Ms. Simmons goes full mogul in "Kimora: House of Fab"

Although still fab, the Kimora Lee Simmons we see in "Kimora: House of Fab" (9 tonight, Style) is a little different than the one who lived in the fab lane.

Oh, she's still drama. Yet there's something different. Maybe because her relationship with Djimon Hounsou recently ended or maybe it's because she's now a mother of three. Whatever it is, on this series, we see Kimora firmly as a mogul and much less as a mom. (Maybe the girls, now teens, want some privacy?) In fact, at one point, some personal photos are blurred out in her office. Ms. Fabulosity wants us to see her building a brand.

The brand is JustFab, an online site for affordable shoes, handbags and accessories. It's a competitive world; Kim Kardashian's similar site ShoeDazzle just brought in Rachel Zoe as the chief stylist.

At JustFab, Kimora is both an executive and the face of the business, which sometimes makes things complicated. Of course, for a reality show, uh, I mean docuseries, that's drama gold. Basically, we get to see how others handle Kimora, how Kimora resists the handling, and how Kimora's fab sensibility saves the day. Sometimes we the show focuses on other execs in the office. Oh, and there's the required sassy gay guy.

If you like Kimora, and I admit I kinda do, you'll enjoy the show. She looks great. And even when she's in full fabulous mode, there's something endearing about her.

The Kardashians to design for Bebe

Kim tells Life & Style Magazine that she and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney are branching out beyond their Dash clothing line (and L.A. boutique) with a new line for Bebe.

"We have a line coming up that we've designed for Bebe," she told the magazine. "So that's what we're focusing on right now."

It looks like each will take a spin designing. "Me, Kourtney and Khloe are designing for five seasons," Kim said. "We each have our signature pieces: Khloe has her collection, Kourtney has hers and I have mine. It's so exciting."

And here I was thinking celebrity clothing lines were fading ...
