Gene Simmons Family Jewels breaks record

kissnews — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 08:15:23 +0000

The season finale of Gene Simmons Family Jewels, on which Gene proposed to his longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed, was seen by some 3 million viewers. Which makes it not just the best watched episode in the history of the hit series (the longest running celebrity family reality show), but itx92s also a record for A & E, making it the network the number 1 cable network that night among adults 25-54 demographics in the 10pm hour category.

Shannonx92s answer to Genex92s proposal will be revealed next season, which kicks off on September 6 in the States. But meanwhile, rumor has it that the couple is breaking up. While Genex92s proposal was filmed months ago, itx92s been rumored for some time now that Shannon and Gene are no longer living together, and apparantly she even left a TV show in the middle of a live interview during a promotional tour for Gene Simmons Family Jewels not too long ago. But then again, itx92s a thin line between a PR stunt and a rumor/hoaxx85

Ace Frehley’s autobiography set for November 1

kissnews — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 17:52:22 +0000

Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley is set to put out his autobiography on November 1. The "Rock and Roll memoir" titled No Regrets had originally been scheduled for this Summer and is said to be "a funny, truthful, candid memoir about a hard-drinking, drug-addicted, music-loving guitar player who lived life as a rock star and survived to tell the tale". The book, written by Joe Layden and John Ostrosky, is to be published by Gallery Books, an imprint of the London based Simon & Schuster, under the VH1 Books imprint.

No Regrets goes behind the make-up, the money, the women and the partying. KISS' original guitarist recounts his battles with drug addiction and his brushes with death, sets the record straight about his complicated relationships with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley and describes his evolution as a musician. All with his characteristic humor and honesty. Needless to say, Ace Frehley's autobiography is a must-have for every KISS fan.
