The singer, poet and actress is expecting her first child April 25 and on Sunday makes her debut in HBO's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (8 p.m. ET/PT), an adaptation of the novels by Alexander McCall Smith.

Scott overcame personal obstacles to get the Agency job, in which she plays Precious Ramotswe, owner of a Botswanan detective agency. After auditioning for the late Anthony Minghella, Scott nailed the part but learned that same week that her mother had cervical cancer. Her mother ultimately got a clean bill of health, and as Scott was ready to get on a plane and begin shooting in Africa, she found out that she was seven weeks pregnant.

Now, as she and her fiancé, band member Lil' John Roberts, await the birth of their son, Scott is putting the finishing touches on their new home in Studio City, Calif.

At age 24, Scott was told by doctors that she would never have children, and they recommended a hysterectomy."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the full article here.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has criticized the European Union and the US for tariffs on products from developing countries and has advocated a bigger say for developing countries in decisions on the world economy, pointed a finger to Western bankers."
