It’s obvious that this publicity stunt orchestrated by Rihanna’s peeps to shut down rumors that she’s a lesbun has failed badly. Now both Rihanna and Matt Kemp’s camps are doing damage control.

Last month Rihanna and Matt Kemp were photographed sucking face in Mexico, and this month they’re “just friends.”

“I can’t get distracted by that,” Kemp said about the buzz over his Baja trip. “My job is to get my work in, which I’ve been doing. Nothing distracts me from my job, not the contract, or my personal life. When it’s time to play baseball, that’s my job. No distractions.”

Kemp said Rihanna is “just a friend,” that he was shocked that their hookup made headlines. “That wasn’t the plan,” Kemp said. “She’s just a friend, a good friend of mine and we went down to Mexico and had fun together.

“I didn’t think all that would come out of it, it just happened. I’m not used to that much attention to my personal life. It’s really not that big a deal.
