GENE SIMMONS On What It Takes To Make It In Entertainment Industry

May 20, 2009

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons and his longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed were interviewed by ExploreTalent.com about what it takes to make it in the entertainment industry at the Rally for Kids with Cancer Scavenger Cup "Qualifiers" celebrity draft party on May 1, 2009 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Watch the chat below.

Gene Simmons and his unconventional family are back and better than ever for an all-new season of A&E's hit unscripted series "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", premiering with a special one-hour episode on Sunday, June 7 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The 15-episode season kicks off with Sophie's sweet sixteen party, giving viewers an all access pass to the milestone celebration. When a case of sibling rivalry spirals out of control, Nick pulls on dad's heartstrings and his sense of theatrics to escalate the low-key party she wanted into the blowout of the century, all to the dismay of shy Sophie.

In addition to Sophie's sweet sixteen, the new season will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the entire family's many adventures. From Gene's appearance on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" to Gene filming a Japanese monster flick, to Shannon preparing for a role in a roller derby exploitation film, to Nick getting his own apartment, to Sophie fending off ill-intentioned teenaged boys, viewers will follow the Simmons-Tweed clan as they set out to prove, yet again, why they are the most non-traditional, traditional family in America.
