This CBS reality-competition series was a sequel to the same network's Rock Star, in which a talented newcomer was selected from a huge field of aspirants to perform with the prestigious rock band INXS. In this case, the winner was invited to join a brand-new musical aggregation called Supernova, comprised of several immensely talented veterans: Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe, Jason Newsted of Metallica, and Gilby Clarke of Guns N' Roses. The 15 finalists lived together in a large Hollywood Hills home, performing their singing and instrumental specialties before Supernova each week. Star potential was judged on the basis of originality as well as the ability to successfully imitate the styles of other artists. Hosted by Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke, Rock Star: Supernova premiered July 6, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
