You're Not Gonna Believe This!

Kiss

It's official: Kiss is getting into something new. Specifically Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, who else? You may think you're seeing things, but the Star Child and the Demon are teaming up with Hello Kitty to create a new series on the HUB Network called 'Kiss Hello Kitty'

“The Hub Network is the perfect home for the TV show, ‘Kiss Hello Kitty,’” Simmons says. “We are incredibly excited about this opportunity and want to make all our millions of fans worldwide proud of a show they can watch with the whole family.”

Paul Stanley adds  “Knowing and viewing the Hub as I do daily with my three children, it is the perfect home for us to bring the ‘Kiss Hello Kitty’ juggernaut to yet another generation.”

For Those That Live in the UK and Love The Rolling Stones

They have confirmed a date at the Glastonbury Festival on June 29

Mick Jagger said earlier on Twitter  “Can’t wait to play Glastonbury. I have my wellies and my yurt!”

Rumor has it that the festival is already sold out, and rumors also fly around saying that the Stones will play "fewer than 20 dates" on their new tour
