Anyone watching tonight? The entire evening has been nothing but coverage of Gene and Shannon preparing for their big wedding. What a wedding it was. :eek: :eek: They spent some big bucks that night.
It repeats at 11pm central if you missed it. Plus I’m sure it’ll repeat again in the next few days.
I can remember twenty years ago Gene would always slam marriage in interviews. He always swore he’d never marry. Well he ate those words tonight. He made Shannon Tweed wait 28 years, but it finally happened.
It’s probably better that Gene did wait. I think at age sixty he’s finally at a place in life that he might make this work. He still tours with Kiss, but I get the impression he’s slowing down. He’s not the same wild Demon we’ve watched all these years. I think he realizes the importance of having someone he loves with him as they enter into the later years of life.
I’ve really gotten addicted to Family Jewels this year. Last Spring it was to see if Shannon and Gene could work it out. Now this Fall they marry and we see how The Demon adjusts to a wedding band on his finger.
This is the guy that claims to have banged 4,897 woman since Kiss started. That was in his biography published several years ago. The number has probably gone up since then. Monogamy won’t be easy for The Demon.
What I don’t get is that Shannon was bent out of shape about his most recent cheating incident. What about the other 4,896? What made this cheating incident worse than the others?
I also thought is was funny when the guy at the bootcamp said he wouldn’t want her to be his wife because she is a doormat.
A lot of those women were probably from the 1970’s. The great years for sex without fear of Aids. I recall Gene was shacking up with Cher back around 1980. There were stories in People Magazine about it. Cher had broke up with Sonny a few years before. Cher and Gene lived together several years before breaking up. I think that was Gene’s longest relationship other than Shannon.
When you got a 8 inch tongue it doesn’t matter how ugly you are. You can make the women very happy.
I came home from work tonight to find the GF watching this episode. I poured myself a martini and watched along with her for shits and giggles. She seemed to think it was for realsies. What a crock! It was about as “real” as most “reality” TV. The inclusion of Hef and Dog the Bounty Hunter as wedding guests really helped cement the credibility of the whole episode. (roll-eyes smiley)
Entertaining, but not nearly as credible as WWF “rassling” with Vince McMahon.
I haven’t spent more than about five minutes thinking about Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed since 1988 when my college roommate used to idolize Kiss, but I have zero respect for her. He’s a douchebag who is way more impressed with himself than there’s any reason to be, and she’s a doormat with no self-respect for sticking with him this whole time. I did see a clip of Chelsea Handler pwning him recently, which sort of made me cheer a little bit, but Tweed should be ashamed of herself.
There was a time when she was into those soft-core porn things that I ranked Shannon in the Top Ten hottest women alive. Once I was aware that she had hooked up with Simmons, I dropped her out of consideration.
For my money, the best thing that ever happened to Gene Simmons was Fuck the Bonus.
You can make the women very happy.
