Chris was eliminated by papers, rocks and scissors. Check it when Brooke said Supernova was deliberating behind her. :lol:

Saw that too. Basically, I think they would have booted either him or Z, and couldn't decide.

Damn Jill saved herself with that performance. Amy Lee would be proud.

There were tons of rumors about the Australian guy being a plant last year, but he ended up third. I wouldn't really care if there was a plant if they'd actually have good performers. I'm watching Tuesday's show now and it's really disappointing.

OK, just got to Storm Large. Despite her stupid name, she did a good job on the Cheap Trick song. Too many people are rearranging the songs, probably because JD did that last year. The difference was he was actually pretty good at that.

Wow. Chris was easily the best to perform tonight yet he still goes home. I don't even know why they are having them perform again because thats not how they are throwing the people out. I guess it is their band though.

This sucks ass come on to eliminate Chris and keep Zayra is BS. When they asked her to do a song to impress Supernova she did the same song she got berated for doing last night. Then Dave has the guts to say that was Chris's best performance, if that is true why was he eliminated. So there saying Zayra performance which was identical to that crappy one she did last night was good now. These guys are smoking crack or they want to screw the bitch.

I know they have a new drummer, not sure about the other guys though.

Looks like the same drummer to me.

Zayra was the right boot. She is clueless.

Zayara is fucking hot though

EXACTLY! When the critiscm was that she didnt have a clue what they were looking for, and then she turned around and did the same song, (I dont know how she sang it the second time, because I muted it..she sucked so bad last night, and everyone was laughing at her) and then to insult them with her answer to her critisms, and Chris to actually show respect and try to give them what they want, and turned out a decent accoustic vocal, and still get asked to leave?? This show just lost their credibility with me...

To each their own. She looks pretty beat to me. I would rather pork Dana or give Storm my Large one. LOL. Ok, Zayra isn't terrible looking after all, but her pompous attitude and mannerisms make me want to sock her in the beak rather than do her.

Zayra is not remotely attractive IMO.

As for her performance, after someone gets booted last week because of poor song choice, she decides to do the same song that she got nailed over the previous night? I would be surprised if she lasts two weeks more.

Chris' performance of Take Me Out pales so much in comparison to Marty's last year (I believe) it is not even funny. However, his version of If You Could Only See last night was really good, probably one of my favorite songs performed so far this year.

Her idea was to sing the same song closer to the band's style. I didn't think it was much better, but at least she gave in a little. She didn't do the same song to be a defiant bitch.

Chris was better, but that Tonic song is nowhere near what Supernova's style is going to be. That's my only guess as to why they chose him.

Agreed.

They really should let Newstad do the speaking for the group. I'm so f**king bored with TL's limited vocabulary (and insight) into anything - "Dude, I feel so bad." "Well, let's get started then - rock on." Etc, etc, .................... -rolleyes-

I concur. Newsted actually seems the most level headed and the one that actually offers constructive criticism, as opposed to personal attacks or asking about undergarments.

Err.. yeah I don't know what I'm talking about. I could've sworn in the first episode they had a white drummer. Watched Tuesdays show back and it is the same guy guy from last season.

She gives me a Penelope Cruz airheaded defensive vibe. She's probably okay to look at, but when she opens her mouth, I just want to punch her.

She sang that song as if someone was ramming a burning poker up the jaxxie. My god, it was terrible. Ray Davies should beat the crap out of her.

Apparantly the show has been sued by a band who has a copyright for the name Supernova.

I was dumbfounded when Chris got sent home before Zayara. Sure, he wouldn't have made it to the end, but he was certainly improving and trying instead of just trying the same song again, maybe slightly different.

But, Rock-Paper-Scissors? What a joke...

The weird thing was that Chris's hair was getting better week by week...

Pre-existing Supernova band files suit against 'Rock Star: Supernova'

UPI News Service, 07/12/2006

A California punk band has filed suit in San Diego federal court claiming the CBS reality competition "Rock Star: Supernova" stole its name.

The trademark infringement suit filed by bassist Art Mitchell, drummer Dave Collins and guitarist Jodey Lawrence says they have released four albums under the name Supernova since the trio's inception 1989, MTV.com reported.

The suit names rock veterans Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clark -- the three members of CBS' Supernova who are seeking a lead singer via the reality competition -- along with Mark Burnett Productions, Rockstar Entertainment Inc. and CBS Broadcasting.

The original Supernova is seeking a jury trial along with the destruction of all "labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, containers, advertisements, electronic media and other materials bearing the Supernova mark," MTV.com said.

The trio -- still actively performing and getting ready to record a fifth album -- said punk rockers could wind up accidentally buying music and merchandise put out by the metal band of the same name.

LOS ANGELES - What happens when two Supernovas collide? Lawsuit. A Southern California rock band called Supernova has filed a complaint against Mark Burnett's CBS reality show "Rock Star: Supernova," saying it had the name first.

The complaint, filed June 27 in U.S. District Court, claiming unfair competition and trademark infringement, seeks to bar the show and its participants from using the Supernova name. It is also asks for compensatory and punitive damages.

"Our clients believe they have the superior right on the mark Supernova," the band's attorney, John Mizhir, told The Associated Press Tuesday, adding that the band "has a long-standing common-law trademark right to the mark."

The group first performed under the name Supernova in 1991, according to the lawsuit. The band released several singles and three full-length albums under the name, the lawsuit says.

