HOTTER THAN HELL
Kiss band member Gene Simmons wants you to read about rock all night long. His new memoir, Kiss and Make-Up (155,000 copies in print after three pressruns), percolates beneath the top 10 at No. 15. Simmons wagged his tongue on a media blitz that included the Today show, The View, National Public Radio's Fresh Air, and The O'Reilly Factor. Speaking of O'Reilly, he's still in the zone. The No Spin Zone hangs tough at No. 1 in nonfiction. And finally, the unthinkable has happened: The cheese has been moved. Spencer Johnson's business tome drops this week to No. 11.
