KISS bassist/vocalist GENE SIMMONS has posted the following update at his website (www.genesimmons.com):

"Did an early morning Radio Satellite Tour (I stay on my phone and they connect different radio stations in various cities) for the DVD release of my Nickelodeon cartoon, My Dad The Rock Star.

Started making real headway re my plans to release the biggest box set of them all - so far, to be called Gene Simmons Box Set - 100 songs. Met with an entity that wants to step up to manufacture/market. More news soon.

Also in discussions re new TV ventures. 12 of em!!!

In deep negotiations with a huge sports venture, that will change the way business is done. Which is what we're all about. Thinking outside the box.

Leaving at the end of the week for England to finish Series II of Gene Simmons Rock School. Different school. Different story. Same arrogant, in your face rock star. Me.

Proud to say we have been 'picked up' (deal made) re a new Gene Simmons reality show for the New Year. Filming starts November.

And, deal finalized for a new joint venture with Clear Channel. More news later.

The fabulous PAULA ABDUL came by and pitched me a few ideas. And, more than one of the ideas has 'legs' (potential - can go the distance). Looks like setting up two of the ideas today. Meeting with three different buyers (- buyers are Production Studios, who would pay/and or deficit the cost of producing a show, or a network/cable outlet that would pay a 'license fee' - either way, someone writes a check).

Met with Tag Heuer (the quality watch company) about a line of expensive watches. Looks good.

An English production company, that has a show seen around the world, has approached me about appearing in their show - as of now, and unless/if they show me more details, will probably not do it.

The top Executive at NBC TV's Extra called and asked if I'd co-host the show with MARK MCGRATH. Like the show. Will co-host. So, if you're near a TV set on Thursday, check it out. Am assuming it'll be broadcast same day as shoot.

On Friday, Sept. 23rd, begin shooting location scenes for Gene Simmons Rock School II in LA. Then off to England."
