Poland's presidential election: Trump administration openly backs nationalist candidate
"I just had the opportunity to meet with Karol and listen: He needs to be the next president of Poland. Do you understand me?" It was 5:30 pm on Tuesday, May 27, and the conference hall near Rzeszów, in the Southeast of the country, where a Polish edition of the famous American Republican CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) forum was being held, erupted with excitement at these words from Kristi Noem. Visiting this Central European country for the first time, the US Secretary of Homeland Security declared, with the agreement of the American president, her support for Karol Nawrocki, the nationalist candidate in the second round of the presidential election scheduled for Sunday, June 1, which is set to be very close. In front of a room packed with Polish supporters of the candidate, this prominent Trump administration figure, known for her staunchly anti-immigration stance, said the candidate from the ultra-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party was "the right leader" to " turn Europe back to conservative values": "If you [elect] a leader that will work with President Donald J. Trump, the Polish people will have an ally strong that will ensure that you will be able to fight off enemies that do not share your values. You will have strong borders and protect your communities and keep them safe, and ensure that your citizens are respected every single day. You will continue to have a US presence here, a military presence. And you will have equipment that is American-made, that is high quality." She implied that Washington could link the continued presence of US troops in Poland to the election outcome.

Woman with 'perfect body' explains cost of her monthly food budget
Woman with 'perfect body' explains cost of her monthly food budget Karol, 25, was determined to have the perfect physique based on proportions, strength and well-being Karol has explained how much she spends on groceries A fitness influencer dubbed the 'perfect' woman has revealed the huge amount she spends on her food shop every month. Karol Rosalin, who has 1.8m followers on Instagram, was named as having the ultimate body by Playboy after AI analysed her proportions, symmetry and overall strength and well-being. The 25-year-old does 2,500 squats per week and claims to have just 6% body fat. Karol also follows a strict diet of only organic products and top-tier supplements. 'I recently went grocery shopping and the total came to over £800,' she said. 'My food bill is not an exaggeration — it's a commitment to the body I chose to have. I filled up three cars with natural, functional ingredients, including several kilos of chicken breast, trays of eggs, sweet potatoes, yams, broccoli, zucchini and kale, as well as fruits, nuts and oats. Karol has been dubbed 'perfect' 'Every time I get to the checkout, someone looks at me like I'm feeding a restaurant. One time, a man asked if I was making a donation. 'I laughed and said, 'Yeah — I'm donating to the body I want.' Everything that goes into my cart has a purpose. It's not about luxury, it's about logic.' Article continues below Karol will have five to six meals per day, each tailored to her macronutrient goals: protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. She said, 'I use an app to track everything. I have a nutritionist that I check in with regularly, and I stay on top of every detail. Karol has a diet packed with healthy, organic fruit and vegetables 'For me, eating right is the foundation. Some people spend this same amount of money on parties, clubs, or things they don't remember the next day. 'I invest in something that gives me lasting results — in the mirror, in my health and in my career.' The full cost of Karol's body maintenance is much higher. Earlier this year, she confessed to having a personal trainer whose only job is to keep her bum looking fit and perky, to the tune of £3,100 per month. The influencer previously said: 'Some days I go to the gym just for squats, and other days I combine weight training with targeted exercises. I leave the gym exhausted, but it's worth it.