The CBS show using the name first aired July 5. "Rock Star: Supernova" follows 15 contestants who aspire to become the lead singer of Supernova, a new rock band that includes former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke and former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted. The winner will tour with the band and appear on its album.

According to the lawsuit, representatives for Mark Burnett Productions ("Survivor," "The Apprentice") filed seven U.S. trademark applications for the name Supernova and two for "Rock Star: Supernova."

Gary Hecker, an attorney for Mark Burnett Productions, said the company has the legal right to the name.

"The complaint is without merit," he said.

Because the lawsuit has not yet been served, its defendants — Burnett, CBS, Lee, Clarke and Newsted — "do not have an obligation" to answer it, Hecker said.

I was thinking the exact opposite!

Oh well. . .I must admit that while it was a terrible idea for Zayra to do the same song, she did it a bit better last night -- but she still should have gone home. It was obvious Jill had saved her ass even before the other 2 went.

I was able to watch the "mansion shows" at work yesterday (since I can't watch on dial-up at home). It makes the whole competition a lot more interesting. I actually started to feel a little sorry for Chris, seeing that he realized he had picked the wrong song with "Roxanne". The new arrangement seemed like a desperate necessity, as there was no way he could sing it the "original" way.

Eh, the order of voting off right now isn't a big deal. If not this week, the weak ones will go next soon. I'm more offended that a song like that Tonic song ever made it out of someone's bedroom and onto the radio (barf).

holy cheeerist.

they all suck.

and that's not a good thing. but maybe sucking is just what these supernova guys need.

why doesn't the band just find a lead singer and go out on their own? i guarantee they'd be 100x better than whatever-the-hell supernova will come up with.

Tommy Lee should just chainsaw his arms off at the head. He's irritating and ignorant.

$. Need I say more?

does anyone know if the auditions process began before they even had a band lined up? I am wondering if these guys had any say in who is on the show?

I'm not super impressed with anyone this year, last year's batch of folks were much more interesting and talented. In fact, I bet a lot of those people were more suited for Supernova than INXS.

Glad Chris got the boot. He doesn't quite have the chops to pull this off. If anything he reminds me of a too-smooth, second-stringer a group has to get when the big guy leaves. Why start out with a guy like that?

Frankly none of the women are going to get the job done. Dilana looks like she's either ready for Intervention or a repeat performance on Cops. That one guy with that Stevie Wonder type-melisma is good, I don't think he's right either...

i'm guessing they pulled people out of line at american idol competitions. hey...you look like a rocker.

i feel like i knew the performers better last year, with the "in-house" shows. the reality part. i need to watch the online ones.

zayra is awful. look, i know she's foreign, so that's obviously the reason why she does this... but she is too stilted in her singing. while phil can't enunciate worth crap, she enunciates TOO MUCH. every phrase is so stilted.

chris' tonic performance was actually good. but he has two big front teeth, and he was lisping through it.

i couldn't believe jill came out in that getup for the hole song. the band doesn't want courtney love as their lead singer. don't try to be courtney love.

newstead is really good on this show. he has legitimate things to say. tommy lee is a douche. like with lukas, newstead was legitmately trying to make him better. and tommy says "shut up." what a douche.

gilby seems a little overly critical, but at least he can form complete sentences, and sounds reasonably intelligent. tommy lee probably only has 2 brain cells left, maybe 3.

Considering Gilby's experience with lead singers, can you blame him?

ha ha, that's true.

ok, i'm watching the reality shows now, and right off the bat in the first show, it shows the band in the studio, jamming, with all the singers looking on. so it seems like they may have some idea as to what the band will sound like.

edit to add: then they all get a chance to lay down some vocals (that they came up with) on that track. chris volunteered first, and was decent. jill went, and did really well. then zayra went, and she was AWFUL. her lyrics were "This is the way we rock and roll, baby". gilby said he totally wasn't feeling it. everybody else was good. then ryan just decided he didn't want to sing. WTF? he said he wanted to differentiate himself. huh?

I think everyone there knows that Zayra, Jenny, Dana, and Ryan are the next to go, so why not keep Zayra around for a little while. I think she's reality TV gold!!!

I also agree with someone's early assumption that they've already picked a winner, and planted them on the show. I suspected that INXS did that with J.D. from the first episode. Final four for this season will be Toby, Lukas, Magni, and Dilana. I think Magni and his Icelandic band are already signed to a US contract on either Supernova's label, or one of the guy's in the band has a connection through their agent/management.

I agree with your final four and I don't know if I can deal with Dilana for that long.

Interesting. I'm a fan of the oiginal Supernova and have 3 of their albums. I was just remarking to my wife that it was off that I hadn't heard anything about them breaking up OR making a stink about some other band trying to steal their name.

I would have thought that the network would have made sure that the band's name wasn't an issue before televising the show.

How long until we hear that Dave and Brooke are together?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actress Carmen Electra and musician Dave Navarro are "amicably separating," Electra's publicist Brit Reece said Monday.

Reece would not elaborate on the reasons behind the split. Former Baywatch star Electra and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Navarro documented their 2003 wedding on MTV's Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave. The sexy pair met on a blind date, and "it was love at first sight," Electra told The Associated Press during an interview in 2004.

Navarro currently co-hosts the CBS talent competition Rock Star.

Didn't she split with her husband last season?
