Even the Anti-Christ Superstar is a sucker for romance ... at least on Valentine's Day.
TMZ caught death-obsessed goth-rocker Marilyn Manson leaving a very lovely -- and very expensive -- V-Day dinner at Nobu with a mystery date Saturday night.
After the meal, the man who took his moniker from a famed murderer, was nothing less than a perfect gentleman -- chivalrously escorting his lady into a waiting ride.
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!
After all the reality TV show hoopla that followed with last year's Rock Star: INXS quest to find a new singer for the group, JD Fortune and Co. today were dropped by their label Epic Records.
Meanwhile, this year's incarnation, Rock Star Supernova, may have to change its name after a San Diego judge last week approved a preliminary injunction filed by an Orange County, Calif. punk trio with the same name. 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), pending a trial of this action on its merits, or until otherwise ordered by the court."
In the year which produced Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," music has re-discovered the world's demand for true soul. Now comes Detroit-bred Natives of the New Dawn, who may have made their trek to town at exactly the right time.
The NATIVES have navigated the three years of their existence as successfully as any band in an industry where lines are drawn in the sand between genres. A 2nd place finish at the 2005 Emergenza International Band Competition(over 9,000 bands competed) may legitimize the fact that these guys just might be the something needed to get people to open their minds by opening their ears.
Music was built on certain solid foundations- soul, rock, etc- and when you come across a band like the NATIVES, you are able to feel that foundation. If you like what you hear, wait until you see themlive.
