KIMORA LEE SIMMONS NEWS: MOGUL SUED BY MACY'S; WANTS A BRAND NEW BABY FOR X-MAS; MODEL FAKES & FRONTS ON THE FABULOSITY OF HER NEW HOME.

Damn, Kimora! According to the New York Post's Page Six column, Kimora Lee Simmons overcharged Macy's for her beauty products and then refused to pay back the extra profit, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court. In September 2006, four months after Simmons separated from her multimillionaire husband, Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons, she signed an agreement to provide Macy's with her line of cosmetics. But then she allegedly jacked up the price of her beauty products.

Simmons declined comment.

Rap mogul Russell Simmons' estranged wife Kimora Lee and mother of his two daughters is asking Santa for a special present this Christmas--another baby with her new man, model-turned-actor Djimon Hounsou--and she hopes to have a bun baking in her maternal oven before her divorce is finalized from Russell. Ain't she bolder than a mug?! Anywhoo, when Kimora chatted with a camera crew the other day at St. Vincent Hospital, where she brought daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee to visit sick children and spread holiday cheer. A source tells New York gossip column PageSix, "They brought gifts and read stories and played. When she was asked what's on her Christmas list, Lee responded, 'A baby!'" Kimora and Djimon have been dating since the statuesque fashion mogul ended her eight-year marriage to Simmons in 2006.

The former Kimora Lee, whose father is African-American and mother is Japanese-American, was a model, for Chanel and others, when she began dating Simmons, a cofounder of Def Jam Records. The pair met in November 1992 during New York City's Fashion Week. She was 17 and about to finish high school; he was 35 and a self-admitted ladies man. Six years later, Russell, 48, and Kimora, 30 were married by Simmons's brother, Pentecostal minister and rapper Joey "Reverend Run" Simmons of Run DMC, on the Caribbean island of St. Bart's on Dec. 20, 1998.


Meanwhile, reality TV has become more phony by the minute. In a recent installment of Kimora's Style network reality show, Life in the Fab Lane, Simmons appears to pony up $15 million for a gigantic mansion with a glittering view high in the Hollywood Hills. Don't buy it. The blinged-out bi-racial babe did not buy the house on the show. And a little research of public property records reveals that the newly single mother of two actually paid far less for the house she actually bought than her vanity show would would have you believe.

CHECK OUT PICS OF THE REAL HOUSE KIMORA PURCHASED AFTER THE JUMP!

In reality, Simmons paid $5.9 million for a 5,923 square foot Tudor style house in the Beverly Hills Post Office with seven bedrooms, eight and a half bathrooms, and no view to speak of. In a delightful twist of irony, her new next door neighbor is none other than former reality star Jessica Simpson.

Note to Kimora: Check your rear view. You're struggling star power is causing congestion in the Fab lane.

Well, literally a couple of them are indeed related to her. The two guys on the far left in the second pic in the second row are actually Bey's cousins.

DAMON WAYANS CLOWNS HURRICANE KATRINA EVACUEES IN NEW SITCOM; HAS HE WRITTEN A CHECK THAT HIS OFTEN TIMES-UN-FUNNY-ASS CAN'T CASH?

I mean, really! I swear, the higher an un-funny monkey climbs, the more his un-funny ass shows. Just ask that petite-looking ape who calls himself 50 Cent. That's real talk too. Damon Wayans will not be satisfied until someone kicks him dead on the back of the upper-right corner of his left earlobe with a rusty, steel-toed cowboy boot. I'm surprised none of his kids were born with certified mental retardation, with the way he makes fun of people.

For nearly 20 years Damon Wayans has been one of the most recognized comedian/actors of African American decent. His most successful solo venture to date has been My Wife and Kids, which was canceled in 2005. This time around Wayans is taking a family approach to it again. But this family isn't doing all that great. In fact, the plot line centers around a brother from an often times undeservedly maligned demographic. "It's about a Katrina transplant who's got diabetes and a clubbed foot and he's pissed off," laughed Wayans during a recent chat with EURweb. "They turn on the TV and just let him talk."

People in the black media who have had the opportunity to speak with any of the Wayans know the jokes are flying a mile a minute, but Damon says he can find humor anywhere ... even in Katrina evacuees. "It's called Mista Leroy Jones, it's a comedy. Just because it came from Katrina doesn't mean it ain't funny." We thought 'C'mon, man! No you ain't doin' no comedy about no Katrina evacuees?' Wayans answered the unasked question by saying the following:

"Comedy has kept us alive. We've laughed in the face of things worse than that. This is real and this is a voice that hasn't been heard." Ok, Katrina evacuee comedy, fine! But why the brother gotta have a clubbed foot? "Because I was born with a clubbed foot," reasoned Wayans.

"In order to talk noise you have to be able to see why and there's nothing like a orthopedic shoe to let you know, yeah, he must be mad. Carrying around that damn shoe all the time makes him real mad."

Hopefully the concept of Katrina comedy doesn't make the real evacuees real damn mad. In the meantime Wayans tells EURweb that he has just submitted the pilot to ABC for approval a couple of week ago. We'll keep our fingers crossed for him.

