HAS JILL SCOTT FINALLY FOUND LOVE IN HER DRUMMER BOY A.K.A. MR. 'CROWN ROYAL ON ICE'?

Since starting this blog and posting a number of posts related to actor Lamman Rucker, a couple of readers have often asked me if I know that fine piece of man on an up-close and personal level. Although knowing him personally would make me happier than a sissy with a bag of dicks, unfortunately, I don't know him like that (but I do know a couple of...nevermind). My guess is that God doesn't love me that much to bestow such a honor upon me. (just kidding! I love the Lord). But that will not keep me from posting what's going on in Mr. Rucker's life...at least professionally (*wink*). Now, you all know that Mr. Rucker will star alongside Angela Bassett and Rick Fox in Tyler Perry's new movie, Meet the Browns, next month. Believe me when I say I am well aware that more than a handful of Real Gossip 101 readers are avid Lamman Rucker fans, so it only makes sense that you all would become just a little bit interested in this brother's 'hobbies', specifically in the dating arena category.

Photos of the beautiful and talented Jill Scott on the arm of Lamman, the only man I know who can wear the hell out of a Ranger's uniform, at the taping of the BET Honors ceremony (was I the only one who noticed they wore color-coordinated ensembles?) last month had folks talking, speculating and wondering what was up with these two. Then it was revealed on YBF that the two allegedly immersed themselves in an unabashed display of kissy-face and huggy-huggy PDA antics during the ceremony, which led to others to assume that we had found our new celeb couple of 2008. However, neither Lamman or Jill released any statements as to the status of their relationship. Well, from what I've learn, Jill is dating. But you ladies can temporarily take a sigh of relief, because the new man in her life isn't Lamman Rucker. What the hell was she thinking, letting him get away, right?!

From what I've learned, Miss Scott, who is currently on tour, is now dating her drummer a.k.a. Mr. 'Crown Royal On Ice.' According to a couple of fans who attended Scott's show in Universal City, California on February 14. 2008, Scott acknowledged her Drummer Boy as her 'Valentine' by giving him a gift and a big kiss on the lips. He in return, gave her a 'loving wink' after they kissed, according to the fan. Another [male] fan, who attended the same show, said while he was in the restroom, he overheard another brother ask to no one in particular: “What the hell was Lyzel’s issue that he couldn’t be happy coming home to Jill Scott!!!??” and “I love that Jill is supportive of brotha’s and doesn’t bash us like so many others.” Now, you all may be saying to yourselves, 'So the hell what, SouthernGurl? Maybe it was just a part of her show.' Well, maybe it was a part of the show, but would that also explain why he escorted her to the 50th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony two days before on February 12th? The same awards ceremony where she garnered the gold for 'Best Urban/Alternative Performance' for Daydreamin featuring Lupe Fiasco on her album, Collaborations?

And even if it turns out that she's not dating him, tough nookie(s) (whatever the hell that means), she still doing her. Bless her heart. Jill's doing just fine, yall! As for who Lamman is dating, I truly have no idea. And if I did...well...you know!

Thanks for the tidbit, Rolanda, Cherlynn and wwwdotemale.