Karol G talks vulnerable new documentary, love life and her upcoming 'dream' album
Karol G talks vulnerable new documentary, love life and her upcoming 'dream' album It takes hard work to be a bichota, but it also takes a lot of heart. Colombian pop star Karol G, aka La Bichota ("the big boss" in Spanish), has become a dominating force in Latin music since her 2017 debut. Armed with an arsenal of reggaeton grooves and relatable lyrics, the singer born Carolina Giraldo Navarro conquered the charts and endeared herself to legions of fans with her sonic confessionals of love and self-empowerment. This white-hot momentum culminated in Karol's Mañana Será Bonito Tour, a global trek that saw her become the first female Latin artist to embark on a stadium tour. The 34-year-old chronicles the grit and glory of this career benchmark, as well as her journey to the top, in the Netflix documentary "Karol G: Tomorrow Was Beautiful" (streaming now). "There are a lot of ups and downs, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I am a leader,' and I don't know if it's good to show those moments that I wasn't really good or doubting myself," Karol tells USA TODAY. "But for me, it's really important to show the process because a lot of the time, people are waiting for motivation or some inspiration for them to feel like, 'I'm on the path. Everything is going to be OK.'" Despite her unflappable stage persona, it was important for Karol to shed the "social media glitter" of celebrity for candid discussions of mental health, predatory grooming and the demands of the entertainment industry, says director Cristina Costantini. "We don't often imagine that after our heroes and pop stars are done with their performances that they're going off stage and collapsing and crying," Costantini says. "Once the performance is over is when the really interesting part of the story starts." Karol G on how daunting stadium tour gave her confidence The Mañana Será Bonito Tour wasn't an easy sell for Karol, but the payoff was priceless. Inspired by the fan fervor for her 2023 album "Mañana Será Bonito," which became the first all-Spanish album by a female artist to top the Billboard 200, Karol proposed an ambitious stadium tour. The singer had just gotten off the road from her Strip Love arena tour. But as seen in "Tomorrow Was Beautiful," Karol's team had its doubts, citing the recent completion of her previous tour and the lengthy prep work typically required of a stadium outing. Undeterred, Karol said, "I had this feeling in me that said I have to do it. I don't know why, but I have this feeling that people connected with my album in a different way." The Mañana Será Bonito Tour, which concluded in July 2024, grossed $313.3 million and was attended by 2.3 million fans across North America, Europe and Latin America, according to Billboard. It also became the highest-grossing Latin tour by a female artist. "It was hard for them to understand, but in the end, I'm super happy that I just followed my intuition," Karol says. "It gave me more confidence to keep following my thoughts and feelings. I'm super proud and super grateful for what happened." Karol G is leveling up for her 'dream' album For Karol, the runaway success of "Mañana Será Bonito" isn't just a professional triumph. It's a launching pad for her next evolution. "I've always been super dedicated to my career and my music; I'm very passionate. But after all that happened, I had to stop and think about what's next because I had to see this as the great opportunity of my life," Karol says. "Right now, I have this opportunity to give this dignity to myself and elevate myself to the highest level – to be out and show the world I'm ready to be in this position." 'I have another side of me': Anitta is more than a Latin pop femme fatale To that end, the Grammy-winning songstress has been perfecting her craft for her yet-to-be-announced fifth album, including honing her musical skills in the studio. While details are scant, the "Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido" singer is teasing a multimedia experience. "I've been creating what for me would be my dream next level of Karol G," Karol says. "I'm so excited because it's not just music. It's so many different things that I worked on surrounding the same project in different routes." Why Karol G's romance with Feid is a 'blessing' "Tomorrow Was Beautiful" also peels back the curtain on Karol's swoonworthy romance with reggaeton singer-songwriter Feid. The two became close during Karol's 2021-2022 Bichota Tour after the singer tapped Feid to be her opening act. A star in his own right, the Colombian musician, 32, has scored 13 No. 1 hits on Billboard's Latin Rhythm Airplay chart and crisscrossed Latin American stadiums last fall on his Ferxxocalipsis World Tour. "There have been two or three moments that we couldn't see each other, but we understand that. Even if it's hard, it's not that hard because both of us understand what we do," Karol says. "It's a blessing for me that I have someone like him in my life and in this moment of my career." While the musical lovebirds have previously joined forces in the studio (2021's "Friki" and 2024's "+57"), Karol says the couple prefers to not mix business with pleasure. "Both of our music has different feelings and even different narratives and perceptions, so we don't try to put what we think in the other's career," Karol says. "But we support each other. If he needs an opinion or if I need an opinion, or whatever we need, we're going to be there." How Karol G is making history with female empowerment Karol's womanhood, which she once saw as an "obstacle," has been transformed into her superpower. The singer's emergence in the reggaeton scene, alongside fellow female powerhouses Natti Natasha, Becky G and Anitta, brought a girl-power revolution to the once male-dominated genre. At the 2024 Latin Grammys, Karol took home the award for best urban album for the second year in a row, making her the first woman to do so. "In the beginning, everything was about being a girl in this industry and why it wasn't possible," Karol says. "Like other women opened doors for me, in this generation I'm one of those who is trying to make a difference, and this gives me a lot of motivation to keep going and to keep trying to change the story and the path." This unabashedly feminine perspective is evident throughout Karol's brand, says Costantini, who observed the singer's predominantly female team while working with Karol on her Netflix documentary. "Part of the reason she's been so successful is because all of the people making decisions at the high levels in her company are women, and there's an authenticity to that," Costantini says. "It's all young Latina women who are pushing this thing." Natalia Lafourcade interview: Singer talks alter ego in 'Cancionera,' touring in her 40s The legacy Karol G wants to leave behind Karol is far from her final act, but el futuro is definitely on her mind. In one of the more introspective scenes from "Tomorrow Was Beautiful," Karol reflects that she believes she will die at a young age and that this mentality, in part, drives her to create as quickly as she can. "I feel there are so many things I have left to do," she says in Spanish. Such a somber confession almost contradicts the feel-good optimism of the Mañana Será Bonito tour and album, whose tagline translates to, "Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful." But perhaps for Karol, the true beauty lies in the souls she's able to touch while she's still alive. "If someone is happy because of my music, that's the best legacy that I can leave," Karol says. "I just want to be that person where people find a little more peace in this tough world."

Karol G releases new song 'Milagros' to celebrate Netflix documentary Tomorrow Was Beautiful
Global reggaeton star Karol G is celebrating a major milestone with the release of her Netflix documentary Tomorrow Was Beautiful and a brand-new track titled 'Milagros.' The heartfelt song debuts during the film's closing credits and marks her first music release of 2025. Premiering this week, Tomorrow Was Beautiful chronicles Karol G's journey from rising artist to international Latin music sensation. The documentary dives into the personal and professional highs and lows, especially highlighting her sold-out Mañana Será Bonito tour and the barriers she broke as a woman in reggaeton. Karol G announced 'Milagros' via her Instagram story, posting shortly after the documentary hit Netflix. 'I'll leave this here so you can listen to it when you wake up,' she wrote. The track shifts away from her reggaeton roots, leaning into a reflective folk-pop sound featuring acoustic guitar and flute. With lyrics like 'Every time I wake up I realize how blessed I am,' the song serves as a tribute to her fans and the journey that shaped her. Earlier in the week, Karol G attended the New York premiere of her film, wearing a gold dress and sharing her excitement online. 'I feel in the bottom of my heart that my life has a new beginning,' she wrote, teasing a fresh artistic chapter. 'Milagros' follows 2024 releases like 'Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido' and the collaborative single '+57,' reaffirming Karol's evolving sound and connection with fans around the world.
