For those who didn't grow up in the early 2000s, it can be difficult to spot the trends which came from that decade. For example, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The series, which starred Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly, garnered billions in dollars at the box office, and kickstarted both Bloom's and Knightly's careers.

Come to think of it, I was madly in love with Bloom for years upon seeing the films. I've since grown out of that phase. But one individual who seemed oblivious to who Bloom was, is none other than singer/songwriter, Billie Eilish.


This month, the multi-Grammy winner's documentary, Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry,was released on Apple TV+ and examines the singer's rise to fame. The documentary by R.J. Cutler has fans completely in awe of Eilish, not only for her immense talent, but also her oblivion to who Bloom was before fiancé Katy Perry introduced the two at Coachella.

It was Eilish's brother FINNEAS, who informed his sister of Bloom's resume, after looking him up on Google.

"That guy?" Billie asked. "That was him? No way! Bring him back! I wanna meet him again. He kissed me on the cheek!"

Not everyone was a Will Turner fan - which was Bloom's character in Pirates of the Caribbean. It's definitely a choice one must make on their own. In addition to Eilish meeting Bloom, she was also introduced to Justine Bieber, whom she declared as her "first love" in the documentary.

"It's moments like tonight where I'm reminded what I mean to people," Bieber wrote in a text message to Eilish, which she reads at the end of the doc. "You love for me touched my heart. You are so special. Not for what you can do, but for who you are. Remember that."

In the interview, Sawyer is seen berating Spears about her public breakup from Justin Timberlake, belittling the popstar to tears.

Bieber sent the message to Eilish after she won five Grammys in 2020.

In addition to being able to meet her inspirations, the doc follows Eilish as she navigates life at just 17, while simultaneously writing and recording her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Some critics have compared the documentary to the Britney Spears Hulu doc, Framing Britney Spears, partially because it depicts a teenage girl's rise to fame within the music industry, as well as its challenges.

Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry is now available to steam on Apple TV+.

Can tech help female entrepreneurs break the bias?

Women founders continue to come up against common challenges and biases - solving this problem is bigger than supporting women, it’s about supporting the national economy.

Women founders continue to come up against common challenges and biases

Written by Kelly Devine, Division President UK & Ireland, Mastercard

Starting a business may have historically been perceived as a man’s game, but this couldn’t be further from reality. Research shows women are actually more likely than men to actively choose to start their own business – often motivated by the desire to be their own boss or to have a better work-life balance and spend more time with their family.

How am I doing as a parent?

Evaluating yourself is hard. It's even harder when attempting to assess your parenting because there's no set guide and nothing to count, measure, or quantify.

How am I doing as a parent?

Some time ago, I met my lovely friend for a drink, straight off the train from London. She told me about a very intense performance review she had at work recently, which, although scary, was incredibly useful; it gave her a general sense of how she was doing and areas to work on.

And it struck me we don't get this feedback as parents. Am I doing a good job? I have no idea.
