First it was Russell Simmons’ brother, Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons with MTV reality show “Run’s House”, then his ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons in “Life in the Fab Lane”, and then his nieces, Vanessa and Angela Simmons in “Daddy’s Girls”. It’s high time the godfather of urban fashion gets his own reality show!

The hip hop mogul teams up with Oxygen in developing “The Russell Simmons Project”, a show which will follow Russell’s female assistants who basically manage his business deals, family life, party planning and love life.

Amy Introcaso-Davis, senior vice president of programming for the Oxygen network stated:

“Russell Simmons is a fascinating man, and seeing his world through the eyes of his dream team comprised of strong, passionate women provides a unique experience for our viewers”

About his own show, Russell Simmons commented:

“Throughout my career I have surrounded myself with people smarter than me. This show will let them shine and provide insight into how we build our empire from the inside out.”

Leave it to the Simmons clan, as they seem to know how to run their businesses and juggling their busy schedules intermixed with their personal lives.  As for us who watch from the sidelines, it’s always great to be able to get a glimpse of how successful families do.
