Flavor Flav gifts Billie Eilish a custom Barbie clock necklace at Vanity Fair Oscar party

An open letter from the Artists Rights Alliance and signed by more than 200 major figures in the music and entertainment industries is calling on AI companies and digital music service platforms to pledge that they won’t develop or use AI tools “that undermine or replace the human artistry of songwriters and artists or deny us fair compensation for our work.”

Billie Eilish‘s forthcoming album have been popping in major cities across the world.Although they do not feature the album title, the billboards which have appeared in New York, Los Angeles and Sydney, feature her blohsh symbol and what appear to be lyric snippets saying things like “Did I cross the line?,” “I try to live in black and white” and “She’s the headlights I’m the deer.”The lyrics on the billboards also feature a shade of blue that is now the profile photo and backdrop of her social media accounts.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music A series of billboards apparently teasing Billie Eilish’s new album have popped up in major cities across the world, as noted in multiple social media posts on Tuesday. The billboards do not feature the Grammy- and Oscar-winning artist’s name but do include her familiar “blohsh” symbol and what appear to be lyric snippets saying things like “Did I cross the line?,” “I try to live in black and white” and “She’s the headlights I’m the deer.” A rep for the artist did not immediately respond to Variety‘s requests for comment.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj, Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Kacey Musgraves, Camila Cabello and more than 200 other artists have joined with the Artist Rights Alliance non-profit – an artist-led education and advocacy organization – to issue an open letter supported by more than 200 artists calling on “AI developers, technology companies, platforms, and digital music services to cease the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists.” A full list of signatories appears below. While AI-related threats such as deepfakes and voice cloning continue to attract significant (and legal) scrutiny, the letter also highlights two related trends: the use of musical works by AI developers without permission to train and produce AI “copycats,” and the use of AI “sound” to dilute royalty obligations.

Billie Eilish is making it clear she was not calling out any artist in particular after she deemed “wasteful” the practice of releasing multiple vinyl variants to boost album sales.

Billie Eilish is hitting back at the backlash over her recent comments.

Taylor Swift fans for “putting words into my mouth” after she seemingly shaded Swift for not being environmentally conscious. “Okay so it would be so awesome if people would stop putting words into my mouth and actually read what I said in that billboard article,” the 22-year-old singer wrote in an Instagram story.

The Gaslight Anthem have shared a heavy cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Ocean Eyes’.The New Jersey rockers’ cover of the 2016 hit, which served as the lead single on her 2017 EP ‘Don’t Smile At Me, starts off with a haunting vocalisation before jumping straight into a loud drumbeat and chugging guitar while frontman Brian Fallon juxtaposes Eilish’s original soft vocals with his raspy voice. The song also features backing vocals by psych-jam bassist/bandleader Karina Rykman.Speaking about their decision to cover ‘Ocean Eyes’ in a statement (via Stereogum), Fallon shared: “I was driving my daughter to school and she played it for me on the way and I really took to the song.

Angelique Jackson As the clock inched toward midnight at the Vanity Fair Oscars party (and on the eight-month long “Barbie” press tour), Greta Gerwig gleefully danced the night away. With an In-N-Out burger in one hand and a cocktail in the other, Gerwig grooved to Dua Lipa’s hit “Dance the Night” with another one of her Barbies, Hari Nef, who sported a pink feathered Balenciaga jacket with a sizable train.

The 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party was the hottest place to be on the night of the Academy Awards with even more stars attending the after party than the actual show!

Billie Eilish got the best surprise at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party thanks to Flavor Flav!

Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, were among those who donned red "Artists4Ceasefire" pins at the 96th Academy Awards, as they joined calls for peace in the Middle East. And the Best Original Song winners weren't the only celebs who chose to wear these pins. Poor Things actor Ramy Youssef also donned a red pin.Talking to reporters ahead of the awards ceremony, he said: "We're calling for immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

“I’m Just Ken” might actually win Best Original Song over “What Was I Made For?” — Billie Eilish’s far superior “Barbie” tune.After all, another Oscar win would make Eilish, 22, and her producer brother, Finneas, 26, the youngest two-time Academy Award winners in history after their victory in 2022 for the Bond theme song “No Time To Die.”Perhaps with some voters thinking “too much, too soon,” an upset seemed to be brewing.But now the siblings are in the history books — as they should be.Sometimes it’s just as simple as real recognizing real — whether it’s at the Oscars or the Grammys.And when Eilish got a standing O from Hollywood’s finest after performing “What Was I Made For?” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, it was an acknowledgement of just how far ahead she was of the other Best Original Song nominees.To be honest, it wasn’t even as hauntingly heartbreaking as her performance of the tune just before it took Song of the Year at the Grammys last month.But it was still real artistry on raw display that was all the chills and feels.“What Was I Made For?” also became only the 10th song in history to win both the Grammy for Song of the Year and the Oscar for Best Original Song.That puts it in some pretty prestigious company, with the likes of “Moon River” (from 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) “The Way We Were” (from 1973’s “The Way We Were”), “Evergreen” (from 1976’s “A Star Is Born”), “You Light Up My Life” (from 1977’s “You Light Up My Life”), “A Whole New World” (from 1992’s “Aladdin”) and “My Heart Will Go On” (from 1997’s “Titanic”).Bravo, Billie and Finneas.

Billie Eilish (22) and Finneas O’Connell (26) made history on Sunday night at the Oscars as they became the youngest two-time winners ever, taking home the golden statue for the somber Barbie hit “What Was I Made For?” in the Original Song category. 

Imagine being just 22 years old and having two Academy Awards trophies somewhere in your apartment (or mansion). Welcome to Billie Eilish‘s life.

Billie Eilish said she “had a nightmare” about winning her second Oscar as she and brother Finneas picked up their latest trophy at tonight’s (March 10) event.The pair won the award for Best Original Song for ‘What Was I Made For?’, their contribution to the soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.The victory followed the sibling musicians winning their first Oscar in 2022 for their Bond theme, ‘No Time To Die’.“I had a nightmare about this last night,” Eilish began before pausing and seemingly reconsidering sharing more of that anecdote. “Thank you so much to the Academy.

Billie Eilish and Finneas are bringing their Barbie theme to life on the 2024 Oscars stage.

Billie Eilish delivered a powerful performance of “What Was I Made For?” at the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday night.
