From: Gilroy Dispatch There are a bevy of curious television outings this week, but none of them looks more quirky than KISS rocker GENE SIMMONS' homage to, well, himself, in "GENE SIMMONS Family Jewels." The show debuts with back-to-back episodes at 10pm Aug. 7 on A&E. The lowdown? It's another celebreality-type series - with a twist, of course. Here, we can expect to find the iconic tongue-wagging crooner moving through his own colorful life. Along for the ride are his children, Nick and Sophie, who, at least at first glance, appear to be the "normal" ones in the Simmons household. It's easy to see why. Even without the makeup, Simmons tends to be a scene-stealing machine. What may be most notable here is how the show will feature Simmons' wife, former Playmate of the Year, Shannon Tweed. Expect heads to turn, as I am sure the show's producers will milk Tweed's personal bond with Simmons. After "The Osbournes," I've shied away from officially putting the channel clicker down for another celebrity family. Although, Bravo's "Being Bobby Brown" did have a surreal fascination - if only to see Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown dig their own graves. Much better was A&E's "Growing Up Gotti," which spotlighted - to surprising ends - the happenings of mafia daughter Victoria Gotti and her active, often unruly, teenage sons. You have to wonder what celebrity cable wants to feature next? After all the Danny Bonnaduce's, Christopher Kinghts, Farrah Fawcetts et al, haven't we dabbled in these waters long enough? Then again, with today's celeb-obsessed culture, I doubt we'll be seeing less of any headliner anytime soon. |
