Alert to Fox:  You may have the market cornered on aspiring pop stars, but CBS is hoping to make a name for themselves in the ROCK star division.  Following the relative success of their first attempt, CBS is ready to start the audition process for the 2nd season of their show, Rock Star.  Those who saw J.D. Fortune become INXS’s lead singer last season—replacing the deceased Michael Hutchence—know that the band has had a slight resurgence, and almost sold-out tour, since the show ended.  So is it possible that success can strike twice?  Who knows?  As things stand right now, it is not even known which band contestants will be vying to be part of. 

For those who want to chance their luck:  Auditions begin March 1 in Austin, Texas, and will be held throughout March in Boston, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Toronto, Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver and Los Angeles.
