats to Jill and her future hubby(the drummer)- And my teddy bear!!!
**********Black Power is amazing. For RiRi ok u and chris r friends w/benefits cause
**********b not letting u be jigga mistress oh did chris ask jigga if he can date you
**********i have a bff but putting her dob on my body thats a little too much. nate
*********please go back in the studio and stop running folks over thats not cool if
********u trying to get back w/her
MMabey Rihanna and Chris took a page out of JAY AND BEY’s book . . . as long as you deny it, people will talk= you will be more interesting to the public!
ok last night at the BET awards my boy chris was wack i mean eva since he started fukkin rhi rhi hes been diff. and wen he was grindin pon ciara i kno rhi rhi was PISSED OFF!!!!! cuz they was gettin too close and all rhi rhi could do was smile but i kno she was probably thinkin oooooo……he aint gettin no cutty 2nite! lmao
jillhhjill looks fat and disgusting as always….Happy for Ruben!
So Rihanna and Chris are just close close “no touching” friends? Let me see…what would a young no-talent lesbian girl have in common with a young man she’s not romantically interested in besides USING him to help her career, while at the same time HURTING his, by giving young fans the impression that he is taken!!! Wise up Chris!! She ain’t your friend. Don’t waste your time on a USER. You’re a nice young man with a lot to offer the RIGHT NICE girl – like Ciara or Jordan Sparks or everyone’s fave girl Keisha Cole.
