GENE SIMMONS To Take NGTV Cable Channel Public
- Feb. 22, 2006
According to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS, KISS entrepreneur Gene Simmons is looking to start a cable channel featuring uncensored footage of celebrities and launch it with an IPO (initial public offering, defined as the sale of equity in a company, generally in the form of shares of common stock, through an investment banking firm). As Chairman of the Board of Beverly Hills start-up NGTV (for "No Good TV"), Simmons and the Boca Raton, FL, investment firm of Capital Growth Financial filed papers with the SEC two weeks ago to take the company public. According to the filing, NGTV will produce raunchy programming for pay TV, featuring more than 150 celebrities from which the company claims to have previously unseen footage. If the initial $6-per-share offering on the American Stock Exchange sells out, it will raise an estimated $125.6 million.

lol "Kiss entrepeneur" -- i guess "Kiss bassist" no longer applies when he spends 10% of his time on the bass and the other 90% trying to make money.
he's an obnoxious bitch but still, he has had a fuckload of babes in his time...

"(On the other hand...there's always "Tongue" magazine to make fun of)"
That COULD have been good, if it just didn't look like every other magazine of the genre. More Kiss, more pussy.
"So TWO of them made money FOR HIM. Big deal."
And which two ideas have made big money for YOU, dipshit? They guy is in one of the most well-known bands in the world, he has all the money he wants, all the pussy he wants, has free reign of the Playboy mansion, and can play any fucking place in the world that he wants to at the drop of a hat. Anyone in here not want that job yourself? I didn't fucking think so.
