"This is my parents' bed and I sleep in here because I am scared of monsters in my bedroom," says Billie Eilish , as the camera focuses on her face. The trailer for The World's a Little Blurry is interspersed with images of the young woman, with blue hair, sometimes green, playing with her brother, recording a song or speaking about love. Then there are shots of the young singer asking her mother why she must cope instead of simply "missing people," and another one telling her audience how important it is to live in the moment: "Are you guys okay?

A PREGNANT woman who couldn't find a comfortable outfit to wear to a friend's 30th stunned friends and family by stepping out in a dressing gown. Bree, 26, from Adelaide, Australia, picked up the chic midnight blue kimono for just £11.25 (AU$20/US $15.79) at the Australian chain Kmart , dubbing it her "new evening wear". She draped the gown over her body and styled it with statement earrings, heels and a belt, which sat nicely above her burgeoning bump. To complete the dressy look, she opted for a sleek high ponytail, which sat on her right shoulder for the photos, which she later shared on Facebook. Pretty impressed with how her outfit came together, Bree - who is already mum to one - shared snaps in a popular Australian Facebook group and said: “Kmart sleepwear is my new ‘evening wear’.

Global human rights watchdog Amnesty International said on Wednesday that Ocean Lotus, a group with ties to the Vietnamese government, has been involved in hacking attacks targeting activists and an NGO.
