KISS Meets SpongeBob SquarePants on Dry Land?!

[2000 MAN]

Rocker Gene Simmons and Longtime Love Shannon Tweed Lend their Voices
to a New Episode of the Hit Animated Nickelodeon Series

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed dropped by the Nicktoons Studios in
Burbank, CA this week to voice act on an upcoming episode of
Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants called "20,000 Patties Under the
Sea." In the episode, Simmons will voice the role of the menacing Sea
Monster who is fed Krabby Patties by SpongeBob and Patrick in attempts
to keep his anger at bay. Tweed plays the Sea Monster's mother who
comes to her son's defense after being insulted by Plankton.

While developing the episode, executive producer and KISS fan Paul
Tibbitt felt Simmons' voice would be perfect for the role. Simmons
agreed and brought Tweed on the project.

"I was born for this part. I've been waiting all my life to be a Sea
Monster. It's in my blood. It's what I do. It's my job. SpongeBob
is jealous, as well he should be. I was brilliant," said Simmons.

"20,000 Patties Under the Sea" will air on Nickelodeon in 2008.

The GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS (A&E) TV crew also filmed the record
for posterity, when the 2nd season debuts with 20 all-new episodes in
the spring.
