He might not have made I'm a celeb, but Gene is still going on a reality show....

From DigitalSpy (thanks Kevin) 

The Apprentice will regain its former Thursday, 9pm slot when it returns for its new season in January.

The Donald Trump reality contest enjoyed its best ever ratings in the coveted slot - now occupied by comedies such as The Office and Scrubs - several years ago, but the WGA strike has now created an opportunity for the series to return to its former home.

 Jerry Only. Eddie Van Halen. Billy Gibbons. Jack White.  Gene Simmons. Albert King...

We salute rock & roll's most iconic tool of the trade since stuffed spandex - the multinecked, fur-lined, flame-throwing masterpieces that remain as influential as the shredders who strapped them on.

There are rumours abound (again) that Gene will be on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here next week..... well nothing is confirmed yet but we should all know by Friday. Gene did deny this some time ago but he is still rumoured to be there by all the tabloids.

 Sorry for the lack of updates again, I've been over in Gibraltar for a while.

Bill Baker is back with a November update to his Ace Frehley Archives website.
 
I've just added a new live Ace video clip of "Breakout" from Hammerjacks in Baltimore, MD 1992.  This clip has been remastered with stereo audio by Ace Frehley Archives website designer Matt C.
 
I've also started a special Ace Frehley Archives Youtube page -
http://www.youtube.com/AceFrehleyArchive . Here you can find some clips from my Ace Archive along with few special Youtube only clips. The first clip on offer is "Shot Full Of Rock" from Hammerjacks that’s been remastered again by Matt C. The second is a rare clip from my Fractured Mirror bands rehearsal before the 1998 NY Kiss Expo. Fractured Mirror is performing "Torpedo Girl" in this clip. There's also some video of my recent trip to California where I visited my friend Dickie Peterson of BLUE CHEER now on Youtube. I recently built him a bass and personally delivered it. Please check it out!
 
We are going to be working on some more Youtube only exclusive clips in the near future. So please keep checking back. And yes, I'm still working on the book!
