Lenny Kravitz Responds To Rash Of Leaked Nude Photos The Only Way He Knows How
First, there was Cassie; then, there might have been Rihanna; and then there was an even bigger topless-photo leak. So it was probably only a matter of time before master deriver Lenny Kravitz decided to get in on the act with an “arty” shot of him in the shower, no?

MJ: “Man, Justice remixing Lenny Kravitz is like … two decades of vapidity coming together and forming one gigantic black hole.” CM: “No way is Justice as bankrupt as Kravitz–vapid, yes, but a different kind of vapid.” MJ: “Well, Lenny has had a 15-year head start!

Is Lenny Kravitz Really Going To Fill Weiland’s Velvet Shoes?
Like the Timex Social Club, I spend a lot of time lamenting the rumors that surround me every day. How do they get started? And where do they get crazy? In Truthmongerer, I’ll try to suss out the kernels of truth in the rumors that are taking up airspace in gossip columns, blogs, and our tips inbox.
THE RUMOR: The new lead singer of Velvet Revolver is none other than Lenny Kravitz.
TRUTH THRESHOLD: 38%.
Lenny Kravitz Will Not Be Going Velvet Revolver’s Way
The truth quotient of the rumor that Lenny Kravitz would be replacing Weiland as the lead singer of Velvet Revolver has plummeted from 38% to zero, if Kravitz’s just-issued statement to Rolling Stone is to be believed. “I know and love the Velvet Revolver guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band,” he told the magazine. Looks like bloggers everywhere will have this story to kick around for a little longer! But where will it go next?
Lenny Kravitz, Spiritualized Unite For European Gigs
One guy makes bombastic songs out of ’60s catchphrases, the other makes bombastic songs out of ’60s catchphrases. So it makes perfect sense that Lenny Kravitz would have Jason Pierce’s Spiritualized open some gigs for him in Helsinki (June 7 & 8) and Estonia (June 10). Sadly, there’s no reason to believe that this coming together will occur again in England or America, where some fans of Spiritualized might find the headliner less than respectable. But would you snootypantses recognize a Spiritualized track over one of Lenny’s based on title alone? Here’s your chance to prove you can!
Lenny Kravitz Wants To Give You A Ride
Judging by the plodding ballad he premiered on the American Music Awards (you know you’re in trouble when your lighting design is the most memorable thing about your performance), Lenny Kravitz is going to need as much help as he can to promote his upcoming album It Is Time For A Love Revolution, and his record label has come up with an “innovative promotional campaign” that sounds an awful lot like the set up to a porno.
