Sabrina Carpenter spotted partying in Paris with mystery man after throwing shade at ex Barry Keoghan
Sabrina Carpenter didn't let a packed concert schedule stop her from enjoying a night out in Paris. The singer, 25, was spotted partying with a mystery man after her Short n' Sweet Tour stop at the Accor Arena on Monday night. The pair started their night at a jazz bar in the Marais district around midnight before heading to Ferdi restaurant for a late-night meal. They were later seen leaving together in a car back to Sabrina's hotel.
The sighting comes just days after Sabrina took a subtle but pointed jab at her ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, during her concert in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland. Before performing Please, Please, Please, a song believed to be about their relationship, Sabrina told the crowd, "Dublin, it's so lovely to be here. You all look and sound amazing. But my goodness, these Irish boys are hard work."
Keoghan, 32, and Carpenter were together for about a year before news of their breakup surfaced in December 2024, with speculation that Keoghan had been unfaithful. Following the split, Keoghan deactivated his Instagram, citing 'lies, hatred, and disgusting commentary' he received online. Addressing the backlash, he wrote, 'I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don't respond to. But now, too many lines are being crossed.'
Meanwhile, Carpenter has been focused on her European tour, which comes after a show-stopping performance at the BRIT Awards. Her set at the awards show made waves, particularly when she got down on her knees in front of a 'King's Guard'—a moment so bold that ITV had to edit the broadcast.
While Keoghan continues to navigate public scrutiny and focus on fatherhood, Carpenter is making headlines both on and off the stage, whether through her performances or her eventful Parisian night out.

Is Sabrina Carpenter's new song about ex Barry Keoghan? 'Manchild' lyrics put fan theories to rest
Sabrina Carpenter's latest single 'Manchild' has stirred speculation among fans who believe it targets her former partner Barry Keoghan. However, a particular lyric referencing a 'mom' has led many to reconsider the assumption. The track opens with Sabrina laughing and exclaiming, 'Oh, boy,' setting a playful yet cutting tone. The chorus includes the lines: 'Manchild, why you always come a-runnin' to me? / F–k my life, won't you let an insane woman be? / Never heard of self-care / Half your brain just ain't there / Manchild, why you always come a-runnin', takin' all my lovin' from me?' These sharp lyrics initially fuelled rumours that the subject could be Keoghan. However, in the second verse, the lyric 'I choose to blame your mom' has shifted fan interpretation. Barry Keoghan's mother passed away from heroin addiction when he was 12, a tragedy he has openly discussed. Given the sensitivity of that loss, many believe it is unlikely Sabrina would allude to it in this context. Sabrina confirmed she wrote 'Manchild" 'on a random Tuesday with Amy and Jack, not too long after finishing short n' sweet.' This timeline places the song's creation during her relationship with Barry, further distancing it from being a post-breakup track. Despite the speculation, 'Manchild' is already gaining traction as a possible lead single from her upcoming seventh album, although no official album announcement has been made yet.

