Gene Simmons: TV Guide News

Gene Simmons Guest Stars on Ugly Betty | Today's Top Videos | 1/24/2008
Poor, naïve little Amanda. Now that she’s convinced her dad is famed KISS rock star Gene Simmons, she’s decided not only to compose a song for him, but to publically perform and film it at The Beer Hole (and let’s just say this girl isn’t exactly what you’d call an American Idol). Little does she know that her alleged daddy dearest is in the audience watching the performance. And based on his tongue flailing response, he seems thoroughly impressed.

Can Someone Fire Celebrity Apprentice? | Roush Dispatch | 1/4/2008
Well, that didn't take long. Three days into the new year and I already have a strong candidate for my 2008 worst-of-the-year list: Celebrity Apprentice, which we have to hope is the last gasp for this out-of-gas reality franchise.Enlisting C-listers (which in most cases is a generous label) is the final desperate refuge for most shows in this oversaturated genre, but even by that standard, Celebrity Apprentice is pathetic.

Celebs Hit Streets for Trump's New Apprentice | TV Guide News Report | 10/19/2007
Celebrities are now vying for the position of Donald Trump's "top dog" by taking their business to the streets. Literally.Seven of 14 celebs on The Apprentice's first celebrity edition were behind two Sabrett hot-dog carts in midtown Manhattan Friday afternoon to tape a challenge for the NBC show. Led by America’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan on the megaphone, the celebrities stopped curious passersby for a donation to charity and an authentic New York street hot dog. At another location, some of the female contestants (including Omarosa, Marilu Henner and Playmate Tiffany Fallon) were manning their own cart.While Morgan was the moneyman for his team, country-music star Trace Adkins, actor Stephen Baldwin and UFC fighter Tito Ortiz served up the franks. Heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, Sopranos star Vinnie Pastore and Kiss frontman Gene Simmons handled the crowd, gladly posing for pictures as long as a donation was made and a hot dog was sold.A few celebrity friends stopped... read more
