News You Can’t Use

….or maybe you can if you’re bored today!

Would you like to know how your face would look if you were a member of another race or age?

Just head on over to the “Face Transformer”, a website from the Perception Laboratory at the University of St. Andrews, in Scotland.

Just upload a picture of your face, follow the directions, and “transform” your face to see what your face would look like as: a member of another race . . . a baby . . . or an elderly person.

Oceanview Elementary

The Morning BOUNCE plus Adam H and R$ Smooth went to Oceanview Elementary in Eastern Passage.

The BOUNCE went to visit the school because of a special little girl named Emily who wrote in to say she loved The BOUNCE!

Here is Emily coming up to meet some of The BOUNCE personalities and to get some swag.

The students were so excited to have The BOUNCE in the house and The BOUNCE was so happy to be there!

The students went crazy for BOUNCE swag!

Here’s Frankie Hollywood:

Here’s Jordan Knight reading the letter Emily wrote to The BOUNCE.

Starface!

Turns out this 18-year old girl was lying about saying her tattoo artist “misunderstood” her tattoo request.

The tattoo artist said the girl asked for the 58 stars, not the 3 stars the girl claimed she had asked for.

The tattoo artist said the girl complained after she got in trouble with her dad and boyfriend.

Amber’s PMS hood

This is what Frankie and Jordan were making fun of Amber about earlier:

Perez’s statement

From the heart:

“Words can hurt. I know that very well, from both sides of the fence. The other night in Toronto, after feeling physically threatened by a verbally abusive Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, I chose the most hurtful word I know to hurl at him. I was in an out-of-the ordinary situaton and used a word that I would not utter under normal circumstances. My intention – however misguided it may have been – was to stand up for myself and tell this belligerent man that I had enough of his badgering and was not going to continue to let him berate and intimidate me. I wanted to hurt him with the word I chose, not anyone else. Unfortunately, the one who got hurt was me and, subsequently, a lot of other people. I wish none of it had happened. I can’t take it back. I did what I thought was best at the moment to stand up for myself in a non-violent yet still assertive way. Clearly, I am not homophobic. Also, I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a spokesperson for the gay community. I am just speaking for myself, a gay man. One who is labeled “flamboyant” in the media. An American that is not granted equal rights under the law. I will continue to speak out for equality and I will continue to say things that upset both gay people and straight people. Who I am as a person and what I do for a living are two separate things. I’ve come to terms with all my incongruities and am proud of who I am and what I do. In closing, words can hurt. But words should not provoke someone to violence. Stripped away from the mask of Perez Hilton, I have been extremely bothered by the public reaction to my assault. Violence should never be condoned with such statements as “It’s Karma” or “I don’t believe in violence but….”. In fact, several television and radio shows over the past couple of days echoed the sentiment “He had it coming”. Would they have said the same thing if I was a woman? Would I have “deserved it” if I had been stabbed? Or shot? Or killed? I was attacked from behind without warning and repeatedly punched in the head in a cold, disgusting and unnecessarily violent manner by Polo Molina, the road manager for the Black Eyed Peas, who I did not even speak with that evening. I did not share any words with him and his assault on me was completely unprovoked. I feel like everything happens for a reason and I leave this traumatic experience as a person with more compassion. Specifically, there was an instance last year when actor Jesse Metcalfe was attacked outside of a Hollywood nightclub by a fellow entertainer. I did not condone the violence, but I did make light of that situation. I regret that. Sincerely. There are many ways to deal with disagreements, both good and bad, but violence is never the answer. Never. I now know that first-hand. It should not be condoned, promoted or accepted. No one “deserves” to be the victim of violence. No one “has it coming.” NO ONE. And victims should not be ridiculed. I look forward to marching for equality in Washington, D.C. this October. And I look forward to standing up for my rights in a Toronto courtroom shortly, as I fully intend to seek every lawful remedy against the man that attacked me.”

Frankie and Jordan are convinced this is incredibly easy and are betting someone will get it. Amber says “Hell no!”
