Roommates, the whispers have been circulating for a minute… and now it’s official. Kimora Lee Simmons is reportedly undergoing a name change. But don’t get it twisted, this isn’t just a simple rebrand. Sources close to the mogul say the move signals a full-on personal and professional reset. And, Kimora herself is calling the shots on her legacy and brand identity.

Kimora Lee Isn’t Here For The Media Spin

In a statement shared by Complex, Kimora explained that the change is rooted in control — of her name, her business, and her story. Additionally, the Baby Phat founder pushed back on recent headlines that she says misrepresented her, including a New York Post article she claims was “full of inaccuracies.” She’s not just talking — she’s taking legal action to protect herself from alleged attempts at extortion or bullying. Kimora frames the name change as part of a larger evolution, one that aligns with her business portfolio and personal intentions while keeping her legacy front and center.

“Kimora’s decision to change her name legally — back to Kimora Lee — is rooted in a commitment to clarity and ownership,” the statement started. “She is no stranger to controversy. Recently, The New York Post published an article based on a flawed premise and full of inaccuracies. That piece has since been quietly revised on multiple occasions in an attempt to evade accountability.”

Why Kimora Lee Is Saying Bye To “Simmons?”

So, why is Kimora Lee Simmons dropping the “Simmons?” Roommates, it’s not just about a name — it’s about control, clarity, and distance. As previously reported, Kimora revealed she has little relationship with her three co-parents, including Russell Simmons. Kimora also shared that she’s basically the primary parent to all five of her kids, relying on her “village” of family and friends to help raise them. “Usually I would say that I co-parent okay, but the kids are with me full-time,” she claimed. She also added that her life “doesn’t ever revolve around a man.”

Just A Name Change… Or More?

Furthermore, the timing isn’t random. Russell’s financial and legal drama has been making headlines, from millions owed in settlements to lawsuits alleging misconduct and nonpayment to multiple women. Kimora didn’t hold back, calling him out from afar and telling him to “go negotiate and answer your accusers.” Meanwhile, she defended her daughters and her own position as a self-reliant mom. Dropping “Simmons” isn’t just a rebrand — it’s seemingly a statement that she’s reclaiming her identity, her legacy, and her power, independent of the chaos surrounding her ex.

Tia Mowry is reflecting on the “surreal” moment that Angelina Jolie asked her for her insight about being a twin.

Posting via her Instagram Stories on Friday, February 27, Tia answered a fan question about whether she had ever had a starstruck moment with another celebrity.

“I’ve definitely been starstruck, and it happened the first time I met Angelina Jolie,” Tia, 47, responded. “She was unbelievably beautiful, genuinely kind and just so cool in person. What made it even wilder was that she actually knew who I was, and since she had twins, she started asking me questions about what it was like being a twin.”

She added, “It was such a surreal, wonderful moment.”

Tia Mowry is setting the record straight about her relationship with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry. “Everybody thought that there was this huge rift or distance, and that was not the case,” Tia, 47, told Entertainment Tonight in an interview clip shared via Instagram on Tuesday, December 16. “The world, they’re so used to seeing […]

Tia and her sister Tamera are real-life twins and rose to fame together playing separated-at-birth siblings in Sister, Sister from 1994 to 1999.

While they’ve had their ups and downs over the years, Tia reflected on the unique bond that twins share in a heartfelt birthday tribute post to Tamera in 2024.

“I want to take this moment to cherish my sister and wish an early happy birthday to Tamera,” Tia wrote via Instagram in July 2024. “Having you by my side as we’ve grown and evolved has been an incredible blessing. Not everyone can say they’ve had someone with them through every major milestone in life.”

In 2019, Tamera shared during an episode of The Real that the pair attended counseling in order to learn how to communicate better with one another.

“It’s because we were so different, and we needed to learn to communicate in a way that was positive for the both of us,” Tamera explained. “I’m very sensitive as the world knows, and my sister — she’s very assertive and she can handle herself. We had to learn how to communicate properly with each other.”

Meanwhile, Jolie is mother to twins Knox and Vivienne, both 17, as well as their siblings Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, and Shiloh, 19. The Oscar-winning actress shares the children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. (Jolie and Pitt married in 2014 and split two years later.)

Jolie, 50, has spoken candidly about motherhood over the years including when she wrote for Time magazine’s Parents newsletter in April 2020.

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic, Inc Tia Mowry revealed just how strong her twin bond is with sister Tamera Mowry. During the Friday, November 1, episode of Tia Mowry: My Next Act, the actress, 46, was enjoying a date with a man named Charles when she was asked about her “nonverbal connection” with Tamera. “We could literally read […]

“It is a lovely thing to discover that your children don’t want you perfect. They just want you honest. And doing your best,” Jolie reflected at the time. “In fact, the more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become. They love you. They want to help you. So in the end, it’s the team you build. And in a way, they are raising you up too. You grow together.”

The following year, Jolie described herself a “fortunate” mom in a May 2021 E! interview.

