I’m sure you’ve heard someone use the phrase “Elvis has left the building” in some kind of humorous or ironic way, or maybe even as some kind of catchphrase. But what does it mean and where did the phrase come from?

Yes, the “Elvis” is Elvis Presley, and the phrase itself dates to December 1956, when Elvis appeared in front of an audience for a radio show called Louisiana Hayride at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport. Elvis did his thing and then left the stage. But the crowd wanted more, and things started getting a little tense. People wouldn’t stop cheering, which made it impossible for the next act to perform.

To calm things down, concert promoter Horace Logan got on the mic and said, “All right, Elvis has left the building. I’ve told you absolutely straight up to this point. You know he has. He has left the building. He left the stage and went out the back with the policemen, and he is now gone from the building.” A portion of that plea is now an evergreen rock’n’roll meme.

How? Because Elvis heard about it and began using the phrase for all his shows.

Back in the days when radio stations played vinyl, the DJ was always switching between records that played at different speeds. One of the most embarrassing things that could happen to you—and I speak from experience here—is to launch a record at the wrong speed, resulting in music that is too slow or too fast. Cringey stuff. But sometimes there are unintended consequences.

In 1978, the Atlanta Rhythm Section, a Southern rock band, released a single called “Imaginary Lover.” A DJ played the song at 45 instead of 33 and didn’t pay attention. The listening audience did, though. To them, it sounded like Stevie Nicks was singing and that this was a brand-new Fleetwood Mac song.

For a while, the song was considered to be a “lost” Stevie Nicks track before everything was sorted out.

Let’s talk about the Imagine Dragons for a second, specifically their name. Where did that come from? This is tricky.

The name is allegedly an anagram, a couple of words scrambled to make sense from another couple of words. Okay, so what words were used to create the name “Imagine Dragons”? The band won’t say. The only clue they’ve ever dropped is that some apostrophes might be required. But then they walked back on that. Using an online anagram machine, we know there are about 107,000 different combinations for the letters in “Imagine Dragons.” Guesses include “Adoring Images,” “A Roaming Design” and “God is in the Manager.”

The band appreciates the effort, but they’re still not saying.

Prince George followed in his father’s footsteps on Monday by starting as a student at the elite Eton College just outside of Windsor, in the U.K.

The young prince was dropped off at the 600-year-old institution by his parents, William and Kate, The Prince and Princess of Wales, with footage showing them smiling as they were greeted by Eton’s headteacher, Simon Henderson.

Prince George joins a growing list of senior royals who attended Eton, including his father, the future king, and his uncle, Prince Harry.

Eton is one of the U.K.’s most elite academic institutions, steeped in tradition and famous for its network of powerful alumni, including 20 British prime ministers, most recently Boris Johnson and David Cameron. The school is also close to Windsor Castle, one of the royal family’s most well-known residences.

Actors Hugh Laurie, Damian Lewis, Eddie Redmayne, Dominic West and Tom Hiddleston also attended Eton.

It retains many traditions, with students wearing tailcoats as part of their uniform as well as ⁠waistcoats ​and gowns, and referring to teachers as “beaks.”

Fees for the all-boys boarding school, which was founded by King Henry VI in 1440, are about £65,000 ($121,000) a year.

Prince George, who is second in line to the throne behind his father, previously attended the private Lambrook School, also near Windsor, with his sister, Princess Charlotte, and younger brother, Prince Louis.

Prince William became the first royal to attend ‌Eton. His father, King ⁠Charles III, went to Gordonstoun, the same private school on the north coast of Scotland that his father, Prince Philip, had attended, but found life and the notoriously rigid institution challenging.

The Prince of Wales has said he enjoyed his time at the Eton and recently ​discussed how he would ​often pop into Windsor Castle at weekends for tea with his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Prince George’s first day coincided with the fourth anniversary of the death of his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

According to a June Vanity Fair article, in his memoir Spare, Prince Harry described his time at Eton as a “profound shock” and recalled William asking him to pretend they didn’t know each other.

Prince William had already been at the school for two years when Prince Harry joined about a year after their mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a Paris car crash.

“He was forging his own life, and he wasn’t willing to give that up,” he wrote, adding that sports were his lifeline during his time as an Eton pupil.

Full House actor Lori Loughlin has filed for divorce from her estranged husband Mossimo Giannulli, nearly one year after she confirmed their separation.

Loughlin filed for divorce from the fashion designer on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court documents obtained by People, Entertainment Weekly and E! News.

Global News has not independently viewed the court documents.

The 62-year-old actor listed the couple’s date of separation as Aug. 31, 2025, and confirmed they had signed a prenup when they married in 1997, according to People’s reporting.

