Parliament Hill rocked as KISS frontman Gene Simmons and his partner actress Shannon Tweed took the stately buildings by storm Tuesday, delighting hundreds of waiting fans and some codgy Senators who got in on the media circus that ensued.

A whirlwind tour of both the House Of Commons and Senate for the royal rock ’n’ roll couple was a big hit and erased any ill feelings from the fallout of the cancellation of Shannon Tweed Day by Ottawa’s acting mayor Doug Thompson.

Tweed reiterated she holds no bad feelings about a civic day in her honour being cancelled.

“Honestly, I came here to have a friendly reunion with my friends and see his concert and nothing has changed,” she said.

Simmons piped in with his own comments about the controversy.

“It’s really OK, not everybody loved Jesus either,” he quipped, shocking some of the people who had surrounded the couple.

Tweed quickly put her hand over his mouth to prevent the rock star from saying anything else outrageous. It was photographic gold: blonde Hollywood actress jokingly cuts off rock ën roll bad boy from speaking - as if that would ever happen.

Large crowds lined the corridors as Parliament Hill staffers, tourists and other onlookers angled for a spot to view the couple as they walked along constantly followed by a photographer and a film crew shooting new footage for their TV reality series Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

“I’m speechless and that takes a lot,” said Tweed, moments after finishing the tour, led by MP Pierre Polievre with assistance from senators Hugh Segal and Marcel Prud’homme. “I never visited here when I lived in Ottawa and when I was trying to find my way in the world. This is the most beautiful building I’ve ever been in and the (Parliamentary) Library is the most stunning I’ve ever seen. I’m so impressed.”
