Celebrity Apprentice - Gene Simmons

Gene Simmons is a hoot isn't he? He reminds me of Ozzy Osborne, way too many drugs for far too long. Here are perhaps some things you didn't know about him. At least I didn't know...

Gene Simmons
KISS Frontman / Entrepreneur

Gene Simmons was born in Haifa, Israel, in 1949 and is the only child of his mother, a German Nazi concentration camp survivor. He has always attributed his ethics, morals and drive to his mother's notion's about life. "Every day above ground, is a good day," his mother is apt to say. Every day above ground, indeed.

He came to America at eight-and-a-half years of age. He graduated State University (NYSU) and City University (CUNY) and got a Bachelor of Education degree. He taught sixth grade in Spanish Harlem in New York City.

Simmons speaks a few languages: English, Hungarian, Hebrew, German and is getting better at Japanese every day. At present, he is becoming fascinated by Mandarin Chinese and has every intention of becoming fluent in it. Make no mistake about it. He will.

Huh? huh.
