'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Kimora Lee Simmons is seriously looking for a fresh start.
The over-the-top fashion model-turned merchandise mogul is not only launching her own Style network reality show, 'Life in the Fab Lane' (premiering Aug. 5), she's also looking for new digs.
According to the New York Daily News, the statuesque Baby Phat Fashions empress is trying to sell the palatial palace she shared with her soon-to-be ex-husband Russell Simmons. Though separated, she and the hip-hop impresario are still business partners.
Their sprawling Saddle River, N.J. estate, once featured on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' and MTV's 'Cribs' is on sale for $23 million.
With 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and two pools, the French-style manor has a cobblestone driveway, sits on four acres that include statues, a 15-seat theater, wine cellar, exercise gym, dining room with gold-leafed ceiling.
There's even a bathroom with a marble and gold toilet.
Talk about sitting pretty.
The Simmonses -- who announced their separation last year -- bought the home in 2001 for $13 million.
Although the mansion is repped by luxury real estate powerhouse Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Realty, there haven't been any takers since it went on the market March 13.
"We are looking for a serious buyer for this property," broker Stephanie Rosken said.
At $23 million smackaroos, she better be.

People change...Kimora has the right to change. If leaving her husband and the house is what she wants to do ... so be it. She is the queen of Fabolosity after all. Anything holding her back from being her most fabulous-self...needs to go. Even a $23 million dollar mansion!

she only needed him for love and if he couldn't do that, well i can see her point,POOR LOVER, that would be the pits! i wouldn't waste my time either, thats the least he should be doing, men don't know it but a good lover is the key,if you ain't doing that right,you're played, remember that, women love sex, probably more so than men, and thats a FACT!so take notes! be all you can be and more!

hmmmmmm..... can u say GOLDDIGGER, i haven't liked her since her public announcment concerning her husband's private parts. since then i have scrutinized her appearances, then i saw her on Tyra's show with her 2 daughters and she thought it was cute to have them on the show supposedly dancing, but they were just grinding their little bodies. to me the lady has no class. i like his brother's wife much more.

Sometimes you have to know twosides of the story. I like them both she having a cocky side to like enough about the business to survive. And he learning and investing the money that he has made to become wealthy enough to enbjoy life. I commend them both. Show me how is all I ask.
