Scientologists falsely claim Kimora Lee Simmons hands out their literature

justingirl1989 — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 06:44:34 -0800

Another embarrassing, mind-boggling Scientology video is circulating throughout the web, and this one is garnering attention not just for the ridiculous crap spewed by cult leader David Miscavige, but also because he makes up complete lies - like the assertion that Kimora Lee Simmons is a Scientologists and hands out their ridiculous propaganda book “Way to Happiness” in the “inner cities” of New Jersey and Los Angeles. Kimora is not only not a Scientologists, she had no idea her image was being used.

Kimora Lee Simmons - celebrity designer, ex-wife of Russell Simmons and great beauty - is not happy with Scientology.

On Thursday, we had to call her press person and inform her that Kimora is being featured in a new Scientology promotional video. The sect’s chief, David Miscavige, can be seen in the video telling followers that Simmons has been distributing the group’s “Way to Happiness” propaganda pamphlet in New Jersey and Los Angeles. He tells the gathering that to reach new recruits 12 to 18 years old, they can do better than Simmons, who “funnels booklets” in the aforementioned locales. On the screen behind him, Simmons’ face is shown.

Only one problem, though, Simmons’ publicist told me on Thursday while her client was traveling. “I’ve asked everyone,” said the flack. “Kimora is not a Scientologist. We have nothing to do with this.” Of course, Miscavige also claims support in the video for Scientology from Philips Electronics in Pakistan, Dell computers “all over Africa,” Coca-Cola Pakistan, 7-Eleven in Taiwan and Ecuador’s postal system. He says that 70 million people are reading or in possession of “Way to Happiness.”

I feel badly for Kimora. There are few things as embarrassing as being called a Scientologist. I would much rather have a sex tape scandal than a Scientology scandal. There are about 83 reasons I would never believe Kimora Lee Simmons could be a Scientologist. First off, everyone knows she’s a demanding, crazy diva. No way would she back down to anyone. Second, instinct tells me that she can - and would - squash Tom Cruise like a bug, just for the hell of it. I don’t want to go all Tyra Banks, but Kimora is one of the few women I would call fierce. Scientologists are crazy, and I normally have a pretty healthy fear of them. But in this case, they all better run, because you do not freaking mess with Kimora Lee Simmons.

Here’s the Scientology video that will probably result in Kimora lighting the Celebrity Centre on fire. While the crap about Kimora is around the six-minute mark, I urge you to watch the whole thing, if for nothing else than the laugh factor.

wtf??

Kimora Lee Simmons is pregnant

justingirl1989 — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:32:33 -0700

Former supermodel and current reality show star Kimora Lee Simmons, 32, is pregnant with actor Dijmon Hounsou’s child. I am glad I only have to spell that name, and not pronounce it.

Kimora Lee Simmons finally has her long-sought-after bun in the oven. The demanding diva has been trying for a child with her lover, Djimon Hounsou, and sources say the two have finally made magic. “She’s pregnant,” a source told us. A rep for Simmons couldn’t get a hold of her client for five days. Simmons already has two children, Ming and Aoki, by ex-husband Russell Simmons.

[From Page Six]

Page Six makes it sound like the wannabe “Baby Phat” designer has been trying for years to get pregnant. It hasn’t really been that long; her divorce with Russell Simmons is barely a year old. Kimora has two daughters with Simmons, Ming Lee, 8, and Aoki Lee, 5 and 1/2, who appear regularly on her show, “Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane.” No word on what her due date is, or whether Kimora and Hounsou have plans to get married.

Kimora Lee Files for Divorce from Russell Simmons

justingirl1989 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:39:13 -0700

Kimora Lee Simmons filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Russell Simmons, in Los Angeles County Superior Court Tuesday.

The couple announced that they had split up in March 2006, but said they had already been separated "for some time."

In court papers, Kimora, 32, cites irreconcilable differences and asks for legal and physical custody of the couple's two daughters, Ming, 8, and Aoki, 5. She requests that Simmons, 50, get "reasonable child visitation … to be accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel.

At the time of their initial separation in 2006, Simmons said in a statement: "Kimora and I will remain committed parents and caring friends with great love and admiration for each other."

Kimora has been dogged recently by rumors that she is expecting a child with boyfriend Djimon Hounsou. At an appearance in Chicago earlier this month, she told reporters. "I'm in the paper every single week – that I had a fight with my ex-husband, or that I was mad at one of his girlfriends, or that I'm pregnant, or that I demand Fiji water … Lies upon lies upon lies."

Kimora Lee Simmons Gets Sole Custody of Children

justingirl1989 — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 06:41:20 -0700

Kimora Lee Simmons has won sole custody of her two daughters with hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, Ming, 8, and Aoki, 5.

According to legal papers obtained by The Insider, Russell Simmons gets the girls one week out of every eight, plus extra time for summer vacations and holidays.

