Kimora Lee Simmons is back in the reality saddle. And this time, she's making it more business than personal. Get the deets and first promo pic (above) from "House of Fab", plus rumor control on "R&B Divas" casting news....
Newly single Kimora has confirmed she's moving on with her newest reality show. It's called "Kimora: House of Fab" and she dished to WWD what it's all about:
My businesses have evolved a bit. My former life is gone. I have sold all of those companies from my prior life, and my new project is JustFab.com. This is all about fashion and the tech sector, and how I have married fashion to the tech aspect, and that’s a big thing,” said Simmons, who continued, “This is an office environment with more of an ensemble. It is more like ‘The Office’ or ‘Ugly Betty.’ It is a team of people at all times, with lots of coming and going. It is less of my kids and my personal side.”
The show tapes at the JustFab.com Manhattan Beach, CA offices, as she's the current President & Creative Director of the shoe company. She dished on the decision to make this series more business-focused than her previous "Life In The Fab Lane" series:
“I want this to be educational about what I choose. Yes, I’m quirky, loud and crazy. Yes, my kids are fun, but there is nothing disrespectful. It is done with integrity. There is nothing I can’t look back on when I’m 40 or 50 or that my mom can’t see.”
She tweeted a pic of herself filming some confessionals for the show. And there will be eight 1-hour long episodes. The show will premiere Jan. 23 at 9 p.m. on the Style Network. We'll be watching...
The "R&B Divas" are prepping their next season of drama on TV One. And earlier this week, we posted that sites were reporting that two new divas--Angie Stone & Sunshine Anderson--were asked to join the cast. It was also reported that Faith was not returning.
A member of the executive production team now tells TheYBF.com the deal.
"I'm not sure who [those sites] got that info from, the info is not accurate," the source tells us. "Our team (the producers and network) is still having ongoing dialog about Season 2 Atlanta. There have been NO offers made to any new ladies at this time. Faith Evans is still a part of the cast.
But as for Nicci, she's still axed from the cast, as we previously reported.
