Jill Scott engaged to Atlanta drummer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eagle-eyed BET Awards viewers may have noticed a certain significant ring on R&B singer Jill Scott’s left hand when she performed her tribute to soul pioneer Al Green this week. Well, her drummer Lil John Roberts — a staple on the Atlanta music scene from the Yin Yang and FunkJazz Kafe days to the Tuesday Jam happening weekly at Sugar Hill — gave it to her.
As Buzz reported last month, they were walking hand-in-hand at the Fox Theatre when Scott made a surprise appearance during the Roots and Erykah Badu show. Her reps confirmed to us that he has popped the question, and the fairly recently divorced Scott is engaged again.
CELEBRITY DOCKET
Country singer Mindy McCready has been arrested in Tennessee and charged with violating her probation.
Authorities are accusing the 32-year-old of falsifying her community service records. Williamson County Sheriff’s Department officer Charlotte Spencer says McCready turned herself in this week, posted the $5,000 bond and was released two hours later.
She is on probation for a 2004 drug charge.
Her attorney, Lee Ofman, declined to comment on the new charge.
A corrections official says McCready will go before the judge who sentenced her, and he will decide what, if any, action to take. McCready’s court date wasn’t immediately available.

UNCOUPLING
Actor Bill Murray and his wife of nearly 11 years are divorced. A judge in Charleston County in South Carolina has signed off on the divorce agreement barely a month after Jennifer Butler Murray asked for the separation. The couple were married in July 1997.
The couple’s four children will live with their mother, while the 57-year-old actor-comedian will have visitation rights and pay child support, according to court papers. Jennifer Murray also will get their home on Sullivans Island, S.C., and a second house in Hemet, Calif. Other documents detailing the divorce were sealed at the couple’s request. The court papers were first obtained by the Web site TMZ.com.
