It seemed like she disappeared after we saw her in “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.”

But apparently, Jill Scott has been working quietly behind the scenes, a press release issued today reveals.

It mentioned a few things but I prefer to start with the newest addition to her Ashley Stewart intimate apparel line, which, the way I see it, must be competing squarely with Queen Latifah’s Curvation line.

According to a release issued today, Scott has been working on a new innovation in the intimate apparel area, which is scheduled for a launch in the second quarter of 2010. This comes after the widely successful debut of Ashley Stewart’s Butterfly Bra inspired by the singer, which garnered great coverage in Women’s Wear Daily, Instyle Magazine and US Weekly.

Bra-talk aside, news also broke that Scott is prepping two movies, a cartoon series, new album The Light Of The Sun as well as main stage inclusion in the upcoming Lilith Fair tour.  The tour will also feature Sarah McLachlan, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu and Colbie Caillat.
