Matt Kemp swears that he is over the celebrity status he had while dating Rihanna and is ready to get back to focusing on baseball only. Yahoo! Sports remembers when Matt Kemp arrived as a rookie: “His skills were breathtaking. Built thick and strong and fast…with home-run power and base-stealing speed…” “He [became] a regular in early summer of 2007…. The cash-poor Dodgers signed him to a two-year contract worth $10.95 million.” But then…Rihanna happened. “The Dodgers were losing. Kemp played as if distracted. His general manager called him out in April. His manager benched him in June. A friend of Kemp’s confided he’d lost him to a world that barely had time for baseball. His body swelled, his bat slowed, his mind appeared to wander. He didn’t compete , not the way he once had, before the money and the celebrity and the fast company.” In Matt Kemp’s own words, he confesses: “I don’t know if I got too comfortable.” But when asked if he feels scarred by last season, he says, “What? Scarred? No, man. I’m not trippin’ about last year. Last year was last year. This year is this year.” Well, good for you, Matt! We’re glad you’ve not fallen to Rihanna’s voodoo mind tricks!

Despite reports that she still pines for Jon , Kate Gosselin says she’s looking for someone new and is about ready to get back into the dating world. “I’m kind of out-ish, sort of,” the Kate Plus 8 star said. “You never really picture yourself back in that scene after you’re done with it in your 20s.” “But I’m trying to be a little more open-minded now,” Kate added . “If there’s anybody out there that wants to deal with us, that would be good.” JON & KATE : On the same page, albeit not together . It’s not like the mother of eight, who has gone through personal and media hell and back over the last few years, hasn’t come a long way, though. “I’m encouraging the kids to enjoy their time with him,” Kate says, referring to ex-hubby Jon, who she’s a lot kinder to in public comments lately. Kate, who just celebrated her 36th birthday last week, says that when it comes to her ex, she’s “keeping communication as positive as possible.” Not exactly a convincing, heartwarming statement, but … baby steps. Speaking of Jon Gosselin, dude has probably has had a half dozen jobs in as many months, but like Kate, he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do to get by. He used to whore himself out to any mediocre girls that showed interest. Now he’s doing that for any entity that will pay him. The latest – Quiznos. Seriously, the working stiff is pushing Quiznos promos on Twitter to his (soon to be declining number of) 72,184 followers for around $500 a pop. How the mighty have fallen. Hope he also gets free subs, at least.
Wendy Williams’ foxtrot is the lowest-rated of the night. By Kelley L. Carter Kym Johnson and Hines Ward Photo: ABC Monday night’s “Dancing With the Stars” was an emotional event. The celebrities were told to choose a song that told a story about themselves. Some songs talked about their career challenges, some called up memories of now-deceased parents and others were about relationships and the challenges that go along with romance in the pubic eye. At the top of the judges’ list were football star Hines Ward and supermodel Petra Nemcova, who both grabbed scores of 25 out of 30. Talk-show host Wendy Williams earned the lowest score of 15. Here’s how the dancers fared this week: Wendy Williams and her partner, Tony Dovolani, told the story of Williams’ dreams of having a radio career. She performed the foxtrot to “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life,” and the judges thought she lacked fluidity. Judge Len Goodman said she worked extremely hard, but it wasn’t great. “It was suited to radio,” he told her. Bruno Tonioli told her “at times it looked like you put down roots.” Carrie Ann Inaba worried that Williams took a step backwards from her performance last week. Score: 15/30. Disney star Chelsea Kane and partner Mark Ballas danced to “Chelsea,” which was written for her by her first love. Her cha-cha was a big hit with the judges, who thought her performance was sexy and energetic. “Chelsea! Chelsea! Sexy! Sexy!” Tonioli said. Goodman joked, “I remember my first love, and she didn’t look anything like you!” Score: 23/30. Wrestler Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke performed an emotional rumba to “Let It Be,” the same song that Jericho played at his mother’s funeral. The judges loved the powerful dance, an Inaba was in tears by the end. Score: 