KNBC 4 LA aired a news segment on Paul last night. Here's the clip!

Here is a photo from my wedding... I have been a huge KISS fan since the age of 8 and it was only fitting to have my grooms' cake be KISS-themed. Since I planned on coming into the reception with my Gene boots on I decided it to be a Boot itself, complete with a Punisher Cake "bass."

I even danced to Gene's "When you wish upon a Star" with my mother.

KISS,

Greetings from Castleford in England! I was just browsing the channels on my TV when I stumbled across an episode of Stargate Atlantis which is when I spotted this guy who seemed to be sporting the Spaceman outline around his eyes... just proof that KISS is everywhere, even in sunny England! Rock On!

Paul will be featured on KNBC Channel 4 news in Los Angeles tonight during the 11:00pm hour (Pacific time.)

On Sunday, December 19th, Paul will also appear on KNBC TV "Prime Time LA" with host Colleen Williams on Sunday in the 9:00pm hour.

Both segments will focus on his art, philanthropy and family.

A couple of weeks ago, KISSonline shared concept art for the new line of KISS Memorial products being manufactured by licensee Eternal Image, Inc.

These caskets are now in production, and here's a photo of the very first one, just as it left the factory floor!

Frontman Paul Stanley is known for his iconic Kiss makeup -- the black star over his right eye, white face paint and ruby-red lips. Stanley, known as the 'Star Child,' was photographed sans makeup in order to show a measure of support for the NOH8 Campaign.

NOH8 is an artistic response launched by celebrity photographer Adam Bousko in opposition to the passage of Proposition 8, which prevents same-sex marriages in the state of California.

The photo of Stanley's participation in the campaign follows suit with the other subjects who were pictured with duct tape over their mouths and 'NOH8' painted on their cheek.

TOMMY THAYER'S "LEGENDS" GOLF EVENT TO BE FEATURED

On Sunday, December 19, A&E's critically acclaimed reality TV series Gene Simmons Family Jewels will feature the 2010 Pacific University Legends Golf Classic, hosted by Tommy Thayer. The event was held this past August at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club in Aloha, Oregon.

Thayer, the lead guitarist for legendary rock band KISS and member of Pacific's Board of Trustees, persuaded band-mate and KISS co-founder Gene Simmons to participate in the auction-concert-golf fundraiser that benefits the University's intercollegiate student-athletes.

Wishes 4 Kids is a charity based in Leicestershire, England which was created to grant a wish to terminally ill or disadvantaged children. Tonight in Hinckley a very special concert took place in conjunction with The Junior Academy Of Music to raise awareness of the charity and to help raise some money. As part of the concert a very cool KISS tribute took the stage and sang their own rendition of Crazy Crazy Nights.

One of the members of the band was a very special 10 year old called Luke. Luke suffers from cerebral palsy and yet with help from the Academy has learnt to hold a drumstick and keep a beat. As can be seen from the photos Luke had a blast playing Crazy Crazy Nights, even though he made it clear this isn't his favourite song (which happens to be Modern Day Delilah!). He comes from a family of KISS fans with both himself and his brother Matthew being "introduced" to them by their Dad (sounds familiar!).

This is where KISS come into it, with help from KISSOnline, Eric Singer was informed about Luke and provided him with several signed photos and some signed drum sticks. I am always amazed at how KISS treat their fans and this was no exception.

The current issue of German magazine "Drums and Percussion" features a pull-out poster of Eric!

A special thank-you to the fan who spotted it for sending the photo to KISSonline.
