Live Nation released the results of a big poll they did this week that revealed live music is the world's favourite way to be entertained! Let’s see if KW agrees.

People were asked what they'd choose if they could only experience one type of entertainment the rest of their lives.

Choices included movies, live sports, and live music. And they could only pick one. 39% chose live music. It got twice as many votes as movies in second place.

Also very interesting, 93% of people said they’d rather have fun IRL than a virtual experience.

Rihanna is the first Black woman to build two billion-dollar companies! 🤩💫

Both her companies, Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty are each worth over $1 billion! 💰

Fenty Beauty is her makeup line that was the first to give her the billionaire status, followed by her lingerie line Savage X Fenty.

Both companies are now worth over $3 billion. A huge accomplishment for Rihanna who is only 37!

Canada stopped making pennies back in on May 4th 2012, and the government officially stopped distributing them to financial institutions on February 4, 2013. So it’s been more than a decade without pennies. How do we feel? Do we like rounding to the nearest 5 cents, miss finding lucky pennies on the street, didn’t even notice? – Rae

JEFF, KP & BACKSTAGE BEN: Leo needs a home!

This sweet 8-month-old labradoodle was surrendered through no fault of his own. He is looking for the perfect family who will give him lots of love and snuggles. Leo is smart, obedient and very loyal. He gets along with kids, dogs and cats too! He LOVES the outdoors and would do best in a home with a large backyard. He is seriously the sweetest boy, and just wants a place to call home. If you'd like more info, or to adopt, please check out animalert.ca, and follow them on socials. Let's find Leo him humans!!! ❤