In October, Loughlin’s representative Elizabeth Much announced that the couple was “living apart and taking a break from their marriage.”

Loughlin and Giannulli married in 1997 and share daughters Bella Rose Giannulli, 27, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26.

The divorce comes six years after the couple pleaded guilty and served jail time for paying half a million dollars to get both of their children into university during the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal in 2020.

In May 2020, Loughlin and Giannulli agreed to serve prison time as part of a plea deal in the college admissions bribery case. Giannulli agreed to serve five months under the deal and Loughlin agreed to a two-month sentence.

Loughlin and Giannulli were scheduled to go to trial in October 2020 on charges alleging they paid US$500,000 in bribes to get their daughters into the University of Southern California (USC) as crew team recruits, even though neither of them participated in the sport.

They insisted they were innocent and said they believed their payments were legitimate donations.

A judge rejected their bid to dismiss the case over allegations of misconduct by FBI agents investigating the scam.

Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud in a plea agreement filed in Boston’s federal court.

Prosecutors agreed to dismiss charges of money laundering and federal programs bribery that were added after the case was filed.

“I made an awful decision and went along with a plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process,” Loughlin said at the August 2020 sentencing, wiping away tears as she read a statement.

“I thought I was acting out of love for my children, but in reality, it only undermined and diminished my daughters’ abilities and accomplishments.”

“I take full responsibility for my conduct,” Giannulli said at the time. “I am ready to accept the consequences and move forward, with the lessons I’ve learned from this experience.”

Loughlin and Giannulli are among dozens of wealthy parents who were charged with participating in schemes organized by college admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer to bribe coaches and university insiders or cheat on entrance exams. The cases were prosecuted in federal court in Boston.

Others who pleaded guilty in the case include Desperate Housewives actor Felicity Huffman. She served nearly two weeks in prison in October 2019 after she admitted to paying $15,000 to have someone correct her daughter’s entrance exam answers.

Telus is suing a former employee for more than $1 million, alleging he purchased thousands of items including household appliances using company credit cards.

It says the man it employed in 2015 was in a position with “significant authority and discretion” over company procurement, equipment acquisitions and budgets.

Telus Communications alleges he began directing employees to make purchases using an Amazon business account linked to a company credit card starting in 2020, buying more than 2,500 identified items including home theatre equipment, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, cameras and consumer electronics.

The company says the total value of the items reached almost $1.1 million, with some allegedly re-sold by the accused on Amazon and other online storefronts.

None of the allegations in a notice of civil claim filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia last week have been proven in court.

Telus says the man was terminated with cause on Aug. 13 after the alleged misappropriation was discovered, and the company is seeking the amount used to buy the items, costs and general and punitive damages.

Erik and Lyle Menendez have been granted an early parole suitability hearing, tentatively schedule for March 2027, according to a statement from a family spokesperson.

The Menendez brothers have been serving a sentence of life without parole after being convicted of murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills, Calif., home in 1989.

The siblings were previously eligible for a parole suitability hearing in August 2028, a family spokesperson told People and CBS News.

“We are incredibly proud of the men they have become and deeply grateful to the Parole Board for recognizing their efforts and allowing them to advance their parole hearing,” the family said in a statement.

“For almost 40 years, Erik and Lyle have worked to take responsibility for their actions, confront and heal from the unimaginable abuse and trauma they endured, grow as individuals, and dedicate themselves to serving others,” the family’s statement continued.

“Through efforts such as helping to establish a hospice program and creating Green Space, they have sought to build an environment that reminds people serving life sentences that their lives still have meaning and that, regardless of their circumstances, they can choose each day to grow, heal, accept accountability, and contribute something of value to the world around them.”

“Today’s decision is especially meaningful and brings us immeasurable joy as we move one step closer to a future with them that once seemed impossible,” the statement concluded.

Last August, Erik and Lyle were each denied parole during separate hearings, nearly 30 years after they were convicted of first-degree murder in 1995 for the 1989 killings of their parents.

The Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1996 but after a Los Angeles judge reduced their sentences to 50 years to life in May 2025, they immediately became eligible for parole under California law because they were under the age of 26 when they committed their crimes.

A panel of two parole commissioners said Erik was unsuitable for release, basing its decision on multiple factors, including his behaviour in prison, burglaries he participated in before the murders and the killing of his parents.

They said his actions in prison, including affiliating with a prison gang and having a cellphone in violation of the rules, showed he was a risk to public safety.

“One can pose a risk to public safety in many ways, with several types of criminal behaviour, including the ones you were guilty of in prison,” commissioner Robert Barton said in August 2025.

