Less than a month ago people were wondering if Richard Simmons was being held against his will in someone's house along with a few other strange theories. Now there's talk of the es-star hitting screens again.

His manager has reported that he has recently signed a business deal that includes licensing, merchandising, and endorsement opportunities.

Now that his long-time manager, Michael Catalano, has secured rights to represent Simmons, he has plans to release Richard inspired fitness products.

Dan Levin, a member of his management talked to Lisense Global magazine and spoke about the plans:

"Richard Simmons is a beloved American icon and a proven retail brand,"

"Everything he stands for has been the gold standard in health and wellness. He has paved the way for every subsequent fitness personality in this country, yet none of them have matched the impact of Richard’s indelible imprint on America's psyche."

"Prominent is proud to represent Richard Simmons and has plans to launch a global line of thoughtful motivation and inspiration-based products that will achieve the tenets Richard has always espoused — love yourself no matter what you weigh, make time to do good for others and laugh a little."
