CBS reality series "Rock Star" will return for another go around this summer, and this season's winner will get to front a brand new supergroup featuring former members of Mötley Crüe, Metallica, and Guns N' Roses. Drummer Tommy Lee (Crüe), bassist Jason Newsted (Metallica), and guitarist Gilby Clarke (Guns) will use the Mark Burnett-produced show as a forum for selecting a lead singer for their new band, Supernova.

Last year's series, of course, featured surviving members of INXS and their search for a replacement for the late Michael Hutchence. And I became hopelessly addicted to the show, to the point where this blog featured practically nothing except posts about the competition.

And I'm looking forward to more of the same this year (though it just won't be the same without sweet Suzie McNeil). [Zap2it] Metal Mavens Back CBS' 'Rock Star' (via TV Squad)

I found the format of the show a bit odd in that the contestants get to spend so little time hanging out with the band. As a music fan, you know that chemistry means so much more to a band than the things these guys get judged on. I wish them luck, but it seems like these poor bastards are being set up for a let down.
