Lenny Kravitz had an impromptu intermission during a concert in Italy to answer a phone call from his buddy Denzel Washington.

“I’m sorry, my big brother just called me up on the phone to say ‘Hi,’ ” Kravitz said Friday to the crowd at the Umbria Jazz Festival. “Y’all know Denzel Washington?”

The “Fly Away” singer took the moment to show a smiling Washington to the crowd, which erupted in cheers. “All right, brother, I love you. I’ll call you later,” Kravitz said, then ended the call.

Kravitz shared a video of the moment on his Instagram with the caption, “When your brother calls and you’re in the middle of a show.”

The four-time Grammy winner was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March. He was joined by his daughter, actor Zoe Kravitz, and Washington. During his introduction speech, the “Training Day” actor talked about his three- decade friendship with the musician.

“He’s more than a friend, he’s more than a brother. We’re twins, we just don’t look alike. We’ve had a close brothership, friendship for about 30 years,” Washington said.

“He was 7 when I met him. God has blessed him with an unbelievable talent but even more so an unbelievable heart. He’s a giver, a lover ... We’re close friends. We are brothers. I love Lenny Kravitz. I love Lenny Kravitz. I love Lenny Kravitz like I’ve loved no other brother in my life,” he added.

Bird honored with Barbie: WNBA great Sue Bird has been honored with a signature Barbie doll.

Mattel announced Tuesday the collectible tribute doll was modeled for Bird, who is a “basketball legend who pioneered the way for growth in the women’s league with her record-breaking legacy and courageous voice that forever changed the game.”

The doll is dressed in a No. 10 jersey, Bird’s number in the WNBA. It is part of Mattel’s Role Model series to celebrate Barbie’s 65th anniversary and the company’s summer of sports initiative.

UConn, where Bird won two national championships in college, posted a photo of her smiling while holding her Barbie.

Andress apologizes for performance: After a widely panned performance of the national anthem at the MLB Home Run Derby, country singer Ingrid Andress apologized Tuesday and said she was drunk.

“I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition.”

MLB is not commenting, spokesperson Matt Bourne said. A representative for Andress said there will be no additional comment.

On Monday night, the four-time Grammy nominee belted an a cappella version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Clips of her less-than-popular rendition went viral.
