Tenacious_Peaches Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Queer Eye for the Straight Gene Simmons KISS bassist might get television makeover The Associated Press Updated: 4:28 p.m. ET Aug. 27, 2004 NEW YORK - How would the guys from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" make over the black-and-white makeup of KISS? We may get to find out. Gene Simmons, the tongue-wagging bassist of KISS, is considering an appearance on the Bravo reality show. On his Web site, Simmons says producers have asked him to join the Fab Five for an episode. "They called me and asked me if I would do it. I'm a fan of the show. We may shoot on the 28th of Sept," Simmons says. Bravo publicist Bill Brennan told The Associated Press Friday that the network has had discussions recently with the rocker. "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is now in its second season, airing on Bravo at 10 p.m. (ET) on Tuesdays. Beginning Sept. 1, Bravo will air four episodes of the British version of the show, complete with on-screen pop-ups to ensure that none of the jokes get lost in translation.

Earth-Angel Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Those guys are fabulous! Most straight guys could definitely learn more than a thing or two from them and the makeovers they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Gene Simmons is not interested in a makeover. Gene is interested in keeping his face in the media. Gene is so homophobic, it isn't funny. Someone should remind him his primary talent is that he is a bassist. Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Ah, Ken, I see your opinions of KISS, 'the people' have changed over the years, as have mine. I still love the music, even though now, I don't kid myself with the notion that Stanley/Simmons are the best songwriters, EVER!, the way I did when I was 14. Their songwriting skills are, to say the least, substandard, and musically, it's not very challenging. But, it is, without question, in the most base form, rock and roll. I love it, still.

Jenny Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Gene is so homophobic, it isn't funny. In that case, I hope Carson plants a big wet one on him! It would be funny to see the guys pulling out his old costumes and parading around in the silver platform boots!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I'll give Gene Simmons this much: He's extremely intelligent and is a modern day Casanova. Oh, and he's a natural performer and bassist. He may rub off on people the wrong way but we have to understand how it would be to live like a king. No one really handles that well. Some are better able to hide what they truly are. Simmons doesn't and I admire him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXX Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Gene Simmons is not interested in a makeover. Gene is interested in keeping his face in the media. Gene is so homophobic, it isn't funny. Funny, 'cause right up there with Queen, KISS's image always came off as kinda flamboyantly gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
