KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Look for the KISS sighting at the end of this 'Will It Blend' comedy clip.

Tom finally got Bieber Fever, but eventually realizes that a "legend" needs to be a little older to have their own autobiography.

TALK SHOW HOST MONTEL WILLIAMS: STARCHILD IN WAITING?

Montel Williams, host of “The Montel Williams Show”, dressed and performed as the Starchild during a recent guest host stint on “Good Day Sacramento” prior to KISS’ stellar concert performance in California’s State Capitol.

The iconic founder and front man for KISS took a few moments backstage to critique Montel’s performance, advising the celebrated TV host to “keep up the good work. There’s a place in the band for you.”

No word yet if Montel has been fitted for his own custom Starchild boots.

KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

I saw this Saskatchewan Roughriders Football team billboard in Saskatoon featuring a fan gracing the makeup of one of our loved ones. KISS is everywhere!

First off, thanks for an amazing concert in Malmo, Sweden, back in 2010. It's hard to come up with just one word to describe the show.. awesome, great, over the top, world class, fantastic... and on it goes.

Now, returning to the purpose of this e-mail.. I just wanted to let you see my first KISS-tattoo!

I got it made in January and it took about five hours to complete. It's positioned on my left calf.

To be totally honest, it hurt like he**, especially when he finished Paul and Gene's faces! But, I'm very happy and pleased with the result so it was totally worth the pain.

I got the idea of getting this tattoo when I bought the KISS Box Set and looked through the book that was inside. It's the first picture when you open the front cover.

Oh yeah, by the way, next time you guys come to Sweden.. I am so going to buy an Meet & Greet-ticket! And I'm going to ask you if you'll do me the honor of signing your autograph next to your portrait! (And yes, I'm going to get that tattoo'ed as well!)

Thank you for your precious time,
hope to see you soon again.
You're the best, always were and always will be.

Best regards,

Paul Lundgren
