'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.'

John Legend Just Responded to Kanye West's Mashed Potatoes Insult
John Legend Just Responded to Kanye West's Mashed Potatoes Insult originally appeared on Parade. Sticks and stones may break bones, but mashed potatoes? John Legend's not losing sleep over it. During a Tuesday, July 1 appearance on Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning, the 46-year-old 'All of Me' singer finally addressed Kanye West's oddball comment from earlier this year — the one where Ye claimed Legend 'smell like mashed potatoes.' 'He was very obsessed with the sweaters, and he said I smell like mashed potatoes,' Legend said. 'First of all, potatoes are delicious,' co-host Peter Rosenberg pointed out. 'What kind of potatoes?' Legend quipped back. 'I like cheesy, garlic… you know.' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Rosenberg, 45, laughed with him after reassuring Legend that he smells 'fantastic,' but the EGOT winner made it clear the whole situation isn't funny so much as just plain sad. 'It never affects me personally, but just the whole story is sad,' he said. 'Seeing this guy praise Hitler, seeing this guy be like this force of hate and just like vitriol and nastiness. Somebody who has made some of the great art of this century, like as an artist, as a performer, as a fashion designer, all the things that he's done to make the world more beautiful and more interesting, and then for him to be this now, it's sad. It's just sad.' For those who missed it, the original remark came from a March interview between the 48-year-old 'Gold Digger' rapper and DJ Akademiks. Dressed in all-black KKK-style robes, West randomly launched into a bizarre rant about Legend, calling him slurs and claiming, 'They said he smells like mashed potatoes.' John legend really smell like mashed potatoes? — Fly Kaison (@FlyKaison) April 2, 2025 While fans were left scratching their heads, the former Voice coach said he wasn't offended, but made it known: 'Obviously, I smell great.' Legend also opened up about what it was like to know West before the chaos. He reflected on their early years making music together, back when the hip-hop artist was known for boundary-pushing beats, not unhinged rhetoric. 'He was full of so much energy and creativity and optimism,' Legend said. 'We really believed we were starting a new movement in music — and we were — and being a part of that was inspiring, it was truly inspiring.' 14 Years Ago Kanye West dropped the greatest song of all time Runaway — Jasper (@Jasp3r_0) October 4, 2024 The pair go way back. Legend was the first artist signed to West's GOOD Music label in 2004. At the time, he was still fighting for a record deal and traveling with the 'Heartless' artist as a singer and keyboard player. After The College Dropout took off, everything changed. 🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 'Everyone wanted to know what was happening in our camp,' Legend recalled in a May interview with The Times. 'All those people who turned me down suddenly decided that my music sounded a lot better than it did the first time round.' Though they worked closely throughout the 2000s and into the early 2010s, Legend revealed he never saw this side of West. 'I didn't see a hint of what we're seeing now,' he told the outlet. 'His obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution.' Music aside, Legend is a father of four — Luna, 9, Miles, 7, Esti, 2, and Wren, 2 — whom he shares with wife Chrissy Teigen. West also has four kids with ex-wife Kim Kardashian: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.