Mmmmmm-hmmmmm. He gon learn.

FOXY AIMS FOR EARLY RELEASE FROM RIKERS; CLAIMS SHE'S 'THE BLACK KIM KARDASHIAN.'

Two words: Yeah, right! You'll understand what I mean after you finish reading the blog post below.

Foxy Brown is in solitary confinement at Rikers Island, but her husky voice took over Chung King Studios in downtown Manhattan last night: “I still make the front-page news if I just sneeze!” Foxy, who’s serving a year in prison for violating her probation (with seventy-six days in solitary for fighting), sets a fierce tone on Rumors of Fox from Brooklyn’s Don Diva (Koch/Black Hand) with the brazen braggadocio fans have been waiting six years for.

Though she’s been in the hole since October 23rd — twenty-three hours a day, with one hour outside the cell for physical activity — Foxy’s still actively involved with the release of Don Diva (set to hit stores on February 5th), changing the album art and answering fan mail from inside. The label considers the street album a prelude to her long-awaited Black Roses. Don Diva, recorded before Brown was sentenced, encompasses Foxy’s experiences over the past few years: the physical altercations, court dates, tabloid talk, going deaf, undergoing surgery, regaining her hearing. “It’s about everything she went through,” Mixtape MC and Black Hand labelmate Grafh explains. “It’s gonna be the biggest comeback since Mimi.” LMAO!

On the moody Still Strugglin’, Foxy goes from calling herself “the black Kim Kardashian” to revealing “I remember I was five when a nigga first put his hands on me.”

If Foxy has this much to get off her chest after losing her hearing, imagine what she’ll unleash after spending twenty-three hours a day alone, isolated in lockdown. “She’s focused. Her spirits is high,” says Foxy’s manager Chaz Williams, who has filed for Brown’s early release and hopes she’ll be home by Christmas. “She surprises me sometimes.”

EDDIE SAYS HE HAS NO INTENTION OF EVER MEETING MEL'S DAUGHTER; VISITATION RIGHTS IS JUST A WASTE OF TIME.

Now, this dude know he's wrong. As wrong as Star Jones Reynolds chilling at the beach in a sarong-less two-piece bathing suit--before and after she lost weight.

London's The Sun newspaper is reporting that lawyers for ex-couple Eddie Murphy and Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown were in court last week trying to iron out visitation rights for their 7-month-old daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Brown, currently competing on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, says Eddie told his lawyers he has no intention of ever meeting his daughter, so attempting to arrange visitation rights is just a waste of time.

Murphy initially denied he was the father of Angel after he announced his breakup with Mel B on a Dutch TV show. But a DNA test eventually proved him wrong. On Wednesday the judge was forced to adjourn the visitation hearing for another three months after Murphy would not submit an offer, The Sun reported.

A source said: “Mel was furious. She had been planning to take Angel to the courthouse to meet her dad for the first time. But when she heard Eddie would only be sending along his lawyers she decided to do the same. She expected at least some kind of an offer. Either to arrange maintenance payments for Angel, or at least to arrange seeing her."

In related news, Brown has thrown the Spice Girls' reunion tour rehearsals into chaos - after making it to the finals of hit reality show Dancing with the Stars. The singer and professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy are desperate to beat rivals Marie Osmond and racing driver Helio Castroneves in the popular TV series. But Brown's dedication to the contest - which reaches its climax on Monday (Nov. 26th) - is reportedly playing havoc with her commitments to the Spice Girls. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "The girls are really proud of her but at the same time they're worried that Mel will give her all to the dance show and be exhausted for the start of the tour."

The Spice Girls kick off their world tour in Vancouver, Canada, on 2 December (07) - just six days after the show's finale.

STEVE HARVEY'S EX-WIFE FILES LAWSUIT; ACUSES COMEDIAN OF FRAUD, ADULTERY, PHYSICAL & MENTAL ABUSE

TheSmokingGun.com is reporting that his ex-wife, Mary Lee Harvey, claims that she was conned into a quickie divorce engineered by the entertainer and his lawyer, who allegedly sought to keep private details about the star's adultery, poor and neglectful parenting, and "physical and mental abuse" of his ex-spouse. Mary Lee Harvey claims, in a lawsuit filed against her ex-lawyer, that she was defrauded by the comedian and the couple's longtime attorney, who represented both sides in their November 2005 divorce. She alleges that she was unaware of her right to independent counsel and, as a result, was severely shortchanged when it came to alimony, division of community property, and child support. The complaint, filed in District Court yesterday (11-20-07) in Harris County, Texas, claims that the couple's attorney, Ricky Anderson, told her she could not legally get more than $1000 monthly in child support for the couple's son.

The website's report goes on to say that Mary Lee Harvey alleges that Anderson was actually looking out for Steve Harvey's interests, and sought to protect his client's "packaged, do-good, likeable, Christian-type image in the public eye." Anderson and the comedian sought to "quickly and quietly dispose of the divorce" because there were "many things that Steve Harvey ... did during the Harveys' marriage that he did not want the public to know about."
