Gene Simmons Reads Weather Report for Local Los Angeles News Station, Predicts People Should 'Party Every Day'
The KISS singer and bassist crashed the weather report on Thursday, March 13 on FOX Weather Los Angeles. Wearing black leather pants, a denim button-down shirt, a black baseball cap and sunglasses, Simmons, 75, joined meteorologist Adam Krueger for a special broadcast.
At the start of their weather report, Simmons cheekily told Krueger, "You look much better in real life than you do on TV."
Krueger told the "Strutter" singer, "Oh, you look great in both," to which Simmons replied, "I know that."

The legendary rocker stepped aside to show Los Angeles on the map and give audiences his analysis of the forecast. Krueger pointed out that there's been a lot of rain driving L.A. residents crazy, slipping in a KISS lyric. "You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy," he said, referring to their song "Rock and Roll All Nite."
"I wrote that," Simmons realized. "I like that."
Krueger is known for slipping song lyrics and quotes into his meteorology reports. In January 2024, the reporter weaved "Get Low" by Lil Jon into his broadcast one day. In June, he featured Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" in a report.

The clever quotes didn't stop there. "So this weekend it's looking pretty good if people want to rock and roll all night," Krueger continued. Simmons agreed, adding, "They should probably party every day, yeah."
"I think you should probably join a showbiz thing, because, you've got it," the "Radioactive" artist said. Before the news segment ended, Simmons attempted freestyle rap and a quick jig.
Simmons previously delivered a weather report in September 2024 for KTLA, giving commentary about how folks should dress and what they can do during certain weather conditions.
"45 degrees in the evening, nice and cool, put on a sweater, you'll look cool, just like me," he quipped.
Added Simmons: "Friday, 80 degrees, you know you like it hot. So do I."

He told Entertainment Weekly the origin story of the segment. "The weatherman approached me and asked me if I wanted to jump on and do the weather," Simmons said. "But I told him, 'Hold onto your britches. I'm not your usual weatherman. Weather advisory is in order.'"
Up next for Simmons is his eponymous group Gene Simmons and his Band, embarking on a North American tour in April along with a performance at the Summer Breeze Festival in São Paulo, Brazil on April 26.

Chappell Roan's Long Hair is the Mane Character in Bittersweet 'The Subway' Music Video — Watch!
Days before, Roan announced a limited concert run for the fall in New York, Kansas City and Los AngelesNEED TO KNOW Chappell Roan's hair is the main character in her music video for "The Subway," released on Aug. 1 The Grammy winner sings through New York City while her hair gets caught in everything, from rats to trash on the street Days before releasing the music video, Roan announced a limited concert run for the fall in New York, Kansas City and Los AngelesChappell Roan's latest release is about a missed connection. The Grammy-winning artist shared her new single "The Subway," on Friday, Aug. 1, after performing the ballad live for almost a year. Roan, 27, also shared a melodramatic music video, where the "Pink Pony Club" hitmaker is convinced she sees a girl she recognizes, chases after her and loses her when she boards the subway. Instead, she spends the music video wandering through New York, forlorn about the girl who got away. Her Rapunzel-length hair get caught in taxi-cab doors and is riddled with rats and trash while riding a bike. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She romanticizes the mundane act of riding the public transit in "The Subway" with bright costumes and dancers throughout the cars. "'Til I don't look for you on the staircase / Or wish you thought that we were still soulmates / But I'm still counting down all of the days / 'Til you're just another girl on the subway," she sings. Perhaps the most heart-wrenching lyric in the song is when she changes her tune from "the girl who's got a way" to "the girl who got away." "The cliche of 'the girl that got away' barely scratches the surface for me with this song," Roan said in a press release. "I wrote it as I was stumbling around New York with a broken heart and I kept envisioning us on every street, fire escape, coffee shop, park and yes… the subway." "The Subway" music video also features a cameo of the Instagram-famous Green Lady as the pair takes a swim in the Washington Square Park fountain. Fans were moved by Roan's music video for the ballad. "me listening to the subway by chappell roan right now btw this is me incase you were curious about me listening to the subway by chappell roan," one person said, sharing a gif of Sadie Sink crying. Another wrote, "bitches will wake up and listen to the subway by chappell roan first thing in the morning like did you even try to have a good day today?" "chappell roan somehow making the 'shes got away' even more devastating in the recorded version of the subway somehow," someone said. On July 24, Roan announced the Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things pop-up shows in New York, Kansas City and Los Angeles. "I am sooo excited to bring Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things to New York, Kansas City, and Los Angeles!!! I love these three cities so much and wanted the chance to do something special for them this year," she said in a statement. "Since I started performing, I have always wanted my shows to be a party that everyone is invited to, and the only way to do that is to keep ticket prices affordable and away from scalpers," Roan continued. She added: "The Fair AXS ticketing process for these shows is one measure we are taking to ensure tickets end up in the hands of fans who actually want to be there." With the ticket sales, Roan is donating $1 per ticket to "organizations that provide resources and support for trans youth." "It is so important that I give back to the Trans community as they have given me so much throughout my entire career," she added "The Subway" is available to stream now.

