Rock Star: Supernova starts next week, Wednesday, July 5th at 8PM ET/PT. The 90-minute premiere will introduce viewers to the new band called Supernova, featuring Tommy Lee from Motley Crue, a former Metallica guitarist and former Guns N’Roses guitarist. Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke return for a second go-around of the reality talent show that pits fifteen singers against each other for the coveted lead singer slot. If this is as good as last year’s season, it’s sure to be much cooler than America’s Got Talent. I jumped on the bandwagon a bit late for the INXS run, but it was refreshing to see talented people that weren’t trying to fit the pop mold of American Idol.

The second episode will air on Thursday, July 6th, following the Big Brother 7: All-Stars premiere, so get comfy on that couch – it’s a big night o’ reality TV! (To further complicate things, Rock Star will then air Tuesdays at 9PM and Wednesdays at 8PM.)
