Viral video of Dodger Matt Kemp's touching gesture to a young fan catches him off guard There was never supposed to be a video. Matt Kemp's uncommon act of kindness was never supposed to go farther than an ailing boy, his dad and the baseball star. And yet when Kemp awakened Tuesday morning, 36 hours afterward, his phone told him otherwise. The video was everywhere. No, there was never supposed to be evidence beyond the ailing boy's memory, and perhaps a shelf in his room. Maybe he's wearing Kemp's cap. Maybe he's still holding Kemp's gray road jersey and spikes. "I didn't know that anybody was filming it," Kemp said Tuesday afternoon. "I wasn't aware." ( Full text for the linkphobic ) |

At her show in Philadelphia Sunday night, the singer stopped her set to comfort a little girl crying in the audience. [...] She then walked to the edge of the stage, and offered the girl a stuffed frog toy and a Rice Krispy treat, telling her "you look beautiful!" Awww. The link includes a video. |

Sweet football story... Young Brandon Jacobs fan gets his $3.36 back, plus bounce house time with his hero This is a sweet story in a lot of ways -- a young fan named Joe heard that "money" was the reason that Brandon Jacobs was leaving the Giants, so he sent him his piggy bank money. Jacobs returned the money personally, with a signed helmet, and took Joe and his brother out to a bouncy house for the afternoon. (Note: Story is on Yahoo so beware the comments...)

"Marvel Comics creates superhero in honor of NH boy" Link to article and video. SALEM, NH (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) Marvel Comics is showing a young New Hampshire boy that superheroes are as unique as they are strong. Anthony Smith cannot hear out of his right ear and suffers from hearing loss in his other ear. The 4-year-old from Salem wears a hearing aid, but he woke up one day and decided he wouldn't put it on. Anthony told his mother that superheroes don't wear hearing aids. His mother decided to look to Marvel Comics for some assistance. She e-mailed the comic empire known for its popular superheroes like Spider-man and the Avengers, looking for examples of superheroes who suffer from hearing loss. Marvel responded with the image of a superhero known as Hawkeye, a superhero who lost 80-percent of his hearing and wears hearing aids. Marvel didn't stop there. They later sent Anthony a drawing of a new superhero, "Blue Ear." The character is named after Anthony's hearing aid, which he and his mother have always called blue ear. By the by, the issue with the info page has been fixed. |

Hermit crab moves into Lego-covered shell Harry showed more discerning taste when he chose a shell made out of the blue, red and yellow bricks over the more traditional options. Legoland's Liane Riley said: "We decided to give Harry a wider choice and the model makers here created a special Lego house just for him. "We weren't really sure if he'd actually move in, but he rejected the sea and snail shells on offer and seems very comfortable in his new home". |

Naval first: Lesbian couple shares first kiss at homecoming ceremony It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one. Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay. The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America. As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she'd won. Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow. They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished. Edit: Video interview with the couple. |
