There's a nice article with Gene in todays Sun, it mentions the wedding and lots of stuff you've heard already, but it's definitely worth a read.

IT was shaping up to be a pretty ordinary day until the phone rang.
"It's Gene Simmons here," said the caller in a smooth, low American accent.

"I don't believe in assistants. I would like to meet you for a chat."

It was a refreshing personal approach from a celebrity in LA, the world of showbiz public relations moguls — and particularly surprising as Gene is one of the world's most extravagant and richest stars.

The 62-year-old helped turn his facepaint-daubed rock band Kiss into a billion-dollar empire and has a personal fortune of more than £200million after raking in cash from a host of other business ventures.

As we arranged to meet at a cafe near his Beverly Hills mansion, it was clear it was no longer going to be an ordinary day — Gene Simmons is not an ordinary man.

His entire business operation is run from a little black book he keeps in his left cowboy boot.

As he picked at his breakfast of an egg-white omelette, the famously long-tongued star pulled the book out like a gun from a holster: "When I'm not sure what day it is I reach in my boot and take out my office.

"I have 30 years of these and always keep it in my boot. I can't leave the house without it. One day they will all be sold at auction.

"In it I have my Kiss credit card, my daily medicine intake. I have a list of my business ventures, some important phone numbers — most of whom you'd recognise — some cash and my insurance information."

Gene's fondness for the little black book prompts me to ask if he has really slept with 4,600 women as rock legend suggests. "It's not true," he replied. "It's 4,800."
