for Wednesday, May 27th.
♪ Though you've never seen my body ♪
♪ You still touch it. ♪
First up, Billie Eilish has
a very important message
for all her haters and body shamers.
You go girl.
I'll let Jordyn Rolling fill you in.
- [Jordyn] In Billie's latest release,
a short film titled,
"Not My Responsibility",
the pop star offers a
mesmerizing performance
stripping down and dunking
herself in a black goo
similar to what streams from
her face in the music video
for "When the Party's Over".
"If I wear what is comfortable,
I am not a woman", she says.
♪ If I shed the layers ♪
♪ I'm a slut. ♪
In the end, Billie asks, "Who
decides what that makes me,
"What that means?
"Is my value based only
on your perception?"
♪ Or is your opinion of me ♪
♪ Not my responsibility ♪
- Next up, ouch.
Poor Halsey is on the mend in quarantine.
- After you know, 2000 live
shows where I'm jumping around
for two hours, I finally
fractured my ankle
in the kitchen at my house.
- Yep, she broke it not while
being a rockstar like she is.
She did it while being domestic.
She told the bizarre story
and how it all went down
to Capital Breakfast.
- I was loading the dishwasher.
And I pulled the door down
to load the dishwasher.
And the kitchen floor was wet.
And I tripped over the dishwasher door.
- Oh and it gets worse.
So while responding to fans
about how she's recovering,
she also said she broke
two toes on her other foot.
Yeah, she tweeted, "So now I
have a cast on my left foot
"and two broken toes on the right.
"Waddling like a penguin."
Addressing her mishap on
Instagram, she posted a bikini pic
saying, "I took my brace off
my ankle because it was itchy
"and now I need to put it back."
And lastly, celebs are
speaking out after a video
of a Minnesota officer
suffocating a black man
by kneeling on his neck surfaced online.
It's very tragic, very heartbreaking.
And Jordyn Rolling has the details.
- [Jordyn] Floyd was arrested
in Minnesota on Monday
on suspicion of forgery.
In a viral clip shared by
Madonna, Justin Bieber,
and many others, the
unarmed Houston native
can be heard crying out
repeatedly that he cannot breathe
as a police officer kneels on his neck.
Floyd later died at the hospital.
Although on Tuesday
following public pressure,
the four officers involved were fired
with Minneapolis mayor,
Jacob Frey tweeting,
"This is the right call."
Many artists have spoken
out in support of Floyd,
asking for the never ending racism
in the United States to stop.
- All right, that is all for me.
