Lenny Kravitz Joins ‘The Hunger Games’ Cast

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 24th, 2011

Lenny Kravitz has joined the cast of ‘The Hunger Games,’ reports Billboard.

Suzanne Collins’ best-selling trilogy will also star Jennifer Lawrence in the main role as Katniss Everdeen.

The plot revolves around the ‘Hunger Games,’ which are an annual televised event where the post-apocalyptic Panem chooses one boy and one girl from each district to fight to the death. The ‘Hunger Games’ are used to demonstrate that even children are not beyond the reach of the Capitol’s power.

The actor-musician will play Cinna, the fashion stylist assigned to Lawrence’s character as she prepares to take part in the Hunger Games. His fashion designs will reportedly play an integral role in her performance in the Games.

“When I saw Lenny’s work in ‘Precious,’ I was just knocked out,” director Gary Ross said. “It was quiet and strong and understated and open-hearted: all qualities which define this character.”

Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth also star in the movie, which Lionsgate is set to release March 23.

Kravitz was nominated for an NAACP Image Award and an ensemble SAG Award for his role in ‘Precious.’ He also has appeared in ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ and ‘Zoolander.’ He is set to release his ninth studio album, ‘Black and White America,’ on Aug. 30.

This movie sounds very cool, and with such an impressive cast, it just became twice as cool.

Michael Jackson’s Leaked Song Pulled by Sony Records

Posted by Emma Renda on January 4th, 2010

Michael Jackson almost released a new song today, before Sony Records got in the way.

Earlier today, a demo for a track called “Another Day” featuring Jackson and Lenny Kravitz leaked online today. It didn’t take long before Sony and Jackson’s estate took notice and are demanding the 90-second snippet be pulled from the Internet.

Although the song doesn’t audibly feature Kravitz, it does resemble a verse from his song “Storm” off his 2004 album Baptism. After Jackson’s death, Kravitz wrote a letter to Spinner describing his experience working with the King of Pop as they prepared a number of studio tracks for release.

“I got to work with Michael on a track that has not been released and it was the most amazing experience I’ve had in the studio. He was funny. Very funny and we laughed the whole time.”

Kravitz posted a video today claiming he has no idea how the leak occurred and that the song is not complete.

Lil Wayne’s Rebirth To Be Released December 15

Posted by Stephen Baldwin on November 10th, 2009

Lil' WayneUniversal has announced that Lil Wayne’s long overdue rock album, Rebirth, will be released on December 15th.

The announcement comes just a few weeks after the release of his new mixtape, No Ceilings, and a week after the release of Weezer’s Raditude album, on which he makes an appearance on the song Can’t Stop Partying. He told Billboard.com that he plans to maintain the consistent rock vibe that he intended.

“I play guitar on 80 percent of the songs, and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album.”

While working with two rock giants like Travis Barker and Rivers Cuomo should give Wayne the right idea, there is still no certainty about the outcome of this album. Based on the mild response generated by Prom Queen and Can’t Stop Partying, the anticipation will be filled with more curiousity than excitement.

Lenny Kravitz: ‘I Haven’t Had Sex In 3 Years’

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 24th, 2008

Lenny Kravitz will be touring Canada in March, but he won’t be making any groupies happy: he’s given up sex!

In an interview with Maxim Magazine, Kravitz claims to have been celibate for the last three years, and plans to remain so until wed.

“[It's] just a promise I made until I get married. Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.”

Kravitz divorced actress Lisa Bonet in 1991. He is also rumoured to have at one time proposed to Nicole Kidman.

Kravitz’s new album will be released in February.

Kravitz Kicks It Up A Notch At Grey Cup

Posted by andPOP Staff on November 26th, 2007

American rocker Lenny Kravitz brought fans to their feet at Canada’s biggest football event Sunday.

The 43-year-old singer rocked the game’s half-time show with a guitar-driven performance that left the Grey Cup crowd screaming for more.

Kravitz donned a black leather jacket and his trademark sunglasses while he belted out his popular cover of the Guess Who song, “American Woman” and the ’70s-inspired, “Are You Gonna Go My Way.

About 300 cheerleaders gathered around the stage, which was surrounded in white and rotating lights, TSN.ca reports.

The crowd was packed with contest winners and select ticket holders who watched the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by a score of 23-19.

“Canada, thank you,” TSN says Kravitz followed his three-song set with the shout-out to Canadian fans and a plug for his upcoming album, “It is Time for a Love Revolution.”

The rocker left the stage and the enthusiastic crowd with three words.

“Peace. Love. Revolution,” he said.

The audience would hear more from the musician after the performance.

“Tonight was amazing. I haven’t been to Canada in a while and what a welcome I got. An incredible crowd and event,” the stadium announcer read out loud in a statement from Kravitz.
