Next week, KISS frontman and reality star Gene Simmons is gracing daytime television when he appears on the Emmy award-winning series, The Rachael Ray Show. Hosted by Rachael Ray, the daily talk show focuses on more than just the famed 39-year-old cook's culinary skills, as it also tackles a varied array of socially-relevant topics.
Gene Simmons' episode is scheduled to air on Tuesday, March 11, the same day the third season of Simmons' family-centric reality series, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, begins airing on A&E. The 58-year-old star talked a little bit about his appearance on The Rachael Ray Show, but refrained from giving any specific details about the episode.

Previously, BuddyTV reported of a sex tape featuring KISS frontman and Gene Simmons Family Jewels star Gene Simmons and a woman who is not his longtime partner, Shannon Tweed. Since the tape was first made public, several reports regarding a variety of issues – from the identity of the woman to what is being done on the legal front – have been circulating, with TMZ reporting that Simmons' legal team has ordered the website responsible for promoting the video to cease and desist because of copyright infringement. Simmons' lawyers apparently reasoned the site has no right to promote the video through face paint, because face paint is a KISS trademark.
Amidst these reports, Gene Simmons has posted several messages on his personal website addressing the sex tape, which he has deemed “garbage.” Last week, he told fans that his “legal team is looking at all ramifications and options,” and thanked them for “all the kind words of support.” The rocker also said that Shannon, and their two children Nick Tweed-Simmons and Sophie Tweed-Simmons, are “happy and healthy” and that “all is well” in the household.

A Gene Simmons sex tape. It exists. Wrap your mind around that for a little bit. Why anyone would be cruel enough to unleash such a thing into the world is beyond me, but the truth of the matter is that it's out there. This isn't one of those self-promotional deals, to be fair. Gene Simmons didn't release it himself, so we should only be angry with the KISS front man for having the gall to tape himself in the act. Unfortunately for Gene, the woman in the sex tape (which is said to have been taped years ago) is not his partner of 20 years (and Gene Simmons Family Jewels co-star) Shannon Tweed. Tweed is also the mother Gene's children, though she and Simmons are not married. The woman in the Gene Simmons sex tape is apparently a model, who Gene met in conjunction with Frank's Energy Drink, for which Gene was a spokesman. Only a rock star would make a sex tape with an energy drink model.

Rock icon and reality star Gene Simmons has a tremendous effect on women. By his own count, he claims to have slept with more than 4800 women. Nowadays, however, it seems the ladies have set their eyes on another Simmons, and it's none other than Nick Tweed-Simmons, Gene's teenage son.
"Nick has usurped my throne, as the alpha-male of all alpha-males," Gene Simmons, who stars in A&E's Gene Simmons Family Jewels, told an Australian publication called The Advertiser. "So when I'm in public and the girls run over and I'm thinking to myself, 'Simmons, you devil you've still got it'. And you know when they giggle? [That's when] I'm thinking, 'Yeah babe, I've still got it' and they go: 'Where's Nick?'"