I was a flat-chested body positivity influencer — until I was ‘canceled' for getting implants
A flat-chested body positivity influencer says she's been 'canceled' for getting a boob job – but insists she 'loves' her new body. Clara Dao, 26, garnered almost eight million followers on social media making content about being flat-chested for six years but, three months ago, in March 2025, she got a $3,398.56 boob job. Advertisement Clara went from a bra size 32AA to a 32C and is 'loving' her new chest but says many of her followers 'hate' her choice, calling her a 'hypocrite.' But, despite the backlash, Clara insists she doesn't regret undergoing the procedure, as it's given her a new, 'feminine' kind of confidence. Clara, originally from Hanoi but currently living in Danang, Vietnam, said: 'I fully expected I would be cancelled once I announced my boob job. 'I've lost a lot of followers – around 500,000 across all my platforms. Advertisement 4 Clara Dao, 26, garnered almost eight million followers on social media, making content about being flat-chested for six years. Clara Dao / SWNS 'Losing followers doesn't come as a shock. 'I built my following based on that one single message of loving your natural body, your flat chest, especially. 'A big part of my following followed me for that message.' Advertisement Size XS, Clara says she was taunted and 'skinny-shamed' through college in Canada for her flat chest. She bought weight-gain supplements and syrups off Instagram in a bid to put on pounds and even stuck her ideal Kardashian body on her mirror to manifest it. In February 2019, she started uploading YouTube videos documenting her journey to self-acceptance. Advertisement She said, 'I lived and breathed the message of body positivity. I created content about it every day, day in, day out.' But six years of making content later, she said her perception had changed. Clara said, 'I felt boxed into that content. 'People just knew me as 'the flat-chested girl.' 'As long as I had my flat chest, I could fall back on it and increase my subscribers, and things would just be the same. 'Creatively, I feel boxed in; I don't feel passionate about the content I did anymore. I don't want that option anymore. 'I got the surgery because I was bored. I wanted to get out of the trap of making content about my flat chest. 4 Size XS, Dao says she was taunted and 'skinny-shamed' through college in Canada for her flat chest. Clara Dao / SWNS Advertisement 'I had a lot of self-love and body positivity before, and I have a lot of self-love now.' Clara underwent the two-hour surgery on March 5 at a clinic in Danang, Vietnam, where she had moved with her boyfriend at the time from Canada just a week before. She said, 'It was pretty impulsive. I had the idea at the beginning of February and had the surgery exactly a month later. 'I had the surgery in Vietnam – it's quite different from having the surgery in the UK or America, you could have the surgery the next day if you want. Advertisement 'With the surgery itself, I had slight complications. 'The wound on my left side didn't close for two, three weeks, so it took a bit longer to heal, but nothing major. The service here is very good. They checked the wound every day. 'It really hurt for the first three days. I'd need help getting up and down from the bed, and I couldn't do certain movements with my arms. Advertisement 'But after a month, you get back basically to normal.' Clara says she's 'very impulsive', but doesn't regret the decision at all. She said: 'I'm very happy with the results. Now it just feels like it's part of me. 'In the first month, your skin feels very stretched out, tight, and heavy. But after three months, it feels normal, it's getting softer and softer. Advertisement Clara – who is moving to LA for a 'brand new start' – said: 'The reaction to the surgery from my immediate circle is very positive, my friends and family know I did it because I wanted a change. 'My family has always encouraged me to get the surgery since I was 17, since before I started making the content. 4 In March 2025, Dao got a $3,400 boob job, thinking that she was going to get cancelled. Clara Dao / SWNS 'There's a cultural difference. In Asia, people are a lot more image-focused. 'They want you to show the best version of yourself, no flaws, especially online. 'When I first started social media and showed my flat chest, showed my imperfections, belly rolls, acne, skin texture, my family was against that for a very long time. But I never really listened to them.' Clara says the backlash has been 'pretty brutal.' 4 'I got the surgery because I was bored. I wanted to get out of the trap of making content about my flat chest,' Dao said. 'I had a lot of self-love and body positivity before, and I have a lot of self-love now.' Clara Dao / SWNS She said: 'Before, when I did flat chest content, most of the hate came from guys, saying you look like a guy, you look ugly, you're like a piece of wood. 'Now my hate comes from women, saying you're a hypocrite, you're so fake. 'A lot of people won't understand. I accept that I won't be understood by most people, especially my fans. 'The first video I made was about doing what you love. That's the deeper message I want to spread with my content.

Kansas City Chiefs 'GOAT' Shocks Fans With Unexpected Retirement Announcement
Kansas City Chiefs 'GOAT' Shocks Fans With Unexpected Retirement Announcement originally appeared on Parade. A Kansas City Chiefs "legend" just shocked fans with an unexpected retirement announcement, and they're finding it "hard to imagine" the future without the member of the "Chiefs Kingdom Hall of Fame." Advertisement The beloved team took to TikTok earlier today, July 1, with the news, sharing with their followers that "The NFL's longest-tenured mascot is officially hanging up the suit." Dan Meers, who has played the part of K. C. Wolf for 35 years, has taken off his wolf head for the very last time, and, while saddened by his retirement, fans are also celebrating the "incredible legacy" that the man has built over the decades. One football fan who "[doesn 't even] like the chiefs" couldn't help but to agree, "this is a legendary career here."
