fracas

Sometimes I don’t understand life or people. Scratch that. I understand people, just not celebrities.

Take the whole sex tape phenomena. It’s easy to see why a barely talented quasi-celebrity would make a sex tape… like Paris Hilton. Obviously it’s going to create increased celebrity and (no pun intended) exposure which is going to affect their wallet and whether or not they spend their Saturday night waiting in line at a celebrity club or inside a celebrity club.

But what I don’t understand is why those who already have a level of fame, would even allow themselves to be filmed having sex. Aren’t they by that point, smart enough to realize there’s a world full of leeches out there who would take that tape and use it to make themselves a whole lot of money at their expense?

And doesn’t this seem to make sense particularly if you’re Gene Simmons and look good only to yourself and perhaps, an aging Canadian gal.

By that, I refer to Shannon Tweed, not fracas.

Fracas is indeed, an aging Canadian gal, but I assure you, she doesn’t find Gene Simmons even slightly appealing. No, Shannon is the aging canuck who is supposed to be the only one doing something (that rhymes with canuck) with Simmons but it now seems the man who loves to brag about his Family Jewels, is canucking with someone half Shannon’s age.

Over at egossip.com, the story goes that Simmons is furious about a tape allegedly showing him and a model named Elsa, doing a bit of Shouting out Loud. No denial takes place though, only reports that he is furious about the tape. Of course back in 2005, Simmons was quoted by AudioMastermind in an interview where he spoke about being with someone and having sex with others by saying,

“I have been happily unmarried for 22 years and we have two great kids but neither of us has dominion. Loving and caring about someone does not mean they have the right to own you. She will mount the milkman if she wants, so relax, why torture each other?”

There’s a still shot over at Perez Hilton that Perez humourously tagged with “oops” and “old people” and of course, Perez links to the genessecret.com  site where you can join to view the entire tape.  There’s a hilarious intro over at the GenesSecret.com site, and while I’m not so sure it’s really Gene, I’m sure the tape will do for Elsa what Paris Hilton’s tape has done for her.

Why don’t I think it’s Gene? Well, though I have no plans to join so I can see the whole tape to make sure, from the four stills that are offered over at genessecret, none show him offering up that famous tongue. Yes… I said it. There you go. If you had secured the sex tape of one very legendary Gene Simmons, and you wanted people to believe you had a sex tape of Gene Simmons, wouldn’t you show the tongue as proof it’s really him? Honestly… if you were Elsa and you were canucking Gene, wouldn’t the whole point be to benefit from the main reason for his fame? There’s got to be a photo. If there isn’t, it ain’t he.

On the other hand, it is hard to believe there would be two guys that ugly in the world.

The jury is out here, though I’m not sure I care if it’s really Gene… I’m just happy to provide the fracas.
