An avatar show is planned for the later part of 2027.

Gene Simmons said, "I don't like the word acquisition.".

Collaboration is exactly what it’s about.

It would be remiss in our inferred fiduciary duty — see what I just did there?

People might misunderstand and think, ‘OK, now Pophouse is doing that stuff and we’re just in Beverly Hills twiddling our thumbs.’ No, that’s not true.

We’re in the trenches with them.

We talk all the time.

It’s a collaboration.

Paul (Stanley) and I especially, with the band, we’ll stay committed to this.

It’s our baby, Gene Simmons, to AP

Mike DeWine, Republican governor of Ohio, chimed in as well. While I understand the Democratic National Committee has just today proposed a work-around to help get President Biden on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement. As I previously said, we do not want to leave something so basic as having the sitting President of the United States on the ballot to others when this can-and should-be done legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement. For these reasons, it is important that a bill or multiple bills that accomplish these common-sense measures come to my desk right away this week.

This Day in History: 'Star Wars' Opens (Saturday, May 25th)

This Day in History: , 'Star Wars' Opens. May 25, 1977. The first installment of George Lucas' saga "in a galaxy far, far away," premiered in the U.S. on Memorial Day weekend. Cinema would be forever marked by the premiere, described as an "earthquake" by Princess Leia star, Carrie Fisher. Months before the release, Lucas and 20th Century Fox co-ordinated an extensive marketing push. The anticipation for the film led to long lines, sold out showings and, ultimately, a pop culture phenomenon. Actors Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher became overnight stars and fan obsessions. Now under the helm of Disney, new 'Star Wars' films and streaming shows are scheduled well into the 2020s
