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
