Houstonian to compete for Rock Star status

Sara Cress of the Chronicle's HandStamp Blog points out that a Houstonian will compete in the new season of Rock Star: Supernova on CBS:
Houstonian Dilana Robichaux, who has thus far been relegated to singing in Houston's suburban restaurants and dive bars (though her bio on the Rock Star site points out that she is huge in the Netherlands), will be among the contestants. Another more recognizable name is Patrice Pike, a well-known Austin songwriter who has spent many a night performing in Houston clubs.
Last season INXS looked for a new singer. This time it's a brand new "supergroup" (not the VH! show) comprised of Motley Crue's Tommy Lee, former Guns N' Roses Izzy Stradlin replacement Gilby Clarke and former Metallica bassist Jason Newstead.

Looks like former Jane's Addiction/Red Hot Chili Pepper's axe man Dave Navarro will host again.

I might actually watch this season. I totally missed the INXS show. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
