THE NEW “DO” FROM VLADDY

For years, Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero has rocked dreadlocks — until last week, when he showed up to batting practice with a much shorter ‘do.

And even though he and his teammates are tight-lipped, it appears none of his fellow Blue Jays knew about the change the first baseman had planned, Dan Bilicki reported.

But they and Jays fans were, well, fans of the new look.

FLASHING FAN FOR THE HATERS: “F– you if you don’t like it”

The Edmonton Oilers fan who bared her breasts at a recent game had some things to get off her chest after she was attacked by online trolls.

The fan known as Kait — not “Oilers girl,” she pointed out — took to Instagram, decked out in Oilers gear once again, to bare her soul and address the haters.

Sometimes those 15 minutes aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be.

THE POLICE OFFICER WHO HIT JT DIDN’T KNOW WHO HE WAS

If you’ve been on the internet at all in the past few days, then you’ve seen all the memes that came out after Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest.

The 43-year-old man, who allegedly refused to take a breathalyzer test, told authorities he only drank one martini and was following friends home.

Court records, however, stated otherwise.

THE MAN WITH THE CUT KNIFE

A suspect who was charged with allegedly throwing a knife at a man in an incident that was caught on camera and went viral in Scarborough last weekend has been released on bail faster than you can say ‘catch and release’ “.

Joe Warmington detailed how it all started, how the situation escalated and how it could have ended in a homicide, but luckily no one was hurt.

The police were called anyway and are now looking for one of the suspects.

GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD

Our Ontario elementary schools are now at the forefront of erasing women from our language and culture, according to Brian Lilley, who wrote that his friend’s fifth-grade son was given homework that used highly questionable terminology.

“Women” and “girls” were referred to as “womb people,” while “boys” and “men” are—you guessed it—”penis people.”

That said, Education Minister Todd Smith’s office insisted that this is not their policy and would prefer that school boards focus on “getting back to the basics on the fundamental skills that children need, such as reading, writing and math “.

It’s a relief, but also worrying, that some teachers think they can teach anything they want.
