Kiss Reality Show To Replace Simmons And Stanley

KISS rockers GENE SIMMONS and PAUL STANLEY are planning a reality show to hire their own replacements when they quit the band.

During an interview with a reporter in Norway, Simmons revealed a deal has already been done and that the show would begin shooting this year (08).

He told Roy Hilmar Svendson, "We have already signed the contract, and it is going to go through in a couple of months."

Paul Stanley has poured scorn on Simmons claims - but confirms they are discussing the idea. He is quoted on Blabbermouth.net saying, "These things are typical. Gene says something as if it was a fact, but there is no signed deal. The future has many possibilities. Will it happen next week? No! Am I opposed to the idea? Of course not."

Neither of the pair has revealed when they plan to leave the band, but earlier this year, Stanley admitted he was coming close to retiring: He said, "I really, firmly believe there will come a time when the band will continue without me."
