seems like supernova will have to go on tour under another name..

"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.

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."

Tommy Lee can come crying on my shoulder

i love the show to death! it’s my all-time favorite entertainment show. but somehow, i don’t always pick the winner. like last season, i really really liked marty casey who ended up second to jd. but marty’s style was, well, also not really inxs. this season, i’m suddenly so crazy over tommy lee. my god, he’s so hot! but picking lucas? yikes.

where were you on 911? i was at home totally clueless when i received a text message to pray for thanks because my tito and his then new wife missed, by just one elevator ride, being one of the 3,000plus who died…they were on the first floor waiting for the elevator to take them up to the observatory when the first plane hit the tower. they ran along with the others outside, stepping on plane wreckage and debris… miracles do happen. it’s an amazing story, really. amazing enough that you can read about their story in today’s sunstar issue on page 4..:) or you can check out sunstar.com.ph provincial news cebu… (of course, it also helped that my cousin’s a sunstar staff reporter..hehe)
