Unfortunately, rather than having using a face donated from an actual attractive person, Simmons had to satisfy himself with tightening up the ugly mug he has at the moment. Gene Simmons and his long-time love, Shannon Tweed, both opted to go under the knife together, with the process chronicled by their A&E show, "Gene Simmons Family Jewels." People magazine reports:
The show does take some creative license, making it appear that Tweed tricks Simmons into doing it: He acts surprised when he finds himself in the Beverly Hills offices of Dr. Frank Ryan - and hears that the procedures will run over $40,000 each. (Actually, Dr. Ryan hints that the surgery was gratis.)Ugh. I can't stand Gene Simmons. He's so fakey-fake and gross. I met him once when he came in for a meeting with one of the TV executives where I worked (probably trying to sell this show) and even though he looks like a troll with a bad dye job, ol' boy STILL thought he was working it. That is, until he kept flirting with one of the girls who clearly had no idea who he was and very politely avoided his sad attempts at charm.

Michelle says:
he is a nasty skag.
Perez's Fired Stylist says:
He thinks very highly of himself because of his money and that is so low rent. Shannon Tweed while she seems to be a nice person, was never anything more than a D-list celeb herself. There children are beautiful. I hope they go to college and don't turn into "stars."
dr 90210 says:
are they pumping the brain fluid into his brain or out of it? i hope he got some nice big breast implants.
Myself says:
WHY?
Grammar_gestapo says:
Yeah, stylist, maybe they can go to college and learn the difference between "there" and "their"...
Sybil McGuire says:
He's repulsive and it only makes him more so that he thinks every woman wants him. What scum.
RhoneGal says:
Although Simmons could use it, Tweed has had enough!! Shannon.........STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALPEL! Age gracefully fer fick's sake.
Just Neffie says:
That pic is yucky!!
I love that family! The kids are pretty well-adjusted and compared to other rock-star kids, They're freakin' ANGELS! I'm a little jealous of the close relationship that Shannon, Gene, Nick and Sophie have. We should all be so lucky.
(plus they're loaded)
Rob says:
Your post would actually be funny if this was the permanent result of his plastic surgery. However, that pic was taken immediately after the surgery and, of course, EVERYONE looks like garbage at that point.
Continue with your lame attempts at "humor", though...
say says:
SCUM. along with his scummy garage band.
why is it every pic of his is nauseating?
Pamela Greene says:
I consider myself a surviver of the 60's and if
I could afford it I too would get a face lift etc.
The world we live in all to quickly wants to think
in terms of "youth". There is much to share with
one another no matter the age difference. I watch
Gene Simmons Family Jewels when I can. Very little cursing, no real nudity, children have manners and respect for their parents as well as
a sense of humor. Oh, and if Gene and Shannon are
not married in the traditional sense their relationship shines through with the concept most
married people only dream about. They respect
one another and are a loving team. Keep up the
show with those fresh ideas, love it!
Julie says:
It's too bad... your jealousy shows through loud and clear. Gene Simmons is a stand up guy, Shannon runs his life like a master seargent, their kids are very well adjusted and had great NON-DRUG USING parents as powers of example, did not run amok and will be successful at whatever they do. Gene knows why he is loaded and lets everyone know every day WHY - it's because of his fans, and is humbled in that respect.
Like most old guys, Gene fancies himself a ladies man, and even though he's not, let him have his fantasies - it's what makes life worth living. He's a good bread winner, as evidenced by his constant money making schemes. Almost everything he touches turns to gold, and don't YOU wish you had that ability! Go jump.
karen says:
Everyone is so jealous of this man! If you want money get off your lazy ass and do something with your life! Gene is a wonderful man and brings fun to anyone who will give him a chance.

The magic of Gene is...the ability to sell, sell, sell. make money. Here is a man who became famous by sticking out his icky tongue and people hand him money like breath mints. Forget alleged "music", this man is the salesman of all salesmans. Used car lots should hang his picture on the wall for inspiration. He may have traded his soul to the devil to get his earthly wealthat leat for the next 20 or so years he'll be comfortable. Gene is oddly stuck on himself, a condition called "narcissism". He ought to be proud, he tricked people at every turn (perhaps with the help of someone- first name starts with L ends in R)!lol Look at KISS, not a gorgeous looking group of guys, they solve that buy painting their faces and making that their thing, iconic! Ingenuity at it's best! Gene can turn cow dung into gold, heck- he can just slap a bow on a cow dung and sell it!! Gene is fascinating because he somehow convinced people he was great, not because he actualy is so great, but because he can convince you he is! People, be wise- don't waste your money on a KISS mug, if you want to buy something of Gene's have Gene teach you the secrets of how to scam the money like he did! Time to get smart people. Dorks in $20.00 KISS t'shirts, working all week at Jo-Bob's gas to buy KISS comics and crap. Grow out the mullets and learn from Gene. He is a business man people, the KISS stuff was a device to make the money, perhaps he did like rock, but at the end of the day- all about the numbers! I find him vaguely humorous, but just as I am about to laugh, I say to self "hey self- this dude is worth millions, why the f**$ am I laughing!" Gene, still rockin that leather. KISS are marketing wiz's, the true artists never make money until after death, when the poser rich snobs buy the dead person's masterpieces. Ever hear of Van Gogh? Yep, broke and with one ear 'til the end. Talent shmalent! Despite the fact they risked eternal damnation for fame and fortune, KISS made an empire of wealth off the ear drums of a bunch of skinny, pimply, angry kids. Now, he may be like an old pro still trying to work the strip, but much like that toothless ho, he takes a so-called negative and turns it into the green stuff. What is truly awsome (and creepy) is that with all his money, he only pretends to pay money for stuff, when we all know celebs no longer pay for anything- free food, free designer clothes, free plastic surgery. What a strange world, restaurants can't or won't even give the homeless free stuff they throw out. N.F. L (nice fuc*in life)where the poor bust their ass just to spend money, while those who actually have the cash to pay- don't have to. Hey-dumb people, stop giving away your money! I see people with no car, making 6 bucks an hour rockin a Dooney or Louis Vuitton bag. Stop trying to trick people into thinking you got money! We all know! Stars with cash don't have some designers name or "logo" all over!!!! Dumb rich doctors, nobody is gonna say- "hey I wanna look just like Gene". yet,once again Mr. Gene wins! So, for this genius- I must give props to Mr. Simmons-shrewd devil he is!!! Out witting even the docs for free face lifts! Oh and I am totally suprised how nice the two kids seem (yes, "seem"-who knows what is real in so-called "reality TV").They must get their fairly good looks from their mum because daddy-o Gene is,well lets face it-! Rock star? or my great uncle Ira retired to Boca. Gene can sell fat thighs to an anorexic! lol. Hey-Gene, call up a hair-care CEO, some free product to condition those dry split ends you got. If Gene shared some of his money making ingenuity with us, perhaps he can save his soul. So- pompous as he seems, he did out smart everyone. This seems a mixed message type post, just play it backwards...

Don't Hate Gene says:
Man, some bitter postings here. Yes, Gene Simmons in constantly in selling mode, and perhaps it grates at times, but his story is certainly one that deserves to be applauded. If you read either of his two books (neither to ever be included in the Great Books collection, mind you) you'll learn much about his upbringing and the reasons why he is who he is. He is clearly a productive person who sees every day as a gift. I congratulate his achievements and his ability to live by his own rules. Many people talk the talk, but when push comes to shove, they can't deliver. Gene Simmons delivers.
