Eve Cut's Hair For Ice Cube

[Thursday, December 6th, 2001]
Radio 1 have reported that Eve Jihan Jeffers or more famously a rapper known just as Eve, will make her acting debut opposite Ice Cube in 'Barbershop'.

The film thats to be directed by Tim Story, is to center around all the mishaps during a day in a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Besides Eve and Cube, the ensemble cast includes Cedric "The Entertainer" and Anthony Anderson.

Cube, who is one of the film's producers, is no stranger to giving unproven talent their big Hollywood break — he did it for Chris Tucker and Mike Epps in the first two "Friday" movies.

"Somebody gave me a shot," he said last month. "Somebody looked at me not in an audition, and that somebody is John Singleton. He saw me being myself and he knew I was right for 'Boyz N the Hood.' I took a page from that."

Eve will play an employee called 'Terri' and will start filming in January.
