New Couple Alert!: Jill Scott & Lamman Rucker
Oh yes. These two brought the on-screen romance to the off screen. The 2008 BET Honors Awards went down right here in DC last night, and YBF sources spotted Jill Scott and her cutie Why Did I Get Married? co-star Lamman Rucker extra cozy all night long. The new couple arrived together and hit the red carpet together. And Jill thought she was slick chit chatting it up on her cell phone all the way from the red carpet to her seat–avoiding everybody’s questions about her and Lamman. The two were seated together and Mr. Rucker slid his hand around Jill’s waist prior to them walking in after Jill’s performance. And y’all know the two weren’t trying to hide their affection all night. Jilly clearly isn’t letting her recent divorce keep her down. I knew she and Lamman had much more on-screen chemistry going on than the typical on screen duo. And I so feel a “He Loves Me” remix coming on….

On Jan 14, 2008 at 9:43 am | Reply | QuoteI remember Lamman from As The World Turns where he portrayed Marshall Travers. Was glad to see him in Tyler Perry’s Movie and his and Jill’s storyline made the movie for me. For I once was like Jill’s character at 340 lbs. desperate for a man’s love. In September of 06 had gastric bypass surgery and dropped 170 lbs. And I feel great, but what I didn’t realize at the time, no matter the weight loss, I was still who I was if you get me. Her story in that movie was so similar to mine. I hope she and Lamman are very happy together. I too am waiting, but not worried for that special someone. I found someone to work on in the meantime, and that’s me.
but he was mine 1st.

On Jan 14, 2008 at 12:58 pm | Reply | QuoteI think Jill is hella fly, but I agree, her hair could, and has, looked ALOT better. It’s not hating when you have seen someone look better looking just ok or so-so. That hair style is not flattering on her, and I’m not hating, cuz I’m natural too. At any rate, I’m happy for her. It seems like her marriage really went south, so it’s good to see that she’s found someone else.

On Jan 15, 2008 at 11:37 am | Reply | QuoteYes, him is handsome……remembering the scene when she was most definitely checking out that body. Love her….pure and down to earth. If the sparks on screen translates into reality….all the best for them! Not digging the dress, hair or shoes. Good to be down to earth, but you wanna always try to look your best, which doesn’t mean overdone or competitive, especially when walking with something as handsome as that.

Hey so her marriage didn’t work out doesn’t mean she should stay in the rutt of loneliness. Let’s learn to look at picture and stop picking people apart. I think she looked beautiful. Must we always make negative comment. People will always find something to say because they are not happy with the way they look. Jill keep on Living Loving and Laughing.

Who the hell are you to make such a comment if it’s a rumor or not who are you to pass judgement. People like you make me so sick. You live with a sick mind. You closeminded fool. I’m too mature to curse you out. Your not worth you it JACKASS. Dame you done made me curse.
