Gene Simmons Didn’t Enjoy ‘American Idol’

KISS rocker Gene Simmons admitted to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ that he didn’t like being a guest-judge on the ‘American Idol’ auditions. “You have gone out for dinner with three friends every week and you’re comfortable,” Simmons said by way of illustrating why an extra judge was unnecessary. “Now a fourth person has joined you. It becomes that horrible, icy politeness when you are getting to know somebody. I hated it.”
