LIL KIM: FROM RAPPER TO ENTREPRENEUR: NEW FUR LINE, NEW BOOK, NEW MIXTAPE.

According to People.com, Lil' Kim is releasing her own range of fur. The hip-hop star - who is risking the wrath of animal rights group PETA (Here's my 2 cents: I bet they won't attempt to throw shade at Mary J. Blige, Patti LaBelle or Aretha Franklin! PETA is crazy...but they ain't that crazy!) with her latest career choice - is naming her new line Royalty Fur, a range of clothes and accessories all made from animal pelts. Lil' Kim - real name Kimberly Denise Jones - attended the New York premiere of family film The Perfect Holiday on Monday night (10.12.07) wearing a $5,000 brown fur coat with white fur trim from her collection.

The 33-year-old rapper is also releasing a new mix album called Ms. G.O.A.T. this month. G.O.A.T. stands for 'Greatest Of All Time' and includes a cover of Britney Spears Gimme More, called Kimme More, which opens with line "It's Lil' Kim, ho," instead of "It's Britney, b***h". Kim said: "I always wanted to do a mix record. I did this for my fans. It's been 18 months since I got out of jail, I felt I owed them something. Although Kimberly Jones was getting her business straight and Kimberly Jones was getting herself straight, my music was my love."



READ DETAILS ON LIL KIM'S NEW BOOK AFTER THE JUMP!

According to a spokesperson for Lil Kim, the petite rapper is in the process of adding writer to her resume after signing on to pen a novel, called The Price of Loyalty. Publishers St. Martin's Press have signed a secret deal with the controversial star and she's furiously scribbling the paperback. A spokeswoman for Lil' Kim claims she'll write under her real name and the new tome won't be a biography. No details about the book have been revealed, but Lil' Kim is expected to recall her recent prison experience in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
