One or Eight have had a groundbreaking year.

In August, the eight-member Japanese boy band released their first track, “Don’t Tell Nobody,” — along with the music video — which was written and produced by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. The group, however, first launched in June with a performance video of “Kawasaki.” The video gained up to 6 million views in five days. And early this month, a remix for the song and its music video, featuring Big Sean, dropped. The Bounce Back singer discovered One or Eight by watching them perform. NEO opened up to Us about what it was like working with acclaimed musicians, his biggest influences and the kind of artist he strives to be.

We had the opportunity to perform in front of Big Sean … we gave it a shot,” NEO told Us Weekly in an exclusive interview. “We offered him if he could have a verse on our revamp version, and he gave us a generous ‘yes’ and that’s how it all happened.”

While shooting the music video in both Los Angeles and Japan, when Big Sean noticed the group was nervous, he would tell him, “‘Guys, let’s have fun.’ And that energy really helped us kind of enjoy the shoot, which turned out to become a great result as the music video was,” NEO said. “The huge lesson he taught us by how he carried himself out was staying humble.”

NEO also shared a core memory from the set: “There’s a scene where Big Sean’s right in the middle, and the rest of the eight of us were banging our heads with helmets on, but the helmets were so heavy, our necks started to hurt after three seconds, and we had to bang through the whole song. So it’s two straight minutes of banging with a huge bobble on your head,” he said. “That was pretty tough for us, but it was fun.”

In addition to NEO, the other members include MIZUKI, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA and YUGA.

NEO described the song’s success as “baffling” and told Us how he and One or Eight’s members want to keep the momentum going.

“There’s a lot of pressure on us because we’re bandwagoning on the virality the ‘Kawasaki’ had, but we have to continuously put out good music,” he said. “So all the members were always in the studio. We’re always practicing, and we’re always prepared for a better performance.”

Their sound is a mix of hip-hop and pop, and NEO told Us that the inspiration comes from those he looks up to in the industry.

“Me, personally, I really look up to J. Cole,” he said. “His lyrics quite literally saved my life and thought-provoking lyrics like that. It’s not easy to write. And being able to be a great songwriter at the same time as a great performer is what I really want to achieve … He’s my role model.”

He continued to explain how the rapper’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive was a “lifesaver” for him: “I had really dark times in my life and listening to that really lifted my head up.”

NEO now wants to pay it forward with One or Eight’s fanbase, noting that he hopes the band can be “a safe space for the listeners.”

Chanel Maya Banks has filed a restraining order against her mother and cousin one month after she was reported missing.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the Gossip Girl alum, 36, requested a temporary restraining order against her cousin Danielle-Tori Singh on Thursday, December 26. Banks also filed a request for a civil harassment restraining order on her mother and Singh.

In the paperwork, Banks claimed that her mom and cousin have “acted together to harass and spread lies” about her to “ruin” her “credibility” and “acting.” Banks also alleged that both women “manufactured” the story that she was a “missing person” and claimed her husband murdered her.

“They orchestrated this scheme in order to humiliate me publicly and ruin my professional acting career,” Banks claimed in the docs.

Banks also claimed that her mom and Singh “burglarized” her apartment while her husband, who has been referred to as CJ on social media, was home. Banks alleged that her mother and cousin “assaulted” CJ and caused “visible injuries on his face and neck.”

TMZ was first to report the news.

In November, Singh and Banks’ mother filed a missing person’s report after a welfare check revealed that the actress was not at her Los Angeles home.

“Five days without hearing from my cousin is red flags and alarm bells,” Singh told Eyewitness News at the time. “She doesn’t go more than 48 hours without speaking to me or her mom. That girl is more like a big sister to me.”

The L.A. police department revealed hours later that Banks had been found and she was safe. Banks later released a statement to let everyone know she was not missing.

“My name is Chanel Banks I’m a 36-year-old American nobody, and for my entire life I have been silently carrying the pain of the ritual … abuse, manipulation, and outright endless torment I’ve endured continuously since I was a defenseless baby, at the hands of my own so-called family, who are all so very concerned about my current whereabouts,” she told True Crime News in a November statement. “I have met with the police and verified that not only am I OK, but I’m finally free.”

Banks also claimed that she has not been in contact with her relatives for quite some time.

“For decades my family has been my spiritual, physical, and emotional warden, giving me zero authority of my personage,” she continued. “I was not allowed to make any decisions in life in any way without their approval. … Every instance I’d get close to leaving they’d falsify official government documents relaying lies concerning my mental health — for the record — I have no mental health or any other record aside from a parking ticket here and there, so law enforcement would unquestionably and mercilessly pursue me.”

Alabama Barker gave Us the ultimate Christmas gift haul.

Barker, 19, took to TikTok on Thursday, December 26, to show off all the gifts she received for the holiday, including dresses, luxury bags, shoes and more. Alabama, who is the daughter of Travis Barker (who is now married to Kourtney Kardashian) and Shanna Moakler, kicked off the video with gloves and a pink leather wallet ($1,800) from Chrome Hearts.

“This is so tea. We love her,” she gushed while holding up the bubblegum accessory.

Moving onto the many purses she received, Alabama first held up a bedazzled Balenciaga shoulder bag ($7,950) and a Prada number featuring a scrunched up body adorned with crystals and a circular handle.

“I have the pink one of this too, and this is just so tea! Look at how pretty it is,” she gushed. Alabama also got a vintage Dior gold purse ($700), a fuzzy Prada pouch that she’s planning to keep in her car and a quilted Chanel backpack ($3,466), which the one and only Kris Jenner purchased for her. “It’s so cute!” she gushed.

While her gifts already seem extravagant, Alabama saved her most expensive — and “favorite — purse for last. “I got my second Birkin for my collection,” Alabama said, holding up the Hermès purse. “We love her!” She gave her fans a closer look at the design, which features gold hardware and a smooth polished finish. A nearly-identical Birkin bag goes for $14,000 to $20,000, according to Sotheby’s.
