TOMMY LEE, FRIENDS OUT TO FIND A 'ROCK STAR'

Tommy Lee leaves a news conference outside of Tokyo, November 19, 2005.

Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and one-time Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke have formed a new band called Supernova, and will use a CBS reality show to find a singer.

The series, carrying the working title of "Rock Star," will premiere this summer. Once a singer has been selected, Supernova will record an album for release in the fall. A world tour will follow in early 2007.

Last fall, "Rock Star" debuted to low ratings as a talent search for a new INXS frontman. With winner J.D. Fortune in tow, the Australian group has revived its career with a new album, "Switch," and an extensive tour. INXS will return to the road April 21 in Memphis.
