Billie Eilish to Coachella crowd: ‘Sorry I’m not Beyoncé’ - Page Six

Bow down to Coachella’s new Queen B.

Billie Eilish made history on Saturday as the youngest artist to ever headline the Indio, Calif., music festival – but took the moment to shout out 2018 headliner Beyoncé.

“Thank you, Coachella! I’m sorry I’m not Beyoncé,” Eilish, 20, told the crowd.

“I love you, goodnight.”

Earlier in her set, the “Bad Guy” singer also joked that she “should not be headlining this s–t,” adding that she was “so f–king grateful” to perform on the legendary stage.

“This is such a dream come true,” she exclaimed. “I feel crazy.”

Eilish also outlined her “three rules for the night” at one point, which included not judging others, not being “an a–hole” and just “having fun, bitch.”

Beyoncé, 40, previously headlined the festival in 2018, putting on a career-defining show that featured a Destiny’s Child reunion, epic dance numbers from Les Twins and cameos from husband Jay-Z, sister Solange Knowles and more.

Eilish, for her part, also brought a couple of surprise guests on stage over the weekend, including Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn and her “Lovely” collaborator, Khalid.

“This is the craziest s–t I’ve ever experienced. [Damon] changed my life in a lot of ways, and changed my view of what music and art and creation could be,” she said before the pair sang Gorillaz’ hit “Feel Good Inc.”

Eilish’s show followed Harry Styles’ headlining set one night prior. The former One Direction crooner put fans in a frenzy when he brought country star Shania Twain out for a surprise rendition of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”

“This lady taught me to sing,” Styles, 28, said of Twain, 56. “She also taught me that men are trash.”

Later in the set, he cheekily told the crowd, “We’ve got 12 minutes left … of dancing,” before adding, “I may be quick at some things, but this is not one of them.”

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
