Hi Jason,
Apparently it is true. They met, as they were staying in the same hotel, different floors and they met to visit in one another's rooms. Karen was shocked to find out that a groupie was waiting in Gene's room for him. They chatted. Gene seemed to flirt a bit with Karen, and finally he left. But the rest of this story is in Gene's Book...

The following excerpt is from a Goldmine magazine interview Gene Simmons did in 1998. This was the last of about 30 questions they asked him: Lastly, Gene, I heard you met Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters back in the '70s. That sounds like an interesting match, fill us in. That's true. I really got along with her. She was terrific. She was fascinated by Kiss. She went to see the show that night because the next night The Carpenters were playing. She loved the show, was crazy about it. Never saw anything like it in her life. She called me in my room and said, "Come on down." I thought she wanted to play. So I left my guest in my room and I went downstairs and we sat for hours talking about stuff and music and just life. I was fascinated. There was not a sexual bone in her body that I ever got. She was also fascinated by the idea that there was a girl waiting for me upstairs. "Isn't she getting angry?" "No, she'll be fine, I'll make sure she's happy" She said, "and she just loves you because you're in the band?" "Yes." "Amazing!"  |

Sounds like Karen's the one Gene Simmons couldn't get. I read other outtakes from his book and he's been around with a good amount of famous women.

Karen maintained her dignity with Gene. In another interview I read on their meeting Gene says she was quite an intellectual conversationalist. That she was very fancinating to listen to.
Here is another quote from the internet.
The Kiss frontman has used his fire-breathing charms to seduce Cher and Diana Ross, but, alas, not the late, lamented Karen Carpenter, with whom he spent a night just talking.
