The second season of CBS's reality TV show, Rock Star may be in for a name change.
Next month, Rockstar: Supernova will debut with Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee, ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke banding together to find a lead singer for their new supergroup. But the show's producers have run into a little snag: a band named Supernova already exists.
The Orange County, California punk trio, best known for their song "Chewbacca," are considering taking legal action against the show for pilfering the band's name.
"You can't just waltz up and use our name," drummer Dave Collins, who moonlights as a lawyer, told MTV.com. "We're willing to fight for our name, our band. We have trademark rights to the name and we can prove those rights."
The members of Supernova met with Rock Star producers two weeks ago and hope to schedule another meeting this week in hopes of finding a resolution.

Katti - 7/12/2006 11:59:13 PM Well I was a bit disappointed that Chris was eliminated tonight... not that I am a fan of his but I think he deserved another week. Zahara or however you spell her nam.. I did not care for... I think she syunk and want her out.
I think the whole thing is going to be up between Dilana, Lukas, and Toby, they have been the only ones who have really grabbed my attention so far.
loujean - 7/12/2006 6:22:16 PM I AM NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE WANTTING...I THOUGHT CHRIS WAS REALLY GOOD.---BUT I'M 42 AND I'M SORRY I JUST DONT GET TOMMY LEE----THE CHRITISISM--IS PRETTY BAD..----I KNOW SOME OF THEM REALLY SUCK..BUT HEY...COULD WE ALL DO ANY BETTER---not...that takes allot of strength to do that.---i just really...really enjoyed last years show with insinc....i'm not real thrilled with this years with Tommy Lee....---(to much bashing on the singers...LIGHTEN UP GUYS!

skullbasher - 7/8/2006 10:51:07 AM Imagine the low life scumbag who scrambled like a fucking Monkey to produce this shit while the format is HOT and "what everyones watching." A stroker for sure. More like a farmer feeding shit to the sheep and you line up for the feeding. Shit eating sheep....
headbangingbtch - 7/8/2006 9:29:32 AM In my opinion 6 of the contestants can sing,they did vote off the wrong guy,the fag who sang the cult of personality song was a freakin joke.so far i think dilana is the best fit,she's freakin bad
rock_2_thrash - 7/7/2006 11:39:05 PM I second the comments raised by bluegalaxie/Avengerkillerof...HUH? all contestants was shitt man.Last time rockstar...they were flawless except for the first 2-3 who got out.In this series,,,even fuckin dave looks totally bored too and I'll never forgive him sayin about one contestant that he was off pitch in some parts which is ok for Rock'n'roll.Hey metal(rockers), do you like ur vocalist to be pitchy sometimes.??
Only savin grace of the show I guess is Brooke :)
The only interested guy in the band was I guess Gilby Clarke..and he was damm right to say that guy sucked.Hell you sucked dude...
The only guy worthy was the last punker.
Ryan you totally ruined IRIS.Hell i could ve sung the song better than him( He looks pathetic ...a ploy for sympathy...)
Oooff the mexican gal....vocals was given a nother definition...
THe only good thing whihc has carried over from the last time show is that they have retained the same stage band."cause of them only the contestant appear good.
Blobber - 7/7/2006 6:54:12 PM The dude from Iceland needs to go home. The Rebel yell guy will get the gig 'cuase he's a freak. In the ned, this "project" will pass like a beer fart on a windy day.
alkoholyk - 7/7/2006 4:22:05 PM the little blond who sang janis joplin was hot!
Pamela_larubia - 7/7/2006 4:16:25 PM I came across the show by accident............it wasn't that bad. I thought a couple of the girls sang really well. Tommy Lee has seen a better day, that is for sure!
Avengerkillerof - 7/7/2006 3:32:57 PM Last parting shot...why did I keep hearing the Oompa Loompa song every time the "Rebel Yell" guy appeared on the screen?
