KISS GUITARIST MOVES
INTO PENTHOUSE AND PAYS HOMAGE TO THE BEATLES
(from Las
Vegas weekly)

Paul Stanley and his wife, Erin Sutton, join the LOVE crew.
Paul Stanley is enjoying a honeymoon-styled Vegas vacation with his newly pregnant wife, Erin Sutton -- all built around his KISS concert tonight at the Pearl in the Palms. The happy couple checked in first to their very own penthouse condo atop George Maloof's new Palms Place tower.
It's their first weekend in the palatial pad, which has a spectacular 360-degree panorama view all the way from the Red Rock range on the West out to the mountain peaks on the eastern edge of the valley.
I toured it with George while it was in final construction and can tell you it's so amazing you'd never want to leave! Paul is a long-time friend going back 30 years now and we even share the same New York City stock broker! He won't mind me telling you that his platinum multi-million-dollar playpen comes complete with a secret outdoor oversized sunken jacuzzi for two!
Then they headed off to see The Beatles LOVE show by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage. Before the show started they swiped the credit card for a small shopping spree in the LOVE Boutique. Paul purchased a $180 Outpost brand, studded long-sleeved Beatles T-shirt for his wife but only spent $40 for a junk food-brand hunter-green Beatles logo T-shirt for himself.
After the show, Paul and Erin went backstage too meet the
cast and crew of the spectacular musical journey of the Beatles' life. He signed the
stars' wall of fame with a special message "All You Need is LOVE and KISS."

KISS FRONTMAN,
WIFE EXPECTING SECOND CHILD
(from people.com)
Paul Stanley, the legendary co-founder and frontman for KISS, and his wife, Erin, are
expecting their second child together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
Erin, 36, an attorney, is due this winter.
"Erin and I are thrilled and can't wait to meet our newest addition," Stanley,
56, said in a statement to PEOPLE. "We've been extremely blessed and we're excited to
see what the future holds. I often joke that I've traded the Viper Room for the diaper
room, and it looks like my tour's been extended!"
The couple, who married in 2005, live in Beverly Hills with their son Colin, who turns 2
in September, and Pauls 14-year-old son, Evan, from a previous marriage.
News of the pregnancy comes as Stanley recently completed the European leg of The Kiss
Alive/35 World Tour, which encompassed 30 sold-out shows in seven weeks.

BRUCE KULICK TALKS STAR WARS WITH MAUL STANLEY
The news blog at
StarWars.com (the official Star Wars website) has posted a new interview with former Kiss
guitarist Bruce Kulick. The article serves as an epilogue to his recent onstage interview
with the mysterious Maul Stanley (the parody hybrid of Star Wars character Darth Maul and
Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley). Whereas their original discussion dealt primarily with
Bruce's experiences in Kiss, the follow-up focuses on his lifelong appreciation of the
Star Wars saga (and its historical similarities to Kiss). A few excerpts from the
interview follow. Also included is a link to Maul Stanley's appearance in the latest
episode of the Talking Metal podcast.
