CHRIS - LIL' CHRIS: 'GENE IS A PANSY'

British newcomer LIL' CHRIS has branded his ROCK SCHOOL mentor GENE SIMMONS a "pansy" because he wears so much make-up. The 16-year-old - real name CHRIS HARDMAN - impressed KISS star Simmons on the UK version of the reality show, but Hardman also questions whether the bassist wears a wig. He says, "Everyone knows he's arrogant and loves himself... but he's also a bit of a pansy and he has a wig! "Well, it must be a wig. I couldn't get my head around it. You see it in person and you're like, 'That is not your real hair!' "And don't get me started on him and make-up! Even without the Kiss make-up he puts a little bit of blusher on to make himself look good on camera!"
