(Nov. 8, 2001) SCOTT’S TAKEN…AND TAKING OFF: Grammy-nominated neo-soul singer-songwriter Jill Scott has gotten hitched. The Ru Report has learned that the Philadelphia-bred musical wunderkind has married her best friend and lover of the past seven years, Lyzel Williams, in a private ceremony in Hawaii.
While her rep is remaining tightlipped about the actual details of the nuptials, she did offer that the couple wed within the last two weeks, while Scott was on vacation. Williams, who is a much sought-after graphic artist and DJ, is also hands-on in Scott’s career management, along with her bodyguard Bill Brown.
Yours truly will get a chance to catch up to Scott while she’s in the big apple to promote the release of her forthcoming live album, Experience: Jill Scott (826 Plus), which is due in stores on November 20th. Scott will host a private luncheon at a swank Harlem haunt next Wednesday where all of her friends and supporters in the entertainment industry will be invited.
Now that her time off is over with, Scott is getting knee deep in the marketing of the 2 CD set, which features live tracks and new music. This weekend, Scott will tape a special segment of Bravo’s Broadway’s Best program, in which she collaborates with music legend George Benson for a performance of “Summertime” from Porgy & Bess. The Bravo special is scheduled to air during February sweeps. She’s also slated to appear on LIVE with Regis & Kelly, Sesame Street, The Ananda Lewis Show, BET Tonight wit Ed Gordon and the VH-1 special The New Soul Generation, in the coming weeks.
And while the 29-year old media darling is currently gracing the cover of Honey magazine and will be on the cover of the January issue of Essence, Scott will also perform a song from the set, “Gotta Get Up,” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on November 26th.