21/30. Model and reality star Kendra Wilkinson told her partner, Louis Van Amstel, that she wanted to dance to a song by Musiq Soulchild, which reminded her of the beginning of her relationship with her husband, Hank. She talked about “haters” who didn’t care for her dating her husband because of her background as a Playboy model and the former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner. They called her a “stripper,” she said. “There is nothing wrong with a good stripper!” exclaimed Tonioli. Score: 23/30. Rapper and actor Romeo and his partner, Chelsie Hightower, danced to “I’ll Be There,” which was in memory of two of his cousins who died at a young age. They danced the rumba, and the judges thought that his footwork needed a bit of work. 20/30. Football star Ward danced to Earth, Wind and Fire’s “Fantasy,” a tribute to his single mom, and judges were in love with his performance. “My whole life experience has been great. I’m very blessed. This is a tribute to her. It’s a celebration. We’re going to the moon, Ma! We’re on ‘Dancing With the Stars’!” he said to his mother, who was in the audience. Score: 25/30. Supermodel Petra Nemcova danced to “You Raise Me Up,” a song she said she listened to after she revisited the area destroyed by the tsunami in Thailand that she was in. The song, she shared, gave her the encouragement to start a foundation to benefit those affected by the tragedy. She and her partner, Dmitry Chaplin, danced the waltz, and the judges called her performance elegant. Score: 25/30. Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard picked a fun song, “My Prerogative.” He and partner Anna Trebunskaya did the paso doble, and the judges said he needed to work on his lines a bit more. Score: 20/30. Actress Kirstie Alley and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, danced the rumba to “Over the Rainbow,” a song that Alley said embodies “the hopefulness after the despair” she felt in 1980 when in 72 hours she lost her mother, almost lost her father and got her first film role. The judges said she made an improvement. Score: 21/30. Actor Ralph Macchio danced to “Stay Gold,” from his movie “The Outsiders,” which he said also was his wedding song from 24 years ago. He and partner Karina Smirnoff danced the rumba, and Macchio closed the dance by running over to his wife and kissing her. Inaba said he needed to work on his core strength. Score: 21/30.

Adam Young posts his own version of her song, which was rumored to be about him. By Jocelyn Vena Owl City’s Adam Young and Taylor Swift Photo: Larry Marano/ Jordan Strauss/ Getty Images Taylor Swift famously writes songs about the guys in her life. And while she doesn’t always say specifically who those songs are about, it seems one of the subjects of her melodic affections, Owl City’s Adam Young, has figured out that he’s the guy behind the Speak Now track “Enchanted.” (Swift hinted to Yahoo! Music last year that the song might have been about him.) “The track is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction. Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn’t stop smiling,” he wrote Monday (February 14) on his website . “I figured such an eloquent gesture should be reciprocated by the most polite, heartfelt and respectful response I could possibly muster. It’s no secret that I’m a bit shy, so naturally music was the most articulate way of attempting such a sincere endeavor. How does one respond to such a personal outpouring of emotion and sentiment? I tossed and turned over that one.” As a gesture fitting for a day like Valentine’s Day, Young wrote a response to Swift’s song. “They say ‘timing is everything’ and that brings us to now. Today is Valentine’s Day,” he said. “And thus, here is my reply…” On the synthy ballad, he sings to the star, “I was never in love with someone else/ I never had somebody waiting on me/ ‘Cause you were all of my dreams come true/ And I just wish you knew/ Taylor, I was so in love with you.” He went on to post a photo of himself with the star. The pair stand smiling, hugging one another in the photo. “Everything about you is beautiful. You’re an immensely charming girl with a wonderful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale; a modern Cinderella,” he goes on to say in the blog post. “I’m terribly sorry it’s taken me such a long time to reply but I figured Valentine’s Day was the perfect time to write this note to you and simply say… I was enchanted to meet you too.” What do you think of Adam Young’s gesture to Taylor Swift?
