GENE SIMMONS Sells Kidney Stone For Charity!

World Entertainment News Network reports that KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has raised $15,000 for a good cause — by selling a kidney stone he passed in a bizarre online auction. Eww, talk about disgusting!! I think I just threw up in my mouth!

Simmons reveals he recently suffered the ailment, but came up with a unique use for the solid formations of urinary minerals after passing it through his body. He says, "I passed a kidney stone and I put it on eBay for charity. (I got) $15,000."

While it's cool that Gene raised $15,000 for charity, it's pretty damn disgusting that someone would actually want a flipping passed kidney stone. That's just gross! What happened to putting a guitar or a t-shirt up for the highest bidder? Maybe next time he gets sick, he can put his vomit in a jar and sell it on e-bay for charity, now there's an idea!

MÖTLEY CRÜE's 'Crüe Fest 2' Adds Second Stage!

The new Monster Energy Stage doubles the entertainment value at Crüe Fest 2 with five extra bands showcasing the next generation of rock, including one local band in each tour market! The performances on the Monster Energy Stage will be staggered between main stage acts, creating a non-stop music event and adding to the overall festival atmosphere. With no change in ticket prices, rock fans will be given the opportunity to see ten great rock bands for the price of one! Talk about getting a bang for your buck!

A local band will be chosen by the presenting radio station in each market contributing to the legacy of rock bands on the tour. The chosen band will open the Monster Energy Stage for a dedicated and Crüe Fest 2-sized crowd. "It's always been in our hearts to turn our fans onto new rock music. A second stage seems to be just what the doctor ordered for Crüe Fest 2 and gives loyal CRÜE and rock fans more for their hard earned money. See ya there," said MÖTLEY CRÜE's Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Tommy Lee.

Monster Energy has dedicated its brand to live music over the years as part of major national and international festivals, specialty concert tours and substantial one-offs, in both core sponsor and associate sponsor categories utilizing on-site activation through multiple avenues. The partnership with Crüe Fest 2 marks the first time Monster Energy will have a mobile stage dedicated entirely to their brand. "MÖTLEY CRÜE is such an iconic band with the most loyal fans in the world. In a time where it seems everything is being cut back, MÖTLEY CRÜE is giving more to its fans and at the same time giving up and coming bands exposure. Monster Energy is proud to be a part of the havoc that will be wreaked across the nation this summer," says Brent Hamilton of Monster Energy.

The main stage at the Live Nation produced Crüe Fest 2 stars MÖTLEY CRÜE and features GODSMACK, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, DROWING POOL, and introduces new hit icon, CHARM CITY DEVILS! The sequel to last summer's most successful touring festival begins its North American trek in Camden, New Jersey on July 19, 2009 and comes to an end on September 5, 2009 in Darien Lake, NY.
