Hot Scoop: The Simmons Sisters Reveal 'Run's House' Spin-off

They may have moved out of their father's house, but 'Run's House' fans can expect to see more of the lovely older daughters of Run-DMC rapper Reverend Run when their own reality series gets underway.

Angela and Vanessa Simmons revealed to Blackvoices.com that the new MTV spin-off will be called 'Daddy's Girls,' and will follow their "lives in L.A. and what's going on with us," since making the bi-coastal move from The Big Apple.

Expect the new series to showcase the sisters as they evolve their popular 'Pastry' shoe and clothing line into another more grown-up brand, in addition to embarking upon other exciting ventures.

Over the past few years, MTV viewers have watched Vanessa go from 'Ford' model to 'The Guiding Light' soap star. She tells us, "[I'm] still doing acting and I'm moving along...I appreciate my process because that's going to make me stronger in the end and the best talent that I can possibly give the world."

She just began filming a new movie opposite Marques Houston last week.

And, while Vanessa locks down the acting roles between the duo, Angela, who serves as executive editor of her own magazine, 'Angela's Rundown,' has her eye on music. She recently dropped a Gwen Stefani-esque song called 'Center of Attention' and premiered the video on the official Pastry website.

Coincidentally, Angela's love life has been the center of a lot of her fans attention. People buzzed that she was seeing rapper Bow Wow after appearing in his video for 'Shortie Like Mine,' but Angela put all those rumors to rest when she began publicly dating pro skateboarder Terry Kennedy.

There's sure to be a promising future for the Simmons sisters.

To be able to pull off a successful shoe collection, which launched just under two years ago, these girls prove to have the wherewithal to last longer than most reality television stars.

No doubt about it, that's a testament to great parenting.

Vanessa wants people to keep an eye out for their upcoming clothing line for the "more demure and sophisticated older girl who may not have realized she's a 'Pastry' girl yet." She said it will launch around Fall 2009 – just in time for back to school.
