Katseye Cat-Fight Over Jessica Alba's ‘Gabriela' in Telenovela-Inspired Video
The girls of Katseye are leaning into the fake drama fans often pit them in for their new 'Gabriela' music video. On Friday, the six-piece group released the visual for their new single, which sees them fiercely competing to become the successor to a company CEO, played by Jessica Alba.
'It was the most fun we've ever had shooting a music video. We might all have scars from the fighting scenes, but it was so worth it,' Manon tells Rolling Stone. 'We were able to fully step into a new character and not be ourselves and just play on this little narrative that some people have of us, that we all hate each other. It was fun to make fun of that a little bit.'

'We were rehearsing those fighting scenes. We didn't even have to, but every day, in the middle of rehearsal, we would be like, 'Megan, come over here, I'm going to punch you,'' adds Sophia. 'We couldn't stop laughing.'
'We're fighting for our lives to not laugh,' continues Lara.
The video follows the members of Katseye as chaos unfolds, as the girls fight over who should become the next CEO of Alba's company. 'We were like, 'Wow, we're such good actresses.' And then Jessica Alba came in and this is a real actress,' says Sophia. 'This is her life, and when she came in, we were like, 'Shit, we all suck. That's acting.' We were all like, 'Period!''
After battling for the CEO position, the video spirals into a fever-dream-like sequence, with the group members fighting over a mannequin, throwing vases and food at each other in true telenovela fashion.
'I feel like the song is about paying homage to telenovelas and Latin culture and for me, it's honestly such a big opportunity,' says Daniela, who's Cuban, and sings the song's chorus en español. 'I feel very honored to be able to sing in my native language and just connect with our Latino fans and that community a little bit more.'
The video for 'Gabriela' comes a week before the group — comprising Lara, Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Yoonchae, and Megan — is set to release their sophomore EP, Beautiful Chaos, next Friday.

Trump just became first US president to drop the F-bomb on live TV. But he's not the first to be caught cursing
President Donald Trump on Tuesday became the first US president to intentionally drop an F-bomb on live TV when he told reporters that Israel and Iran 'have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f— they're doing.' His agitated comments followed a ceasefire between the two countries, which Israel claimed Iran violated just hours afterward. But while Trump might be the first president to drop the F-bomb in official comments to reporters on live TV, he's no stranger to public foul language. Before a national address on the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Trump was caught on a hot mic saying 'oh, f—' over a pen mark on his clothing. In 2018, he infamously called Haiti and African nations 's–thole countries' during an Oval Office meeting. In 2016, Trump dropped an F-bomb during his campaign rally, telling his supporters, 'We're gonna have businesses that used to be in New Hampshire that are now in Mexico. Come back to New Hampshire, and you can tell them to go f–k themselves.' He also faced backlash after a 2005 Access Hollywood recording surfaced before the 2016 election in which he claimed that when you're a 'star,' you can grab women 'by the p—y.' However, Trump isn't singular as a U.S. president caught cussing. During a January 2022 briefing, a hot mic picked up former President Joe Biden calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b—h.' Near the end of the event, Doocy called out, 'Do you think inflation is a political liability going into the midterms?" "No, it's a great asset," Biden snarked. "More inflation. What a stupid son of a b—h." It is unclear whether Biden realized his whisper was picked up by the microphone. Regardless, Doocy said the president called to apologize shortly after the briefing. And in 2010, as Barack Obama's vice president, Biden whispered at his historic health care signing, 'This is a big f–king deal.' In 2009, a hot mic caught President Barack Obama calling rapper Kanye West a 'jacka–' after he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. Obama also used profanity in a 2012 Rolling Stone interview, referring to his presidential opponent Mitt Romney as a "bulls–er." After being approached by a young fan, Obama joked that he did well with the younger demographic. "Thoughts on lowering the voting age?" the interviewer asked. 'You know, kids have good instincts. They look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bulls–ter, I can tell,'' Obama replied. Obama later admitted he likely swore more than he should, especially after becoming president. During his 2000 campaign, former President George W. Bush told his running mate, Dick Cheney, around an unknowingly hot mic that New York Times reporter Adam Clymer a 'major-league a–hole' Bush later joked about the incident, referring to Clymer as a "major-league in a taped message played at a press corps dinner. He also used the F-bomb multiple times in a 1999 interview with Tucker Carlson for Talk magazine. After Obama's 2008 South Carolina primary win over Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton compared it to the Rev. Jesse Jackson's 1980s wins, which Obama saw as racially charged. "I don't think I should take any s–t from anybody on that, do you?" Bill Clinton responded, reportedly not knowing anyone could hear him. When information leaked that the Air Force spent $5,000 on Jackie Kennedy's maternity suite at Otis Air Force Base in 1963, President John F. Kennedy predicted political backlash and angrily called it 'a f–k-up' during a phone call with a general. Known as "Give 'Em Hell Harry," President Truman's folksy language reflected his rough upbringing. He once called General Douglas MacArthur a "dumb son of a b—h" and Richard Nixon a "shifty-eyed godd—ed liar." President Andrew Jackson gifted his wife an African gray parrot named Poll, who picked up his foul language. At Jackson's 1845 funeral, Poll shocked attendees by loudly cursing. 'Before the sermon and while the crowd was gathering, a wicked parrot that was a household pet got excited and commenced swearing so loud and long as to disturb the people and had to be carried from the house,' funeral attendee Rev. William Menefee Norment once wrote. President Abraham Lincoln famously shared a story about Ethan Allen shocking English hosts with a crude joke involving a portrait of George Washington in an outhouse, as depicted in Spielberg's Lincoln. "There is nothing to make an Englishman shit quicker than the sight of General George Washington,' Lincoln reportedly said.

