Valerie Bertinelli 'Couldn't Be Prouder' of Son and His New Star-Studded Music Video

'What an amazing experience. The video for The End @mammothwvh is out now. The song is streaming everywhere I couldn't be prouder,' she wrote in the caption.
Along with Bertinelli and Trejo, the video also includes cameos by rockers Myles Kennedy and Slash, Wolfgang's wife Andraia Van Halen and others, and was directed by Robert Rodriquez (known for From Dusk to Dawn, El Mariachi, Machete and more) and makeup artist Greg Nicotero.
The clip has subtle throwbacks to Michael Jackson's iconic 'Thriller' video, Wolfgang's late father Eddie Van Halen, as well as some of Rodriguez's films. It begins with a quote from Jackson before Trejo's character warns Mammoth VH not to play too loud because his customers at the club are 'sensitive to loud noises.' The band fails to heed that advice and the audience soon turns into a variety of werewolves, vampires and zombies as Wolfgang and company rip through the tune.
Fans left praise for the clip in the comments on YouTube.
'walking towards the camera on the table, just like dad. Epic,' wrote one, while another added, 'Danny Trejo and Slash in a Mammoth video?!?! HELL YEAH!'
'Valerie throwing punches while Slash just chills was perfect,' another added, while yet another wrote, 'The Force runs strong in the Van Halen family.'

Car Crashes Into Food Influencers Through Restaurant Window While They Were Filming
Two vloggers are recovering after a car crashed into the restaurant where they were filming a food review. Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago were about 10 minutes into their review of CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston on Aug. 16, when they caught the terrifying moment on video. The two posted the full incident on their YouTube channel two days later, showing them biting into their food as a car crashes into the window near their booth. Patrick appears to be sitting closest to the window and was covered with shattered glass as Nina is seen falling out of her seat. After looking around, Patrick then helps Nina get up from the floor as they walk away. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the female driver claimed she thought she put her black SUV in park outside of the restaurant and after releasing her foot off the brake, the vehicle rolled into the building. The sheriff's office says the two people inside the booth were injured and taken to a local hospital. Nina and Patrick documented their journey in the ambulance and at the hospital on video, showing some of the scratches on their faces, chins and arms. They were also visibly shaken when recounting the crash on camera. Solve the daily Crossword

YouTube Launches ‘Effects Maker' for Shorts, New Comment COntrols
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube is rolling out a new 'Effect Maker' option, that'll enable creators to build their own effects for Shorts clips, while it's also adding some additional comment controls, and improved tagging for brand collaborations. First off, YouTube is giving more creators access to its new 'Effects Maker' option, which enables creators to create, publish, and manage effects for YouTube Shorts. So kind of similar to Snapchat's Lens Sudio, Effects Maker will give creators the tools to create engaging effects for use in Shorts clips, which could help to spark more engagement and interest. YouTube has been experimenting with Effects Maker for the past year, adding in more options to facilitate expanded creative expression with these experiences. And now, more creators will get access, with all users that are able to access YouTube's advanced features now able to also try out the tool. As per YouTube: '[Effects Maker] is only available on desktop for now, and we don't have specifics on expansion to mobile, but we'll keep you posted. When you publish an effect, it will be available to all users that are eligible to create shorts.' Creators will also be able to showcase their effects on their Channel, while YouTube is also testing new generative AI elements to further enhance your creative options. So a lot more creative effects could be coming to YouTube Shorts, providing even more considerations for your content, and for boosting awareness of your channel. On another front, YouTube's also adding in more comment control options, including bulk comment controls in YouTube Studio. 'Up until now, creators could only select a limited number of comments to action on at one time. Now, we're adding the ability for creators to select all comments and take action, like 'remove' or 'report.'' That'll help to streamline your channel management, while YouTube's also adding an option to limit comments to subscribers only. The combination of comment management options could help to keep your channel comments civil, while also giving your subscribers more focus. YouTube says that the capacity to adjust who can comment is only available at the individual video level at this stage, but it is working on expanding this in future. Finally, YouTube's also launching a new element within its BrandConnect creator collaboration toolset which will give creators the option to tag brand partners during video upload, or when editing their existing clips. As you can see in these examples, you'll now be able to manage brand collaboration listings in the composer flow, which YouTube says will give creators more control over which content advertisers can use, as opposed to sharing an entire channel. 'This also enables advertisers to promote a creator's sponsored content to a wider audience via Partnership Ads, which increase the visibility of the collaboration and can drive additional traffic to a creator's channel through a 'Subscribe' button, which will be included in the ad. Creators with branded mentions will have increased visibility in the advertisers' Creator Partnerships Hub, and may be suggested to new brands for additional campaigns.' Advertisers will also get access to video performance data for the tagged clips, enabling greater oversight within collaborations. The option will be available globally on the YouTube main app or YouTube Studio for creators in the YouTube partner program. 'Eligible creators can find this feature in the paid promotion and brand section under video details.' Some handy updates, with the addition of custom creative options for Shorts potentially providing another valuable option to boost engagement. You can learn more about YouTube's latest updates here.

