Kimora Lee Simmon's
iconic Baby Phat brand is re- ceiving a glam makeover with a little help from some millennial fashion and beauty tastemakers — her daughters!
On Tuesday, Kimora, 45, an- nounced the launch of Baby Phat Beauty with her daughters, Ming Lee, 18, and Aoki Lee, 21, taking the legacy of the famed brand to a new level with a multigenerational flare.
The new beauty line revealed its first product, the Shimmer Dreams three-piece kit, which is equipped with a glittering high shine lip gloss, a nourishing
hand lotion and an iridescent high-shimmer body spray. The nine-item collection is available in three individual sets, each de- fined by different fragrances that reflect the three personali- ties of the mother-daughter col- laborators.
"We're a family business ... a heritage brand. It's an old meets new legacy kind of a situation for me," Kimora tells PEOPLE of working on the beauty line with her daughters before adding that with the line, she's adding "a little bit of luxury, a little bit of sassiness, a little bit of glitter and glitz to your day."
Rihanna revealed that she does still see Chris. “We went to a mutual friend’s party on a yacht [in St. Tropez],” she said. “It’s awkward because I still love him. My stomach drops. I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the
outer part of me. I have to maintain that and suppress it and interpret it and under- stand it and understand that it’s not going to go away. That is peaceful. If you don’t under- stand those feelings, you can make a lot of mistakes.”
Brandy and Monica Make Verzuz History With Over 1.2M Viewers
Kanye West’s latest inter- view — with Nick Cannon for his “Cannon’s Class” podcast — is, unsurprisingly, all over the place, with the rapper dis- cussing religion, Planned Par- enthood, Forbes, his presidential campaign and the 2009 VMAs (again), over the course of approximately 44 minutes. (And that’s just part 1!).
That said, one of the most concrete details from the inter- view comes from West dis- cussing his personal finances. Apparently, his increasingly elaborate Sunday Service pro- ductions have quite the high price tag attached, which West, 43, says he paid for with his Yeezy marketing
Rihanna will never stop loving Chris Brown. The singer spoke to Oprah Win- frey for the Sept. 2 episode of Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversa- tions, and got deep about her relationship with Chris. Dur- ing the chat, she admitted that Chris is her “true love,” and said that she considers him the “love of [her] life.”
“We’ve been working on our friendship again and now we’re very, very close friends,” Rihanna explained. “We’ve built a trust again, and that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will. That’s not anything that we’re going to try to change. That’s not something you can shut off if you’ve ever been in love.”

Kanye West Says He Spent $50M On Sunday Services In 2019
Brandy and Monica were the latest musicians to battle each other on Verzuz and it cer- tainly was one for the (awk- ward) ages. The beloved R&B artists not only squashed a decades-long beef (or did they?), but the session itself shattered records, breaking 1 million concurrent views and peaking at 1.2 million.
“New record tonight: 1.2M+” tweeted Verzuz, which has or- ganized battles between its co- founders Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott along with Teddy Riley and Babyface, among many others.
Perhaps that means a new tour or single is on the horizon for the “The Boy Is Mine” duo?

It may be wishful thinking, if Monica’s disposition Monday night was any indication. Still, the battle itself was peak 90s Black girl nostalgia for those of us who took to social media over the past week to declare our loyalty behind Team Brandy or Team Monica.
budget.
“I spent every dime that I
have for marketing from Yeezy on Sunday Service,” West claimed. “Every dollar I had. I spent $50 million last year on Sunday Service if you
add up the operas, if you add up the flights. It was 120 peo- ple going to Jamaica. The Yeezys, they were selling them- selves. So instead of paying for ads, I invested it in the church. I invested in spreading gospel.”
Star Jones Co-Hosted Virtual Joe Biden/Kamala Harris Fundraiser
Star Jones co-hosted a vir- tual fundraiser for Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris on Tuesday (Sept. 1) — and sent out an e-mail Monday asking friends to “max out for Ka- mala” at the event.
“I’m writing to encourage you to support my friend of 30 years, Sen. Kamala Harris,” the former “View” host wrote. She said she’s co-hosting with singer Andra Day and “other longtime friends and support- ers.”

Harris is expected to speak at the event. Tickets start at $2,800. Supporters who fork
over $100,000 can join and participate in a private pre- event reception with Harris.
