Lenny Kravitz has denied reports he’s set to join supergroup Velvet Revolver.

The Let Love Rule singer fuelled speculation he’ll be Scott Weiland’s replacement in the band after he joined Slash and his mates in the studio.

But Kravitz won’t be fronting Velvet Revolver any time soon.

He tells RollingStone.com, “I know and love the Velvet Revolver guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band.”

Kravitz isn’t the only singer linked to the band - former Skid Row star Sebastian Bach and Spacehog’s Royston Langdon have also been named as possible Weiland replacements.

Weiland was kicked out of the band in April after fighting with his bandmates.

Lenny Kravitz has denied rumors he is having an affair with the wife of baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

Rodriguez’s relationship with his wife Cynthia has been at the centre of mounting speculation following rumors of infidelity.

And when Kravitz was seen accompanying the New York Yankees star’s wife during a recent stay in Paris, France, gossips suggested the pair was involved in a secret romance.

But the rocker insists the relationship is purely platonic.

He tells Us Weekly, “There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself. This is unequivocally one hundred per cent not true. Cynthia is a friend and (she) is here with the godfather of her baby, who is Alex’s trainer, his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a friend.”

Alex Rodriguez hit the headlines earlier this week after he was linked romantically to Madonna, following reports she was set to divorce her director husband Guy Ritchie. Those rumors have also been denied by Madonna’s representatives.

Rocker Lenny Kravitz was taken to a Miami hospital on Monday suffering from an extreme case of Bronchitis, a spokesperson for the singer said.

The 43-year old singer had been suffering from a series of severe respiratory tract infections stemming from the flu since mid-january, and the illness evolved into bronchitis.

In a statement obtained by the A.P., the spokeswoman said, “Due to extreme dehydration and fatigue, doctors were unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the singer to check into the hospital. He was taken this morning to the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami for immediate treatment.”

Details on Kravitz’ condition and his expected stay were not immediately available, however his illness forced him to postpone a trip to Europe, where he was set to promote his new album It Is Time For a Love Revolution, which was released last week.

Lenny Kravitz’ new album lifts the lid on his rift with his late father, Sy. The singer left the family home when he was just 15-years-old because he couldn’t bear to watch his father regularly cheat on his mother.

He says, “We never saw eye to eye and I moved out when I was 15. I was a mama’s boy, and his infidelities were something I took personally.” The pair met and reconciled shortly before Sy died in 2005. In new track A Long and Sad Goodbye - from Kravitz’ latest album It is Time for a Love Revolution - he sings, “Papa why did you turn your back? Why didn’t you stay on track?”

Lenny Kravitz has said that he has a hard time staying faithful to women. He has been linked to stars Adriana Lima, Natalie Imbruglia, Kylie Minogue, and Penelope Cruz and claims that his father’s womanizing style left him with so many issues that he ended up cheating himself.

He said: “My father hurt my mother Roxie a lot, not physically but emotionally through his affairs, which was hard to witness as a kid. I moved out of my home when I was 15 because of my dad.”

“When I was 18 my dad told me, ‘You’ll do the same thing as me one day.’ When your father tells you that you’ll end up being unfaithful like him that’s something that can follow you around for a long time.”

“I had lots of issues when it came to being faithful to women and I’ve had to fight it a lot in my life. Infidelity has been partly responsible for ending some of my relationships.”

Maybe he just hasn’t found the right woman yet?

Lenny Kravitz is refusing to confirm or deny he’s the man who was secretly engaged to Nicole Kidman between her marriages to Tom Cruise and Keith Urban.

The actress recently stunned fans when she revealed she had briefly accepted a marriage proposal before she wed Urban last year in Vanity Fair magazine — but she refused to name names.

Kravitz and film producer Steve Bing were the most likely candidates as Kidman dated them exclusively after her marriage to Cruise ended.

But Kravitz insists the identity of the mystery fiance will remain a secret, as far as he’s concerned.

He says, “I keep that to myself. I feel like that is private and it’s between the two of us, so I just leave it there.
