Billie Eilish picked up Best TV Performance for her role in Swarm at the People's Choice Awards on Sunday, but she wasn't thrilled about the guest list at the ceremony. In a clip circulating on social media, Eilish is seen sitting at a table with Kylie Minogue when she leans over and appeared to whisper: "There's some like… TikTokers here." She put her hand over her mouth when she said "TikToker" and discreetly pointed them out to Minogue. She then visibly shakes her head and says something like, "I don't need it." It's not clear who she was referring to, but there were plenty of influencers at the event, including Tana Mongeau, Chris Olsen, Gigi Gorgeous, Alix Earle, and James Charles, among others.

Chris Brown claims he was disinvited from playing in this weekend's NBA All-Star Game due his domestic violence history. He posted screenshots of emails on his Instagram Story that seemed to back up the story. One is titled “NBA All-Star 2024 Welcome x Chris Brown” and read “We are thrilled that you will be part of the weekend!” Another showed the blue uniform he'd be wearing as part of Lil Wayne's team. “I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors, like RUFFLES,” Brown wrote. “At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f—ing past.” Ruffles and the NBA later responded, saying the company had no part in "any player decisions or celebrity invite discussions” as a sponsor.
Vogue announced yesterday that this year's Met Gala will take place on May 6th, co-chaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth. The event will coincide with the Metropolitan Museum Of Art Costume Institute's "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" exhibit. The dress code theme is 'The Garden Of Time,' which Vogue described as having "nothing to do with the Brothers Grimm or Disney," but "a celebration of clothing and fashion so fragile that it can't ever be worn again — and are therefore sleeping beauties in the scrupulously maintained archives of The Costume Institute." The Met Gala, which always takes place on the first Monday of May, is one of the biggest nights of the year for fashion and Hollywood. The guest list is invitation-only and all A-listers.