Singles sick of swiping are giving up apps — and looking for love on hiking trails: ‘Here at least people don't ghost you'
Go take a hike might not be the first piece of advice you'd expect to hear if you're single, but it might be the best antidote to endlessly swiping left and right. After all, going on a nature walk with a bunch of fresh, air-friendly folks is a pretty wholesome way to meet people. At least that's the thinking behind Swipe Right Thursday Nights, the Appalachian Mountain Club's solution to app fatigue. During the Aug. 7 debut hike, a dozen singles from the five boroughs took a phone-free, 1½-mile stroll in Battery Park along a scenic stretch of the Hudson River. (The next jaunt is Thursday, Sept. 4.) Whether any true love connections were made remains to be seen, of course. But by the end of their hours together, a few numbers were swapped over drinks at Treadwell Park, a group-friendly beer hall in the neighborhood. Elena Milan, 29, partnerships manager at mattress company Purple, said the hike was a welcome break from bouncing between dating apps, something she has done for the past decade. 'I've been through the ringer on all of them,' Milan, who lives in Brooklyn, told The Post. 'I think the idea of meeting someone in real life, outside of a dating platform, is really appealing.' The cost of dating — both psychic and literal — propelled Ishan Yadav, 22, a master's student in computer science at NYU, to sign up for the Battery Park walk. 'Here at least people don't ghost you,' said Yadav, who lives in Park Slope and says he's had four dates in six months. 'I'll be on Hinge and talk to people — and then nothing happens.' Yadav also liked that the event was free. 'I'm broke, which makes it hard to compete with the finance bros,' he said with a laugh. 'I connected with this woman on one of the apps, and she told me her last date took her to a Knicks game — when they were in the postseason. That's really expensive; I can't afford that!' For Robi Ludwig, PsyD, a psychotherapist in New York City, the timing is just right for new, organic ways like this for singles to meet. 'A hike gives singles the opportunity to connect and talk in a way that isn't threatening,' said Ludwig, who is also the host of 'The Pivot,' a YouTube series. 'Having a common goal of meeting and spending time outside, all while getting to know each other, allows people to open up more naturally.' And, for gorp-munching, hiking-boots-owning New Yorkers, the club also sponsors weekly Concrete to Trails day trips upstate via bus, ideal for car-less but adventurous weekend warrior New Yorkers, who can sign up for an outing that matches their hiking ability. Milan, who hiked regularly when she was growing up in Connecticut, says she's open to trying the outings outside of the city, even though she has never done a group hike with people she doesn't know. 'This is such a unique and different way to engage with people,' she said. 'Dating someone you meet on an app can be awkward sometimes, whereas this feels like an easier way to find things to talk about.' Whether singles are game to explore a gorgeous, shaded trail, dip in a lake, or just contemplate life in a quiet forest escape, a hiking outing provides a low-stakes, immersive way to connect. There are other benefits, too. 'It's scientifically proven that time outside can make you happy, increase your heart rate and improve your mood,' said Sofia Petroski, a volunteer club hiking guide and high school English teacher in the Bronx, who led the Battery Park walk. 'The aim here is to introduce people, for us to hang out together and, ultimately, appreciate all of the incredible nature around us.' When you're single and presented with an opportunity to meet people in person, grab that moment, Ludwig adds. 'What the world needs right now is interpersonal interaction, so say 'yes' to everything, and view whatever you do as a win, no matter what,' she said. 'In other words, don't think of it as a success only if you meet your person.' Take a hike with a group of singles, and you might meet someone who will introduce you to your person. Or, you might end the day having made a new best friend. 'Either way, you're being brought into a whole new community,' Ludwig said. 'When you're single, you want to widen your circles as much as you can. You may be surprised to see what this does for you.' Solve the daily Crossword
