Ever since Eve broke on the scene in 1999, she's had a knack for making stardom look easy. Grammy Award winner. Check. Starring in blockbuster films. Check. Achieving elite status as a fashion icon. Check. The "blonde bombshell" is a triple-threat entertainer in the truest sense of the term.

Eve was one of a new breed of tough, talented, commercially viable female MCs to hit the rap scene during the late '90s. Though she could be sexy when she chose, she wasn't as over the top as Lil' Kim or Foxy Brown, and as part of the Ruff Ryders crew, her production was harder than Da Brat's early work with Jermaine Dupri. In the end, Eve came off as her own person; a strong, no-nonsense street MC who could hold her own with most anyone on the mic; and was finding success on her own terms.

Be sure to watch the MTV Video Music Awards 2007 tonight on MTV !! Eve will make an appearance there !

Rapper EVE plans to celebrate the removal of her alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet in style - with an alcoholic beverage. The hip-hop star was ordered to wear the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) last month (Aug07) after striking a plea agreement for her DUI arrest in April (07). And Eve admitted before a gig in Las Vegas on Friday night (07Sep07) she was "so excited" about being freed from the device on the following day (08Sep07). Asked by reporters if she was going to have a drink to celebrate the removal, she said, "You know I am! I don't know (what I'm going to drink) yet. I might wait for dinner. I gotta start slow. It's been so many days."

"People have said, 'I thought you were gonna bark at me?' I'm like, 'What, you think I walk around barking like I'm a f**king dog?' I'm not scary!" Hip-hop star EVE doesn't understand why people are scared of her.
