Sabrina Carpenter Ties Her Own Biggest Song As She Scores New Platinum Plaques
Americans have been listening to a lot of Sabrina Carpenter lately. The pop superstar finally broke into the top 40 world a little over a year ago, thanks to her album Short n' Sweet and the singles featured on it, such as "Espresso," "Taste," and "Please Please Please," among others. Carpenter had been making music for many years prior, but had to wait quite a while before she became a certified hitmaker.
The Grammy winner recently earned multiple new certifications from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), as many of her biggest songs scored new honors or snagged certifications for the very first time.
13 New Certifications for Sabrina Carpenter
13 of Carpenter's songs collected some love from the RIAA in late June. Seven of those tracks hit gold status, the lowest possible tier, which means they secured their first certifications. That roundup includes a mix of older tracks as well as some of her newer offerings, such as "Looking at Me," "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying," "Eyes Wide Open," "Don't Smile," "Dumb and Poetic," "Slim Pickins," and "Busy Woman," the focus track from the deluxe edition of Short n' Sweet.
'Bed Chem' Becomes a Multi-Platinum Smash
Several of Carpenter's biggest tunes from Short n' Sweet advanced again to multi-platinum status. "Bed Chem" pushed from platinum to double platinum, while "Taste" inched one rung higher and is now a triple platinum smash. Fellow tracks "Sue Me," "Good Graces," and "Juno" became platinum successes for the first time.
"Please Please Please" Ties 'Espresso'
"Please Please Please," one of Carpenter's biggest singles so far, is now a five-times platinum blockbuster. Since it was certified triple platinum in December of last year, it has racked up another two million additional equivalent units, with that sum spread out between pure purchases and streaming activity.
"Please Please Please" is now tied with "Espresso," both from Short n' Sweet, as Carpenter's highest-certified tracks. "Espresso" hasn't added to its total since December 2024, so the RIAA could increase its sum again soon.

Days of Our Lives Recap: Sophia Unexpectedly Gives Birth in Her Bedroom
Days of Our Lives Recap: Sophia Unexpectedly Gives Birth in Her Bedroom originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Days of Our Lives recap: University Hospital – Lobby: Sarah gets a call from Xander asking to visit Victoria the next day. She agrees and he hangs up. Kiriakis Mansion: Holly is visiting with Grandma Maggie saying her father would be so proud of her for graduating as salutatorian. Further, she has gotten into college in Paris. Maggie questions her decision and Holly says she's worried about her mother. Maggie thinks whatever is going on with Nicole and Eric is their issue. She needs to focus on her education and what's best for her. Just then, Sarah walks in. Sarah asks Holly about her summer plans, and she rattles off a few goals, including a senior sleep away event she and Arianna Grace will be attending together. With that, she exits and texts young Douglas about their study session. Doug texts back saying he has decided not to get his GED. Sarah tells Maggie about the large likelihood of sharing custody of Victoria with Xander. She doesn't know how she will deal with being so connected to a man she despises but also has such a pull on her. Maggie is glad she is talking about her feelings of conflict and knows both she and Xander still love each other. Sarah thought her love for Xander would change him and Maggie says it did. She doesn't think the change went deep enough. His violent temper and the anger and judgement with which he treats her makes him a man she couldn't possibly live with (re: anger and judgement – that ain't your lesson to teach. Also, Horton privilege..). Maggie gets it but notes she can't live without him. What she's expressing is exactly the way she felt about Victor. She details the struggle and inner conflict she experienced being married to a man like Victor. Maggie says she had to find a way to live with the reality of Victor's devious and sometimes brutal side. Sarah isn't certain she could ever do the same with Xander. Hernandez House: Leo is checking into the stolen necklace but has no luck. Javi appears in his paramedic uniform and his beau is quite impressed. He wants to get all sexy but Javi has to go to work. Horton House: Steve arrives with news for Julie about her necklace. He has a lead on the buyer. It was purchased using a wire transfer and now he has Austin (who used to be a forensic accountant) working his magic to find the buyer. Steve promises they are going to find whoever has her necklace. Julie is curious how much the necklace is going for as she wanted to get it appraised for insurance purposes. The 'little weasel' took it before she was able to do so. Recognizing himself a bit, Steve cuts for young Douglas. He knows what it is to be young and make stupid mistakes. Julie remembers having shoplifted a fur stole and being arrested when she was young. That being said, Julie can't forgive him because he betrayed his