What's Happening At Hidden Beach New Poems In The Family Conversations In The Family Reunion
Last night Jill Scott took to the stage at Radio City Music Hall and brought the house down as only she can. Musiq Soulchild served as her opening act on the first night of a two-night stand. Jilly performs tonight with white guy of the moment Robin Thicke and the legendary Chaka Khan. Here are some flicks of Jill doing her thing:
Sing out, sister!
Tell ‘em why you mad, Jill.
Jilly is all smiles.

Who is… Precious Ramotswe? It’s the moniker of the gumshoe Jill Scott will portray in the “No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” - a TV movie based on the bestseller by Alexander McCall Smith. It’s also the name of the soul singer’s first-ever starring role.
“No. 1…” was written by English Patient scribe Anthony Minghella and Bridget Jones’ Diary screenwriter Curtis Martin, so obviously it’s a dramedy. The story, in general: Ramotswe and her assistant Mma Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose) form a detective agency and become embroiled with a cheating husband, insurance fraud, a kidnapping and witchcraft. VIBE super-crush Idris Elba (The Wire, 28 Days Later) costars, and the film is scheduled to begin shooting in Botswana, South Africa later this month.
But fans already know this isn’t the first time the Beautiful Human has taken to the screen. Scott’s film Houndog (costarring Dakota Fanning and Robin Wright Penn) made a splash at Sundance earlier this year. This October 12, she’ll star in the new Tyler Perry film, Why Did I Get Married?. In that roll, Scott’s donning a fat-suit as an extremely obese woman whose marriage is threatened by a hot single girl.
And in case you forgot what made you love her in the first place… Scott’s new album, The Real Thing, drops September 18.

The best-selling “No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” series of novels by Alexander McCall Smith, about a folksy sleuth in Botswana, is to be adapted by the Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella. The American R&B singer Jill Scott is to play the detective, whose professional philosophy is: “We help people with the problems in their lives. We are not here to solve crimes.” The film, which is being shot in Botswana with the backing of the government, was designed as a television movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
