Billie Eilish moves into X Factor winner’s £1.9m LA mansion after finally moving out of family home
SHE is worth an estimated £25million, has headlined Glastonbury and even written a Bond song.
So I’m sure Billie Eilish’s parents are glad she has finally used some of her cash to move out of the family home.
The No Time To Die singer, who is 21 but released her first single aged 15, has revealed she relocated out of the property in California where she has written and recorded much of her music, after deciding she wanted more independence.
She is believed to have moved into a £1.9million home in Los Angeles, previously owned by Leona Lewis, which Billie bought when she was 17.
She explained: “There was a moment over the summer where I was having an ‘I need to be an adult,’ moment.
“Like, ‘I need to have space and my own this and my own that’.

“I do need that in a lot of ways because you need that as you grow older, but then I’m now also like, ‘I like my parents being around’.
“I did move away. Now when I have a free night I go and hang out with my parents. That’s the first thing I think of doing.”
Despite being barely out of her teens, Billie has admitted she has been struggling recently with what her life has in store, given she has been so wildly successful so far.
Asked during a discussion on comic Conan O’Brien’s Needs A Friend podcast if she feels she has new battles to deal with, she said: “I’ve been drowning in a pool of that, recently. Just, like, how do I evolve and what do I do?

“I feel like for the last month I’ve been completely drowning.
“I achieved the kind of things, before I even was 18 — things that people work their entire lives for and maybe never even get.
“And one of the things that I achieved is like one thing someone gets at the end of their life. And I got all of them.
“I’m 21 now and I’m at a point where I’m like, I’ve done it all. What am I going to do now?”
“ Where do I go from here? Who do I want to be?’ ”
A wise-cracking night with Michael
IF the hits ever dry up for Michael Buble, he is a dead cert for a successful career in stand-up comedy.
The Canadian crooner cracks gags as well as he sings and had the packed-out O2 laughing between hits including Home, Haven’t Met You Yet and It’s A Beautiful Day.
Giggling after a particularly sexy rendition of hit single Higher, Michael – who referred to himself as “Christmas boy” – joked: “Don’t act like you can take it. You can’t handle my s**t. I am just so sexy.”
He added: “I am responsible for population growth. I don’t know what the population of London is but I know there will be plenty more of you after tonight. You will be making Buble-bies all night long.”
Covers of Barry White’s You’re The First, My Last, My Everything and Nat King Cole’s L-O-V-E made the evening even more romantic.
Special touches included dedicating a raft of songs to super-fan Sharon, who caught a towel Michael threw a towel into the crowd, and singing a birthday song to ten-year-old Madeleine, who was at her first Buble gig.
I hope the ace showman is doing this for years to come.
Gaga's hot lip service
LADY GAGA has always been one to shock, but it looked like she gave this woman more than she bargained for when she homed in for a snog.
The superstar has been filming in New York for upcoming movie Joker: Folie A Deux and locked lips with a fellow actor for a scene.
She is playing Harley Quinn, the crazed lover of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, and a newspaper prop from the set shows that their romance will be front page news in the fictional city of Gotham.
There are high expectations for Gaga, who is taking over the role from Margot Robbie.
The Aussie actress played the character in two Suicide Squad movies, but won’t be involved in this film.
The sequel to the 2019 hit is due to be released in October next year and it is estimated that filmmakers are spending a whopping £120million making it.
Gaga, who celebrates her birthday today, will be getting a decent pay packet from that sum, no doubt.
Jungle blaze trail
JUNGLE are following up their hit 2021 album Loving In Stereo with a record called Volcano.
The duo – Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, released the first single Candle Flame last night ahead of the album’s release on August 11.
They said: “We wanted to create a song that was personal and relatable, exploring the highs and lows of love and relationships in a way that was both poetic and authentic.”
Roses are Reg
ALL is rosy for Rege-Jean Page since Bridgerton, including this suit.
The actor – aka the Duke of Hastings in the first series of the hit Netflix drama – wore the beige outfit with floral motifs to the LA premiere of his new film Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, which is out on Friday.
He was joined on the red carpet by co-star Chris Pine decked out in green.
It was a big weekend for Chris, after it was revealed he will star in Disney’s upcoming animation Wish.
Ariana DeBose will also feature in the musical, which tells how the star which Disney characters famously wish upon first came to be.
Mae will save best for last
UK Eurovision entry Mae Muller has admitted she initially felt sick on discovering she will be singing last at the event.
But the pop star, who will perform I Wrote A Song at the contest in Liverpool, is now raring to go.
She said: “Once I got over the initial nausea of, ‘I’ve got to watch every other person smash it and then I’ve got to go on’, I was like, going last is actually a blessing and what an opportunity.
“I had to get over the fear. Now I’m like, I’m going to shut it down and end on a high.”
I told last week how Mae has completed her debut album, which will get a big push after Eurovision in May.
Confirming my story, she said: “The album is coming. The album is done and the cover art is done.
“I’m so excited. I’m so proud of it and I think it really shows a different side.
“I’m being a bit more vulnerable on there and obviously I love the sassiness and the empowerment but I think there’s a lot of empowerment in being vulnerable sometimes.
“I’m showing that a little bit more and I’m really excited to share it.”
Kelly has Chemistry
KELLY CLARKSON will tell all about the breakdown of her marriage in a new album.
She has revealed the record – her first non-Christmas release since 2017 – will be out later this year and is to be called Chemistry.
The Stronger singer split from talent manager Brandon Blackstock, the father of her two kids, in 2020 after eight years together.
In a video on Instagram, she said: “I’ve been working on this project for close to three years now.
“I wasn’t sure I was going to release it, but I am. The album is called Chemistry.
“I was trying to find a word that really described the whole thing.
“I didn’t want everybody to think I was just coming out with some,
‘I’m angry,’ ‘I’m sad’ – just one or two emotions.
“This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship.”
Nat's back on track
THERE have already been comebacks from Noughties favourites S Club 7 and Busted this year – and now another star is preparing to return.
I’ve learned that Natasha Bedingfield is working on new music after her classic tunes went viral on TikTok.
She had hits including These Words, Unwritten and I Wanna Have Your Babies during her heyday in the Noughties.
Now she has been working on more songs, this time with Angelique Cinelu, who helped write the soundtrack for Oscar-winning film La La Land.
A music insider said: “Natasha has been hard at work in LA in the hope she will have some songs out this year. There is an eye on releasing an album in 2024 but at the moment she is just enjoying the process.
“The music so far is really bright and optimistic. In lockdown she gained a massive following on TikTok and there is so much love for her old songs, so it feels like the right time to return.”

Natasha put out three albums between 2004 and 2010 then had a long break before releasing 2019’s Roll With Me.
She returns to the stage this June when she performs at the Mighty Hoopla festival in South London’s Brockwell Park.
