Jump The Shark?: Rock Star In Negotiations To Find New Frontman For... Van Halen!!!

The guy they pick will undoubtedly turn out better than the guy from Exxxtreme. (Although Rest in Peace (aka Make Love, Not War) rocks.)

CBS brings back its successful Rock Star: INXS for a second season, rumor has it the next band in line is California's Van Halen.
This summer's inaugural season was a ratings winner for CBS and a reputation enhancer for reality TV producer Mark Burnett -- and it gave INXS a new singer, a new hit single, an upcoming album and a world tour.

CBS has remained hush-hush on whether Rock Star will return next summer, but MTV reports if it does, look for Eddie and Alex Van Halen along with bassist Michael Anthony in the judges' chairs originally filed by INXS.

Oh happy day.

Now let's hear you jackasses knock the show for featuring a "has-been" band.

Okay, so they are a little has-been. But they're, you know, f'n' Van Halen, aren't they?

Can't wait -- CANNOT wait -- for Rock Star: Blind Melon.

Thanks to Dr. Reo Symes.

Thanks to zetetic for the correction on the "Rest in Peace" title.
