RUSSELL SIMMONS - LEE SIMMONS WANTS DIAMOND FROM DOG'S ASHES

Hip-hop mogul RUSSELL SIMMONS' ex-wife KIMORA LEE SIMMONS wants to honour her late dog by turning the pet's remains into a diamond. The Baby Phat model and fashion designer is in mourning after 18-year-old bitch Zoe's recent death. But she is contemplating celebrating Zoe's life with a new piece of jewellery. She tells People.com, "You have to... grieve. It's okay to take time and say this meant something to my life and (to) honour it. "There is a company that makes diamonds out of your loved ones. They make diamonds from a little of the carbon from the ash, so I might do that. I might turn her into a diamond."
