Brooke is Back - RockStar "Supernova"

After a successful first season when INXS searched for their new singer (replacing the late Michael Hutchence) RockStar will be back, this thime looking for a new singer to front their new band, made up of old rockers Tommy Lee (Motley Crue-drummer) and guitarists Jason Newsted (Metallica) and Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses).

Variety reports that songwriter-performer Butch Walker has been signed to produce Supernova's first album, to be released just before the new band hits the road in 2007.

The most important thing though is that Brooke Burke will be returning with Dave Navarro as hosts. Each episode 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.

The original RockStar was great seeing all the old guys in INXS, great music and (for the most part) great performers. I've got to wander what Supernova will have to offer though. INXS did clinic on style, song selection, etc. What will Supernova do: clinics on drugs, getting drunk and sleeping with strippers.

Personally, I'll only be watching it to check out Brooke and any skimpy outfit she decides to wear - the rest of it will be a trainwreck. I'm not expecting the same kind of callibre of contestants and I don't expect much from Supernova either!