Barton said Erik would be eligible to appear before the parole board again in three years and urged him to change his behaviour.

During his hearing, Erik offered his most detailed account in years of how he was raised and why he made the choices he did — both at the time of his parents’ killing and during his decades in prison.

“I was not raised with a moral foundation,” he said at the time. “I was raised to lie, to cheat, to steal, steal in the sense, an abstract way. When I was playing tennis my father would make sure that I cheated at certain times if he told me to. The idea that there is a right and wrong that I do not cross because it’s a moral bound was not instilled in me as a teenager.”

After Erik was denied parole, his spokesperson called the outcome of the hearing “disappointing and not what we hoped for.”

“But our belief in Erik remains unwavering and we know he will take the Board’s recommendation in stride. His remorse, growth, and the positive impact he’s had on others speak for themselves. We will continue to stand by him and hold to the hope he is able to return home soon,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

During Lyle’s parole hearing, commissioners noted that he still displayed “anti-social personality traits like deception, minimization and rule-breaking that lie beneath that positive surface.”

“We do understand that you had very little hope of being released for years,” commissioner Julie Garland said last August. “Citizens are expected to follow the rules whether or not there is some incentive to do so.”

She also said the panel found his remorse genuine and that he has been a “model inmate in many ways who has demonstrated the potential for change.”

“Don’t ever not have hope,” she told Lyle.

Jennifer Boychuck walked through her now forest-like neighbourhood with downed trees and hydro poles, and outdoor furniture strewn around after a storm struck the city on Sunday evening.

Many Westwood and River Heights residents saw downed trees and hydro poles after the storm left people with no electricity.

Around 3,100 Winnipeggers were without power as of Monday afternoon. There were initially 6,700 people without power in the city from the storms on Monday morning, according to a Manitoba Hydro social media post Sunday night.

“It looks like a warzone,” said Jennifer, a River Heights resident. “It was pretty scary. My son came up and we closed as many windows as we could. We grabbed the cats and ran to the basement. It was over within 20 seconds.”

Winnipeg had wind gusts up to 90 km/h and the storm began in Moose Jaw, Sask., said Dan Fulton, a meteorologist at Environment Canada.

Boychuck’s house is between two hydro poles that snapped and toppled over.

“I took a look at the window; three breakers – lightning just hits them all at once,” said Matthew Boychuck, who saw the hydro pole break.

A veteran Vancouver police officer accused of theft, fraud and breach of trust where millions of dollars were allegedly lost has denied wrongdoing.

In a statement issued by his lawyer, Joven Narwal, Kal Dosanjh says he has spent 26 years serving the Vancouver area community and “will allow the evidence and the facts to speak for themselves.”

Dosanjh, well known for charitable work linked to the Kids Play foundation, was arrested at a controlled traffic stop in Surrey, B.C., last week after what Vancouver police described as a covert investigation of more than two years, related to housing developments.

Vancouver police say several alleged victims contacted investigators, and 19 people have reported losses of more than $3 million between 2017 and 2025.

Chief Const. Steve Rai called the allegations “deeply troubling” last week, saying the case has the potential to undermine public trust in officers.

Narwal says his client “has devoted thousands of hours” to helping young people during 26 years as a Vancouver police officer and with his charitable work, “helping steer them away from drugs, gangs and violence through sport, mentorship and education.”

The lawyer also says he is concerned about Vancouver police investigating instead of another agency such as the RCMP.

“Last week, the institution Mr. Dosanjh has served for his entire professional life revealed that it had been investigating him through its own investigators,” Narwal says.

“That raises legitimate concerns about investigative independence, objectivity and the safeguards used when a police department investigates one of its own members, particularly in a case the department itself has framed as a matter of public trust.”

Vancouver police have said the decision to investigate internally was done after consulting RCMP and determining the necessary resources.

In addition to denying all wrongdoing, Dosanjh says in the statement that last week was “difficult” for him and his family as he thanked supporters.

“I have dedicated more than 26 years of my life to serving this community,” he says. “That work remains deeply important to me, and I intend to continue supporting the community I have served for so many years.

“I respectfully ask the media and the public to allow the legal process to take its course.”

B.C. Premier David Eby is set to speak on Tuesday afternoon as Canada’s counter-tariffs are now in effect on billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. goods.

Eby will speak at 12:15 p.m. PT and that will be live-streamed above.

Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to match Trump’s recently imposed 50 per cent tariffs “dollar-for-dollar,” and trade negotiations fell apart last month.

As the country pivots away from the United States, Carney is warning Canadians that “this won’t be easy, and I won’t pretend otherwise.” He added that the alternative would be far worse.
