I have a confession – I’ve watched more than one episode of Family Jewels, and I didn’t hate it. That’s the reality show about Gene Simmons, Shannon Tweed and their two kids. Gene seems like a douche (a smart douche, and a great businessman), but I was surpised by how much I liked Shannon Tweed and their kids. Their son Nick is especially nice, in that I’m slightly surprised that he’s the son of a rock star – he’s very well adjusted and kind, which might be a testament to how well Shannon raised him. Anyway, I’ve followed some of the storylines of the show, so I know that Shannon wanted to make her 28-year relationship with Gene official at long last. Still, I didn’t know that they were actually going to go through with it – but they did. They were married yesterday in Beverly Hills:

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have made it official!

After 28 years together, the KISS bassist, 62, married his longtime girlfriend in an evening ceremony outside on the crystal lawn at the Beverly Hills hotel on Saturday, their rep confirms to PEOPLE. The couple’s guests cheered when Simmons said “I do” to his partner.

Tweed, 54, walked down the aisle in an ivory Priscilla of Boston gown – one of three dresses she chose for the big occasion – and carried a bouquet of ivory garden roses.

The couple exchanged vows they wrote themselves in front of 400 guests including Hugh Hefner, Bill Maher and the KISS members (Paul Stanley was in the wedding party).

Also in attendance were the couple’s two children Nick, 22, and Sophie, 19, who was the maid of honor.

And their planned first dance is quite fitting for a couple who have been together for almost three decades: “At Last” by Etta James, to be performed by their daughter Sophie.

Sounds like a nice ceremony. I’ve got to wonder if Gene made Shannon sign a prenup after all of these years, though. I bet he did. Also, according to some reports a few months ago, Gene also refused to promise fidelity to Shannon, only saying that he’ll “do his best”. Eh… either they won’t make it a year now that they’re married, or they’ll make it for the rest of their lives.

After hearing of this Gene Simmons sex tape and seeing some screencaps, I think I know what that “eye bleach” expression means. Gene Simmons is the 58 year-old lead singer for the glam rock band Kiss and is known for his very long tongue. He’s tried to make a name for himself with reality television appearances including Celebrity Apprentice, Rock School, and A&E’s Osbourne’s rip-off, Gene Simmons Family Jewels. This guy even had a face lift that was taped for his Family Jewels show.

Now he has a sex tape out, and it’s being promoted as co-starring a spokesmodel for an energy drink he endorses, Frank’s. You can pay $9.95 to watch it online through a website, GenesSecret.com, (link NSFW) or you can view it all month and get access to other adult movies by paying $29.95. The energy drink is name-dropped so much, and is featured in the graphics for the site, that you have to think that they’re in on it somehow.

Simmons has a live-in girlfriend, Shannon Tweed, who is featured on his reality show. They have two children together, Nicholas, 19, and Sophie, 16. Given that he’s involved with someone else, this sex tape might be something that was taken without his knowledge and leaked, but I’m doubtful. The site hypes him as a “rock god” and the energy drink is credited for giving him stamina. It just seems staged for publicity, or maybe someone set him up.

AVN notes that the domain is operated out of Panama and that there is no way to know who controls the site. They contacted the spokesperson for the other adult material featured via subscription, and they said that they were just providing additional content and had no affiliation with GenesSecret.com.
