We love Billie Eilish and so do her fans, but they were NOT happy Thursday when she had to scoot on by them, denying them the opportunity to take selfies and get autographs from the emo-pop star at a Jimmy Kimmel Live taping.
Eilish was all smiles before fans turned on her! After refusing to sign autographs, a group of "fans" lost their cool and began booing and shouting expletives at the 17-year-old. One fan even shouted, "I hope you lose at the Grammys!" Ouch!
Billie recovered, though, and gave a great appearance on the show. She talked about being the youngest artist EVER (she's 17) nominated in all of the top four categories ... and two more. She also talked to Jimmy about dealing with fame, trying to be present, going on tour, her friendship with singer Jessie Reyez. Watch!

It's most dudes' favorite day of the year after the Super Bowl, but it's OVER! The Victoria's Secret annual runway show is no more ... L Brands, the parent company of the lingerie powerhouse, announced on Thursday that it would no longer hold the fashion show this holiday season.
On a call with press, the company's CFO Stuart Burgdoerfer said of the future of the glittery, sexy event, "We’ll be communicating to customers, but nothing that I would say is similar in magnitude to the fashion show." He went on: "We think it’s important to evolve the marketing of Victoria’s Secret."
In the post-MeToo era, the company announced in May that it would no longer broadcast the show, but in on yesterday's earnings call, it was the first time VS confirmed the total cancellation.
Consumers have come to see Victoria's Secret as an encapsulation of the very thing society is now working against -- the objectification of women as sex objects. Sales have been plummeting, there are a host of new competitors in the market, and the company's longtime CEO Leslie Wexner had STRONG ties to Jeffrey Epstein. It's basically all bad for VS right now, so what can they do to turn the company around? THAT remains to be seen ...

Justin's getting SERIOUS about preparation for the release of new music in time for the holidays! The singer hit the dance studio for like the 89th day in a row -- but seriously, he's been there a LOT recently. Biebs is prepping to release a new album before the end of the year and no doubt he'll at least be doing some performances in support of the release and maybe even a mini-tour!
Meanwhile, Justin was celebrating some new bling on his Instagram Story yesterday -- a MASSIVE diamond ring from former "Sorry" collaborator, Latin star J Balvin. Why'd Balvin gift Justin with this ice right now? Could it mean the two have a collab coming on Justin's new album???
But keeping his head out of the clouds and feet firmly on the ground, Justin is sticking to his worship routine despite being busy with everything else. Wife Hailey skipped Hillsong service last night, but not JB -- he was there, decked out in his Drew House finest ...

Victoria Beckham is taking on Kylie Jenner! The fashion maven/former Spice Girl is launching Victoria Beckham Beauty and no doubt she's hoping for a big win in the makeup space, like Kylie's recent sale of a majority stake in her empire to Coty for $600 million. Hey, why not go for the gold?!
Posh stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday afternoon to talk about her new business venture AND to talk about her kids trick-or-treating at Justin Bieber's house where he was giving out snow cones; she and hubby David hoping her kids' friends don't steal their expensive art off the walls when they come over to hang out; and of course the benefits of moisturizing as it relates to Kimmel's scaly skin. Whew, that's a lot to cover! Check it out ...
Could she be a new romantic interest for Brad Pitt?! The actor was spotted hanging out (on a day date?) with Arrested Development's Alia Shawkat at the Wilding Cran Gallery over the weekend for the Martin Werthmann exhibit.
The hipsters -- ages 55 and 30, respectively, were welcomed by EU strategist Meral Melika Duran who posted pictures of Pitt and Shawkat at the exhibit. The two were also seen at dinner together the same day and were also spotted at comedian Mike Birbiglia’s show last month, where they posed for a selfie backstage which was posted to an account that has now been deleted (damn!).

If there's one thing Justin digs right now, it's his wheels -- whether it be his fast motocross motorcycle or his also speedy ebike. And just as with his skateboard, Bieber is pretty adept at tricks on two wheels, too!
