Recent guilty obsession (well, not so much an obsession), Gene Simmons' Family Jewels. Starring Gene Simmons, the bassist from KISS, his girlfriend of 23 years, Shannon Tweed, and their two kids, Nick (17) and Sophie (14). It's like The Osbournes, without the wackiness and the overdose. You can actually understand Gene Simmons when he talks, and the people are much more pleasing to the eye.
Case in point, Nick Simmons, the 17-year-old son. I don't have a picture of him, but he is absolutely darling in my eyes. And here is where the guilt comes in, I'm 23, he is 17. I feel like such a perv, thinking that a 17-year-old is hot. For goodness sakes, he's only a year older than my brother. My sister called me a cougar, I prefer the term pervert. Anyhow, google him or something, because he is REALLY good looking.
Since I never watched The Osbournes, I really can't compare the two. However, Family Jewels is very script-y. You can tell. The family members enter the scene going, "So, I'm going to the movies," or something to that extent. However, it's the little side notes that are interesting. Like when Gene and Shannon were sitting on the couch, facing the camera, and Shannon told him to hold his hands out as if he was driving, and do a shoulder check. His whole body turns, thereby causing the car to swerve whenever he drive, thus illustrating her point that, Gene Simmons is a terrible driver. So cute, so funny.
I was kind of reluctant at the beginning, because I've watched Gene Simmons' Rock School. His failure to inspire those British private school kids was disappointing. Nothing like Jack Black's School of Rock. Sure it was make believe, but it was good. You just gotta cast better, that's all.
Speaking of which, Jack Black is going to be hosting MTV Awards, looking forward to that. I won't watch it live or anything, of course. I still have a life, you know (uneasy heckle). But I'll probably catch a rerun or something. Jack Black is hilarious, hands down. Combining my two love, comedy and rock music, he can definitely pull it off.
Everyone is always so surprised when I said I like rock music. I do. I can't take R&B or hip hop anymore, just, too much. My adolescence is catching up, yay.
