The first Kiss Coffeehouse opened June 27 in the South Carolina resort town of Myrtle Beach. A crowd of 2,000 showed up for the store’s opening, hosted by band members Gene Simmons, right, and Paul Stanley, minus the Kiss makeup. Among the drinks the coffeehouse serves: Kiss Frozen Rockuccino, French Kiss Vanilla and Demon Dark Roast. Simmons declined to show off his trademark tongue. “I would, but I noticed the floor’s kinda dirty,” he was quoted by The Associated Press.
British rocker Robbie Williams stayed at the five-star George V hotel in Paris recently. So where did Williams dine that night?

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the rail-thin actress who plays Meadow on “The Sopranos,” was asked by the New York Post’s Cindy Adams how she stays so thin. “Look, all I can tell you is that dinner last night was an entire box of chocolate chip cookies,” she said. Sure, Jamie-Lynn, followed by a bathroom purge.