In addition, he pays $20,000 per child per month in child support. That cash flow stops when each reaches the age of 19 1/2, or until the daughter is emancipated, married, becomes self-supporting, joins the armed forces or stops living with Kimora Lee Simmons.

Finally, he's required to buy or lease a car valued at $60,000 or more for the girls once every 24 months.

Kimora Lee Simmons, 33 and CEO of the Baby Phat line, cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce from Russell Simmons, 50, in March after nearly 10 years of marriage.

She is now "kind of engaged" to actor Djimon Honsou. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20209169,00.html

Kimora Lee Simmons demands faux-fur coat for her Barbie doll

justingirl1989 — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:10:07 -0700

Model-turned-fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons’ new Barbie doll comes with a faux-fur coat, in a bid to show young girls they can look “fabulous” without skinning animals.

The designer and reality TV star admits she was thrilled when toymakers Mattel decided to model a Barbie in her likeness, but she had one recommendation.

She says, “She has a faux-fur chinchilla coat, because I want to show kids that synthetic fur can be fabulous, too. She’s everything a Barbie is supposed to be.”

Simmons isn’t the only celebrity to inspire a modern Barbie - a Hilary Duff doll has also been created recently.

Kimora: Djimon Has a Huge ... Billboard

justingirl1989 — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 06:03:05 -0700

Kimora Lee Simmons is living large – and so is her boyfriend, Djimon Hounsou.

The fashion-designer-turned-reality-star spoke with PEOPLE at Wednesday's launch of her new fragrance, Fabulosity, and she good-naturedly gushed about the man in her life – and his new Calvin Klein billboard in Hong Kong.

"He's really big," Simmons, 32, said of Hounsou's underwear ad, which Calvin Klein's reps claims is the largest in Asia. "We were just there when it went up. Isn't it a great billboard?"

The Life in the Fab Lane star – who split from her husband, mogul Russell Simmons, in 2006 and recently denied reports she's expecting – couldn't help but admire her beau's sleek physique (clad only in a pair of tightie whities). She boasted, "He's the biggest one in the world, honey."

Dog Recently Died
It was a rare light-hearted moment for Lee Simmons, who was mourning the recent death of her 18-year-old dog, Zoe.

"You have to ... grieve," she said. "It's okay to take time and say this meant something to my life and [to] honor it."

In fact, in typical Kimora style, she may find a way to honor Zoe with bling.

"There is a company that makes diamonds out of your loved ones," she said. "[They] make diamonds from a little of the carbon from the ash, so I might do that. I might turn her into a diamond."

Kimora Lee Simmons & Djimon Hounsou Talk About Romance

justingirl1989 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 05:04:22 -0800

Although Kimora Lee Simmons, who split from husband Russell Simmons last year, wasn't looking for romance when she met actor Djimon Hounsou she last February, she found it – and then some.

"I have a lot of hang-ups in life with men. I'm not very trusting," the model and fashion mogul says in an interview in the February issue of Harper's Bazaar. "After my breakup, I thought, I don't need anything. But now I have someone who has the heart, the soul, and the hotness."

Adds the Life in the Fab Lane star: "When you’re not looking, that's when it happens."

On their first date, a dinner with friends at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, Simmons found the West African model-turned-movie star of Blood Diamond "deeply compelling and utterly sweet. I immediately got into 'Are you dating?' 'You married?' 'You want kids?' I asked all the things you would never ask someone if you really were trying to date because you would scare them off."

But Hounsou says he wasn't deterred. "My first impression has always been the same, that she's a very beautiful lady, very capable and intelligent and smart with great family values. She's the least high-maintenance lady I've ever dated."

Hounsou praises Simmons’ skills as a businesswoman and a mom, calling daughters Ming Lee, 8, and Aoki Lee, 5, "great kids. I take my hat off to Kimora for the way she's carried them along with her business."

Simmons, in turn, raves about her boyfriend, calling his Calvin Klein underwear ads "hot as hell" and his gym-sculpted body "sick."

Kimora Lee Simmons 'Kind Of' Engaged to Djimon

justingirl1989 — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:04:49 -0700

Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Honsou are "kind of" engaged, she tells PEOPLE.

When photographers asked the designer, 33, and the actor-model, 44, to kiss on the red carpet at the Bel Air home of Maria and William Bell for Wednesday's third annual Loveday celebration hosted by Cartier, Simmons opted for a snuggle instead.

"That was more like a nuzzle!" she said.

So, are the two – who first met in February 2007 – engaged? "Kind of," Simmons replied.

Asked if Honsou had given her an engagement ring, Simmons was equally forthcoming – and evasive. "Well, kind of," she said, "not quite."

Once inside the party, Simmons explained their attendance by saying, "My honey created a bracelet last year, and we're here for [the orphans' charity] SOS Children, and we're really good friends and supporters of Cartier and their charitable initiatives."

Besides, she said, "It seemed like a great time to have fun and see lots of friends." And, with a good cause involved , too boot, "there's nothing better than that." http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20207746,00.html
