Simmons Lands New Reality Show Role

KISS star GENE SIMMONS is to front a new reality TV show which will see contestants composing music jingles.

The programme, simply titled Jingles, will air in the U.S. later this year (08) and will feature Simmons as a judge. It will be hosted by former American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell.

Jingles will see a team of wannabe musicians battle it out by composing tunes for a variety of different subjects from food products to sports teams.

Simmons is no stranger to reality TV - the rocker previously starred in his own show Gene Simmons Family Jewels and hosted British talent show Rock School which ended its two-series run in 2006.
