Family matters for Gene Simmons and the Sopranos

Gene Simmons doesn't want more kidsWhen it comes to the birth of a new KISS licensing opportunity, Gene Simmons is open arms. When it comes to the discussion of a birth of another Family Jewel, he has a completely different reaction.

Matriarch Shannon Tweed prodded Gene about bringing another bundle of joy into the Simmons' clan. Less than excited, Gene suggested they adopt a child and bet that she'd drop the idea after enduring a year-long process.

Following in the footsteps of Madonna and Angelina Jolie, Shannon brought home an innocent African-American baby. This is where the situation stops being funny. Although there were very cute moments between the baby and Gene, it's really become unpalatable to watch another celebrity bring home a child like a pet. Even if it was in jest, it just seems in bad taste to make adopting a baby such a cavalier joke.

Last night, we also welcomed back the Sopranos family into our homes ...
(WARNING: Spoilers ahead)

Tony gets on Bobby's last nerve on The Sopranos If you've ever played Monopoly with your siblings, then you probably lived a version of what happened on The Sopranos last night.

Tony and Carmela decided to spend the weekend at Janice and Bobby's lake house. Janice mentioned the improvement of her relationship with Tony. Little did they know, she spoke too soon. Bobby ended up knocking Tony's lights out after Tony made a bad joke about Janice. The combination of sour feelings and Monopoly will always yield this reaction every time.

It's always exciting to watch a fight break out during a hockey game, but during The Sopranos, it seems a bit wimpy if it doesn't end in a whacking.

Disturbing image: I turned on Family Jewels late one night and much to my horror Shannon Tweed is just plain old now. Ah, she helped me get through my teen years so nicely; unsettling to see her nearing menopause. Ditto her once uber-hot sister.
