MuchMoreMusic Exposes GENE SIMMONS Family Jewels in Three-Hour Mini-Marathon On August 18th

This fall, Canada's MuchMoreMusic serves up GENE SIMMONS Family Jewels for all the nation to see. The first flash is a six-episode mini-marathon beginning August 18th at 6 PM (ET), followed by weekly doses on Sundays at 8 PM (ET).

Cocky. Ballsy. In-your-face. This KISS legend is full of unabashed ego. Lucky for him, he's got a feisty former Playmate, Shannon Tweed, keeping him in line every step of the way. They've been happily unmarried for more than 22 years and this reality trip delivers a fascinating look at their red-hot chemistry as they raise a non-traditional family in the midst of constant
chaos.

Stay tuned for MuchMoreMusic's complete fall line-up.

GENE SIMMONS Roast Part Of Family Jewels Marathon This Sunday

KISS bassist/vocalist GENE SIMMONS has issued the following update:

"I know I often come off as a self centered, arrogant and delusional person. And your point is????

Wanna see me get my 'come-uppance?' -- tune in to Gene Simmons Family Jewels on A&E, Sunday, June 15th, 10 PM/9 Cenral (Marathon begins at 9/8C) and see the finest comics drill me a new one... along with some surprise guests.

This is real stuff. I had no clue what was going on, who was going to be there, or what they were going to say. Very little of it was edited out (except that stuff A&E just couldn't put on the air).

Some of it was very raunchy, and you may get to see that stuff on the web."
