"Rock Star" Gets Creative With New Name

Supernova, the intended name for the manufactured band from the CBS reality series "Rock Star," has towed the line of a court order to change its name.

According to the group's label Epic Records, the group's new name will be Rock Star Supernova, which also was the official name of the series' second season. A spokesperson for the label says, "It's going to be Rock Star Supernova. That's their actual name."

The group had to make the change after a San Diego judge approved a preliminary injunction filed by a California punk trio called Supernova. The judge barred the TV band from "performing rock and roll music, or recording, or selling rock and roll music recordings under the same (name)."

Rock Star Supernova, featuring ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and singer Lukas Rossi, have posted two new songs online, "It's All Love" and "Be Yourself and 5 Other Cliches." Both are likely to appear on the group's debut album, which is set to hit shelves on November 21st. Wow! That's quicker than an "American Idol" record!

16. It's ok for you to call the guys from "Supernova" fags? Do you have the inside scoop on their sexuality? How dare I say such a thing about you but it's ok for you to say that about people that you don't even know. Shame on you George.

23. ROCKSTAR SUPER OVAH... HAS BEEN CENSORING ANYONE WHO DISPUTES THE RESULTS OF CONTEST. MESSAGE BOARDS AT ROCKSTAR.MSN.COM ARE HEATED WITH CONTROVERSY. ANY INTELLIGENT THREAD IS DELETED HOURLY. EX-FANS OF THE SHOW ARE BANNED IF THEY SAY ANYTHING ALLUDING TO A "FIXED" CONTEST WHICH TOMMY LEE HAS ALREADY ADMITED TO. MOD RAMPAGE IS BEYOND CENSORSHIP. THE OFFICES OF MSNBC, PRODUCER MARK BURNETT, AND VERIZON WIRELESS DECLINED TO COMMENT PENDING FURTHER LAWSUIT. VEIWERS WHO SPENT MONEY TO TEXT VOTE OVER THE SUMMER ARE DEMANDING AN EXPLANATION. FANS ARE QUESTIONING THE VOTING RESULTS SINCE DILANA AND TOBY APPEARED TO BE IN THE LEAD. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES.

24. All you f***ing stupid people saying that the band sucks, is stupid ass's. Lukas has the best voice i've ever heard, it's like escasty to me. I love Lukas Rossi, he is my favorite singer of all time. And I think the band is cool as s**t, they all come from some of the best rock bands of all time, saying they suck is basically saying that three of the best rock ledgends suck, that's total disrespect for rock-n-roll, not cool!!

I don't know what it is about him or his voice to me i'm seduced by him I can't help it he's all i've thought about and even after the show has ended I can't help it, if I had to give up everthing in my life I would, I can wait, call me what you want I don't give a f**k what all you haters think of me, i'll show you don't worry you'll see, Lukas Rossi is the hottest rocker ever, his smile is gorgeous, and his eyes are unforgetible. Lukas was right, you'd see the real him if you listen to his voice and look into his eyes, if people were to really look instead of casting hate towards someone they've never even met befor.
And anyway can all you haters sing, I can, you all just don't know what true rock is. I t's creativness, it's being yourself and not someone else. It's having a voice that's different, weird, and good, but that's never been heard befor, and that's what Lukas Rossi brings to the world, you're all fools, befor you judge him you'd better judge yourself first, you're not perfect, nor I or him. Stupid People!! P.S: You'll see me in a few yrs on one of the Rock Star shows, I dress just like Lukas, and I have the most amazing voice you'll ever hear in rock history. Remember me!!................

25. hahahahahahahahahaha. You know i really DON'T appreciate talent. Talent is basically saying you have a god given gift you didn't have to work for. Well thats what I think of when i think of this band. A bunch of talented guys who didn't do a bit of work for what they have. They're assholes who don't give a shit about you or anyone else unless you give them money. What is wrong with this delusional country. You see an opportunity to make "it big" (get rich without working, and no singing and playing an instrument is not work. I work 50 hours a week and playing music is how I RELAX) think god loves you more than others so he gave you and a select few some super powers which you then use to exploit simple minded people who worship you like you really are as you see yourselves, a gift from god. These "reality" shows are less entertainment and more a horrible warning of how not to become a soulless sellout. Have the guts to have some depth. Mettalica showed in some kind of monster that under a very slight amount of pressure they can act like a bunch of babies and pretend the world is some sort of horrible place and life's not fair. Hmmm sort of like a campy soap might deal with real problems. It's as if rock stars are actually just spoiled rich brats. Whoah. what a concept.
