Van Halen Won't Be Signing Up for Rock Star Show 10/23/05

Rockers Van Halen have ruled themselves out of the sequel to hit US reality series Rock Star: INXS, insisting they were never involved in the project.

The Jump hit makers were touted as the group to follow INXS in looking for a singer on a TV talent contest - but Eddie Van Halen insists it isn't something they'd be interested in, even though the super group is currently without a front man.

Singer-less grunge rockers Alice in Chains are reportedly the name high on producers' wish lists to feature in Rock Star 2, but a spokesman for the group insists they're not interested either. The Them Bones hit makers lost their singer Layne Staley to a drug overdose in 2002.
