| Lenny Kravitz GOES SHIRTLESS For "INTERVIEW" Magazine's March 2012 Issue Posted: 09 Mar 2012 07:27 AM PST  Lenny Kravtiz was interviewed by Raphael Saadiq in the latest issue of "INTERVIEW" Magazine. See highlights from their conversation inside... Lenny Kravtiz has always been a trendsetter when it comes to music, and now he's making moves in Hollywood. In the latest issue of "INTERVIEW" Magazine, Lenny gets interviewed by musician Raphael Saadiq and they talk about his roles in both Precious and Hunger Games. Here are the highlights.....
RAPHAEL SAADIQ: So how did you wind up in Hunger Games? LENNY KRAVITZ: Gary [Ross] saw Precious and said that he liked the character of Nurse John, so he thought I’d be right for the role in Hunger Games since Cinna is somebody who is looking out for somebody and is a support figure, too. So he called me down here in the Bahamas— I was actually making the album at the time. He said, “Hi, I’m making this movie called The Hunger Games. I think you’d be great. If you want it, you’ve got the part.” No audition. I was really flattered, but I had not read the book. So I downloaded it. I remember I started it late one night and I needed to go to bed—I was tired and had been recording all day and night—but I couldn’t stop reading because I was captured by the story. So I finished the book and called him back and said, “I’d love to do it.” You know, the film definitely represents these times—from government on down to reality television. It’s interesting that we’re living in these times. Really, when you go back to being in junior high school and reading George Orwell’s 1984, you’re, like, “Man, here were are . . .” Our characters have changed, our sensibilities. We’re definitely morphing into something different. SAADIQ: Do you think anything like The Hunger Games could ever actually happen? KRAVITZ: You know what’s funny? A lot of reality television started in Europe—things like Big Brother, where you had random people living in a house together and all this stuff started happening. And then you had all the gladiator stuff and the competitions. I remember saying, “One day we’re going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we’re going to watch it on TV .” It sounds like a really far-fetched and politically incorrect statement at this point, but who knows how twisted we’re going to get? Because our appetite grows, our thirst for excitement . . . So who knows in the next 50 years where we’re gonna go? Hopefully we’ll go somewhere smarter and more beautiful and more peaceful, but that’s not where we’re headed at the moment. Things that would shock us years ago are like nothing now.

| VIDEO FAB: Chris Brown RELEASES "How I Feel" Video + Usher's "Climax" Video Posted: 09 Mar 2012 06:47 AM PST  Chris Brown (recently spotted clubbing with Karrueche Tran) has dropped a visual for his "How I Feel" single. Watch the clip inside and see the video for Usher's "Climax" as well. Last night, Chris Brown was spotted leaving Tru Nightclub with his girlfriend Karrueche. The pair may have been celebrating the release of his latest music clip "How I Feel" which "might" appear on his Fortune disc.
Watch "How I Feel" here: Also in music...... Usher has released the video for his Diplo-produced track "Climax." Talking about the song, he said, "It's odd that people view 'Climax' as a sexual song. It's not. It's not even about sex. It's really about the ultimate experience or finale of an experience of love and life." Watch it above. Photos via PacificCoastNews.com  |
| Eddie George CLAIMS Rachel Connor SIMPLY Offered Him A Ride, They Are Not FOOLING AROUND Posted: 09 Mar 2012 05:30 AM PST  Eddie George is on the defensive this week denying an affair with pro golfer Rachel Connor and defending his marriage to SWV's Taj. Get his side of the story inside... Just because you are riding home with someone (who's not your wife) at 2am doesn't mean there is any hanky panky going on...at least that is what retired NFL superstar Eddie George says. After he was found in the passenger seat of pro golfer Rachel Connor, who was busted for a DUI, Eddie is now defending their friendship AND his marriage. He told TMZ that Rachel (shown above to his left) was "simply trying to be nice by offering me a ride" Wednesday morning after a golf event in Florida. And about he being drunk, Eddie claims, "I believed her to be competent to drive and not impaired at all." Clearly the cops disagreed....but what do they know? Here's Eddie's statement....
"After dinner, as everyone left the restaurant together, we realized that Rachel lived the closest to where I was staying. So she offered to drop me off. I believed her to be competent to drive and not impaired at all. We were stopped shortly after we left." "At first, I hesitated to respond to this story. But I now see that people are willing to think the worst. So my wife, Tamara , and I believe we have to address this." "Rachel Connor was simply trying to be nice by offering me a ride. No one in our group felt she was impaired or we all would have stopped her from driving."
If Taj is cool with the situation, what do they rest of us have to say? She's the one who had to "Co-Sign" for his love.  |
