Kimora Lee Simmons is bringing the heat back to reality television!
The fashion mogul, businesswoman, and mother of three is returning to the screen with a brand new show 'Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane', set to premiere on the E! Channel this December.
You might remember Simmons from her hit reality series 'Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane', which originally aired from 2007 to 2011 and gave fans a glimpse into her glamorous life as the ex-wife of Russell Simmons.
You might also know her for her iconic fashion powerhouse 'Baby Phat', which she launched in 1999.
Known for its signature rhinestone cat logo, 'Baby Phat' became a household name in the fashion industry and was worn by A-listers.
Now, over a decade later, she is back and better than ever.
With so much time passing, of course, things have changed, and the fashion icon has experienced some growth along with her children, who are not so little anymore.
Back in the day, the 50-year-old fashion designer's reality show was known for its drama, style, and behind-the-scenes looks at Simmons' career and family.
It gave fans a glimpse into her life as a mother to Ming Lee Simmons, who is now 25, and Aoki Lee Simmons, 21, her daughters with ex-husband Russell Simmons.
The theme for the rendition of the reality show still maintains family values, the joys of juggling motherhood, and Simmons' relationship with her children.

Hollywood star Jared Leto under fire for misconduct allegations
Hollywood actor Jared Leto, known for his roles in films like House of Gucci and Suicide Squad , now finds himself at the centre of serious allegations. Nine women have come forward accusing the 53-year-old star of predatory and inappropriate behaviour. Some are even claiming the incidents occurred when they were minors. The controversy reignited recently after Los Angeles DJ Allie Teilz shared a decade-old Facebook post on Instagram. She alleged that Leto tried to force himself on her backstage when she was just 17. 'He knew my age and didn't care,' Teilz said. 'What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' She described the encounter vividly: 'You're not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you… in a kilt and a snow hat'. Model Laura La Rue also spoke out, recounting an unsettling experience from 2008 when she was 16. She said Leto asked her age and, despite knowing she was underage, asked for her phone number, according to People. La Rue recalled visiting his Los Angeles home in 2009, where he allegedly flirted and teased her. She also claimed that when she was 17, Jared Leto once walked out of a room completely naked. 'I thought maybe that's just what grown men did,' she said. Another woman described a disturbing incident where Leto, during a visit to his home, exposed himself and masturbated in front of her after she turned 18. He reportedly grabbed her hand and asked her to spit on him. The woman also said their relationship began with flirty texts while she was still underage. Leto's representatives have strongly denied all allegations. A spokesperson said the communications with La Rue 'contain nothing sexual or inappropriate' and claimed she later applied to be Leto's assistant, which La Rue denies. Regarding Teilz's accusations, the rep called them 'demonstrably false.' The actor himself has yet to comment publicly on the matter. One anonymous accuser told Air Mail , 'It's been an open secret for a long time.' The flood of claims against Jared Leto underscores the need for deeper scrutiny and justice in Hollywood and beyond. As this story develops, it will be crucial to watch how the actor responds and what legal or industry actions follow. Meanwhile, the voices of these women demand attention and respect, urging a culture of transparency and safety for all. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway's ‘Cursed Child'
Tom Felton, best known for his iconic role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, is enchanting fans once again. This November, he will reprise his role on Broadway in the acclaimed play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child . This marks his first time on the New York stage and a magical return to the wizarding world after 15 years, according to Entertainment Now. Felton's stint at the Lyric Theatre will run for 19 weeks, from 11 November to 22 March. This makes him the first original Harry Potter film actor to join the stage production. The play continues the story 19 years after the original saga ended. Now, Draco Malfoy is no longer a schoolboy but a father navigating the challenges of adulthood alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The actor shared his excitement on Instagram. He teased fans with a clip of himself donning his signature platinum blond hair and wand. 'Guess who's back,' he captioned, sparking a wave of enthusiasm from Potterheads worldwide. Comments poured in, including cries of 'Oh my Dumbledore, what is happening? This is incredible,' highlighting just how eagerly awaited this return is. In an interview with Today , Felton described the experience as a 'pinch-me situation.' He reflected, 'I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now I get to step back into his shoes, as a father this time, in a new story.' At 37, Felton is the same age as Draco in the play, which adds a poignant layer to his performance. 'I know him quite well as a kid. I don't know him that well as an adult. So that's the exciting challenge ahead for me,' he explained. Felton's return is not just a nostalgic trip but a full-circle moment. 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life,' he said. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me… It feels surreal to step back into his shoes – and of course, his iconic platinum blond hair. I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world'. The original films are still beloved, and an HBO series is rekindling interest among younger generations. Felton's return to Draco Malfoy offers a bridge between past and present. Tickets for the Broadway run are available online, priced in US dollars but roughly equivalent to between R1,800 and R2,500 per seat, depending on seating and booking time. This is a rare chance to see an original cast member bring new life to a much-loved character on one of the world's most prestigious stages. In the words of producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, 'Tom's return to Hogwarts connects generations of fans and revitalises a cherished narrative.' For anyone who grew up with the books and films, or for those discovering the magic anew, this is a moment to celebrate. Draco Malfoy is back – and this time, he's a father with a story all his own.
