Where Are They Now: Lauryn Hill

I was helping someone put together an event recently and they said “I wonder if we can get Lauryn Hill” and I was like “are you crazy? No one can get Lauryn Hill”. Well I guess I was wrong because Martha Stewart somehow pulled Lauryn out of the trenches to attend an event in New Jersey recently.

L Boogie and four of her five children were spotted at a Williams Sonoma store in New Jersey. Martha Stewart was in the store signing copies of her latest book, it isn’t known if the Hill-Marley clan was in the store to see Martha or just happened to be picking up a few things for the kitchen. Either way, Lauryn doesn’t look too happy, she didn’t even bother to crack a fake smile. On the other hand, her children seem to be very happy. In August, Rohan Marley, the father of her children, told People Magazine that L Boogie was still under contract with Columbia Records and “is always composing songs. She writes music in the bathroom, on toilet paper, on walls. She writes it in the mirror if the mirror smokes up. She writes constantly.” I’m not sure if Rohan was trying to tell us Lauryn is working on a new album but the thought of a new Lauryn Hill album seems far fetched. -source

Damn, I miss L. And To think she was only 23 at the height of her success. This acceptance speech gets me everytime…
