AT HOME WITH ANGELA & VANESSA SIMMONS; AND TIFFANY 'NEW YORK' POLLARD.

Since leaving their family estate in New Jersey, Rev. Run's two oldest daughters, Vanessa and Angela Simmons, have now made a home all by their lonesome in Los Angeles in an exclusive apartment building that boast lush amenities such as a spa, a swimming pool and a courtyard. The sisters/BFFs say their father only approved of their new home because of its tight security. "My dad saw it and thought it was great. But his main concern was that we find a safe place to live," says Angela. Vanessa, who flew out to Los Angeles before Angela to find the apartment, says they have had a tough time decorating their new pad. "You don't realize how hard making a house into a home is until you're out on your own. And Angela and I are two different people. She's more fun and edgy--and I'm more classic. So it's hard to mesh the styles together, but we make it work."



======================

With Tiffany Pollard’s new reality series in full swing, her die-hard fans are happy to see her back on television, doing what she does best—wreak havoc and create complete drama. Following her long stint on reality dating games, she says it’s time to move on, and thus decided to pack her bags and head to Hollywood, where she would like to take her dramatic skills to the next level and become a full-fledged actress. And, yes, mama Sister Patterson comes along for the ride...with her annoying-ass self. "On this show, I'm trying to follow my dream. I want to be an actress. This show is about the struggles I face and how awkward I get when I'm out of my element. I'm not used to rejection, so being told I'm not right for a part is difficult. So everybody's going to get a look at what I do from day to day, start to finish. But you also get to see me grow." You'll also get to see her out on the town and looking, if not for love then a good time, at least now that she and I Love New York 2 winner Tailor Made are no longer engaged. "He didn't support me in this venture. The actual breakup happened on the show. I was an intense moment, and you'll get to see it. Where one guy left off you know another one's gonna pick up.I don't stay down for long," New York says.

Anyhoo, with a new reality show comes a new home. In Touch caught up with Tiffany at her colorful and chic Hollywood abode. Of her new home, she says, 'When I walked in here the first time, I thought, 'Oh, my goodness. It was amazing." Yeah, yeah, Tiffany. Enjoy it while you can because chances are you'll be looking for a new home when this show wraps. Don't front. As if we couldn't tell, the room Tiffany spends most of her time in is her make-up room--peep the hideous hair pieces hung on her wall as well as slapped on her head--where she has the word 'Princess' emblazoned across one wall. "'I have a 'Princess' tattoo and it's been painted onto my wall in my makeup room. This is where I come to get my look together. This room is very important because I don't have my face on until I leave this chair."

JANET JACKSON TO LAUNCH 'PLEASURE PRINCIPLE' LINGERIE LINE THIS YEAR.

Janet Jackson is set to launch her debut fashion line Pleasure Principle, an 18-piece line named after the hit single from Jackson's 1986 multiplatinum album Control, is designed to be comfortable for a range of sizes - 32A to 44G, and is crafted of mostly satin and lace. Items will be manufactured in China and will be in department stores by late this year or early 2009. Jackson and Australian lingerie designer Bruno Schiavi are currently in negotiations with major chains to carry the line; U.S. stores will be revealed in coming months, with releases in Australia, Japan and Europe to follow. Jackson said the combination of beauty and comfort was the primary driver for the designs, though affordability was also paramount. Price points for the bra and underwear pieces are all under $40. "I hate when you've had on a bra all day long and you just can't wait to take it off - every woman has experienced that. A lot of lingerie tends to leave those marks and be uncomfortable. This line is about detail, fit and comfort as well as beauty and making women feel sexy. It's something for every woman, and I truly do mean that. It makes you feel sexy. I had so much fun designing this," Jackson says.

The singer first unveiled plans for the line in June at the Versace men's wear show in Milan in June, right around the time Jackson and longtime boyfriend, record producer Jermaine Dupri, said they're planning to start a family after the latest tour ends. Jackson said the lingerie line is "definitely" a good jumping-off point for future fashion endeavors.

And presumably there will be no wardrobe malfunctions.

NEW PICS: VANESSA& ANGELA SIMMONS, BOW WOW @ T-PAIN vs DJ IRIE PARTY IN MIAMI, FLORIDA.

Tallahassee's own T-Pain and DJ Irie got buck wild while partying at the Parkwest nighclub in Miami, Florida last Saturday night. Also in attendance was Janelle, former cast member of MTV's Real World Key West. Vanessa Simmons and her baby sister Angela were also there...along with Angela's former boo Bow Wow who looked as if he wanted to give Rev. Run more ammunition to shoot down any intentions the miniature rapper has of ever hooking back up with his daughter...a daughter who is now dating pro skateboarder Terry Kennedy. Or is she?

