Watching Vanessa and Angela Simmons now, it's hard to believe they're the same girls who fought with their younger sibs (and, well, each other) back on Run's House. And while some things never change ('member the Danielle debacle on Daddy's Girls?), these days the sisters are living large as best friends, roomies and co-founders of Pastry!

Check out how far the Simmons gals have come since their MTV debut and tune in tonight for the Season Two finale of Daddy's Girls!

Okay, so Angela wasn't exactly ready to tear up the turntables tonight, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of DJ Mouse! With a little hard work and dedication, Rev Run's daughter might learn to rock out without the use of the preset button. And we plan to be there (with camcorders) when she finally shows off her skillz.

In fact, we can already see it now: Rev Run (dressed head-to-toe in Pastry) could introduce his daughter, DJ Mouse, while she spins her brother's latest Team Blackout record to a sold-out crowd of Run's House/Daddy's Girls fans ... at Vanessa's next film premiere!

Hey, maybe there really IS something 'bout those Simmons genes!

When it comes to anniversaries, Angela and Vanessa don't mess around. Which is why they plunked down a hefty $15,000 deposit, hired a top-notch event planner and spent a boatload of Benjamins to have their big bash at a trendy nightclub (with frou-frou drinks and a live fashion show!). Think the girls went a little overboard? Or was their over-the-top runway show a smashing success? Take our poll and let us know whether the girls' splashy anniversary party was a retailers' dream-- or a My Super Sweet 16 nightmare!

Everybody loves puppies! They're like tiny, huggable real-life stuffed animals that actually DO things (like bark incessantly and poop on the stairs)! And nobody loves four-legged friends more than the Simmons' pooch, Pal. Next week, watch as Run's House goes to the dogs (wook at Miley wid da widdle puppy!) and JoJo cooks Vanessa and Angela a Cajun-style meal they won't forget.

We've already seen JoJo tear it up in Team Blackout's new vid, "Gotta Have Her." But even Rev Run was blown away by JoJo's freestylin' (oops, sorry, PAIDstylin') skillz on tonight's Run's House. Think dude's got a chance of making it big as an MC? Take our poll and tell us how you'd rate JoJo's rapping!

+ Wanna see more of JoJo in action? Watch Team Blackout's "Gotta Have Her" one more time!

Whether he's rapping with Kid Rock, building playgrounds or mastering (and abandoning) the art of DIY baby-proofing, Rev Run's never been the type of guy who's afraid to get his hands dirty. But does he have a head for the family biz? Nobody's really sure seeing as dude hasn't stepped foot in the office since the Reagan administration. Watch as Russell Simmons guilts Rev into getting back to work while Diggy and Russy bicker (about hand soap?!) on the next Run's House.

Good news: Since the taping of Run's House: Episode 4, Diggy's blog has grown from 250 followers to 1,133! And we're thinking he's about to get even more online readers after everyone sees tonight's show.

Aside from lotsa fashion, music and design shout outs, you'll be pleased to hear that the self-proclaimed jet-setter's got some super deep thoughts -- among Dig's many musings is a thoughtful entry about Michael Jackson's unexpected death. (Guess The Rev's inspired sermons have rubbed off on the kid!) So g'ahead, check out digslifeofthejetsetter.blogspot.com ... the softer side of Diggy Simmons awaits.

Rev Run and Justine are generally pretty laid back as far as parents go. But on tonight's Run's House, they were being super pushy about getting Angela and Vanessa home for a visit. Not only did Rev lure the girls back to the East Coast under (semi-false) pretenses, but he crashed their meeting and practically ordered them to be home in time for dinner! Natch, the girls forgave their pops AND agreed to spend more time at home (what can we say, they're Daddy's Girls?!). But we think this may be another sign that Rev Run and Justine need to cut the umbilical cord -- and let Angie and Vanessa do their own thing!

+ Think it's time for Rev and Justine to stop meddling in the girls' lives? Or are they just behaving like any other parents with bicoastal daughters? Take our poll and let us know whether Rev needs to give dem girls some breathing room!

One thing we bet Run's House's Jojo will never forget after his tussle with the law: the look on Russy and Diggy's faces when he came home from the clink. Talk about disappointment. But while Rev Run's eldest son owed some tough apologies to his fam, dude got a gift from the court. "Disorderly conduct" -- a charge described by the Simmons' attorney as a "violation" and not a "crime," carries a sentence of, well, nothing really. No ankle bracelet, no trip to rehab ... more like a guilt trip and undeniable record of the time you were REALLY STUPID and decided to light a doobie near the police.

That said, we wanna hear from you: Think this slap on the wrist was a fair punishment for a first-time offender like Jojo, or do you feel like he got off too easy? Take the poll!

Rev Run isn't just the father (grandfather??) of hip hop. He's also the proud father to Angela, Vanessa, JoJo, Russy, Diggy and (wait for it!) Miley "Most Adorbs Baby Eva!" Simmons. And since this Sunday's all about paying tribute to dear old dad, we're hitting you up with an extra special Props to Pops Marathon! Catch back-to-back eps of Run's House from 8am to noon and again from 5:30-9:30pm. And in between, go spend some time with your own fam! Remember, kids: a Happy Father's Day card still goes a long way!*

*Except for when it's this one. Or this one. Or really just any of these.
