JILL Scott must feel bittersweet about her profile in next month's Vogue, where the Grammy-winning R&B artist is praised as possibly being Hollywood's next big thing. The comments were made by Oscar-winning di rector Anthony Minghella, who tragi cally died yesterday of a hemorrhage following neck surgery. "She is ex tremely stellar. I think she can be a real star," raved Minghella, who recently di-rected Scott as Botswana gumshoe Pre cious Ramotswe in the upcoming flick "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency."

"There were simple things and extravagant things. I wanted to be a cat owner when I grew up, and I have a cat. Then to own a Picasso, and I checked that off"- now she wants a Dali , too. "To win a Grammy. I checked that off a couple of times (now three times, including February's win). "I wanted to be a wife. I did that," she adds a touch sardonically. "I definitely want to be a mother. That's still on my list. I want to be Storm from X-Men. So this Halloween I'm going to go ahead and be Storm".
