Did you catch either or both episodes of the new season of Gene Simmons' Family Jewels last night?
The first one documented the concert on the night that Paul Stanley collapsed, as we reported here when it happened. Other than that, there is so much manufactured nonsense on this show now that it's gotten out of hand.
I mean, most of the time, it's just amusing silliness you can overlook - like when they "found" a snake in their van on their camping trip - but the whole lost dog scenario last night, with the animal rescuer that had the same attitude as the captain from Jaws... I mean, "over-the-top" doesn't begin to describe it.
And what's with all the "suspense" surrounding the lie-detector test? We already have the answer! Though I admit Gene's lawyer did a damned good job of covering that up. And that's a good thing, because that tape is about as hot as watching your granddad get laid - which, when you think about it...
Gene Simmons' Family Jewels is still a really entertaining show, but all the manufactured stuff that goes along with it is getting to be a bit much. I mean, so what if they're just a "regular" family and nothing much interesting happens on a day-to-day basis? He's a frigging rock star, married to a former Playboy Playmate, with a kid that writes and draws his own comic book line! If you can't find enough interesting footage from all of that, then you don't really deserve a reality show!

Oh yeah, and did you see when Shannon lifted his wig and showed his bald pate? That was no joke - Gene Simmons is bald! They may have had to shave his head for that operation thing they're prolly going to show next week.