Bruce Springsteen Admits That 'Born in the U.S.A.' Was 'Not Necessarily' the Album He Was 'Interested in Making'
Bruce Springsteen said his hit album Born in the U.S.A. "was not necessarily" the record that he "had planned on" Springsteen will soon release a sprawling seven-album compilation of new music The compilation will include music recorded between 1983 and 2018Bruce Springsteen is admitting to once having doubts about his Grammy-nominated album Born in the U.S.A. Springsteen, 75, spoke candidly about the 1984 project in a June 19 interview with Rolling Stone ahead of the upcoming release of his seven-album compilation Tracks II: The Lost Albums. The compilation, which includes music recorded between 1983 and 2018, arrives on June 27. The "Dancing in the Dark" singer revealed that he recorded an entire album between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A., which made deciding on the track list for the latter album more difficult. "I enjoyed the recording and the experience of Nebraska, and thought I might continue in that vein with a small rhythm section, still very lo-fi, and a new group of songs," Springsteen told Rolling Stone, referring to his paired-back 1982 folk album Nebraska. "At the time, I wasn't sure where I was going with Born in the U.S.A. I had half the record, but I didn't have the other half. And so it was just a record that happened in between those two records." In part due to this unique recording process, Springsteen revealed in the liner notes for Born in the U.S.A. that he wasn't happy with the album upon its 1984 release. "It was a record I put out. It became the record I made, not necessarily the record that I was interested in making. I was interested in taking Nebraska and making a full record that had somewhat that same feeling," he elaborated. Springsteen continued, "If you hear 'My Hometown' and you hear 'Born in the U.S.A.,' they were sort of the bookends I intended. And the rest of the stuff was … just what I had at the time. Those were the songs I wrote. Those were the songs I recorded." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. He concluded by offering more insight into the creative process. "From conception to execution, it was not necessarily the record that in my mind I had planned on, but that's the way creativity works. You go in the studio, you have an idea. It's not necessarily what you come out with. So that was just the situation of that record for me personally." Springsteen added that he supposes he may have been looking for something "darker" and more tonally aligned with Nebraska at the time. Born in the U.S.A. went on to be nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys, and become a cultural signifier for Springsteen's songwriting. The album's pop friendly productions blended with Springsteen's gritty vocals brought Heartland rock to a wider audience. The making of Nebraska is soon to be documented in the upcoming film Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, which will star The Bear star, Jeremy Allen White, as Springsteen. The film will be released Oct. 24. Read the original article on People

Rock Icon Reveals Why He Wasn't Happy With His Biggest Album
Rock Icon Reveals Why He Wasn't Happy With His Biggest Album originally appeared on Parade. Even The Boss has his creative what-ifs. In a candid new interview with Rolling Stone ahead of the release of Tracks II: The Lost Albums—his highly anticipated box set arriving Friday—Bruce Springsteen opened up about his complicated feelings toward the megahit 1984 release, Born in the U.S.A. And though the record cemented him as a global superstar and sold over 30 million copies worldwide, it wasn't exactly the album he envisioned. "It became the record I made, not necessarily the record that I was interested in making," Springsteen, 75, admitted. "I was interested in taking Nebraska and making a full record that had somewhat that same feeling." Fans familiar with both records might see the thread Springsteen was after. "If you hear 'My Hometown' and you hear 'Born in the U.S.A.,' they were sort of the bookends I intended," he explained. "And the rest of the stuff was… just what I had at the time. Those were the songs I wrote. Those were the songs I recorded." In the liner notes for Tracks II, Springsteen makes his feelings even more clear, revealing that he "wasn't happy" with the album and felt it didn't "connect" the way his earlier work did. "From conception to execution, it was not necessarily the record that in my mind I had planned on," he said. "But that's the way creativity works. You go in the studio, you have an idea. It's not necessarily what you come out with." When Rolling Stone reporter Andy Greene likened the album to a collection of dispatches from the Reagan-era America, Springsteen agreed—but noted that he had something a bit darker in mind than the anthemic project Born in the U.S.A came to be known as. "The themes of Nebraska are in there—in 'Downbound Train,' they're in there," he said, though somewhat "disguised into pop music." As for what could have been, Springsteen offers a glimpse of that on Tracks II, particularly with the project L.A. Garage Sessions—an entire unreleased album recorded between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A. "I enjoyed the recording and the experience of Nebraska, and thought I might continue in that vein with a small rhythm section, still very lo-fi, and a new group of songs," he said. "At the time I wasn't sure where I was going with Born in the U.S.A. I had half the record, but I didn't have the other half. And so it was just a record that happened in between those two records." Though Tracks II is just days from its release, Springsteen has more in the vault ready and waiting. Tracks III, yet another five-album collection of unreleased material, is finished, the rock legend revealed, though no release date has yet been announced. Tracks II: The Lost Albums drops June 27. Rock Icon Reveals Why He Wasn't Happy With His Biggest Album first appeared on Parade on Jun 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 23, 2025, where it first appeared.
