EW.com<\/a> has learned that the producers of Fringe, the soon-to-end Fox drama, have cast singer-actress-poet Jill Scott<\/strong> in the role of Simone, described as \u201can incredibly intuitive woman, an oracle-like person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look for Olivia (Anna Torv<\/strong>) to seek Simone\u2019s assistance during an early season episode\u2026 in which the cortexiphan-juiced chosen one will eat a cookie and ponder that timeless truth: There is no spoon.<\/p>\n

Scott has heat. The Grammy-winning singer will soon be seen in Lifetime\u2019s remake of Steel Magnolias<\/strong><\/a> with Queen Latifah, Phylicia Rashad <\/strong>and Alfre Woodard<\/strong>. (The TV movie premieres Oct. 7.) She\u2019s also shooting the forthcoming Fox Searchlight romantic comedy Baggage Claim <\/strong>starring Paula Patton<\/strong> and Derek Luke<\/strong>, and she\u2019s been cast in Woody Allen<\/strong>\u2019s next film. Her previous acting credits include The No. 1 Ladies\u2019 Detective Agency<\/strong> and Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