Ayeza Khan under fire for 'insensitive' statement
Following the murder of 17-year-old influencer Sana Yousaf, Ayeza Khan joined her fellow celebrities and the internet in speaking out about the issue. However, her priorities didn't quite align with what netizens were expecting from her. Instead of condemning the murder or the perpetrator, Ayeza chose to discuss the repercussions of sharing one's personal life on social media. "Let's all understand the pros and cons of social media, especially when it comes to our security. Keep your addresses, car numbers, regular spots, and children's details private," she wrote. "It's not safe. It's just not safe. Share less. Times have changed," she emphasised. "Recognise that the audience you have today isn't the one you personally chose. It's from all over the world." The Meray Paas Tum Ho actor believes that it is one's own responsibility to guard what they put out in the digital world. "Let's take responsibility for what we share," she said. Adding a prayer, she concluded, "May Allah protect us all and keep us in good company. Ameen." 'Tone deaf much?' Although Ayeza's sentiments stemmed from a place of concern for the detrimental impact of social media on one's life, netizens called out her statement for lacking sensitivity and veering towards victim blaming. "Someone lost their life because some man had a similar toxic ideology as the roles your husband plays in every single drama he stars in, and your main takeaway is 'let's protect ourselves'? Tone deaf much?" an Instagram user questioned. The user didn't mince their words, urging Ayeza to tell her actor-husband Danish Taimoor to stop romanticising toxic masculinity in his drama serials and have empathy for the family who lost their young girl. "You should at least have some form of the humanity that you were preaching a few weeks ago, telling others to not victim blame," the user continued. "You seriously need to check yourself first and then hire a decent PR team because every statement you make is the most ridiculous, tone-deaf, and insensitive thing ever." A different netizen suggested that the Humraaz actor is hypocritical for having an active Instagram account and still putting out such statements. "While your whole life is on your social media account, you still have the guts to shape cold-blooded murder into a lack of self-protection. Please come out of the fancy clothes and glamorous shoots. The victim was not at fault at all. Maybe tell your dear husband to not choose scripts like he does all the time and stop normalising abuse on screens." Other criticism ranged from speaking out against male privilege to hoping to de-platform celebrities who perpetuate harmful ideas that influence the wrong minds. Many argued that the problem is not social media but the entitlement that criminals have to commit such heinous crimes without the fear of being watched or punished. As per the BBC, a 22-year-old man confessed to murdering Sana after being arrested. Authorities believe that Umar Hayat murdered the influencer at her home in Islamabad after she rejected his "offers of friendship". They informed the BBC that he broke into her house, fired two shots, and fled with her phone. Sana's family gathered in Chitral for her burial. Her father, Syed Yousaf Hassan, shared that she was his only daughter a "very brave" one at that. He added that she had never mentioned Umar or reported any threatening behaviour before her life was taken on Monday.

Brazil's funk star's arrest sparks censorship debate
The arrest of a popular funk singer in Brazil on suspicion of glorifying a powerful crime gang has revived a long-standing debate over the criminalisation of a genre born in Rio de Janeiro's gritty favelas, or slums. Unlike its US namesake, which was popularised by James Brown, Rio funk borrows more from hip-hop, blended with samba and other Brazilian rhythms. The lyrics, seen by many as celebrating favela drug lords, have repeatedly led to calls for songs to be censored. Last week, MC Poze do Rodo, one of the genre's best-known artists with 16 million followers on Instagram, was arrested on charges of glorifying crime and having links to Comando Vermelho (CV), one of Brazil's biggest gangs. The police argue that Poze's music "clearly condones" drug trafficking and illegal use of firearms and point to concerts held "exclusively in areas dominated by CV, with a notable presence of traffickers armed with high-calibre weapons." After five days in preventive custody, the 26-year-old singer was released on Tuesday to a rapturous welcome from waiting fans, who swarmed his car in a column of motorbikes. Speaking afterwards, the singer claimed he was the victim of police discrimination. "Rio de Janeiro police don't like me... because I'm black? Because I'm from a favela?" Marlon Brendon Coelho Couto was born in the favela of Rodo, one of the biggest in western Rio. He has admitted to selling drugs in his youth but says that he abandoned crime to devote himself to music. Police footage of his arrest at his current home in the upmarket Recreio dos Bandeirantes district, cuffed and shirtless, surrounded by heavily armed officers, caused an outcry among his fans. Fellow musicians took part in a campaign for his release, organised by his wife, influencer Viviane Noronha, on the grounds that "funk singers are not criminals." The debate surrounding funk's role in crime mirrors long-standing discussions in the United States over the links between rap and violence in Black communities. Danilo Cymrot, a doctor in criminology at the University of Sao Paulo, pointed to a "grey area" in the definition of glorification of violence, relating to artistic content. "The artist doesn't necessarily agree with his lyrics," Cymrot, author of a book about Rio funk, said. He added that "oftentimes, the police and the judiciary have a hard time understanding funk as a work of art." As a result, he said, the artist's origins are often used to determine whether he condones violence. "It's less the message itself and more who is singing it."
