Kimora Lee Simmons gets the kids


Ming Lee

Aoki Lee

“The Insider” obtained court papers that show Kimora Lee Simmons, 33, has won sole custody of her two daughters – Ming, 8, and Aoki, 5. The half Japanese and half African American CEO of Baby Phat will have the legal authority to make decisions regarding her daughters’ health, education and welfare. Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, 50, gets the girls one week out of every eight and time for summer vacations & holidays.

Russell Simmons will pay Kimora Lee $20,000 per month per child. (That’s almost $500k per year for both kids!!!) The child support will be paid until each girl reaches age 19 1/2, becomes emancipated, dies, marries, becomes self-supporting, no longer lives with Kimora Lee Simmons, joins the armed forces or if the court later orders otherwise. Also he is required to purchase or lease a new car that is valued at no less than $60,000 for the use and benefit of his daughters once every 24 months.

Here’s a post by Russell Simmons on his blog entry entitled “Russell Sets The Record Straight

Zheng Jie defeats Ana Ivanovic at Wimbledon

Chinese tennis player Zheng Jie, ranked #133 in the world, defeated Top seed and French Open champion Ana Ivanovic today. Since she did not play last year after injuring her ankle, Zheng Jie entered Wimbledon as a wildcard. Zheng Jie is first Asian player to defeat a world’s #1 in a Grandslam event. The 24 year old convincing defeated Ana Ivanovic 6-1, 6-4.

Previously, Zheng Jie has won 11 doubles titles and three career singles titles. She reached a career high singles ranking of #27 in 2006. You can catch more Zheng Jie at Wimbledon and on China’s Olympic team. She will play singles and doubles for China at the Beijing Olympics in August. (That’s a whole lot of tennis for her!!)

Shockers – all-male cheerleading team

The Wall Street Journal wrote an article about the all-male Japanese cheerleading group Shockers. The 24-member Shockers squad defeated 14 all-female teams to win a national cheerleading competition in Japan a few months ago.

The Shockers team focuses on moves that take advantage of their physical strength. In one, several men form a tight circle and together toss a smaller teammate four or five meters in the air, catching him just before he hits the ground. A still showier move is the “Scorpion,” in which three members hold up a fourth, who stands on one leg and extends the other leg behind his head — similar to the Biellmann spin position in figure skating. Only two team members can pull that off, though.

Maybe we will see the group in one of the plethora of dance shows broadcasting on TV.

Yi Jianlian traded to the New Jersey Nets

Hours before the 2008 NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks traded forwards Yi Jianlian (who was the sixth overall pick in the 2007 draft) and Bobby Simmons to the New Jersy Nets in exchange for small forward Richard Jefferson. (Chinese officials got what they fought so hard for last year: Yi Jianlian in a major city with a larger Chinese population.) The word is that New Jersey did the deal not for the potential of Yi Jianlian, but for the salary cap relief it provides in the year 2010, when franchise players like LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade enter the free agent market. Yi made 49 starts and played in 66 games, averaging 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds.

Despite these rumors, the New Jersey Nets marketing department wasted no time promoting Yi Jianlian. They plastered Yi’s image when you try to go to the Nets website. The offer “Buy a season ticket, Get a Free Yi jersey.” If you don’t want the season ticket, you can pre-order Yi’s #9 jersey. Yi Jianlian’s got more play than the Nets first round draft pick Brook Lopez. From looking at the Nets website, you wouldn’t even know he got picked.

We can see it now. Nets owner Jay-Z wearing a Yi jersey on the sidelines. If you can’t wait to see Yi play , you can catch him playing for China in the Olympics.

The new animated 26-episode series, produced by the New York-based Animation Collective, follows three Kung Fu fighting teens as they strive to balance studying, delivering food for Wu’s Garden Chinese restaurant and protecting ancient Chinese recipes from the evil Kong Li.

Three Delivery, inspired by live-action film, graphic novels and classic cartoon comedies, features references to authentic Chinese phrases, celebrations, cuisine and mythology.

Real Kung Fu moves such as crane style, tiger style, snake style, and eagle style are illustrated in the show.

Three Delivery synopsis

Years ago, an evil young apprentice named Kong Li unleashed the power of a magical cookbook, scattering its dangerous recipes throughout Chinatown. Thanks to an ancient spell, a force field was placed around the city, keeping the magic in the book. For many years, the rest of the world was protected, but now Kong Li has returned to find the powerful recipes. If he succeeds, evil power will be released and the world will be in danger.

Luckily, three teenage heroes skilled in Kung Fu have been trained to stop Kong Li. When orphans Sue, Sid and Tobey are recruited by Nana to make deliveries for Wu’s Garden Chinese restaurant, they see it as a chance to move out of the orphanage and ride cool bikes. Little did they know that every evening they would be locked in a lightning-fast battle against evil for the fate of the world.
