From: Variety.com


GENE SIMMONS is gearing up to star in his own "Osbournes"-style docusoap for A&E.Cabler has greenlit "GENE SIMMONS' Family Jewels," one of three new shows the channel will premiere this year. A&E also unveiled four series pilots in contention for pickups Wednesday during the cable portion of the Television Critics Assn. winter press tour.

A&E exec veep-general manager Bob DeBitetto said the "Family Jewels"series grew from a "Biography" special on Simmons.

"Suffice it to say, he lives in an interesting world, both unconventional and traditional at the same time," exec said. In the past year, Simmons was a guest judge on "American Idol" and starred in the VH1 reality series "Rock School," teaching classically trained students in the U.K. about rock 'n' roll.

A&E skein will revolve around the family life of Simmons, his longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed (a former Playmate of the Year) and their two kids. The Grief Co./A Day With and the GENE SIMMONS Co. are producing.
