Who is the weirdo on the One Show

[smurfchops]

With the black dyed hair and sunglasses? Is he supposed to be famous ??

[scrummyyummy]

Smurf, you beat me to it! I was just about to post something about him! Is he from Kiss? I was going to ask if his hair is a wig because it's really weird!!

[scrummyyummy]

It's Gene Simmons from Kiss. Just found out.

[smurfchops]

Well the BBC are certainly scraping the barrell..... I think a wig would look better than that. He is obviously covering up a bald spot ..

[douglas9401]

He IS famous! He "knew" Lois Griffin! :)

[EvianBaby]

Lois Griffin? The Mum from Family Guy?

[smurfchops]

Who is Lois Griffin? Has the world gone mad ?

[douglas9401]

Indeed, Pewterschmidt as was. :)

Kiss have sold over 100 million albums, had 26 gold albums and 13 platinum, double-platinum, and quadruple-platinum albums.
So I guess he's just a teeny bit more famous than (for example) Gary Barlow.

I thought Col Ghadaffi was dead.

Gene Simmons was on The One Show and I missed it!

rojash you took the words right out of my mouth!

I was fairly convinced that the strange hair was a wig - funny though - I didn't expect him to look like that without the make-up. Also when I saw who was appearing on the show in one of the tv listings guide, I expected to see an elderly woman - wasn't Jean Simmons an actress? (Yes,I know the name is not spelt the same way).

The hottest band in the World.....

Second in Gold records only to the Beatles

[dr pop]

Jimmy, do you mean group only wise.The mighty Kiss are 11th in all time gold records and third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones group wise

[andy-hughes]

Gene is actually a really bright guy - used to be a school teacher.

He enjoys an 'open' marriage with ex-model Shannon Tweed, and he is famous for his voracious appetite for groupies. He has polaroid pictures of every woman he has ever slept with - well over four thousand, inlcuding Cher and Diana Ross, both of whom he has dated.

Weirdo??? Supposed to be famour?? Jeez, the rock god who is Gene Simmons and I missed it :(

(I am now reliving that part of my mis-spent youth, Detroit Rock City, Destroyer (The Album)

I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day!!

Mind you Paul Stanley is a bit of an ugly bu99er.
