Everyone looks great! I’m glad to see that he and Kimora at least got together for his birthday party, despite them being separated. That was sweet of the family to put together a birthday party for Russy.

Great to see Kimora and Russell are still cool despite not being together anymore.
Always something surreal to see your ex and your current man at the same event, and r cool with each other. Now thats a real good sight, all love no resentment.
Everyone looks good, apart from RuPaul lookin chick in the last large photo. Who is she??!!

The modern family really leaves alot to be desired. There are no standards for they young people to follow. The little girl looks just like Russel and the oldest looks just like Kimora. I’m glad they had a nice time.
I just wish people would be more traditional Mommy & Daddy not mommy and her man and my Daddy and his boo and my Mommy’s New man and so on and on.
Get it together people.

I LOVE KIMORA AND RUSSELL, IT’S GREAT THEY GET ALONG. I THINK THEY BOTH ARE GREAT AND VERY DOWN TO EARTH. AND THEIR DAUGHTERS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THEY KEEP THEM GROUNDED AS WEL. WHY IS LL COOL J WIFE NEVER IS WITH HIM. I GUESS SHE DON’T NEED ALL THAT HOOPLA. I GUESS SHE FIGURES CELEBRITES ARE JUST PEOPLE TOO, JUST PEOPLE WITH MONEY.

I swear I’d eat Idris up like a cookie.
Aaaaaw, that was nice of his beard to throw him a bash. Happy half a century Russ.
After catching a glimpse of Kimora’s show, every hope I ever had of her girls growing up “normal” went out the window. lol. They’re gonna be soooooo extra — just like they momma.

Damn I thought he was 52, oh well happy b-day.
Patty’s touching Alicia breast while Alicia’s catching the holy ghost…okay.
Kimora and Gabrielle dresses are pretty.
Gayle is ugly and always has been to me.
Everybody else is Fabulous.

Something about Rev Runs facial expression is always too cocky. He looks too uptight, and stuck up. And to commenter # 9 - GreatestLoveofAll - that lady in the picture with Gayle is Egypt. She was on the radio station Power 105.1 in New York with Ed Lover. Now shes a correspondent on the Maury Povich show, and she works on the Black Carpet on BET.

I SWEAR people read too much into photos….Patti’s hand is up - not on Alicia’s breast…the angle all the black just makes it look that way!
I’m more fascinated by Kerry Brothers and A.Keys looking all cozy…somehow never really saw them as a couple, but I give it to Alicia she keeps her business out of the streets.
It looked like a great time…but Kimora doesn’t look good here.
And I have to wonder if Ming and Aoki ever get to hang with kids their age???
But hey, they have a nice life so does it really matter….kids playing with kids their own age in the hood and look how that goes…you’ve seen the wire right? LOL
32.
WOW
Monday, October 1, 2007 /
Yea its really nice to see them getting along inspite of their breakup! That’s really nice!
I love Kimora! The youngest daughter is sooo funny!!

This could only happen in hollywood cause if it was me and my ex husband threw a party for me and brought his girlfriend with him, it just would not go down like that. I could not have been married with somebody and still be hanging out? Why did you two get a divorce then. It’s just not right, it’s so wrong
And if I was Djimon I would not even feel right being at his party and all up on his ex wife all like that.

It’s wonderful that he and Kimora maintain a very good relationship even after divorce. That’s the way it should be especially if you’re raising children together.

I am confused or not confused but…aren’t they still married???….not a good look. Throwing her HUSBAND a party is AWESOME-bringing the boyfrined to the party uh NOT! ..those girls should be confused. Does anyone know if they are divorced yet? In some states if a couple have been separated for more than a year it doesn’t matter if they date, but have they been spearated that long???
Questions Questions!!

There is nothing freaky or odd about this situation. This is called how you handle divorce the grown and mature way, especially when there are kids involved.
I know so many people are used to seeing folks acting a monkey after divorce, so it is odd to see people move on after divorce with peace.
Hats off to Ki-Ki and Russell for doing it grown and sexy style.

Damn, I knew someone would take a shot at Ming Lee. Leave that little girl alone and let her live. She’s a little girl, she don’t need to be worrying about weight issues and she’s a growing child. You make it sound like she’s obese. I have never feel it’s right to takes shots at people’s kids. That’s why some celebs keep their kids tucked away from the limelight. I like seeing Ming and Aoki Lee out and about, but really it’s just baby fat, funny “Baby Phat”. Anyway, she filled out and so what if she did. She is not fat

Umm…last I heard they weren’t even divorced yet…but anyway…
I wonder if that dress is from the KLS collection. I wish she would rock her natural curly hair sometimes…can’t believe she did that surgery…she looked waay more black and asian back in the day.
Aoki and Ming…off the chain! They are a str8 trip

The Simmons are not divorced, yet.
It does look strange that Patti’s hand is so close to Alicia’s breasts but I think it was an off-key hi-five. Patti was ready but Alicia wasn’t paying full attention. They all look a little buzzed so that makes sense.

This is a bizarre sight to say the least. It is really not a matter of maturity but respect. One should not bring there current fling to their HUSBAND’S bday gig on the down low or up high! I saw Kimora’s show and she is sooooo arrogant and unreasonable, spending RUSSEL’S money like what. But hey, who am i to judge…I don’t know any of the facts. Let peace ring.

Thank you #80
I’m glad someone understands and feels the same I do about when people do stuff like that. It is really not a matter of maturity but respect not to bring your new boyfriend to your husband birthday celebration. If it was me and it was my party She would already know it’s not going down like that. We can still be cool and everything and have family, friends and my kids there but she would not bring her boyfriend to my party.

Will and Jada are the originators of how a blended family should look like. As well as a successful marriage in the entertainment industry. Not Demi and Ashton! Whoever wrote that must be three years old, but they are a great blended family.
