Gene Simmons is comfortable being on television. He stars in the A&E reality series Gene Simmons: Family Jewels, and has appeared as himself on hit shows like Castle and Ugly Betty. So it’s no surprise the KISS superstar is guesting in the 14th season on show CSI.

“We’re really excited to have Gene Simmons guest-starring on CSI, playing himself in a rock-and-roll-themed murder mystery,” said executive producers Don McGill and Carol Mendelsohn.

Simmons will appear in the 17th episode tentatively scheduled for March 12.

The Israeli-born rock star played bass for the band KiSS. He co-founded the metal/rock band in the 70′s. With them, Simmons has sold over 100 million records.

KISS singer/guitarist Paul Stanley ‘s upcoming autobiography, Face the Music: A Life Exposed , will be hitting stores a little earlier than initially expected.  An April 22 release date was announced in December, but the book’s arrival has now been pushed up to April 8, which is two days before KISS will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

To celebrate the memoir’s publication, Stanley has scheduled a book-signing tour that includes multiple stops in the New York City area and in Southern California.  The trek currently includes six signing events, running from an April 7 appearance at a Barnes & Noble store in the Tribeca section of New York City through an April 25 visit to the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco.

A few rock stars have written brief reviews of Stanley’s book, including Led Zeppelin ‘s Jimmy Page , Elton John and Foo Fighters ‘ Dave Grohl .

Page writes, “Paul Stanley proves himself as an artist in music and on canvas and now with a great book.”

John says the memoir is “[b]oth honest and inspirational,” adding that it features “[a]mazing tales from one of rock’s great frontmen.”

Grohl adds, “Paul is a great man who has achieved great things.  From the Popcorn Club all the way to the Hall of Fame, his story is inspiring and motivating for anyone who dreams big.”

Here are all of Stanley’s confirmed book-signing appearances:
