Dudley O’Shaughnessy says he’s too busy to date Rihanna. It appears Matt Kemp does not have that same problem. The Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder, who dated Rihanna for all of 2010, reunited with the singer for a night out on the town Wednesday in London. Might there be a romantic reconciliation in the works? Matt Kemp and Rihanna in Los Angeles last year. Spotted leaving Stringfellows Nightclub around 2 a.m., the singer – on a break from her Loud tour – sported plum lipstick and a curly ‘do to party with her ex . It’s unclear what the future holds, but they did not part on bad terms. “She’s a good friend of mine,” Kemp said after they broke up this winter. “We’re good. We’ve got busy lives and we’re concentrating on our careers. Like I said, I wish her all the best of luck and she wishes me all the best of luck.” Unfortunately for Matt, his luck improved after they split. His three-year stats, with 2010 being the season in which he and Rihanna dated, are telling: 2009 : .297 BA, 107 R, 26 HR, 34 SB 2010 : .249 BA, 82 R, 28 HR, 13 SB 2011 : .324 BA, 115 R, 39 HR, 40 SB [Photo: Fame Pictures]
We’ve been waiting for this fight longer than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao… It was one of the greatest scandals in Olympic history and now Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan are being offered big bucks to settle their grudge — not on the ice, but in the ring! It has been almost 20 years since Harding’s ex-husband and bodyguard hired a man to attack skating rival Kerrigan, smashing her leg with a baton in an attempt to prevent her skating in the 1994 Olympics. The attack failed to cause long-term damage and Kerrigan went on to win an Olympic silver medal, while Harding was charged with covering up the assault. Now one of the United Kingdom’s richest men is offering both ladies $100,000 each to duke out their differences in the ring. Digital media entrepreneur, FilmOn’s Alki David, has announced he wants the women to face off November 5 in three one-minute rounds. Only problem is Kerrigan has yet to agree to the fight, so David has made a public appeal for the skater to join in the fight offering to give the money to charity if she would prefer. “David is giving Kerrigan the chance to return to stardom in a fun three one-minute round match as part of his great celebrity fight night card,” David’s announcement said. However, Kerrigan may be a little bit apprehensive about facing off against her skating nemesis — not just because of their past — but because Harding has had a short-lived professional boxing career. We think Nancy Kerrigan should take this fight. After all, it’s boxing not MMA, as long as Tonya can’t attack that knee we think Nancy has a shot! LOL! Wouldn’t you like to see Nancy get her “Big Payback” on after all these years?? via RadarOnline
Officials responded to a 911 call about a possible prescription pill overdose at the L.A. apartment where former NFL star Terrell Owens was staying last week. Owens was transported by ambulance to an L.A. hospital Thursday night. Cops were dispatched to investigate and spoke with the 37-year-old at the hospital. Terrell has since been released and appears fine, but have to wonder what’s up, since the footballer had no comment for the first time in his entire adult life. These days, T.O. can only reflect on his career downfall . T.O. was infamously hospitalized back in 2006 amid reports that he tried to commit suicide by inhaling up to 35 Vicodin pills. He denied that categorically. He later held a news conference on the matter and said, “The rumor of me taking 35 pills is absurd. I don’t think I would be here if I had taken 35 pills.” Owens acknowledged a dependence on prescription painkillers at the time but said that incident was merely an accident. Will he claim the same here? We’ll have to wait and see exactly what the former 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Bills and Bengals wideout says … and if Evelyn Lozada weighs in. [Photo: WENN.com]
So you were complaining about doing the lawn on Saturday, weren’t you? Well, this woman just punked you out. A pregnant suburban Chicago woman felt contractions a few minutes after finishing the Chicago Marathon and gave birth hours later to a baby girl. Amber Miller was nearly 39 weeks pregnant when she started the 26.2-mile race on Sunday morning. The DuPage County woman told The Daily Herald in a telephone interview from her hospital bed that her doctor allowed her to run half the race and walk half the race. Miller says she felt contractions after finishing at 6 hours and 25 minutes. When the contractions became regular she stopped to get a sandwich and then went to the hospital. Her daughter, June, was born at 10:29 p.m. weighing 7 pounds, 13 ounces. Miller says she’s happy but calls Sunday “the longest day of my life.” Geez. That woman is a soldier for real! Source
Roger Williams, a virtuoso pianist who topped the Billboard pop chart in the 1950s and played for nine U.S. presidents during a long career, passed away Saturday. He was 87. The electrifying stage performer and an adept improviser died at home in Los Angeles of complications from pancreatic cancer, according to reports. Williams’ 1955 hit “Autumn Leaves” is the only piano instrumental to reach No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts and remains the best-selling piano record of all time. Nicknamed the “pianist to the presidents,” Williams played for every commander in chief from Harry Truman to George W. Bush. He was a close friend to several. Williams was close friends with Jimmy Carter, with whom he shared a birthday. When the two men turned 80, Mr. Williams played at the Jimmy Carter Library. As a teenager, Williams had already scored his own 15-minute radio show on KRNT, broadcast live from a Des Moines, Iowa (his hometown), department store. Later he hosted a program on WHO, where he met a young sports announcer named Ronald “Dutch” Reagan. The two became friends – for over six decades. Williams moved to New York to study jazz at the Juilliard School of Music. He is credited with at least 22 hit singles from 37 commercially successful albums. He is not to be confused for the 17th Century English theologian for whom a Rhode Island university is named, or for JWoww’s huge boyfriend Roger Williams .
Does Lil Tunechi have a love thing for This Fighting Irish banger ?? It seems Lil Wayne has a new girlfriend. Weezy’s said to be stepping out with none other than Skylar Diggins, the Notre Dame women’s college basketball star. The two were apparently seen together at a WNBA game last night. …Aside from the obvious age difference (Skylar is 21 years old, Weezy is 29), is this a good match? Possibly. Skylar is certainly a superstar in the sports world, and with Wayne at her side, well, she’s even more famous. Hopefully all the attention won’t throw her off her game. This woman can play some hoops! Lil Wayne is a huge Skylar Diggins fan. Back in April 2011, shortly after Skylar put up 28 points in Notre Dame’s battle with UConn, Weezy donned her number 4 Fighting Irish jersey on stage during a concert in Indiana. Was this a gesture of romantic interest, or simply a fan being a fan? With the new report linking these two as a couple, the answer now seems pretty obvious. Skylar is definitely a banger, but we think she can do WAY better than this baby-momma machine! Source
File this under Lost Causes: The Catholic League is calling on the NFL to ban Madonna from performing at the Super Bowl, which she recently agreed to do. Bill Donohue wrote to the NFL, saying they “would do well to drop any plans it may have about having Madonna perform during the Super Bowl .” Why? Because in 2004, the NFL invited ‘N Sync’s JC Chasez to sing during the halftime of the Pro Bowl, only to rescind the offer due to some suggestive lyrics. That was JC Chasez. This is Madonna. “The NFL cannot expect Catholics to be treated any different,” the group writes. “For decades, Madonna has blatantly offended Christians, especially Catholics.” “Her offensive lyrics, lewd behavior and misappropriation of sacred symbols are reason enough. Worse, Madonna has repeatedly ridiculed the heart and soul of Christianity: Jesus, Our Blessed Mother, the Eucharist and the Crucifixion.” She also hates hydrangeas . Don’t forget that.
