Google posted the top "Is it weird" questions we've asked so far this year and they're all about doing stuff solo . . .
1. Is it weird to go to a bar alone? Plenty of people do.
2. Is it weird to talk to yourself? It depends. In public at full volume? Yes.
3. Is it weird to go to a concert alone? Go for it. Maybe you'll meet people with shared interests.
4. Is it weird to go to the movies alone? Now that there's so much to stream, it might be less common. But plenty of people still do it.
5. Is it weird to eat alone at a restaurant? No, but there's a stigma because restaurants are kind of set up for people to eat together. So if it feels weird, just sit at the bar.

Taylor Swift just added another line to her resume: She's now the richest female musician in the world.
Taylor is worth an estimated $1.6 billion, which puts her ahead of Rihanna's $1.4 billion.
Taylor is also the second-richest musician overall, behind Jay-Z. But he's got a pretty substantial lead. He's worth $2.5 billion.
Rihanna still keeps the title of richest female musician of ALL TIME, because she was once worth $1.77 billion. But Taylor Swift might eclipse that once her Eras Tour is finished.
she will be at travis's game tonight.

A celebration of life ceremony was held for Richard Simmons at a cathedral in New Orleans on Saturday. He passed away July 13th from heart disease and complications from a recent fall.
His brother Lenny let everyone know that Richard was buried in his classic workout gear.
Quote, "Just like Clark Kent, underneath his beautiful things that he was wearing, his clothing, [Richard] is wearing a tank top and shorts. Why, you ask? Because we think that God has another plan for him . . .
"We want to make sure that he was going to be in his normal costume that we all know and love, to help the saints and the angels get into shape . . . Richard Simmons will forever be sweating with the Holies."
