Julie Henderson bikini pics! (10/5)

Russell owns something incriminating on her, right? Like she hit and killed a homeless man when she was 19 and Russell has two minutes of security camera footage locked in his safe. I'm just trying to make sense of this relationship. Money can only take you so far when you're that damn ugly.

Russell Simmons in Miami (10/4)

Sure I love making fun of celebrities, but from time to time I also like to recognize those that give back to the community. For example, here's Russell Simmons in Miami on Sunday taking time from his busy schedule to teach an underprivileged youth how to read. Kudos to you Russell!

UPDATE: I've just been informed that that little girl is actually Russell's girlfriend Julie Henderson. If you'll excuse me, I need to go take a cold shower.

Ashley Dupre at a nightclub in New York earlier this year

Remember Ashley Dupre? She was the hooker at the center (sometimes on the bottom, sometimes on top) of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal last year. Well she hasn't gone away. In fact, music mogul Russell Simmons has taken a "special" interest in her. From Janet Charlton's Hollywood:

Russell Simmons has taken Ashley Dupre under his wing and he’s “mentoring” her career. (Friends suspect there’s more than “mentoring” going on, but that’s a matter of opinion.) For whatever reason, Simmons, after meeting Ashley in a yoga class, has decided to help her develop a singing career. So he says. Not only that, but he’s trying to sell an Ashley Dupre reality show to either E! or MTV where he has connections.

What an admirable gesture by Russell to take an ex-whore under his wing. The man is a true humanitarian. In order to get her singing voice up to par, I wouldn't be surprised if he's working on throat exercises with her daily. Of course Ashley's newfound vocal talent is no surprise to former Governor Spitzer -- he already knew she could use her mouth to make money. *rimshot* . . . or perhaps more appropriately, *rimjob*

Julie Henderson and Russell Simmons in Miami (3/13)

Remember those pics of Russell Simmons and his girlfriend Julie Henderson I posted earlier this week? In a shocking development, the model's friends think Russell is a little bit creepy. From the New York Post:

The 51-year-old hip-hop mogul squired the 23-year-old grapefruit heiress who shows off plenty of freckles in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue to the Art for Life benefit at the Fontainebleau in Miami, but we hear there was trouble in paradise. "Her friends are having major problems with the fact that he's so much older than she is," says an insider. (Source)

Of course Julie's friends are having issues with Russell's age. The guy's so old to them, they probably think he watches the nightly news. Frankly, Julie should just ignore her friends and keep in mind that there are tons of advantages to dating a guy Russell's age. She'll see that when they go out -- with just a flash of his plastic,* he'll be able to get discounts all over the city. Perhaps more importantly, his balls will hang lower than her chin.

Julie Henderson and Russell Simmons in Miami (3/13)

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Money is a wonderful thing. Russell Simmons looks like he came from Middle Earth yet there he is sitting on the beach in Miami with Julie Henderson. You may recognize Julie from the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Julie, I know he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but you can do better. Russell Simmons is someone you have nightmares about, not introduce to your parents.

Russell Simmons and his girlfriend in Miami (12/6)

Is there a dude on earth who consistently pulls ass more out of his league than Russell Simmons? If this dude wasn't famous, he'd still be a virgin.

Russell Simmons in Miami Beach (11/15)

I knew being a millionaire came with a lot of perks, but I had no idea that you could pull random girl's tops down with no repercussions. I mean, how cool is that? Russell better be sending a big thank-you card to Steven Spielberg today. He could have chosen pretty much anyone for the role of E.T. but he chose Russell.

Russell Simmons in Miami Beach (4/1)

Oh how I envy Russell Simmons. On vacation, just him and his daughter, without a care in the world. No wife, no girlfriend, no media spotlight, just some solid daddy-daughter bonding. Too often in today's world -- especially with celebrities -- the father-daughter relationship is seen more as a . . . What's that? That's actually his girlfriend? . . . all together now: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Denise Vasi and Russell Simmons in South Beach (12/6)

I was wrong about two things yesterday: Russell Simmons' new girlfriend is not Porscha Coleman, it's Denise Vasi. And it wasn't math homework Denise had yesterday, but history. So typical of Mr. Johnson to assign homework over winter vacation. What a jerk!

Russell Simmons and Porscha Coleman (12/5)

Russell Simmons was in South Beach with his new girlfriend Porscha Coleman today. After doing yoga for a few hours on the beach, the couple took a short dip in the ocean before retiring back to their room because Porscha had "like a ton of math homework."
