Gene Simmons Family Jewels: Shannon Talks About Being "Happily Unmarried"
Amidst the recent controversy surrounding the sex tape featuring Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons and another woman, Simmons' long time partner, Shannon Tweed has spoken to TV Guide about her "happily unmarried" relationship with the legendary rocker that remains to be solid as they mark 25 years of being together this August.
Former Playboy Playmate Tweed has happily lived with Simmons since 1985. Although they are not married, they have built a sturdy relationship that has spawned two children, 19-year-old Nicholas and 15-year-old Sophie. The Simmons-Tweed family is currently residing in Beverly Hills, California and is presently featured on the reality series Gene Simmons Family Jewels, which gives viewers a peek into their unusual lives.

Gene Simmons Family Jewels: Gene Loses Dog on Show
Gene Simmons, co-founder of legendary rock band Kiss, was nearly in tears when he lost his beloved dog Snippy on the reality series Gene Simmons Family Jewels. The infamous rock star reportedly lost the pooch, which was collected from a vet after having an operation to repair a broken leg earlier in the episode, when the front gate of his Los Angeles mansion was left open during the filming of the reality show.
Simmons, 58, immediately conducted a search around the local neighborhood but to no avail. The Simmons family then retired back to the house to call a pet rescue expert. In a desperate attempt, Simmons got in a helicopter with the pet rescue expert in the hope to find Snippy.

Paul on American Idol
Right after contestant David Archuleta finished his Phantom of the Opera song (Think of Me), the camera pointed to the only ‘real’ Phantom sitting in the audience. Paul is rumored to be in talks to star as the Phantom in the Las Vegas production: Phantom, The Las Vegas Spectacular.
Andrew Lloyd Webber, also in the audience, took the Idol contestants to the Las Vegas Phantom theatre to practise. When you put two and two together it almost looks like Paul will be Phantom again, this time in Vegas. Note to self… having some recordings of Paul performing as the Phantom in Toronto I should do a Phantom/Paul podcast.
