Rocker Lenny Kravitzs’ new album lifts the lid on his rift with his late father.

The singer left the family home when he was just 15 because he couldn’t bear to watch his dad Sy regularly cheat on his mother.

Former Star Trek star William Shatner has not seen the TV show which made him famous.

The 76-year-old refuses to watch himself onscreen because he believes “(he) sucks” at acting in the popular sci-fi series.

He said: “I never watched Star Trek and I have not even seen any of the Star Trek movies. I don’t watch them myself. When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck.”

But Simmons has no regrets about sharing his private life with the world.
