TV producer Mark Burnett is planning a rock version of Pop Idol in the US. Under the banner of Rock Star the show will audition budding rockers across America - and the prize is reportedly the opportunity to front a 'big name' group on a world tour. Which group is yet to be revealed. Initial gossip said it might be Van Halen, who are looking for a lead singer, but more recent rumour suggests it may be INXS.
