KISS frontman Gene Simmons, known for his demonic black and white make-up, is going to star in a British reality TV series as a public school teacher. The 55-year-old rocker, who claims to have slept with 4,600 women, will turn students into a rock band at Christ’s Hospital in West Sussex, England, the Daily Mirror reported Friday. Simmons was a primary school teacher before he formed hard rockers KISS in New York in 1972. “The culture clash will be hilarious,” said Channel 4 chief Andrew Newman, who said he was thrilled to have signed Simmons for the series, “Rock School.” © Copyright 2004 by United Press International