Marc Maron's Podcast Made Him a Better Comic, Just One Part of a Rich Legacy
Marc Maron recently announced he would end his podcast, 'WTF,' in the fall, and the response from comedians, especially those a generation or two younger than him, has been strikingly personal. On Instagram, Rosebud Baker described listening to hundreds of episodes of 'WTF' as a kind of school for stand-up, while Dan Rosen told me that he was disappointed he never got to be on the show and that every one of his peers fantasized about telling their life stories on it. 'I didn't have Johnny's couch,' the stand-up Mike Lawrence wrote in a social media post, referring to 'The Tonight Show' host Johnny Carson: 'My generation of comics coming up had Marc's garage,' where the podcast initially originated. Maron was neither the first stand-up to have a podcast nor the most popular (that would be Joe Rogan, who started a few months after Maron in 2009). But he was the most important to the art of comedy. Long before it became common practice, Maron proved that you could become a star by going around the usual gatekeepers and that large audiences would listen loyally to two comics talking shop at length. Like so many trailblazers of new digital forms, he has become one of its harshest critics. 'I feel like I released the Kraken,' he told John Mulaney on the episode revealing he was retiring the podcast. Maron regularly hammers the popular comics in the Rogan orbit as the second coming of morning-zoo talk radio or, worse, fascist propagandists. In his entertainingly prickly new special 'Panicked' (HBO Max), Maron quips: 'If Hitler was alive today, he'd probably appear on Theo Von's podcast.' Maron, 61, is often positioned (including by himself) in opposition to Rogan, 57, but they have a lot in common. Around the same stage in life, they both worked in mainstream pop culture before becoming podcast pioneers. They revere stand-up, are interested in politics and regularly wax poetic about the Boston comedy scene, even name-checking the same artists. When I saw Maron in the 1990s, he had a large interest in conspiracy theories. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Why Women Are Rejecting Oversize Rolexes for Delicate, Ladylike Watches
For years New York publicist Yael Fraynd was enamored of oversize, heavy watches. These days? She covets 'delicate' faces that are 'small, curved and feminine.' Ahead of her 40th birthday, Fraynd says she's hunting for a watch that reads as jewelry, subtler than the borrowed-from-the-boys clunkers she once favored. Until about six months ago, Natasha Gabbayan, a Los Angeles vintage clothing dealer, routinely borrowed her dad's 40 mm stainless steel Rolex. Now the 29-year-old is rummaging through her mom's drawers, scouring for slender finds from the 1990s. 'It's as if a watch and a bracelet had a baby,' she said of one diamond-studded discovery—a 18K-gold Audemars Piguet. 'It feels fancy but also powerful. Because it's small, I feel safer wearing it.'
