GENE SIMMONS On OZZY Comparisons: 'My Family Is More Structured And They Behave Properly'

January 18, 2007

The U.K.'s The Sun Online reports that it seems KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons is fed up of comparisons to Ozzy Osbourne, after also giving the TV cameras access to all areas of his family life for a reality show.

He blasted: "My family is more structured and they behave properly. My kids don't take drugs, they're well mannered and properly disciplined and I don't go letting dogs poop on the carpet. I'm not a drug addict — in fact I have never been drunk, I don't smoke or have ever taken drugs and never will."

Gene's reality-TV show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" follows Gene, his long-term girlfriend Shannon Tweed and kids Nick and Sophie.

Just don't ask the sexist star why he has never proposed to his former Playmate lover.

He says: "Shannon and I have been happily unmarried for 23 years. I lead my life my way. I am the Alpha male and what I say goes. The idea of marriage is out of the question."
