Jill Scott covers May issue of ESSENCE

Singer/Actress  Jill Scott is on the May 2010 issue of ESSENCE Magazine.  Scott discusses her music  career, her new movie and motherhood. Jill Scott really is an underrated artist, but it seems as though she’s finally getting some shine.

Here’s a snippet of what Scott had to say in the interview:

“…Ever since I had my son, I feel like there’s a stitch of lava in my spine. I feel like I can do anything.”

“I felt completely overwhelmed by being a mom. I always wanted it, but when I actually got it, it was so much more than I had anticipated…”

“I’ve always liked and appreciated myself, but now it’s deeper and stronger and I like it.”

SPOTTED: Angela Simmons and Rob Kardashian

Rumors have been swirling that Angela Simmons and Rob Kardashian are an item. However, both Simmons and Kardashian have dispelled the rumors and now only time will tell what the real status of their association is.The duo were seen with friends leaving the Wonderland nightclub in California. Truth be told, there’s a huge difference between getting to know someone, dating, dating exclusively and being a couple.

New Video: Owl City – Vanilla Twilight

Check out the newest video from Owl City called “Vanilla Twilight.” The video  features a cameo by Shaquille O’Neal and was directed by Steve Hoover. I’ve definitely become a huge fan of Owl City in the recent months! Nice video and I love Adam Young’s voice.

New Music Video: Erykah Badu “Window Seat”

Singer Erykah Badu premiered the official video for her song “Window Seat” on her website yesterday morning, March 27.

According to The Urban Daily, this is the explanation for the writing that can be seen on the ground at the end of the video. The Urban Daily’s Bill Johnson also explains the path Badu walks in the video.

And if you’re wondering what the writing on the ground at the end says, Erykah explained via Twitter that it says “Groupthink,” and that the video was shot in one take, guerilla style with *no extras.*

It’s also worth pointing out that the path she walks is the path JFK’s limo took when he was assassinated.  The X in the middle of the street near the end marks the spot where JFK was shot.

The video is definitely interesting and steps outside the normal straightforward message.  Take a peek below…
