In The Dumps

Lenny Kravitz has been hospitalized!

The rocker was taken in for treatment in our hometown of Miami.

According to his spokesperson, he is suffering from severe bronchitis.

Kravitz had been suffering from a series of severe respiratory tract infections coupled with the flu since mid-January, and the illness has evolved into bronchitis. Doctors apparently were not able to control his illness with outpatient treatment and he was advised by professionals to check into a hospital.

His estimated length of stay was not released.

Lenny's illness forced him to postpone a European promotion tour for his album It Is Time For a Love Revolution, which was released last week.

First Dolly. Now Lenny.

Hospitalizations and canceling promo tours are the latest publicity stunt!

Dear Lenny,

Remember in New York on New Year's. You were lipsynching and the music cut out and you looked like such an ass. Remember how hillarious it was when the crowd started shouting "Milly Vanilli" and you ran off stage with your jacket over your head and your like 30 members of your entourage followed you. I never got the chance to thank you for such a good laugh. Is it possible you had the flu then too LOL…Wink Wink Mr. Lipsyncher!

Can anyone say Bullshit. I am not believing that bullshit story. I have had bronchitis twice in my life and I never had to be hospitalized
FACT or FICTION says – reply to this

26

There are rumors circulating that he is depressed because his alleged girlfriend Katherine Moennig of the L Word broke up with him and broke his heart. I don't know if this is true, but that is what I heard on a website.

Re: FACT or FICTION – Katherine Moennig is way too hot for Lenny. She's allegedly a lesbian, so I doubt that is true.
Say what? says – reply to this

30

I just googled Katherine Moennig to see what the b*tch looks like and she looks like a young Mick Jagger but not hot at all for a woman. Oh so he goes for the androgynous look? She is not hot at all and probably is bi. He needs a beautiful black woman like me. I'm available. DAYUM BOIIII!

Lenny is obviously half white. He doesn't act black nor represent black. He's very edgy. He's hot. Modern Hendrix. He has talent and can play guitar better than most people.

Black women are jealous of white women. It goes back to the time of slavery. They are racist and hate white women. I have seen many in action. They are off the hook triflin hoes. Shake dat ass like whoa!

36

Lenny doesn't like black women because of how they are towards each other. I have seen groups of black women at clubs fighting over the stupid things. They are jealous of each other. Black women especially hate the mixed black women. It's sick. They are racist.

Re: i dont kno why i get so upset by what people post on here sometimes – You support racists and homophobes. You should be proud of yourself. Let me guess, you are black.

Re: Lenny Kravitz is HOT – Since you seem to be putting yourself out there as an AUTHORITY ON BLACK…
First of all-no one knew Lenny Kravitz was bi-racial until HE TOLD IT. Halle Berry's mother TOLD her she would be a black woman in the eyes of the public…she HAD TO TELL PEOPLE she was bi-racial or no one would have known. Who the phuck do you think you are saying someone does or doesn't ACT or REPRESENT BLACK? You represent pure IGNORANCE saying something stupid like that! How does one ACT BLACK? How would one REPRESENT BLACK? How the phuck would you know?Take a trip to Burlington, NC where there are BLACK people who have blue eyes and straight sandy blond hair. Unless you ask you'd assume they are white and if you're ignorant enough to ask well….tell those people who and what they represent and see what color you are when you leave. Black and blue will be a new race.
I hope you only put that shit on the net cause it you ever slip up in the real world you WILL get your onion busted thinking something that idiotic.

OMG!!! Lenny Kravitz's mother, was about as black as midnight and his father was about as white as a lily so…I THINK HE REPRESENTS EVERYONE. He has dated, married and fathered a child with a BLACK woman and dated ALL races of women. So what? He's well rounded! Unless you know him personally and heard him say he doesn't like black women…STFU and stop pretending you know something you don't! He likes what he likes (as we all do)-CELIBATE means he's not feeling or dealing with women without substance and that has little to do with race. Shallow bitches are EVERYWHERE. When he choses a partner it will be based on his preference (it won't be anyone here). Skin comes in all colors. Human is the RACE. Get a clue or get left behind. The world is going on without you and your ignorant view- be best to just keep that in your head. If it really matters TO YOU that much just date WITHIN YOUR RACE, mind your manners and miss out on the fun of finding out how much alike we all are and how little it matters when you're in love!

Re: Tired of Racists – I'm black and I'd like to know…what is an AFRICAN SOUTHERN BAPTIST? Literally, this would be: an African immigrant who worships at a Baptist Church in the South. To you, however, it seems to have a more specific meaning and you even go on to throw out some expectations. Well by all means…Please… tell us where were you going with that comment Miss Tired of Racists? When will you get tired of yourself? Check it at the door…If your tired of racists…try not writing things that are borne of that attitude. It's pretty obvious you are not black and you're showing so much love right now it's hard to believe you're REALLY tired of being your RACIST self.

say what? says – reply to this

60

First of all I am not a racist. I am multiracial myself. All I said was that Lenny needed a beautiful black woman like me who can give him the attention he deserves and needs. I did not say K. Moennig was not hot because she is white. It is because she looks like a boy. I am also not a homophobe. All I am saying is that if she is bi she wasn't right for Lenny. If she is interested in women that's why they probably broke up. DUH! Get a clue. Some of you folks are DAFT! PEACE OUT!

Which you all did a really good job at.
Did you come here to defend? Or talk about Lenny Kravitz being sick.

I don't care if she's gay and I am not homophobic but I just saw a picture of K. Moennig with Paris Hilton. Katherine was wearing a grey felt man's hat with her hair hanging under it like Pete Wentz. I kid you not. The article said she and Paris were dancing close. I hope he does not get back with her. He will catch HERPES! He is WAY TOO HOT FOR HER! I LOVE YOU LENNY! DAYUM BOIIIII!!!!

Because flu activity is on the rise throughout the U.S., CDC recommends that people get vaccinated if they haven’t done so already this season. In addition, to stop germs from spreading, take everyday preventive actions including frequent hand washing and covering coughs and sneezes. If you get the flu, take antiviral drugs if your doctor says you need them. For more information on influenza and protecting against it, visit CDC’s www.myFluNews.com

I am LMAO at the comment about religion because it's true. I am a southern Baptist but I apologize if I came across like I am homophobic or racist because I am not at all. I just love Lenny and feel sorry for him if he is pining away over a woman who is bi/gay. She is always going to break his heart. He's too HOT for her! He needs a woman who will pamper him like a king. ME ME ME ME!!!!! ALL YOU SAY WHAT HATERS KEEP HATING!!!! LOLOLOLOL

He is one of my favorites to see live and I don't know about his show in NYC, but I have seen Lenny live so many times on the front row and even once at a private thing he did for @ 100 people and he has a beautiful voice and always sang live. He is totally cool and nice and I hope he gets well soon! Feel better Lenny! Man I wish I would have gone to nursing school now!
