00:08Plus, she reacts to the traumatizing experience when fans found out her address.
00:15Hey guys, it's Allie for Hollywood Life with your pop star roundup starting with Logic.
00:20And we know he's a rapper, but he has tons of pop fans, so YOLO.
00:25Anyway, TMZ reports he's getting ready to say I do to his fiancée, Brittany Noel.
00:30The site says they went to a courthouse earlier this month and got a marriage license.
00:33Though TBD, whether they'll make it a fish, or if they already have.
00:38Now moving on to Billie Eilish, because she just sat down with our sister site, Rolling Stone, for the latest installment of First Time.
00:45She starts the interview describing the first song she wrote with her brother Phineas called Bellyache,
00:49which apparently happened in their friend's garage.
00:52But ever since then, she and her brother have been writing partners, and they've been doing a hell of a good job.
00:57At one point, she pulled out her phone to show a screaming crowd at her Portland show.
01:02She explained she knows how fortunate she is to have such massive success, acknowledging that she's very lucky.
01:08However, her rise to fame wasn't easy.
01:10As a kid, she was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome and had severe separation anxiety growing up.
01:15She also has synesthesia, where her brain blends together different senses.
01:19She said that's why she calls her brother an orange triangle, saying she gives every person she knows a color, shape, and number in her head.
01:27She also explained after her family's home address was leaked online, fans started showing up, including a creepy older guy who'd driven from San Diego.
01:36For a while, she had a bodyguard sleep in their living room, saying it was really traumatizing.
01:40Sounds awful.
01:41And ever since her career took off, Billie said her nightmares have gotten way more intense.
01:45She actually had to stop watching horror movies because everything started to flip her out.
01:50She started to see creatures outside her windows and even had sleep paralysis.
01:55In fact, she said she still jumps the last few feet into her bed just in case there's a monster underneath.
02:00She detailed how she's so afraid of dark places like her closet or the garage at night.
02:04Billie also got really candid about her depression.
02:07She said it started with a dance injury when she was 13, adding it sent her down a hole, and that's when she started to self-harm.
02:15She recalled,
02:15Billie later said she still struggles today, especially when dealing with fame and touring.
02:29She even talked about having panic attacks before her tours, confessing her anxiety was so bad she used to throw up.
02:35However, the singer started seeing a therapist and said she plans to take more time off.
02:40She also said she's in such a good place with her mental health.
02:43In fact, she said 17 has probably been the best year of her life and that she hasn't been depressed in a minute, which is awesome.
