BACK in early October, Gene Simmons was in Nashville, TN for filming of the next season of the Gene Simmons Family Jewels reality series.
Sources such as the Tennessean and Blabbermouth.net revealed prior to the tapings that Gene could be seen with cameras following him as he took a midday cruise on the General Jackson Showboat.
It turns out that wasn't the only public spot in Tennessee the crew filmed Gene at for the fourth season episode.
At the historical 'Loveless' cafe and restaurant, the night after the cruise, Gene enjoyed a meal and the crew filmed a portion of the episode with him outside which included country jamming around a fire pit with several Tennesseans.
The Loveless Cafe has been featured in a number of widely viewed TV programs and print publications such as People Magazine, FOX News, Martha Stewart; USA Today, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Sophie Simmons' Sweet 16 Set for Season IV?
Last week, the Gene Simmons Family Jewels crew filmed the so-called birthday party of Gene's daughter Sophie, in Los Angeles, CA, which is apparently to be broadcast next March as the series' season première.
My assumption is that this would be Sophie's Sweet 16 party. According to several online sources, Sophie's birth date is July 7th, 1992, which would mean she's been 16 for nearly four months now.
With reality shows such as MTV's My Super Sweet 16, it seems to be the likely premise for the Simmons family's own reality show. Perhaps Sophie and her mother Shannon Tweed play a role in getting Gene to go overboard. Regardless of that speculation, Sophie will no doubt come off much classier than the brats on MTV, I'm sure.
Professional makeup artist Nicolle Landre was hired for the event, and will appear on the episode. In a recent interview with the Modesto Bee, Landre said "I'm not really comfortable with it. I wore black, if that says anything. I really like being behind the scenes."
Her most noteable work to date includes doing body paint on the famous "painted ladies" of the Playboy Mansion for events by companies that rent the mansion for use.

Simmons Records: Third Time's A Charm?
SIMMONS RECORDS, a music label venture Gene Simmons took on most prominently in the 1980's through RCA/BMG is apparently pending a rebirth.
"I am closing in on two, separate offers to relaunch my Simmons Records label," Gene says, "This time, we have two majors who want to do this the right way."
Simmons Records was home to bands HOUSE OF LORDS, a name Gene originally trademarked himself and let Greg Giuffria use; SILENT RAGE, a California rock band; and GYPSY ROSE, a Canadian rock band discovered by then RCA Records A&R Tom Treumuth (current owner of Hypnotic Records in Hamilton, ON.)
Simmons Records closed its doors during the Grunge revolution in Seattle. But in the new millennium, through Sanctuary, he released two more albums under the Simmons Records label: His solo-album entitled ASSHOLE, and the self-titled album by the artist BAG.
Gene says he'll make an announcement on his website, GeneSimmons.com, when he's decided which offer he will accept.
He also plugged his upcoming appearance dates, including his Nov. 12th role as Keynote Speaker for Mediaweek's 23rd Annual Media All-Stars at the Waldorf=Astoria, as well as his appearance at the NY Stock Exchange November 19th, and a November 20th Keynote Speaker role at the Billboard Convention in New York City.
Each of these appearances will be filmed for Season IV of Gene Simmons Family Jewels.
