Over the weekend, new mommy Vanessa Simmons took a break from motherhood and hit up the party scene with her little sister Angela Simmons, Karrueche, Ne-Yo and more. Peep the party picks from the ToXic Day Party inside… Every new mom needs a break from time-to-time and new mom of one Vanessa Simmons did just that. On Saturday, the eldest Simmons daughter hit up ToXic Day Party in Hollywood with her little sister Angela Simmons (who hosted the event) for some good times with good people. The Simmons girls partied with Karrueche Tran, Ne-Yo, "BBW: LA" star Jackie Christie’s daughter Chantel Christie (who celebrated her 21st birthday), Denver Broncos baller TJ Ward, famed video director Little X and rapper Young Berg.
For her first party outing since giving birth to baby Ava, V rocked a cute and casual Dimepiece baseball button-up paired with white distressed jeans. She’s looking fabulous post-baby. We will be seeing more of the new mom since she landed a new gig. V will be hosting a new fashion competition show coming to LIFETIME titled “Threads.”
Angela Simmons was tapped as the host for the weekend festivities and she sizzled in a white meshed dress with fire red pumps. The fitness fanatic could possibly have a new project up her sleeve. The toned Simmons was spotted flaunting her summer bod in Beverly Hills for lunch with fitness guru Jeanette Jenkins.
After welcoming home her boo Chris Brown with a big celeb-filled bash, Karrueche partied it up with friends.
And Kae posed it up alongside Angela for a cute pic.
Ne-Yo came out to get the party started. He surprised party goers debuting a brand new, never-heard-before track for their listening pleasures. Peep the party flicks below:
Girls just want to have fun!

| SPOTTED: Rihanna DINES At Her Favorite EATERY With Coldplay's Chris Martin Posted: 09 Jun 2014 07:50 AM PDT
Bad gal RiRi was spotted outside of her favorite West Coast restaurant last night on her way to meet a very famous dinner guest. Find out who she met inside....
Rihanna, whom Spike TV presented their first ever Most Desirable Woman Award at the 2014 Guys Choice Awards over the weekend, was spotted walking into Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica last night. The hot spot is one of Rihanna's favorite eateries and we've spotted her dining there many times.
Rihanna's dinner outfit was a far cry from her controversial CFDA Fashion Icon garment. The "Phresh Out The Runway" singer looked casual and demure in a black and white blouse, black skinny jeans and pointed-toe black Christian Louboutin pumps.
Rihanna's dinner guest was Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (see more pics here). Fans of RiRi will recall that she was a featured artist on the group's "Princess Of China" hit a few years ago. Perhaps they discussed another collaboration over dinner?

Since being released from jail last week, Chris Brown hit up a gym to shoot some hoops with friends. Speaking of basketball, a huge brawl broke out during a basketball game that Master P was coaching. See Breezy in the paint and video of the fight that broke out during P’s game inside…. After partying it up with Karrueche and some of his celeb friends following his release, Chris Brown made his way to the gym yesterday to shoot a few hoops with some friends. In a new video posted to Breezy’s YouTube, we see a fuller Breezy working on his basketball skills, shooting from the three-point line. Dude has to brush up on his skills because we all know how much Breezy loves basketball. The “Loyal” singer has flexed his basketball expertise during many celeb basketball game events. Check it: And at another basketball game.... A huge brawl broke out during one of Master P's youth basketball games. P was leading his youth basketball team "The P Miller Ballers” during a tournament at a high school gym in Tennessee back in March when a group of adults started FIGHTING on the court during the game. Not sure what caused the melee but one dude got hit in the back of the head with a red steel chair. It was a mess! Luckily, P wasn’t involved in the fight and was not hurt. Check the foolishness above. Sighs…we have to do better. Photos/Video: YouTube/TMZ |
