Thank goodness Alice in Chains didn't go for this crock!

Forget about Van Halen or Alice in Chains. The latest act auditioning singers on CBS' Rock Star technically doesn't even exist yet. And that's the way producers like it.

For the talent contest's second season, the network is offering the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for wannabe J.D. Fortunes to join Supernova, a new band composed of Motley Crue drummer
Tommy Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist
Gilby Clarke.

In case you missed it, Fortune was the Canadian crooner who was tapped to be the new face of INXS on Rock Star's inaugural run last year and has since collaborated with the Aussie rockers on their new album, Switch, fronted a sold-out tour and helped them to a career revival.

BTW, here's something I would watch - if they had an 'Rock Star' where instead of looking for a lead singer they audition guitar players. I think that would actually be worth watching!

1. I'd go with John Oates, or Art Garfunkel, or Andrew Ridgely

Any number of B-list talent would kill to be in a "supergroup" with these three talentless has-beens.

2. Isn't Tommy back together with Mötley Crüe?

:shrug:

3. Did I not get the memo about the new definition of "super"?

Just wondering.
