In 2005, Navarro began serving as co-host of the reality TV show Rock Star: INXS, alongside Brooke Burke. During the competition to determine a new lead vocalist for INXS, the exposure and success of the show made Navarro's name much better known among mainstream music fans. Navarro returned to work on a new season of Rock Star called Rock Star: Supernova, which premiered in North America on July 5, 2006 and ended on September 13, 2006. They are forming the band Supernova which features Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses) on guitar, Jason Newsted (ex-Metallica) on bass and Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe on drums with the lead singer, Lukas Rossi, having been selected at the end of the show's run. On the final episode, he committed to working with Rockstar: Supernova Runner-up Storm Large on her upcoming album.

"We're getting a great hard rock band with a female vocalist to score the movie," Navarro said. "They do everything from super-heavy, hard metal to really ambient, hypnotic trance-electronic music. They cover a wide spectrum of emotion, much as the film does from scene to scene. Within the theme of female empowerment, to have a female vocalist fronting such a heavy band is appropriate."

After the band completed the promotional tour in support of the album, Navarro stated that he wanted to focus on his upcoming solo project, Spread (which included the Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith), and was not interested in recording and touring. A planned EP by Spread, to be titled Rhimorse, and an album Unicorns & Rainbows: The Pelican, were rejected by Warner Bros. and after several attempts to find a record label, were left unreleased.[2]
