Billie Eilish is working on "something very, very special" with James Cameron. The What Was I Made For? hitmaker explained to fans at her show at Co-op Live in Manchester, north England on Saturday (19.07.25) that the evening was being filmed for her mystery collaboration with the Avatar filmmaker. She said on stage: 'So you may have noticed there's like more cameras than usual. 'Basically I can't say much about it, but what I can say is that I'm working on something very, very special with James Cameron.' While Billie declined to offer any specific details, she did confirm the project "is gonna be in 3D". James was in attendance at the concert, and Billie suggested filming will continue during her other three shows at the venue. She added: "You and me are part of the thing that I'm making with him. Also, I'll probably be wearing this exact outfit for like four days in a row.' Earlier this year, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande have revealed they hope to collaborate on music when the Bad Guy hitmaker interviewed the 31-year-old star about her film Wicked at a screening of the blockbuster musical in Los Angeles. Towards the end of the Q+A, Ariana told Billie they need to hit the studio together. Billie accidentally said: 'OK, a few more songs. And then we go, because we're only allowed a few more songs. Did I say songs? Oh my God. I meant questions. I'm on tour, you guys. I'm used to saying that. Sorry.' Prompting Ariana to respond: 'We do need to do that, though." Billie agreed: 'I would love to do that." Ariana explained that Billie was at the top of her wish-list to join her on the sofa for the chat, but she didn't expect her to be able to do it due to her hectic schedule, so she was 'so nervous'. She said: 'My team was like: Who would be a cool person to do this? Who's your dream person? 'I was like, Billie, [but] she's not gonna say yes. She's too busy. She's too fabulous. It's too much. But she said yes, and I was like, 'Oh, s***.' Now I'm so nervous.'

‘It's not just boys that are playing': 2-day camp introduces 40 girls to golf
A two-day golf camp for young girls at Victoria Golf Course on Thursday and Friday taught participants the basics of the sport, from swing techniques to the spirit of the game. 'I'm not hitting the ball every single time.… That's a part of golf,' one new golfer, Ariana, told CTV News Edmonton. Paul Horton, who has won and been nominated for some of Canada's highest teaching awards and now coaches at Golf Channel Academy in Calgary, ran the clinic. 'It's not just boys that are playing,' he said. 'There's an increase of girls playing golf, and we're just trying to make it fun so that it's more accessible to the kids – whether it be boys or girls.' Most of the 40 participants were newbies. They told CTV News Edmonton the sport was fun to learn how to play, but that they also enjoyed making friends. 'It's really fun because you don't have to worry about being judged. You can just do it and they're here to help you,' Ariana said. 'It gets easier as you keep on going and learning how to do it,' said another participant, Amelia. On both days, they practiced drives, putts and chipping. On the second day, they held a long drive contest and played a couple of holes on the course. Some, like Quinn, who golfs with her family, were there for more practice. 'My favorite thing about golf is when you use the driver and the ball just flies in the air. It just makes me feel free and happy,' she said. The camp is put on by Golf Town and was sponsored by Cobra Golf, which provided a set of clubs for each participant to take home after the camp. Golf Town also put on camps in Calgary and Toronto, and is considering expanding to more cities in the future, said Horton, who is an ambassador for the brand. 'It's been a long time for me, but I still enjoy what I do, and it gives me great joy (seeing) the smiles on the faces and the faces light up after they hit a good shot,' he told CTV News Edmonton. 'It's all about the joy of exploring. Sometimes it's just one shot that gets somebody hooked to the game.' With files from CTV News Edmonton's Nahreman Issa

'Divine' perfume that's 'the most complimented ever' slashed by 50% at Boots
Ariana Grande seems to have another perfume hit on her hands. Vanilla-based perfumes have become all the rage recently. For those who don't want to wade through all the bottles on offer, we know one that is said to be "the most complimented ever." Some might think it is a luxury brand, but it is instead a celebrity fragrance, with LOVENOTES Vanilla Suede by Ariana Grande being lauded in reviews as a "new favourite" by devoted fans. Fans of the Wicked star who have been wanting to try it out can do so for less, as a decent-sized 125ml bottle has been reduced at Boots from £75 to £37.50 - a staggering 50 percent saving off the RRP. Before we get into the perfume itself, it is worth noting that the LOVENOTES collection was only launched by Ariana in 2024 as a "love letter to the world", with the vanilla-based scent being an exclusive to the UK only. The Vanilla Suede perfume is said to be a "richly sensorial fragrance" that clings to the wearer like a "second skin", with many positive shoppers saying they can still smell it on their clothes "days" after the first spritz. LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande Vanilla Suede, 125ml £75 £37.50 Boots Buy here Product Description The fragrance opens on sparkling notes of Italian bergamot before developing into an "intimate warmth" with creamy sandalwood and rice milk. The vanilla bean and musk at the end are said to push the fragrance into a "skin-like appeal." Another popular fragrance that places a heavy focus on vanilla is the iconic YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum (50ml) that is also on offer at Boots, with it now costing £55.20, down from £69. Over at the Perfume Shop, an 80ml bottle of Carolina Herrera's Good Girl Blush costs £75, and it's another scent that boasts vanilla-heavy notes, alongside the likes of ylang-ylang and rose. Despite being relatively new to the market, LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande Vanilla Suede has already earned a 4.5 rating from devoted fans who have advised that it is ideal for "any age" and always get compliments "every single time." One five-star review read: "Unlike some other perfumes, I could actually smell this one on myself and randomly got hit with the wonderful smell at least 2/3 times an hour. I smelt this one on my clothes for days even after washing them. The smell itself is lovely, it's sweet but also has vanilla. I love this and would recommend this to anyone of any age."

Get asked what I'm wearing every single time I wear it. Definitely one you need to wear to appreciate." Someone else praised: "I'm a huge fan if Ariana Grande and would ALL of her perfumes no matter their scent, but this one is just incredible and stands out from the rest of het perfumes! It is a very mature vanilla scent and lasts for a long time. You definitely get your moneys worth! Would 100 percent recommend!!!!" Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. One perfume fan did advise that it was a little too strong for them, writing: "Like it but it might be just a bit too strong for me." Although, more shoppers were impressed, as another wrote: "Theeee most sophisticated and mature ari fragrance! Definitely mod vanilla's older sister. So soft and delicate, and it lasts all day. I've already bought a second bottle because it was 20 percent off!" Purchase the LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande Vanilla Suede for £37.50, down from £75, at Boots now.
