Jay: Welcome back. Talking with eve. “Eve-olution” is the new CD. And
that was great. It’s a great outfit, by the way.
Eve: Thank you.
Jay: If this was a catholic school, you would be in a lot of trouble
right now. Very cool.
Eve: Thank you.
Jay: You’re from Philly?
Eve: Philadelphia.
Jay: Another Philly girl. You made — is this your acting debut in the
“barbershop” movie?
Eve: I also had a little part in “xxx.” But this is —
Jay: I saw “xxx.” What did you do in “xxx?”
Eve: I played, like, Vin Diesel’s best friend and partner in this underground website. It’s like at the beginning, it’s like the first —
Jay: Okay. Okay. Because I saw the movie about a month ago. Do you like that?
Eve: I love it.
Jay: Do you like the acting thing?
Eve: I love it. I had a lot of fun. “Barbershop” was really cool because
it was two months. I got into the acting thing.
Jay: You played a barber.
Eve: I played the only girl barber in the whole shop amongst a bunch
of guys.
Jay: All right. Did you go to barber college?
Eve: I did. I went to barber college and I’m not good at all.
[ Laughter ] I’m not good. I cut friend of mine’s hair. I don’t know
if it grew back yet.
[ Laughter ]
Jay: That must be a very good friend.
Eve: He is.
Jay: It was a guy.
Eve: It was a guy.
Jay: Okay. ‘Cause girls — there are not girls that are that close of
friends.
Eve: Never.
Jay: Did you use scissors or —
Eve: I actually — I used scissors and comb and the thing — what is
it? Razor?
[ Laughter ]
Jay: It sounds like you skipped a few days in college.
Eve: The thing. The thing.
Jay: Yeah. How long did you actually do the course for?
Eve: A week.
Jay: A week. That’s —
Eve: It’s not that hard.
Jay: Okay. Well, that’s good. Well, let me tell you something — you
are a far better singer than you are a barber.
Eve: Thank you.
Jay: “Eve-olution” is the new album. “Barbershop’s” the new movie. Congratulations on all your success.
