Kimora Lee Simmons -who in March filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Russell Simmons - spoke candidly with Giant Magazine for their June/July issue.
On Marriage:
“When you get married, you’re forced to drink the milk long after it’s spoiled.”
On Tabloid Talk:
“I hear the craziest things, like, ‘She has to have a champagne glass filled within a quarter inch of the lip,’ ” says Simmons, who dismisses any notion that she might be an “extreme diva.”
On Kids & TV:
“The reality, is I’m a dedicated mother [to daughters Ming Lee, 8, and Aoki Lee, 5] and a very kind, funny and hardworking person. My reality-TV show helps to shed a bit of light, but even that’s glamorized.”
On the Haters & Life:
“Sometimes people who don’t know me say really cruel things that are way off base. But you can’t care too much about what people think of you. You have to establish your own set of core values and live by them. Do your best, and live with the repercussions of your choices – good or bad.”
Kimora is currently dating actor-model Djimon Hounsou and celebrating the 2nd season of her reality show on The Style Network.

Earlier this week actor and public speaker Hill Harper read excerpts from his newest book Letters to a Young Sister: Define Your Destiny in Harlem. The book (which is in stores now) is the second part to Letters to a Young Brother: Define Your Destiny, which he released last year to rave reviews.
Letters to a Young Sister unfolds as a series of letters written by older brother Hill to a universal Young Sistah. She’s up against the same challenges as every young woman: from relating to her parents and dealing with peer pressure, to juggling schoolwork and crushes and keeping faith in the face of heartache. In his straight-talking style, Hill helps his young sister build self-confidence, self-reliance, self-respect, and encourages her on her journeys towards becoming a strong and successful woman. The book also includes contributions from admirable women like Angela Basset, Ciara, Michelle Obama, Tatyana Ali, Nikki Giovanni, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrikck, Eve, Malinda Williams and more.
For more information and to purchase a copy, make sure you visit Hill’s official site.

I don’t know, but the costars of these movies don’t always end up too good. I also know some of you would oddly enough - like to see Meagan go through that.
Miss Good is working on a number of projects this year, including the film The Love Guru with Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake. Saw V is set for release October 24th…
