KISS bassist/vocalist GENE SIMMONS has issued the following message via his official website (www.genesimmons.com):

"Talked today about a possible (..gulp) Queer Eye For The Straight Guy appearance. They called and asked me if I would do it. I'm a fan of the show. We may shoot on the 28th of September And, while the PR people at most places prefer not to "leak" any info until they're ready, I don't play like that. As soon as I make up my mind about something, I will let you all know. On September 11th, we are going off to the NASCAR races to see our KISS Cars race...all three of em!!! Check out Kissonline.com for all the details. On September 17th, Friday at 9 or 10 pm (depending on where you live), Third Watch (NBC) will air the Premier Episode I appear on as Crime Lord Daniel Mann... Check it out. On the 22nd of September, I may be off to Russia for discussions with local politicians about a Big Event. More news soon. Early October, I'll be doing a Six Episode Television Series for British TV. Contracts should be signed shortly and I'll post the specs as soon as possible. On December 3rd, tentative plans are for me to be Toasted by the Friars Of Beverly Hills. More news soon. Deep in discussions for a Gene Jeans (and of course a Gene Jeannies line for girls). A Gene Simmons (sans makeup) action figure may be coming your way soon."