“Of course you wake up and you just feel like, ‘I’ve got to make sure they’re OK. I’ve got to make sure they’re mentally OK,’ but honestly I think a few years ago it switched and they’re thinking, ‘I’ve got to make sure mom’s OK!’ They take really good care of me, and we’re such a team,” she gushed. “I am very, very lucky. I worry — I’m always the one that worries — but I adore them. They’re cool people.”

For his titular role in the highest-grossing World War II movie of all time, Oppenheimer, the ever-brilliant Cillian Murphy finally reached the summit and took home the Academy Award for Best Actor. Under the directorial eye of Christopher Nolan, and alongside the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Matt Damon, Murphy produced a performance more than worthy of the award, and one that is already proving to be a recent benchmark for this year’s Best Actor race.

Although Oppenheimer is Murphy’s best performance, the actor still deserves much more credit for some of his other work. One of his most underrated turns came in one of A24’s earliest movies: Free Fire. A pulse-racing action comedy directed by Meg 2: The Trench‘s Ben Wheatley, Free Fire was a relatively low-budget action affair that used just one location to make the most of its limitations. Alongside Murphy, the film stars the likes of Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Jack Reynor, and fellow Oscar winner Brie Larson.

A movie that went under most people’s radar, Free Fire is about to become available on a new platform for those interested in this gem of a Murphy performance. Starting this March, you can watch Free Fire on Plex in the U.S. The film proved somewhat popular with critics, earning a 69% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus on the site reads, “Free Fire aims squarely for genre thrills, and hits its target repeatedly and with great gusto — albeit with something less than pure cinematic grace.”

Written by series creator Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, the movie debuts in select theaters on March 6, 2026, and lands on Netflix on March 20, 2026. A synopsis reads:

“Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinders…”

Free Fire is streaming on Plex this March. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

D4vd, real name David Burke, is the target of a Los Angeles County grand jury investigation in the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Police found her decomposed body last year in an apparently abandoned Tesla Model Y registered to the ‘Here With Me’ singer. Court documents reportedly showed the vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills, according to The Associated Press.

D4vd’s Family Members Appeal Subpoenas To Testify

Police had not publicly named D4vd—pronounced “David”—as a suspect in the case. But according to court documents obtained by the AP on Wednesday (Feb. 25), prosecutors describe D4vd as the target of a grand jury investigation. While he is a target, officials have yet to formally file charges. The documents say:

“Target may be involved in having committed the following criminal offenses against the laws of the State of California, to wit: One count of Murder.”

Meanwhile, grand jury subpoenas went out on Jan. 15, seeking the testimony of three of his relatives. The paperwork was previously sealed in California, where the grand jury investigation has been kept secret. However, the documents became public after D4vd’s mother, father and brother appealed their subpoenas in Texas. According to the court filings, the singer used the address where his relatives reside to register the Tesla that later had Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s body in it. Ultimately, a judge in Texas ruled that the three family members could not ignore the subpoenas and ordered them to appear in California to testify. It’s unclear if they’ve already given said testimony.

Subpoena Reveals Gruesome Details About Celeste’s Body

Police found the body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez on Sept. 8, a day after she would have turned 15. She was a 13-year-old seventh grader when her family reported her missing in 2024 from her hometown of Lake Elsinore. That’s about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Court documents say authorities listed her age as 14 at the time she was killed.

The subpoena says police investigators searching the Tesla in a tow yard found a cadaver bag “covered with insects and a strong odor of decay.” It says “detectives partially unzipped the bag and observed a decomposed head and torso.” Investigators from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene.

“Upon removing the cadaver bag from the front storage compartment, it was discovered the arms and legs had been severed from the body,” the document says. “A second black bag was discovered underneath the cadaver bag. Upon opening the second bag, the dismembered body parts were discovered.”

Before the police searched it, the Tesla had been towed from an upscale neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills. It had been sitting there, seemingly abandoned.

For context, the Medical Examiner’s Office had previously said only that police found Celeste’s body severely decomposed. They also previously said Rivas Hernandez had likely been dead for an extended period before police found her body.

Then, in November, Los Angeles police got a judge to prevent Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo from releasing the findings of the autopsy. Officials have not revealed the cause of death.

What Has D4vd And His Team Said About The Grand Jury Investigation? 

D4vd gained popularity among Gen Z fans for his blend of indie rock, R&B and lo-fi pop. He went viral on TikTok in 2022 with the hit ‘Romantic Homicide.’ The song peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. He then signed with Darkroom and Interscope Records and released his debut EP ‘Petals to Thorns’ and a follow-up, ‘The Lost Petals,’ in 2023.

When Celeste’s body was discovered, D4vd had been on tour in the U.S. The tour was to support his first full-length album, ‘Withered.’ Still, he continued to play several shows. Later, the last two U.S. shows, in San Francisco and Los Angeles, along with a scheduled performance at LA’s Grammy Museum, were canceled. His European tour, which was supposed to start in Norway, was also clipped. 

Representatives for D4vd did not immediately respond to the Associated Press’s request for comment on Wednesday. Additionally, the outlet says his team has not previously responded to emails from the AP seeking comment on the case. The District Attorney’s Office declined to comment.
