Gene Simmons' Lawyer Confirms Authenticity of Sex Tape

With the alleged release of a Gene Simmons sex tape, the blog-o-sphere has been going wild with reports. However, Barry E. Mallen, Simmons' legal counsel, has confirmed, through an email to Owen Thomas the managing editor at valleywag.com, that the tapes are indeed the Kiss bassist and were taped without his knowledge by Traci Anna Koval. The statement further explains that the copyrights of the tape were acquired in a written agreement from Koval by Allied Industry Tours, Ltd.

Simmons and his legal representation are demanding a cease and desist on all streaming of the film from the website which has been charging users to view the scandalous tape. Futhermore, Simmons is demanding all profits earned from the online stream, as well as the legal fees incurred by Simmons, be paid to the Kiss member.

The email also demands penalties be paid for the usage of Gene Simmons name and likeness on the Web site as it violates California's right of publicity statue. Finally, the email requires that the website in question reveal the source by which they received a copy of the sex tape as the written agreement with Koval warranted that no copies existed.

Alleged Gene Simmons Sex Tape Surfaces

A sex video allegedly featuring KISS bassist Gene Simmons has surfaced on www.GenesSecret.com. The footage appears to be Simmons in several different positions with an Australian model named Elsa, who is a spokesperson for Frank's Energy Drink, a product which Simmons also reportedly endorses.

If the man in the video is indeed Simmons, it wouldn't be too far-fetched. The rocker has boasted that he has slept with more than 4,600 women, which he claims does not bother his live-in girlfriend and mother of his two children, Shannon Tweed. He was also a presenter at the 2007 AVN Adult Movie Awards, where he won the 'Golden Tongue Award.' And he told Spinner in an exclusive interview last year, "Life is like being a stripper: Eventually you've got to take it all off." He also joked with us that fellow sex-tape star Paris Hilton is "a bigger rockstar than anybody."

GenesSecret.com is run out of Panama by an unidentified owner. The site is charging $9.95 for a one-day viewing of the racy video.

Pete Doherty's Homoerotic Hot Shots

Today was a wildly entertaining day on the interwebs. We hit the floor after Sarah Silverman's 'I'm F---ing Matt Damon' video, and got a dose of "Wow, that's really cool" after watching an improv group make human still art in Grand Central station. But, as he tends to do, Pete Doherty stole the show.

Photos of the often-in-shambles Babyshambles frontman playing tonsil hockey with Peter Wolfe surfaced to the delight of bloggers everywhere. While the randy pic of Dohery and Wolfe -- who has been credited with introducing Doherty to Debauchery 101 -- was taken in April of 2004, its journey around the web couldn't come at a better time. The ex-Libertines musician is on the cover of Spin this month, espousing his newfound commitment to clean.

Amy Winehouse Bleaches the Beehive

UPDATE: The singer has gone 'Back to Black' and is again sporting her trademark black beehive.

Nothing says "fresh start" like a makeover. And with the year that the embattled singer had in 2007, no one -- save for Britney Spears, of course -- needs one like Amy Winehouse.

Fresh off a Caribbean vacation, the 'Back to Black' singer was spotted back in London sporting a white-hot new 'do, reminiscent of the retro rockabilly lady tattoos she sports on her arms. But don't let the blond hair throw you -- she's still rocking her signature cat-eye makeup.

In celebration of her transformation, here's a look at some of music's most notorious follicular schizophrenics.

Shins Keyboardist Arrested for Domestic Violence

The Shins keyboardist Marty Crandall was arrested by the Sacramento police for a domestic violence charge against his girlfriend, Elyse Sewell. Sewell, a former 'America's Next Top Model' contestant, posted photos of her bruised arm as well as a blog post about the experience on her Live Journal account. She has since removed the post at the advice of her legal team.

Meanwhile, Sewell was also arrested after Crandall showed a bite mark on his arm to officials. She was later released.

The keyboard player allegedly assaulted Sewell while in an intoxicated state on January 4. Crandall is still in custody, with bail set at $25,000. Crandall's court date is scheduled for Tuesday.

Stephen Stills Recovering From Surgery

Legendary singer-songwriter Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills & Nash underwent surgery on his birthday, January 3, for prostate cancer. Stills' wife, Kristen, released a statement after the procedure saying it "went remarkably well and he couldn't be better."

Stills' condition was announced by bandmate Graham Nash on December 17, in a telephone interview on 'Larry King Live.'

Meanwhile, the singer is still scheduled to appear at the premiere of the biographical indie film 'CSNY / Deja vu', directed by fellow Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young performer Neil Young, at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25. He is expected to return home today.
