GENE SIMMONS To 'Put The Man Back In Romance' With Upcoming Reality Series
- Jan. 11, 2005
|
|
|
"Mr. Romance", comedy/reality series created by KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, is set to premiere Monday, March 14 at 10 p.m. on Oxygen TV, according to Broadcasting & Cable.
A contest for the Harlequin romance books' next coverboy, "Mr. Romance" will feature twelve beefy guys competing in a "romance boot camp" for a $50,000 cash prize, learning how to kiss for the camera, walk the catwalk and strike seductive poses. The show will run for five, one-hour episodes and a two-hour finale. Fabio himself, Gene Simmons and TV personality Tina Malave will serve as judges, with no eliminations made until the finale.
"With our tongue firmly planted in our cheek, we are putting the man back in romance," Oxygen Chairman and CEO Geraldine Laybourne told TV critics gathered for the Television Critics Association tour in L.A.

The show will run a commercial for the KISS bowling ball, and lucky viewers can buy it for $19.95+$39.95 S+H. Money back if not delighted, less S+H.

I've been waiting for a new television 'reality series.' The 78,134 'reality shows' currently on are great - but just aren't enough.
WE need more!!!!
Storylines, acting, enjoyment? Who needs them?!
Seeing some dumbfuck talk into a camera, expressing his feelings about some very 'real' situation - that has been planned for months....Now THAT IS ENTERTAINMENT.
/end sarcasm
I saw Gene on Third Watch recently... anyone else see it?
Too bad that wasn't reality. lol

Let's find the "romance" in Gene's view on women -
"Women are like toilet paper - essential to a man's life - yet you wipe your ass on it and flush it down the toilet the second you're done using it because there's plenty more where that came from."
Yep - real romantic. *cough*
Then again, this poor lard-ass probably needs to do something to keep his mind off having Kiss' last tour called "The flop of 2004" by several industry publications. What a fucking stool.

Gene Simmons, Mr. Romance? Please............ It would be more believable for Paul to do a gig with Fabio that this whatever-the-fuck-Gene-is-these-days. I think it's sad that Gene is grasping at so many staws. If he would just do the right thing, and get KISS back together, put out some NEW MUSIC, and give up the fucking condoms and bowling balls, people might look up to him again.

So, basically, Gene is producing and participating in a GAY SHOW?
I guess after 4,000+ women, it's time to try the skin flute, eh?
This is sickening.

God, this hilarious.
Greed claimed to have porked 4,000 fat pigs. Where's the romance in "blow me" to a fat woman? Hell, they'll do just about anything just to get laid.
Maybe Gene can slip in a story about Paul's wig for sale on E-bay (posted here a few days ago).
Greed's next "outside Ki$$" business endeavor will be to open the new
"Greed and Paul's Wig$ are u$".
