It's like Jim Carrey's daughter on American Idol all over again. Over the weekend, Sophie Simmons tried out for X Factor. On Saturday she called her dad and told him she wouldn't be able to make it for Father's Day because she was in the Bay Area auditioning for the show. So, in typical Gene Simmons style he took Shannon and their private plane and showed up at the auditions. He probably also filmed it. When Gene showed up, Simon Cowell said it didn't matter and that Sophie was not going to get any special treatment and LA Reid said that since it was Gene's daughter it should be a yes. If, it is going to be truly done without any parental involvement don't you think these offspring should use fake names or stage names and just do it on their own. I like Sophie a lot. A whole lot. Maybe she did want to do it on her own and Gene came barging in. But, did she know he would probably do that? why didn't she wait until after the audition?
