GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS RETURNS TO A&E FOR AN ALL-NEW SEASON

SEASON FIVE WILL MARK THE 100TH EPISODE OF THE HIT REAL-LIFE SERIES

NEW SEASON PREMIERES SUNDAY, MARCH 21 AT 9 PM ET/PT WITH A SPECIAL ONE-HOUR EPISODE

Legendary rock god and multi-hyphenate Gene Simmons returns with his unconventional family for an all-new season of A&E's hit unscripted series "Gene Simmons Family Jewels," premiering with a special one-hour episode on Sunday, March 21 at 9:00 PM ET/PT. Season five, which will cross the 100th episode threshold, begins with a terrifying moment for America's most traditional, non-traditional family. Shannon has a health scare that makes the family rally and Gene is caught between two worlds - being there for the mother of his two children and being on tour with KISS.

Recent docu-series featuring a family dynamic have proven to tear families apart, but the Simmons-Tweed clan just keeps growing closer together. The new season will give viewers a behind the scenes look at the family's many adventures and milestone moments that make them so cohesive. From Sophie's high school graduation, to Gene's 60th and Nick's 21st birthdays, this is going to be a very emotional year for Gene and Shannon as both their children are fast becoming adults.

Here's the printing artwork for the packaging of the just approved KISS Super Bass Headphones from licensee Pricepoint Accessories. KISS Headphone will be available at retail stores in March.

The Calgary Philharmonic is going full makeup to get into the mood for the orchestra's latest rock and roll collaboration, A jeans 'n classics tribute to KISS.

One of the funnier moment during the Super Bowl was a Dr. Pepper ad featuring Mini Kiss. These guys are a real Kiss tribute band, and they checked in live from New York Monday morning. Kaley O'Kelley chatted with the band, and might have come away with a date.

On this day in KISStory - February 10, 1977, KISS won the People's Choice Award for the single "Beth" in the Best Song category.

Here's an interview with Mini KISS on Good Day LA.

On this day in KISStory - February 9, 1999, The KISS Playboy issue hit newsstands everywhere. The issue featured Gene Simmons on the cover, along with a 12 page section on KISS and the girls of KISS.

Here are a few photos of Gene Simmons from the "KISS Kompendium" book signing last night at Barnes & Noble Booksellers at The Grove in Los Angeles, California.