family legacy (Horton privilege in full effect). Park: Young Douglas meets the debt collector goon and tells him that he needs more time to get the money. The goon swallows the park whole as he says no more excuses. He says they need payment, in full, now. The goon mentions Holly and how her family is loaded. He reminds Doug again he will hit up every last person he knows if he fails to pay off his debt. Marlena and John's Penthouse: Tate leaves a message for Sophia saying he feels better they have an attorney to set up the adoption before the baby comes. Tate gets a text from Holly asking if she can come over and he enthusiastically agrees. Holly arrives to check on Tate after losing his Grandpa John. He is so happy to see his ex-girlfriend and finds it weird they are no longer seeing each other on the daily after graduation. Holly tells Tate about being accepted at the Sorbonne and he worries she is leaving town. Holly hasn't made any decisions. Holly says she's had trouble getting over him. She thought she had feelings for Doug but admits to Tate she's never gotten over him. Tate feels the same way. With that, they embrace and kiss. Sophia's Digs: A sweaty and distraught Sophia is cleaning up blood and throwing things away when her newborn baby boy cries (that was fast). She apologizes to the baby for not having parents lined up for him. She worries her mother, father and Tate are all going to want her to keep him. For that reason, she can't let anyone see him as she will never get her life back. Sophia pulls on a black hoodie (never a great garment to wear in Salem) and picks up her sleeping baby. She begins to cry and says how sorry she is to have to do this to him but thinks she has no other choice. With that, she grabs her backpack and exits. Sophia returns without her baby, sits down on her bed and cries (how in the world is she going to explain being baby bumpless?). She lies down and sobs as she holds her teddy bear close and says 'I'm sorry' over and over again. Sophia hears her phone beep and listens to the message Tate left. She feels better hearing his voice but quickly breaths a heavy sigh when he mentions the adoption. Sophia rubs her babyless belly saying it's too late for adoption as their baby has come and gone. Horton Square: Steve gets a call from Austin who tells him something leading to him calling Bo. University Hospital – Lobby: Kayla and Javi talk about the folks he's brought in that evening and how well he did with the last patient he brought in. Steve arrives and tells Kayla about finding the person who purchased Julie's necklace. Kayla congratulates him and thinks it will lead to many more cases for him and his new partners. She mentions young Douglas and they both hope he has learned some valuable lessons. Steve and Kayla are about to exit when Javi walks in with a baby. He says someone left him, cord still attached, at the Safe Haven box in the fire station. Kayla takes the baby and cradles him, saying he is safe now. Kayla returns after examining the baby and says he's in good shape. Javi asks what's next and Kayla says he's been assigned a social worker. The mother has 14 days to by law to reclaim the child before they system officially takes over. Until then, he'll be placed with in foster care. Based on his history, Steve freaks out and asks her not to let that happen. He thinks he would like them to foster the baby. Kayla gets it but thinks they are too busy to make it work. Javi says he has an idea. Horton Square: Young Douglas calls Leo and is disappointed to learn he's had no luck finding the necklace. He suggests Doug practice positive affirmations each morning to make his life better (giggle). Doug is not inspired by his friend's words. Julie walks into the square and fields a call from Bo saying her grandmother's necklace is on the way back to Salem. She walks off and runs into young Douglas. Julie tries to blow him off, but Doug begs her to wait. Endings Young Douglas says he did all he could to get the necklace and even if he could, he wouldn't be able to afford it. With venom, Julie says she isn't surprised (See: Horton privilege). Doug says he's thinking of leaving town and wants her to know how sorry he is. Julie says she is sorry she welcomed him into her home and that he carries her late husband's name. She continues to tear into Doug's grandson and tells him to get gone. With that, she tells him the necklace was found and storms off. Sarah thanks Maggie for her support and love. She has to figure out a new way forward. Maggie asks if she wants to divorce Xander and Sarah says she doesn't know. Maggie thinks being uncertain indicates her marriage may still have hope. Tate and Holly kiss and she's astounded Sophia hasn't shown up to interrupt their reunion. With that, they get back to their make out session. Sophia tries to pull herself together, picks up her phone and calls someone (Melinda?) to ask for help. Leo preps himself for his night of passion when Javi arrives with a baby in tow. Keep checking back for the latest Days of Our Lives recaps! This story was originally reported by Daytime Confidential on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.

