On Wednesday, June 25, the singer, 26, unveiled an alternate cover for her upcoming album Man's Best Friend on Instagram and joked about the special someone who approved it.
One of the alternate covers show Carpenter posing with her arm around a man, seemingly paying homage to a photo of Marilyn Monroe. The pair are dressed in formal wear, with the singer in a long gown covered in jewels and her partner in a black blazer and white shirt.
In the snap, Carpenter looks past the camera while the man faces the opposite direction.
The next photo is a wider shot of the singer and the man, but this time she has a shocked look on her face as she looks behind her partner.
"I signed some copies of Man's Best Friend for you guys & here is a new alternate cover approved by God," she captioned her post. 'Available now on my website 🤍."

The first alternate cover photo can be purchased on her website in the vinyl and cassette formats. The standard vinyl, CD and cassette are also available.
On June 11, the pop star announced the release of her album along with the original album cover. The artwork features her on hands and knees in a black mini dress and black heels as a man cut out of the photo grabs a fistful of her blonde curls.
A few days later, the "Espresso" singer responded to a negative comment about the cover, after an X user wrote, "Does she have a personality outside of sex"
Carpenter reshared the post, responding, "Girl yes and it is goooooood."

The album is set to release in August, with the lead single, called "Manchild," out now.
On June 5, Carpenter shared insight on the making of the song, writing in an Instagram post that she penned the hit on "a random" Tuesday with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, shortly after she finished her chart-topping LP Short n' Sweet.
"Not only was it so fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life," she continued. "It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long!"
Man's Best Friend follows her sixth album Short n' Sweet, released last August. The album featured hit singles "Espresso," 'Taste,' 'Please Please Please' and 'Bed Chem.'
Carpenter took home Best Pop Vocal Album for the album and Best Pop Solo Performance for 'Espresso' at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
Man's Best Friend will be released on Aug. 29.

The GHOSTBUSTERS Universe Reportedly Expanding With New Movie and Animated Projects in the Works — GeekTyrant
The Ghostbusters franchise isn't slowing down anytime soon. According to a new rumor, Sony is quietly building out a slate of new projects that could significantly expand the world of proton packs and paranormal threats across both live-action and animation. The scoop comes from insider MyTimeToShineHello, who posted on X: 'A new Ghostbusters movie is in development at Sony + they are planning a trilogy of animated films and multiple seasons of an animated show.' While this hasn't been officially confirmed by Sony, it tracks with the studio's recent momentum after Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and the renewed efforts to grow the franchise beyond just films. Director Gil Kenan, who helmed Frozen Empire and co-wrote it with Jason Reitman, recently gave an update on the animated series that's been brewing over at Netflix. On A Trip to the Movies with Alex Zane, Kenan said: 'It's very exciting, I just watched an entire presentation for the show. I've seen the sets and the environments and I just saw my first glimpse of a world of supernatural characters as realized by our brilliant creative team.' He added: 'The work is being done as we speak. It's in what we call, 'full development.' The scripts are being written and art is being created.' This animated series was originally announced back in June 2022 as a partnership between Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation. Development had been paused while Kenan and Reitman focused on their live-action sequels, but now it sounds like things are fully back in motion. Kenan previously said: 'Jason [Reitman]… we take the responsibility and the joy of being the keepers of the flame of Ghostbusters very seriously… we definitely are continuing the conversation of telling big Ghostbuster stories on the big screen. And stay tuned. There'll be more. There'll be more about that later.' When talking about what he'd like to see in these other projects, he said: "I'd love to explore how other cultures, or at least I'd love to see as a fan, how other cultures create specific threats and specific ways to deal with them in future installments." For fans of the franchise, this is a pretty big deal. Ghostbusters has always been more than just the movies — from The Real Ghostbusters in the '80s to Extreme Ghostbusters in the late '90s, the animated side of the universe was a lot of fun. Kenan and Reitman are obviously aiming to tap into that tradition with a fresh, supernatural world built for a new generation. With multiple animated seasons, a possible animated film trilogy, and another live-action movie reportedly in the works, the Ghostbusters brand is lining up for a serious expansion.

Mel Brooks Producing VERY YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Series Pilot for FX with Taika Waititi Directing — GeekTyrant
It looks like Mel Brooks' monster is getting a new lease on life and this time it will be on the small screen. FX is reportedly close to ordering a pilot for Very Young Frankenstein , a new comedy series inspired by Brooks' 1974 cult classic Young Frankenstein . Brooks himself has given it his blessing and will serve as executive producer, alongside a creative dream team from FX's What We Do in the Shadows . Stefani Robinson is writing and showrunning the series, with Taika Waititi set to direct the pilot. Garrett Basch, Kevin Salter (Brooks' longtime producing partner), and original Young Frankenstein producer Michael Gruskoff are also on board. 20th Television will produce the series. Details are being kept under wraps, but fans of Shadows might remember when Colin Robinson was turned into a baby and had to grow up again. So, there's a chance this new take could include some wild genre-bending antics in that same spirit. No casting news yet, but the tone and team suggest we're in for something clever and twisted. Young Frankenstein parodies the classic Frankenstein mythos with Gene Wilder playing Frederick Frankenstein (that's 'Fronkensteen'), a descendant of Victor Frankenstein who inherits his infamous grandfather's Transylvania estate. With the help of the bug-eyed Igor (Marty Feldman), Frederick sets out to clear the family name… by building his own monster. Naturally, things go hilariously off the rails. Shot in glorious black and white, the original also featured Peter Boyle as the monster, Cloris Leachman as the haunting Frau Blücher, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, and Brooks himself in multiple roles. The film remains one of Brooks' most iconic works, blending horror homage with comedic precision. Very Young Frankenstein is just the latest of Brooks' classics to be reimagined for a modern audience. It will be interesting to see how this turns.

The long and short of it: Tre Johnson could be a perfect fit for the Wizards
The most noticeable thing about Tre Johnson is not his fashion. Promise. Even though on Wednesday night Johnson made himself a topic among those who wonder why anyone would be caught on camera wearing a cropped suit jacket and billowing dress shorts that looked like they were stolen from his big brother's closet.
