According to Variety.com, MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee, along with bassist Jason Newsted (VOIVOD, ex-METALLICA) and Gilby Clarke (ex-GUNS N' ROSES), are forming a new band called SUPERNOVA and will use the "Rock Star" TV program to search for a lead singer. In addition, "Rock Star" has signed songwriter-performer Butch Walker to produce SUPERNOVA's first album, to be released just before the new band hits the road in 2007. Walker, named Rolling Stone's 2005 "hot" producer, has written or produced tracks for AVRIL LAVIGNE, PINK, BOWLING FOR SOUP and TOMMY LEE. Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke will return as hosts. Each weekly episode, which will air on CBS-TV, will also now feature guest appearances by celebs or rockers. "Friends of mine, like Slash, Macy Gray, Moby and Rob Zombie, will join us and throw in their two cents about who should stay and who should go," Navarro said. Lee released his third solo album two years ago and starred in NBC's "Tommy Lee Goes to College" last year. Newsted left METALLICA in 2003, forming the band ECHOBRAIN and performing for technothrash band VOIVOD. Clarke has worked with various artists since GN'R split, including Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz. Burnett, David Goffin, Lisa Hennessy, Navarro, Lee and Carl Stubner will exec produce the second season of "Rock Star". Conrad Riggs and Eden Gaha are co-exec producers. |

Yes, I am quite sure it will be aired in the UK. Apparently the first series, where they were looking for a new singer for INXS, was on VH1 in the UK and it may have also been on ITV2. We will be going from no Jason to Jason every week.  I am interested to see how Jason will work with two glam rockers. I hope he does not start donning make-up and stilletoes. Hopefully he won't change and just stay true to himself and his fans.

I think everybody has their own opinions on him. I...don't really know, I guess I'm on the fence about him. |

Hon.... Jason is going to be one of the members of the new band - Supernova - along with Tommy Lee and Gilby Clarke, who are going to pick themselves a new lead singer. Jason's not a contestant.

the first series was only aired on VH1, it was not aired on another channel in the UK so i doubt if this series will be aired on ITV2 I would take a guess it will be aired on VH1 again or another music channel |

I'll watch this show, if only for a good laugh. I don't know about this whole supernova band thing. It sounds really ridiculous to me. Anyways, if I remember right, this show got extremely low ratings last season and it was moved to VH1 in hopes of getting better ratings. I watched it until they started mangling Nirvana covers then I stopped tuning in every week. But hey, that's my opinion and I'm standing by it as well as just putting it on the table, not wanting to start WWIII or something. |

Well, there will only be one star attraction for me. I don't usually watch reality rubbish and I wouldn't watch this if Jason was not in it. |

I've got to admit, that as much as I love Jason, I'm a little irritated with him right now. What is more "Fucking lame"? (as he so bluntly said on SKOM) Taking therapy to help you through tough times, addictions, egos, and internal strife in order to keep the biggest rock band on the planet from disbanding prematurely? OR Starring in a reality TV show along side a caracature named Tommy Lee, and looking for a lead singer for a band that will probably record one- if any albums, in front of a national audience? For someone that has always alledegly been about the music, it seems like a pretty "fucking lame" publicity stunt. Just my 2 cents. |