LISARAYE'S PUBLICIST DOLES OUT ANOTHER VERSION OF WHAT WENT DOWN WITH THE ACTRESS & HER HUSBAND.


LisaRaye McCoy-Misick's, actress and semi First Lady of Turks & Caicos Islands, publicist Lynn Allen Jeter continues to spew her client's side of the story in what many have dubbed As the Turks & Caicos Islands Turns--true drama at its finest. Jeter spoke exclusively with EURweb.com's Lee Bailey and gave him a blow-by-blow account of what (she says) really happened last week during the violent confrontation between LisaRaye and her husband Michael Misick. Unbeknownst to some, it was Michael who asked LisaRaye to fly in so that they could meet with lawyers to discuss their plans to separate, as well as her financial support leading up to the actual divorce, says Jeter. Jeter, who says she was not with LisaRaye when the alleged violence erupted, denied that a "fight" even took place.
"There was no pushing, there was no slugging, there was no swinging of arms, there was no tussle, nothing like that," says Jeter. However, her account of the incident – as told to her by LisaRaye and LisaRaye's cousin Phillip Travis – corroborates much of what has already been reported; that LisaRaye and Travis went into the house against Misick's will; pushing and shoving took place between the two, Misick's sister became involved and LisaRaye was bitten (and bit someone) at some point during the altercation. Her personal security (Travis) was driving, [LisaRaye] was in the back seat, I was in the passenger side of the jeep," Jeter begins. "We pulled up to her home. We had been to the grocery store. She'd bought food to make tacos. So we had groceries in the back of the car. We got up to the house, the guards spoke to her and then proceeded to pick up the phone. [LisaRaye] said, 'Oh you don't have to pick up the phone to announce me.' But he proceeded to do so and closed the door to the guard shack with LisaRaye standing there. …He caught her between the door and him. Her security (Travis) then got out of the car and pulled the door so [the guard] would not hurt her."

But what I've been told by [LisaRaye] and [Travis is that] there was no belligerence. When they arrived, Michael was having a meeting with some of his ministers on the patio. "I was told [LisaRaye] came in, she waved. Two of the people on the patio saw her. But she didn't see Michael. Michael, then, all of a sudden appeared and started walking up the walk toward the house. [LisaRaye] was walking toward their library study, and Michael said, 'You should not be here. What are you doing here?' She said, What are you talking about Michael, this is my home.' They went into the library. And one of Michael's security guards grabbed First Lady's hand and snatched a recorder she had in her hand."

NEW MAG SCANS: THE CAST OF BIGGIE SMALLS BIOPIC 'NOTORIOUS' IN VIBE MAGAZINE.


By now everyone knows that the life and tragic death of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. Biggie Smalls will soon be seen on the big screen in the motion film Notorious starring Brooklyn emcee Jamal 'Gravy' Woolard as Biggie, Antonique Smith as Faith Evans, former 3LW member Naturi Naughton as Lil Kim, Derek Luke as Sean 'Puffy' Combs and the lovely Angela Bassett as Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace. Biggie's son, Christopher 'CJ' Wallace portrays a young version of his father in the film. CJ, 11-years-old says of the father who was shot down when he was just 6 months old, "I'm gonna hold it down for my Dad." To celebrate Biggie's legacy and hip-hop's first real biopic, Vibe magazine has provided an exclusive first look at the cast in their respective roles. Above you'll see a re-creation of Biggie and Faith Evan's infamous 1995 Vibe cover featuring Woolard and Smith.

Smith, who bears a strong resemblance to Faith says she credits the singer with helping keeping her performance Faithful in every way. "We were able to talk about each scene in the movie and what was going on in her mind. I really wanted her to be happy, and she just wanted to be portrayed honestly. I think I did that." Of Jamal's portrayal as Biggie, the final casting decision was made by Mrs. Wallace who said, "It was Jamal's charming personality, warm spirit, wonderful sense of humor and beautiful smile that won my heart." And I think we may be surprised by Naturi's role as Lil Kim in the film. Judging from the pictures below, she's got Kim's nasty-ass stance down pat, don't she?! LOL! This will be Naturi's film debut and the singer says, "I think I did it justice." Former Junior M.A.F.I.A. member Lil Cease, whose a consultant for the film and also makes a surprise cameo says he was blown away by Naturi's acting skills. "Since the first day I rehearsed with her, Naturi knocked that shit out from day one. She's a star in her own way, and you gotta respect that."

The production will move to Los Angeles to film the scenes which will depict on scree, Biggie's final days. Notorious is scheduled to hit theaters in January 2009.
