Thanks again for providing...you have given insight into the show that wouldn't have been allowed without you! I appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Yes, Dilana chose that song. I hope I didn't spoil it. I'll go back and edit my post. I can't believe she passed up Wish You Were Here. I think she did it just to f*ck with Lukas.

Ooh, yeah, she did. She gets him to give in, then picks something completely different. Nice.

I hope her song isn't as bad as the house band thinks it will be.

Judge Sides With Original Supernova In 'Rock Star' Suit

David has defeated Goliath.

According to a Tuesday (September 12) ruling by San Diego Judge John Houston, the producers of CBS' "Rock Star" are going to have to come up with an alternate name for Supernova, the band made up of Motley Crüe's Tommy Lee, Voivod's Jason Newsted and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke.

Last month, the original Supernova — an Orange County, California, punk trio — filed for a preliminary injunction in San Diego's U.S. District Court against CBS Broadcasting, Mark Burnett Productions and Lee, Newsted and Clarke, who are starring in the second season of the reality show. The injunction sought to halt the television-contrived act from performing or recording under the name "Supernova" if the band fails to change or add any words to the moniker.

Lee, Newsted and Clarke were dropped as defendants late last month at the request of the original Supernova's lawyers (see "Supernova File Injunction Against Tommy Lee's 'Rock Star: Supernova' ").

Earlier Tuesday, Houston granted the request from the members of the original Supernova — bassist Art Mitchell, drummer Dave Collins and guitarist Jodey Lawrence — for the preliminary injunction. The injunction keeps the producers of "Rock Star: Supernova" — which concludes Wednesday night — from "performing rock and roll music, or recording, or selling rock and roll music recordings under the same [name], pending a trial of this action on its merits, or until otherwise ordered by the court."

The original Supernova — which formed in 1989 and released four studio LPs — first filed suit against the show's producers in late June (see "Supernova Sue 'Rock Star: Supernova' Producers, Bandmembers"). The filing alleged trademark infringement and sought a jury trial, as well as the eradication of all "labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, containers, advertisements, electronic media and other materials bearing the Supernova mark."

Supernova are perhaps best known for their tune "Chewbacca," which appeared on the soundtrack to Kevin Smith's 1994 film "Clerks." When the group discovered the show's producers' intentions to use Supernova as the name for their supergroup, the band contacted them; negotiations between both sides followed on the heels of the suit's filing. Those talks hit a wall last month, forcing the band to take additional legal action to protect its rights.

The suit insisted that the "Rock Star" producers willfully ignored the fact that the Supernova moniker was unavailable and that "individuals within defendants' own organizations informed defendants of plaintiff's rights in the Supernova mark." Using the Supernova name would cut into the original band's future earnings, as it would interfere "with plaintiff's business relationships" or cause the band to lose merchandising deals and potential offers to perform, according to the suit. The filing also suggested that some fans of the band might be confused and therefore duped into buying the new Supernova's merchandise and music.

In his ruling, Houston acknowledged that "the marks are identical, the parties operate in very similar or identical markets, the Supernova is distinctive and therefore strong, and there is evidence of actual confusion in the market." Houston further noted that "irreparable harm [to the original Supernova] is presumed" and added that "defendants access to [a] large amount of monetary and promotional resources will effectively diminish, if not eliminate, [the original Supernova's] commercial presence in the marketplace."

The decision, in short, bars the CBS-created rockers from touring, recording and selling merchandise as "Supernova" once the order takes effect. First, the original Supernova must post bond, the amount of which has yet to be determined by the court.

The "Rock Star" band will launch an American tour December 31 in Las Vegas, with dates scheduled through February 27 in Long Beach, California. The Panic Channel, the band featuring "Rock Star: Supernova" co-host and former Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, has been tapped to open on all the trek's dates (see "Dave Navarro Juggles TV And Guitar, Shrugs Off Panic Channel Sales"

and as for tonights show...

Stevie needs to borrow the boots Dilana wore tonight.

JazmenFlowers · #**486** 09-13-2006, 08:54 AM

last night was the first show I completely ignored while watching it - boring.

skcin · #**487** 09-13-2006, 09:33 AM

Very dull. Except for Paula Abdul being there.

WTF?

I did like:

*Dilana's "Roxanne" with the guys singing backup harmony. Pretty cool.

I liked her original a lot more this time around, and I loved that she was singing to Dave & then the back audience.

*Toby's original. It's just a catchy friggin' tune, what can I say?

Magni on guitar was cool to see, they interacted well tog ther.

*Magni rocked "Hush" but I don't think he stands a chance against the others.

*Lukas. I'm not a fan of Headspin.

And to hear it for a third time, well, it didn't change my opinion of it.

Al in all - they all did a good job, but nothing truly great. I'm really not sure who will win, but I think it's between Toby & Dilana.

You're kidding, you don't like Headspin? It's the only original song I like and I liked that slower version too. Lukas says it's about his mom and him and every time I hear it I think of Dean (my 16 year old son) singing that about me

I was rather hoping she wouldn't do the stripped down version of that song...but she did sound good. I missed all of Toby...as Jazzy mentioned I was half ignoring the show. ITA Toby or D...I do like Magni and Lukas though too...

JazmenFlowers · #**490** 09-13-2006, 10:05 AM

here's what I'm thinking...

4th: Lukas - I'm not sure he could actually front the band. and I don't know that his "look" is well-suited for the band either.

3rd: Magni - not much stage presence and I think the band would drown in a sea of band just like the one that Magni would make them.

2nd: Dilana - a great stage persona, great vocal skills, but I really think her style is quite different than that of the band.

Win: Toby - he's got killer looks, killer moves and a killer voice. he's the only one that I think can really hang, vocally, that is. and he's got such a sexy vibe.

That's kind of why I don't like it. It's too "teen angst" for me. He strikes me as a young kid lately (which he is) as opposed to the leader of a brock band.

Possible spoiler:

Oh ****! Sorry, I forgot. Hello, anyone from the east coast? The show was all screwed up. It started out with Brooke in the same dress as last nite, showed highlites from the whole season, went to a commercial, came back in the middle of Toby' performance, Lukas and Dilanna had already performed and Magni was gone. I thought it started at 8:00, was it 7:00?
