Eve Debuts In New Sitcom

Yahoo! Music, Sep 15, 2003 6:00 pm PDT
(9/15/03, 6 p.m. ET) -- Grammy-winning rapper and actress Eve--who has held her own on the big screen in Barbershop and XXX--debuts as the star of her own sitcom when UPN premieres Eve Monday (September 15), at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.

In the series, Eve portrays Shelly Williams, an up-and-coming fashion designer trying to manage her career and her love life. In Monday's episode, titled "Worst First Date Ever," Shelly meets a promising new man but things get ugly--and funny--when her couture dress gets stuck in his pants.

Eve's role as a Miami fashion designer is a case of art imitating life. The rapper is the designer of Fetish, a clothing line that bowed earlier this year with apparel that she says is sexy but not pricey. Earlier this year, Eve told LAUNCH: "Fetish will be in stores in spring 2003, and I'm doing it through Iceberg, but it will be an affordable line: Macy's, Bloomingdale's, things like that. I don't want it to be high end, and it will be pretty much my style--very sexy but classy, seductive, not vulgar, and very feminine."
