CREMORA LEE SIMMONS DIRT!

Hilarious gossip from the set of Russell Simmons' wife's quickly cancelled The View-style talk show!

Oh Really...The Post reports that now "Life & Style" has been canned, stories are being told of donut-licking, lamp-stealing and other typical diva behavior. And controversy-magnet Kimora Lee Simmons is first up in the line of fire. According to a show insider, Kimora's antics drove the cast and crew crazy and contributed to the show's early demise. Page Six compiled some of the juicier accusations: *Kimora missed 35 episodes and gave wild excuses — like being in extended mourning for her dead cat. *Russell Simmons, was a repeated on-set nuisance who nagged producers to give his wife a bigger role. * Lee called the other hosts -- Jules Asner, Cynthia Garrett and Lynne Koplitz — "bitches and hos" and once berated a Teleprompter operator so badly that he quit on the spot. *She stole props such as lamps and once made off with an entire rack of lamb from the lunch buffet table. Staff routinely had to be dispatched to Simmons’ dressing room in order to recover the pilfered booty. * She forced producers to hire her and Russell's friends for costly no-show jobs, like a celebrity booker for $2,500 a week who never booked a single boldfaced name. *Simmons also threatened to beat up an eight-month pregnant assistant, prompting weary producers to send the woman home to avert trouble. *But perhaps the lowest point came when she supposedly had donuts delivered to the set, then licked each and every one so nobody else could eat them. The insider also sniped that although Simmons acted like a diva, she didn't even deliver ratings. "Sony hired her to bring in the urban audience, but many in the urban community are turned off by her claims of being 'black,' " our source said. The source concluded: "Basically, the only reason they didn't fire her is because producers thought the publicity would be bad." Sort of like the show. Simmon's rep, Rob Shuter, told Page Six: "All these allegations are hurtful and false. Kimora has a dedicated team that she treats like family. She's the hardest-working woman in the business." Stole a lamb? Licked donuts? Oh hell naw! Where’s the class?
