*An upcoming Vogue magazine article touting Jill Scott as Hollywood's next big thing features kind words from Anthony Minghella, the late director of her upcoming HBO pilot "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency."

       The Oscar winner died Tuesday of a hemorrhage at London's Charing Cross Hospital following an operation last week for a growth in his neck.

       In the article appearing in next month's Vogue, Minghella says of his lead actress: "She is extremely stellar. I think she can be a real star."       

       Scott portrays Botswana detective Precious Ramotswe in the upcoming flick based on a series of novels by Alexander McCall Smith.