Cassie Feels ‘Sense of Closure and Freedom' After Diddy Trial: Inside What's Next for the Singer
Cassie is finding peace as the trial against Sean 'Diddy' Combs comes to an end. 'Cassie feels relieved now that she is removed from the trial,' a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. 'She is glowing and finally feels free. This marks the final chapter in her long and painful history with Diddy, and she is finally at peace.' The insider adds that Cassie, 38, 'feels a deep sense of closure and freedom' now that 'a weight has been lifted' off her shoulders. Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) took the stand during Diddy's trial to speak on her history with the disgraced music mogul. During her emotional testimony, Cassie claimed that she endured physical and sexual abuse through her relationship with Diddy, 55, which occurred from 2007 to 2018. Cassie's Life Now After Alleged Diddy Abuse and Emotional Sex Trafficking Trial Testimony Diddy is on trial for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution following his September 2024 arrest. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him. Before his arrest, Cassie sued Diddy, accusing the rapper of abuse throughout their relationship. Diddy denied Cassie's claims in a statement shared by his attorney. 'Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,' Diddy's lawyer Ben Brafman said in November 2023. One day after the lawsuit was filed, Cassie and Diddy settled out of court. While on the stand in June, Cassie revealed she received a $20 million payment. Two weeks after completing her testimony, Cassie welcomed her third child, a son, with husband Alex Fine. In addition to their newborn little one, the couple are also parents of daughters Frankie and Sunny, whom they welcomed in December 2019 and March 2021, respectively. Now that she is a mom of three, Cassie is planning on staying 'out of the spotlight' so she can focus on her growing brood. 'The girls love having a baby brother in the house and are obsessed with him. She had a hard labor but feels her family is complete now,' the source tells Us. 'Cassie is enjoying living on the East Coast for now and raising her kids near her family.' Cassie Stepped Out for Rare Outing 1 Day Before Giving Birth to Her and Alex Fine's 3rd Child According to the insider, Cassie has put Hollywood behind her and is prioritizing a 'private life' with her family. 'She's now fully focused on her future and the life she's built outside of the public chaos,' the source explains, adding that 'Alex does everything he can to make sure Cassie is in a good headspace and they are a great team. She is so happy to have him.' While Cassie has focused on motherhood, Diddy's trial has continued. On Tuesday, July 1, the jury reached a verdict on four out of the five charges. The only count that the jurors had not reached a decision yet was for racketeering conspiracy. Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed the jury on Tuesday and will have them return the following day to resume their deliberations.

Cassie Breaks Silence After Diddy Found Not Guilty of Sex Trafficking
Cassie has broken her silence through her legal team after Sean 'Diddy' Combs was found not guilty of sex trafficking. Cassie's attorney Douglas H. Wigdor released a statement on Wednesday, July 2, after the verdict was read, telling Us Weekly, "This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023. Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution.' The statement continued: 'By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice. We must repeat — with no reservation — that we believe and support our client who showed exemplary courage throughout this trial. She displayed unquestionable strength and brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion.' Cassie's legal team noted that this case 'proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors." Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Ex-Girlfriend Cassie's Relationship Timeline Diddy, 55, was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but he was acquitted on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Each transportation charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. The prosecution has asked that Diddy serves any potential sentence consecutively, meaning he may face a maximum of 20 years in prison. Cassie originally testified against Diddy in May, recalling numerous alleged incidents of physical and sexual abuse. The singer, who dated him off and on from 2007 to 2018, previously sued Diddy in November 2023 for sexual assault and physical abuse. Diddy denied all allegations, and the pair settled that case out of court one day later. After Cassie's lawsuit, many other people came forward with similar misconduct accusations against Diddy. The disgraced rapper continued to deny all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges. (After her testimony, Cassie gave birth to her and husband Alex Fine's third baby.) A Timeline of Diddy's Legal Troubles and Accusations: From Cassie Lawsuit to Multiple Arrests 'We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office,' Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us after his September 2024 arrest. 'Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community.' Agnifilo added: 'He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.'
