From PaulStanley.com:
Paul Stanley, founder and front man of the legendary rock band KISS and highly-successful fine artist, and his wife Erin, a Los Angeles attorney, announced today that they are expecting a baby girl in August.

This will be the third child for the legendary Star Child and his wife who married in 2005 and live in Beverly Hills, California with their daughter Sarah Brianna (2), son Colin Michael (4) and son Evan Shane (16) from Stanley’s previous marriage.

“There is nothing greater in life than family, and my accomplishments as a father rank at the top of my successes,” Stanley said. “Erin and I are blessed with our expectation of the addition of another princess to our family and a new member of The KISS Army. I may be 59, but the only rocking chair this rocker is getting ready for is the one for my new baby.” 

The entire KISS performance at Rock Am Ring 2010 will be on MTV HD tonight - Sky channel 358 @9.30pm. Brilliant show if you haven't seen it yet, will bring baclk good memories of the 2010 tour! Thanks to green_valley for the heads up.

Paul Stanley will (should...) be on CNN's "Connect The World" tonight on SKY 506 at 9PM. It was supposed to be last night but it got cancelled due to the happenings in Egypt.

A new unofficial DVD is getting release in the UK next month, here's the press release from Weinerworld:-

"Interviews with band members, plus exclusive raw footage licensed from the source of KISS receiving their star on the walk of fame, unedited, see it as if you were actually there! Includes interviews promoting the film "Runaway." See Peter Criss in unedited raw footage in Hollywood in its entirety which isn’t available anywhere else!. This is an essential addition to your KISS collection!

From the early 70s, KISS has been the spectacle for all to see, with their elaborate fire-breathing and blood spitting, bombastic stage show, and larger than life personas. Formed in New York City in 1972, the American rock band were easily identified by their trademark face paint and stage outfits, rising to prominence in the mid 70’s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured firebreathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars and pyrotechnics."

Happy Birthday to Mr Stanley who is 59 today (depending on which DOB you use off the internet!),
