NEW YORK - How would the guys from “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” make over the black-and-white makeup of KISS? We may get to find out.

Gene Simmons, the tongue-wagging bassist of KISS, is considering an appearance on the Bravo reality show. On his Web site, Simmons says producers have asked him to join the Fab Five for an episode.

Bravo publicist Bill Brennan told The Associated Press Friday that the network has had discussions recently with the rocker.

“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” is now in its second season, airing on Bravo at 10 p.m. (ET) on Tuesdays.

Beginning Sept. 1, Bravo will air four episodes of the British version of the show, complete with on-screen pop-ups to ensure that none of the jokes get lost in translation.
