Julia Roberts is known for her charm both on- and off-screen. But even Hollywood's sweetheart has had her share of co-stars she couldn't stand—most infamously, Nick Nolte. The Julia Roberts-Nick Nolte feud is one of the most notorious in 1990s film history, and it all started on the set of I Love Trouble .
Julia Roberts discussed their rocky relationship in a 1993 interview with The New York Times . Julia Roberts: 'We Got on Each Other's Nerves'
'From the moment I met him, we gave each other a hard time—and naturally, we got on each other's nerves,'
Describing Nolte as 'completely disgusting,' she added, '[Even though he can be] utterly charming and very nice, he's also completely disgusting. He seems to go out of his way to repel people.'
Nolte didn't hold her in high esteem either. However, they've seemingly moved past the feud. 'What happened was just nonsense. Part of it was my fault, and part of it was hers,' Nolte admitted in a 2022 Business Insider interview. 'Julia got married right as we started filming, and it was just a situation I didn't handle well.' I Love Trouble: What's the Movie About?
Released in 1994, I Love Trouble is a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts as Sabrina Peterson, an ambitious journalist, and Nick Nolte as Peter Brackett, a seasoned reporter for the Chicago Chronicle . Their paths cross while covering a mysterious train derailment. Despite clashing personalities and fierce rivalry, they are forced to team up to uncover a conspiracy involving a chemical company.
With a $45 million budget, the film grossed just $6 million worldwide but still won over some viewers. 'A delicious comedy, thanks to a wacky duo with contagious chemistry—you'll want to watch it again and again,' reads one Allociné review. Another adds: 'Excellent film! The lead duo is perfect. Comedy with action, humor, twists! Super entertaining!'
While I Love Trouble might not have stood the test of time, the Julia Roberts-Nick Nolte feud has. It remains one of the most talked-about examples of co-star friction in modern Hollywood.

A new celebrity romance appears to be in the works, with Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff spotted kissing on a hotel balcony in Italy this week, effectively confirming rumours of a relationship. The long-time friends are yet to confirm anything about their relationship, and likely won't be debuting anytime soon, following years of public scrutiny over the singer's personal life. In October of 2024, Eilish spoke to Vogue , declaring, 'I'm never talking about who I'm dating ever again.' This came almost two years after her very public relationship and breakup with singer Jesse Rutherford. Wolff, 30, has grown up in the entertainment industry just like Eilish, 23. He and his younger brother began acting at a young age, with the eldest Wolff having starred in projects such as The Fault in Our Stars , Paper Towns , and Death Note . The two brothers now largely focus on their music, performing as the duo Nat & Alex Wolff. The pair even joined Eilish on her tour last year. Ahead, we break down everything we know about the rumoured couple's relationship timeline. Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff's Full Relationship Timeline December 2023 Nat's brother, Alex, was the first to meet Eilish. The pair met at an Oscars party in March of 2023, before the 'Birds of a Feather' singer met Nat in December 2023. The latter two met at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles. Alex later told Variety , 'Billie and me and my brother, we all have Tourette's. And I think we have all bonded over that.' He continued, 'We know all the ways that we try to mute ourselves or try to chill ourselves out or soften ourselves for other people, and how nice it is to not have to do that for certain people.'

The weekend was documented on the sibling duo's Instagram and included images of Eilish receiving a piggy-back ride from Nat, as well as watching a performance sitting on his shoulders.

Eilish directed the video herself and shared cheerful photos with the actor/singer on her Instagram page. Nat Wolff and Billie Eilish / Image: September 2024 Wolff and his brother soon joined Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft tour as her opening act. The pair kicked off the tour with Eilish in Quebec and stayed on until December of that year. During this time, in an interview with Vogue , Eilish referred to the brother-duo as 'some of my best friends in the world.' Nat was also interviewed by the outlet and similarly gushed about the singer. 'She's one of those people where almost everything she does, she does better than everyone else,' he explained. 'You just have to kind of submit to the fact that she's going to be better than everyone else at everything.'

(Photo byfor Live Nation) March 2025 This year, the pair were spotted leaving the iHeart Music Video awards together on March 17. While the rumour mill had been churning prior, this is when speculation surrounding the two really amped up. A few days later, they were seen bar-hopping around the East Village in NYC, causing a source close to the pair to tell Page Six , 'They are close friends. Nothing more. Billie is affectionate with all of her friends.' June 2025 All speculation came to a head this weekend, June 7, when the pair were spotted enjoying champagne and kissing on a balcony in Venice, Italy. And with that, we're all caught up… for now!

Sabrina Carpenter's New Album Cover Isn't Going Down Well With Fans
Sabrina Carpenter performs on stage during the Short N' Sweet Tour held at Madison Square Garden on September 29, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Rolling Stone via Getty Images) Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to a bit of controversy. Honestly, it's a part of her charm. Over the last year, her Short 'n' Sweet tour had many critics clutching their pearls, mostly due to her risqué outfits and tongue-in-cheek choreography that imitated some X-rated activities. Nonetheless, the singer remained undeterred, telling those who had a problem, 'Just don't come to the show.' Now, it looks like her latest album won't be bending to naysayers, and is already drawing criticism before even being released, thanks to some bold cover art. This Wednesday, June 11, the singer announced the upcoming release of her new album Man's Best Friend over Instagram. This reveal comes less than a week after the surprise drop of her single 'Manchild' (which will be on the album). Image via With the announcement, the pop star dropped what looks to be the album cover, which features her on all fours in a black mini dress and stilettos. A mostly off-camera suited figure looms over her, clutching a fistful of the singer's signature golden locks. Accompanying the cover reveal was a second image, featuring a close-up of a fluffy dog wearing a collar that read, 'Man's best friend.' But it isn't the latter image that fans are taking issue with. Carpenter's pop identity and predominantly female fan base have been built on an unapologetic embrace of female sexuality and empowerment. However, some feel this latest cover misses the mark, particularly considering the current state of political affairs and women's subjugation. 'This cover isn't landing the way you thought it would right now. The timing…' commented one fan. 'This better be the most feminist, woman empowering album ever with a cover like this, Sabrina,' said another.

(Photo by Christopher Polk/Rolling Stone via Getty Images) On the other hand, there were those fans who didn't see an issue. 'It's Sabrina Carpenter… her whole shtick is satire,' and 'Men treat women like dogs. That's the joke,' two supporters commented on the intended irony. Another stated, 'There's nothing wrong with the album cover in my opinion. She's an adult… she might actually be into it?' The context of the cover's controversy may be surmised by a comment from one fan on the supposed intentions behind the art, stating, 'Any irony is lost because the people who are supposed to be offended by this actually want this.' Carpenter's true intentions behind the cover choice will not be clear until the album drops this August. However, if the rest of the album is similar to Manchild, then 'dumb' but nonetheless 'sexy' men may be of note, in which case the reception of any intended irony may be blurred in today's climate.
