Def Jam expects revenues to hit $190 million for 1998. Simmons' bride is 23-year-old model KIMORA LEE, host of his TV show, One World Music Beat. The two already had a modest civil ceremony in New York City. But even millionaires get wedding blues. Simmons missed a connecting flight and was briefly stranded in Puerto Rico.
