PAUL AND GENE ATTEND CAROUSEL OF HOPE
October 22, 2012
Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons attended the 2012 Carousel of Hope Ball, which took place Saturday night in the VIP room of the Beverly Hilton. Carousel of Hope benefits the children's hospital in Denver and the research to help eradicate juvenile diabetes.

In attendance were George Clooney and Stacey Keibler, Clive Davis, Sidney Poitier, Shirley MacLaine, Berry Gordy, Jane Fonda, Jerry Weintraub, George Schlatter and Quincy Jones all made that top table, as did Jay Leno, who hosted the show.

But it was Gene Simmons of Kiss who coughed up the big bucks, bidding thousands for a wedding trip to the St. Regis Bora Bora, complete with a couture dress included, despite the fact that wife Shannon Tweed was sitting beside him. Needless to say, Clooney kept his hands firmly in his lap during that auction.
