COULD this glamorous YouTuber be Billie Eilish’s new lover?

The What Was I Made For singer was pictured grabbing gorgeous influencer Quenlin Blackwell and planting a smacker square on her lips while letting her hair down at Coachella festival in California.

Billie, who told last year that she is attracted to both men and women, was caught on video getting close to Quenlin, who is openly bisexual.

Billie is also now using her music to sing about her desires for the fairer sex, too.

She threw a party at the festival where new songs from her upcoming album Hit Me Hard And Soft were played by the DJ, including the suggestive track Lunch.

On the tune, she sings: “I could eat that girl for lunch, yeah, she dances on my tongue.

“Tastes like she might be the one and I can never get enough.

“I could buy you so much stuff, it’s a craving, not a crush.”

Good on her.

Other songs the DJ gave us snippets of ahead of the record’s release on May 17 included Chihiro and L’Amour De Ma Vie.

Billie addressed the subject of girls last year, saying: “I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”

Reflecting on the comments afterwards, she added: “I was like, ‘Oh, I guess I came out today!’

“I kind of thought, ‘wasn’t it obvious?’

“I didn’t realise people didn’t know.

“I just don’t really believe in it.

“I’m just like, ‘why can’t we just exist?’

“I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it.”

Billie also has also said her celeb crush was Stranger Things actress Maya Hawke, posting a snap of her online when asked about it by fans.

She has dated rocker Jesse Rutherford and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, but has never been romantically linked to a woman.

Billie, who joined Lana Del Rey on stage as a special guest during her headline set on Friday, said last year that she had been single for some time — but perhaps she will have something to tell us soon.

I’m sure there are plenty of men and women who would love to land a date with her.

HURT IN ONE NEL OF A FALL

NELLY Furtado was left bleeding and bruised following a painful tumble on stage.

She joined DJ Dom Dolla during his set to join in on their 2023 collaboration Eat Your Man, but ended up eating the ground instead.

Thankfully she quickly recovered and got back up to continue her performance, but showed off her injuries afterwards.

Sharing picture above of her bloodied thumb on Instagram, Nelly wrote: “Literally left it all on stage, including my blood.”

Hopefully the I’m Like A Bird singer will fare better when she headlines London’s Mighty Hoopla festival in June.

Kim Petras, Artful Dodger, Cher Lloyd and B*Witched will also play the event on June 1, while Jessie Ware is headlining the next day.

Artists including Rita Ora, Delta Goodrem, Cat Burns and Alison Goldfrapp are on the bill too.

The Man in Black makes comeback

I REVEALED last week how Will Smith was working on a huge publicity drive to get him back into the spotlight after that Oscars slap.

And first up was a turn on stage with Latin megastar J Balvin.

Will joined J as he sung Men In Black from 1997, even dressing as his film character Agent J.

As well as bringing out Will as a surprise, J put on the best staging of the weekend – which included an eerie UFO and a mechanical praying mantis.

J is coming to play a huge show at London’s O2 Arena on June 5, with some tickets for the gig still available.

After witnessing what he did at Coachella, I can’t wait to see what he’s bringing to his O2 show.

SUKI STILL SU-KEEN ON ROB

A BABY can put pressure on any relationship, but Suki Waterhouse is still singing the praises of boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

The actress and singer has just released song My Fun, in which she waxes lyrical about the Twilight actor, after giving birth to their daughter last month.

Suki, who played the festival on Friday, sings: “God, it feels good to find someone who loves me, who loves me like I love my fun.

“So strip off your clothes, step into the sea, skinny dip tripping where no one sees.”

She continues: “God, you’re so pretty I fell to the floor. You helped me back up and kissed my lips sore.

“Pack up your bags and head out the door, never felt so damn turned on before.

“Everyone said I’m too crazy to keep, but you’re the one who sweeps me off of my feet.”

If only my boyfriend was so glowing about me.


SHAKIRA used her surprise performance to announce her first tour in six years.

She said on stage alongside Bizarrap: “Thank you for inviting me, Bizarrap. I am finally going on tour. Starting here this November, this year in this city.

“I can’t wait. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.”

Do us a favour and bring it here too, Shakira.

KESH NOT FEELIN’ IT FOR DIDDY

KESHA took a swipe at P Diddy after he was hit with allegations of sexual abuse.

She made a surprise appearance with Renee Rapp, both pictured, at the event on Sunday, where she performed her 2010 hit TiK ToK, but changed the lyrics.

On the original, she sang: “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy.”

But she instead sang: “Wake up in the morning like, f*** P Diddy.”

The rapper has denied any wrongdoing after his homes were raided as part of an investigation into alleged sex trafficking.

He might want to take that tune off his playlist, then…

Itt’s… Doja!

SOMETHING tells us Doja Cat has been watching a bit of the Addams Family on telly – because she dressed a lot like Cousin Itt at Coachella.

The US singer wore this long blonde wig and hairy boots for part of her headline set, and even roped in a load of yeti-style dancers to join her.

Doja changed stage outfit multiple times, also wearing a furry white thong and a Breaking Bad-style boiler suit and gloves.

The changes in her set didn’t go down as well with the crowd though.

Like with Blur, some moaned that Doja missed out some of her biggest songs from her 21-track set, including Kiss Me More, Woman and No Say So.

There was also an encore of, erm, Wet Vagina, a song which pokes fun at the Kardashian sisters.

Hopefully she didn’t bump into Kendall Jenner in the VIP area, as that could have been very awkward.

TEMS was joined during her set by very special guests Justin Bieber and Wizkid.

The Nigerian singer welcomed them on stage while performing Wizkid’s 2020 song Essence, which she featured on.

Justin’s appearance gave hope that he might soon return to music.

He axed his 2022 tour for the good of his health but it sounds like he is in much better shape now.


GRIMES apologised after delivering what has been dubbed the worst set in Coachella’s history.

The Canadian did a DJ stint but was beset by technical issues and ended up screaming into a mic.

She later said on X: “I want to apologise.

“This was one of the first times I’ve outsourced essential things like rekordbox bpm’s and letting someone else organise the tracks on the sd card etc.”

DAMON FURY AT POSEY PUNTERS

I’M backing Damon Albarn for calling out the bores in the crowd.

He performed with Blur at the first weekend of the festival and put on a decent 13-song set with classics including The Narcissist and Popscene.

But while us Brits watching the gig at home loved it, Americans in the crowd didn’t seem so keen.

And it wasn’t long until Damon had had enough and mocked them from the stage.

As he tried to start a singalong to their 1994 classic Girls & Boys, Damon was met by a stony silence, so shouted at them: “You’re never seeing us again so you might as well f***ing sing it, know what I’m saying?”

I do, Damon. And I’d not bother going back either.

I’ve seen Blur live twice over here and they were absolutely brilliant both times.

Not all acts translate well in the US and clearly Blur couldn’t be further from the Coachella in-crowd, which is mostly made up of vain influencers who turn up simply to show off on Instagram, not listen to the songs.

Stick to Glastonbury and decent British festivals, Damon, where fans are in it for the love of music – not the love of likes.


SALTBURN’s Barry Keoghan was in the crowd to cheer on his singer girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter – but he looked most excited to bump into Stormzy.

He shared this snap online of him and the rapper, at the festival as a punter with girlfriend Maya Jama.

Barry’s mask was to protect him from the dust at the Empire Polo Club venue, which gets festival-goers’ clogged up.

Waking up with a dry mouth after a big night out is bad enough, without that too.
