Is that KISS Bassist Gene Simmons in that Sex Video?

According to AVN.com, a video of rock and reality superstar Gene Simmons debuted Tuesday, February 19, on a website operating out of Panama called GenesSecret.com. The black-and-white video alleges to have captured Simmons, who denies that the man in the video is actually him, in a sexual liaison with a voluptuous young blonde woman who has been identified and alleged to possibly be Austrian supermodel, Elsa. Whether it is Simmons or Elsa is up for debate, according to AVN.com and several others who have seen the footage. The story behind the video is plausible, however, in that Elsa is a spokesperson for Frank's Energy Drink, a product that Simmons is reported to endorse.

The debate as to whether or not it is Simmons (or Elsa) may never be resolved but some of the video has been leaked to the internet. The blogosphere has been flooded with commentary, speculation, and gossip since the story broke. Some say it's just a cheap publicity stunt staged by the aging rocker himself to keep himself commercially relevant. The video is purported to have been shot secretly.

Gene Simmons is no stranger to notoriety and has made a name for himself since the 1970's as the long-tongued, blood-drooling, fire-spewing bassist frontman for the rock band KISS. His sexual exploits have become legendary, largely due to self-promotion. Simmons claims to have slept with at least 4600 women. In recent years, the aging rocker has made a name for himself acting, but exploded back into the public eye with the reality show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels," which chronicles the lives of Gene and his family, most notable of which is his longtime live-in girlfriend and Playboy Playmate of the Year Shannon Tweed. And just a few weeks ago, Simmons was fired by Donald Trump on NBC's reality show "Celebrity Apprentice."
