Paul Stanley, lead singer/guitarist of the costumed rock band Kiss is a serious painter.  I guess its not such a huge surprise when you consider all the face painting over the years.  What is the most surprising to me is that I didn’t hate all of his paintings.  I’m no art critic, but I know what I like.  Some are a bit simple, featuring repetitive images of hearts and stars, but a bunch were fairly impressive with great use of textures and bright colors.  Here are a few of my favorites found just browsing for just a few minutes on his site, www.paulstanley.com.

Just for the hell of it I’m embedding my favorite Kiss album (when they still wore makeup of course) Destoyer from 1976.  Enjoy!

Shirley Manson of the late 90s alternative rock group Garbage is now a Terminator.  Shirley plays Catherine Weaver the CEO of a mysterious technology company and secretly a…. T1000, a liquid metal killing machine on Fox show Terminator:  The Sarah Connor Chronicles.  See Shirley in her bizarre killing machine debut in the 2nd season premiere below.

Surprisingly the show isn’t too bad.  The writing isn’t always that great, but what do you really expect from a science fiction show on Fox.
