So, you probably know that being a Simmons kid is no picnic. You might get to see them having all the fun in their reality show, “Run’s House”, but they have to be serious and motivated when doing their thing. A photoshoot, as fun as that sounds, needs focus and concentration. Diggy Simmons, like his older sisters, Vanessa and Angela Simmons, appears to have the same level of focus. Some shots for the newest Run’s House season?


Here’s the behind-the-scenes video of the shoot.
Okay, be honest, Pastryheads. Who do you have a crush on? Diggy or Russy? LOL!
You might have seen this before, or you might not, but a few years back, Diggy Simmons actually hit the studio to rap like his bro, Jojo. Check out the video ‘coz all the family’s there. Justine even raps along, and you can see bits of Angela there. Probably amazed at Diggy’s swagger. LOL!
Cuteness!

So apparently things have been really deep in the relationship department for Vanessa Simmons and you’d never think that Nessa would be so public with her love life. In an interview with Black Voices, Vanessa Simmons uttered the L word to express her feelings for her boo, Michael Wayans.
What can we expect for the second season of ‘Daddy’s Girls’?
Beyond Pastry, although it has grown bigger than anything Angela and I ever expected, I finally introduce my boyfriend that I have been hiding. Well, not hiding, but I am a very private person when it comes to relationships. Everyone’s like, “You can’t keep not saying anything.” So, now it’s out there, and my boyfriend will appear in a couple of the episodes. I am nervous. I can say that. But I love my relationship, and I love my boyfriend. And now it’s out there for everyone to see. You’ll love him just as much as I love him. He’s hilarious. My boyfriend comes from a very funny family.
What is your boyfriend’s name?His name is Michael Wayans. That’s all I’m going to say. That’s my baby, that’s my heart. I love him very, very much.
Read the rest of Vanessa Simmons’ interview.
There must be a lot of broken hearted guys out there if they read this interview! LOL. Be happy for her, guys! Can’t wait to see Michael on future episodes of Daddy’s Girls.
But doesn’t this bring you to wonder about Angela Simmons’ boyfriend, Skillz? When is Angela going to talk about him? Any thoughts?

You’re not supposed to believe everything the gossip blogs and magazines say. However our pals at Mediatakeout.com do have a point. We all know Angela Simmons loves to accessorize, but what’s with that very large solitaire diamond ring doing on her left ring finger? Doesn’t it make you wonder? Is she engaged? She has had a steady boo since last winter– Oscar “Skillz” Salinas of Grammy-winning producer duo (and brothers) Play-N-Skillz.

Play-N-Skillz. Oscar "Skillz" Salinas on the left, Juan "Play" Salinas on the right.
Well, while waiting for confirmation, let’s just talk fashion as usual, shall we?
Last weekend, after attending her sister’s birthday bash, she was seen in New York, having lunch with friends at Da Silvano restaurant. Angela then shopped at the American Apparel in the West Village. Effortlessly stylish, Angela trots on the sidewalks of NYC.

Looks very much like a scene from Angela and Vanessa Simmons’ reality show: Daddy’s Girls. Were there any television cameras around?


Okay, take notes girls. Angela’s formula to looking fabulously casual is: a plain white oversized t-shirt + black nylon activewear jacket + black leggings + sandals + aviator shades + loop earrings and last but not least, add a totally different but head-turning color splash: a bright red bag.


Oh and last but not least, invest in people’s love for you. Add a sprinkle of sweet smile, and wave a bit to the paparazzi. Should there be no paparazzi around, just wave hi to people in general. It never hurts to be nice.
Okay, speaking of love and all things nice, let’s go back to the engagement thing…
Vote now and spill your thoughts, people!
The last episode of Run’s House was just okay instead of excellent, telling viewers how Rev. Run made a deal with JoJo that if he can cook a ‘healthy’ fried chicken, he can get the keys of the Phantom and drive it to the city. First of all, there’s no such thing as a ‘healthy’ fried chicken, and second of all… turned out that JoJo didn’t get to drive the Phantom to the city. Another story arc was Justine, Diggy and Russy begging Rev. Run for a puppy to be their dog Pal’s friend, but no matter how hard the three tried to train Pal -as this was a requirement from Rev. Run, they still didn’t get a dog. True it’s good not to give in all the time to everybody, but well, the episode wasn’t all cheerful.
However, there are some notable moments from the show:

Russy’s attempt to taste a dog treat. Eeeeww! LOL!

Don’t you just love Angela’s expression when she tries out JoJo’s chicken?

And didn’t you just laugh out loud when Vanessa hugged JoJo and he made this face? Siblings! LOL. Look at that headpiece on Angela’s head. Way cute.

Looks like Angela’s looking fly. But the Daddy’s Girls star doesn’t look cold thanks to that off-shoulder top. The rest of the family looked like they’re living on ice. But they face the chills with style.

Even when she’s chillin’ at home, Vanessa Simmons always managed to look stylish. Here she paired an oversized Adidas hoodie with a set of leggings and thigh-high socks.

Hang on, is that Russy? When did he grow up? He looks great in that bomber jacket!

Not to be outdone by his little brother, Diggy Simmons paired a striped hoodie with this black bomber vest. Nice look for an aspiring fashionista, Dig.

Although the chicken-frying gig didn’t work for him, JoJo Simmons scored big on the fly factor with this striped hoodie.

Justine looked HOT in this coat. Tell you what, Pastryheads, coats can make you look great as long as you know how to wear them. Maybe Justine’s attitude helped her to look great although as you might have seen, it must be cold that day they trained Pal!
Who do you think wore tha best warm-up gear, Pastryhead?

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up, Pastryheads?
Some of you go straight to the bathroom to brush your teeth, while some of you laze around in bed. Well maybe you ought to try meditation, because Pastry Shoes creator / Daddy’s Girls star, Vanessa Simmons, does meditation in her morning routine and she feels great. Vanessa blogged about her inner yogi at GlobalGrind:
Hey Grinders
Today, I woke up feeling extra good about life and I decided to do something new!
I study the habits of different people I admire and today was my Oprah day! I read that she wakes up every morning between 4 and 5, so I awoke at 5:45 (pressed snoozed 3 x’s!) and started my day! I spent the first hour just meditating (at this early in the morning my mind was extra quiet) it was GREAT!
There are so many negative forces in the world that u have to create your positivity and that is exactly what I did! My song of the week is Mariah Carey “Can’t Take That Away” it’s a very inspirational song and got me through alot of hard times growing up (kids making fun of me for being different, picture that :p)
I now realize that “Everything I’m not made me everything I am today”…
Watch Runs House tonight @ 10
