In a surprise appearance at the ASCAP Awards in Beverly Hills Thursday night, Julia Roberts introduced Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connor, the 17- and 21-year-old brother and sister team who were being honored with the performing rights organization’s Visionary Award.
“Julia Roberts?” said Eilish. “Geesh. The baddest bitch around.”
Eilish, obviously one of the youngest writers ever to be singled out by ASCAP for a special award, if not the youngest, said she felt “appreciated for not just being a brand, but actually creating something and writing it especially for us.”
The duo’s parents were on hand, and O’Connor thanked their mother for buying him a ticket to the ASCAP Expo, an annual conference aimed at...
"I feel like every comment on my YouTube stuff is that I'm under-rated—which is very sweet and endearing—but I don't feel like this is necessarily true," FINNEAS told Newsweek, laughing. "I feel like my rating is fine."

CLEVELAND, Ohio – After giving fans a rapid-fire rhyme display on “Newsroom 2,” Machine Gun Kelly is softening things up a bit.
Kellz posted a surprise cover Billie Eilish’s song “Ocean Eyes.” If you don’t know who Eilish is, that basically means you’re not cool.
The electropop star topped the Billboard charts with her massive debut studio album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” back in March and was all the rage at this year’s Coachella.
“Ocean Eyes” is from Eilish’s 2017 release “don’t smile at me.” MGK’s version is a bit more rock-driven but still finds the emcee emo crooning his heart out.
Machine Gun Kelly’s new album “Hotel Diablo” is out next month.
