After a summer-long audition, the Rockstar band formerly known as Supernova finally chose a singer tonight: Lukas Rossi. It wasn't a surprise that Magni was the first of the final four to go. Though he performed his blistering rendition of "Fire" again, American audiences never really connected with the man from Iceland. We were a little more surpised that likeable Aussie beefcake Toby got booted next. So it came down to Dilana and Lukas......

There were more signs that Rockstar: Supernova is becoming as cheesy as American Idol. First, fans voted and brought back kicked off rocker Ryan Star to sing his original -- and very romantic -- song "Back of Your Car." For his trouble, Ryan won a new, fully loaded Honda CRV. Hostess Brooke Burke then had to channel her inner Bob Barker to explain all the car's features since it was just sitting there in......

Rockstar: Supernova took a wrong turn down American Idol alley tonight, taping the arrival of the singers in their tricked out Honda Elements. We'll take solace that at least they didn't air commercials of the rockers riding the Elements through Hollywood like AI contestants did with the Ford Focus. So they didn't cheese out entirely. But there is one more show left.. All five of the finalists were in the bottom three at some......

What's up with all the Dilana bashing on Rockstar: Supernova lately? Sure, she might be the new drama queen now that Zayra's gone (read last week's entry about cutting Magni in the head), but no one can deny that the girl can sing. First, the house band leader mocked her re-arrangement of her first song; and nice guy guitarist Gilby Clarke bashed on her songwriting abilities even before she kicked off last night's show.......

Ryan Star, the "darkhorse" of the Supernova singing competition, has sung his last note for Tommy Lee and the boys. While the band members agreed that Ryan was the performer who's shown the most growth throughout the season, they felt he wasn't right for the band and let him go. Most of the audience and contestants were in shock, since Storm Large's performance shouting of "Helter Skelter" was pretty much unbearable. Now we're not......

We’ll skip most of the Dilana drama that was used as filler at the beginning of Supernova. So what if she dissed a few folks she’s competing against? BFD. Isn’t that what reality TV and rock’n’roll are all about? And so she shattered a glass and a piece flew up and cut Magni in the head, they’ve all kissed and made up. Let’s move on to the music, which was picked out by the......

LAist managed to stop crying for a few minutes last night (over our girl Zayra’s shocking departure last week) to tune into the latest episode of Rockstar: Supernova. So Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted are continuing their search for a singer to front their band. Here’s what we got left: Storm Large (yes, again, that’s the name she uses): Good singer, but a little too karaoke for our taste. She’s definitely the......

Dear Zayra, LAist wanted to drop you a line and apologize for the Zayra hating we've done over the past few weeks. Dilana doesn't hold a candle to you. We'd like to say that we were wrong about your take on "All the Young Dudes" and "867-5309/Jenny". We admit that we were a bit jealous of your fashion sense. We absolutely loved, loved, loved your outfits. Especially the trapeze artist/cape thingy. Last night, girl,......

For the past few weeks, Supernova – a new group pieced together from Motley Crue (Tommy Lee), Metallica (Jason Newsted) and Guns N' Roses (Gilby Clarke) – has been auditioning lead singers on CBS, and some are quite good like Dilana, Josh and Storm. But then there’s Zayra. Zayra Alvarez is a hot-blooded and, at times, a hot-tempered chica, who’s not averse to giving lip to her would-be bosses. We think she’s even mentioned......
