Trending on Billboard

Halle Bailey takes Tetris out for a vegan lunch at H.O.P.E. Healthy Organic Positive Eating! While nibbling, they chat about the highs and lows of her first solo album, ‘Love? Or Something Like It,’ new collaborations with her girls, the legacy of ‘The Little Mermaid’ and growing up in the industry. 

Halle Bailey:

Hi! Welcome! 

Tetris Kelly:

Thanks for hanging out with me today. 

Of course, thanks for having me here. 

It’s like, what they know about you, we’re about to find out, okay? All right, Ms. Bailey, tell me about H.O.P.E. What is your connection to this restaurant? 

Oh my goodness, okay. So, I was vegan when I first moved out to California about, oh my gosh, like, 14 years ago now. Geez, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here!

You’re a local now!

I was vegan for 13 years, but now I’m not anymore. When I got pregnant, I wanted to eat meat. But this place? I still go to this place. I swear by it—it’s so good. So, the fact that we’re here today is really freaking awesome, so thanks.

I love that. And then you said that when you got pregnant, you wanted meat. What was the first thing you needed so badly? 

I needed… Oh, why are we saying this in this restaurant? 

Oh, sorry.

It was Chick-fil-A nuggets. 

You’re right, you’re right. Okay, I just needed to know—for my own research. I needed to know what the item was. Hey, how’s it going? 

Waitress:

Hi! Great!

Okay, so can we please start with your spring rolls, then your green curry dumplings, and your Muay Thai wings, because I want him to try it just to see. 

Waitress:

Of course. 

Keep watching for more!

Nora Fatehi Gets Ready For the All That Glitters Diwali Ball 2025 | Red Carpet Ready

Trending on Billboard

Nora Fatehi brings Billboard behind the scenes as she gets into glam for the All That Glitters Diwali Ball 2025. She shares memories of past Diwali events, details on her new music, a secret collaboration coming and much more. 

Nora Fatehi:

There’s a Diwali bash happening in London, then there’s one in New York, one in Mumbai, and even one in Dubai. It’s literally like bus, bus, club, another club, no sleep, no sleep! That’s exactly what it feels like, I swear to God. You know, you get FOMO—you don’t want to miss out.

Oh, hi Billboard! It’s your girl Nora Fatehi, and you’re joining me as I get ready for the All That Glitters Diwali Ball. Are you ready? Come on, let’s go! How am I feeling today? Well, I’m totally jet-lagged. I just hopped off a flight straight from London into this hotel room, ready to glam up. Sure, I’m tired, but I’m actually super excited. This is the second time I’m attending the All That Glitters Diwali bash. I was here last year, but back then I was performing. Happy Diwali to everyone! This year, I get to actually have fun and party. Last year was so much pressure—I was so nervous! I had just recovered from severe ankle injuries, and it was my first performance since my recovery. It was a lot, but the reception and excitement from the audience were amazing. Just to see Anjula Acharia work the room and bring so many people under one roof was incredible. It wasn’t just a room full of South Asians—everyone was there. It was a really special moment where I felt like people were coming together, and it felt so sentimental. I’m so excited to meet everyone and see everyone’s outfits tonight. I feel like that’s one of the highlights of this ball—the incredible looks. This is the time of year when you truly feel like everyone is coming together. Diwali is all about celebrating light over evil and darkness; it symbolizes the beginning of light. Right now, with everything happening in the world, it’s such an important moment to celebrate positivity, lightness, gratitude, and togetherness. It’s something I don’t want to miss. I’ve lived in India for 10 years, and every year we celebrate Diwali. It’s such a beautiful tradition!
