Rihanna and Matt Kemp Pics: Singer & Dodgers Star Are Officially Dating

The pictures were out there. Sorry, guys, friends don't let friends grab the tushy like THAT.

Rihanna confirmed on Ryan Seacrest's radio show today that she's indeed dating Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp.

"He's my boyfriend. ... It's new and it's fun and it's nothing too serious," she said. "I don't want anything nuts that's gonna take up so much of my energy and time in a bad way."

Judging by the photo, there's nothing bad about this.

A Decent Hit, Kemp

You can't help but be happy for the singer. She's had a rocky history over the last year.

Plus, if Chris Brown tries to get anywhere near her, Kemp's gonna tower over him and kick his ass.

Rub a Dub Dub ...

Dude, they were in Cabo together. We only saw them in a yacht. But we can only hope Matt's been in the tub with her.

Man, I'd Love to Be That Vacuum

If they're going to shack up together, it's good to know she can do housework.

And She's Not Adverse To Car Cleaning

Rihanna's no stranger to tropical locations. She was born in Barbados and got her first taste of the spotlight when she won the Miss Combermere Beauty Pageant.

She was later an army cadet in a sub-military program that trained with the military of Barbados and fellow diva Shontelle was her drill sergeant.

Man, they can't shoot but they sure can vogue and sing.

Good To Know She Can Grow Her Hair Out

The relationship has Kemp in a happy place. He's off to a .357 start with the Dodgers.

Oh, And She's Doing OK, Too

Rihanna has five No. 1 hits and just released her latest single, "Rock Star 101", with a performance on "American Idol".

She has the most top-10 hits among women since 2000 and, despite the Chris Brown ruckus, shows no signs of slowing down.

Whether the "Idol" thing worked for you or not, at least she was singing -- no Ashlee Simpson "SNL" junk here.

Here's the video of the performance:
