Kendall Jenner Keeps Cool in a Black Bikini During Desert Getaway: See the Pics!
Kendall Jenner knows how to heat up her Instagram feed The supermodel shared bikini photos from her desert getaway on June 11 "strawberry moon," she captioned the upload, which also included her breathtaking viewsThe heat from Kendall Jenner's desert getaway is no match for the supermodel's steamy bikini snaps! The Kardashians star, 29, shared photos from her vacation in an Instagram carousel posted Wednesday, June 11. Kicking off the collection of pics, she shared a photo of herself in a black bikini and straw hat, while lounging on what appears to be a white bed. In addition to the views of the land, Jenner also shared a snap of her backside. She sat facing a body of water while the intricate design of her bikini was on display. Jenner captured a selfie of herself smiling from ear to ear while she looked directly into the camera, and rounded out the post with a clip of her riding in the backseat of a vehicle, hair blowing in the wind, while she admired the views of the desert. 'strawberry moon,' she captioned the upload, presumably referencing the clip of Earth's natural satellite that she shared. The 818 Tequila founder has been enjoying getaways of all sorts lately. Last month, her sister Kylie Jenner shared a glimpse into her vacation with her eldest child, Stormi, and the supermodel. At the time, the Kylie Cosmetics CEO, 27, shared an Instagram carousel, featuring a photo of Kendall with her arms in the air while smiling. She wore a red bikini top and white towel that was wrapped around her waist.

Kendall inquired while giggling in the video. Kylie then showed a zoomed-in shot of her sister's tooth. 'B----, you are not going to the Knicks game today,' she replied.

Sabrina Carpenter sparks controversy with provocative 'Man's Best Friend' album cover
Sabrina Carpenter sparks controversy with provocative 'Man's Best Friend' album cover Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Sabrina Carpenter wears bodysuit Sabrina Carpenter is giving "espresso" as she wears a stunning pinstripe bodysuit to the Met Gala red carpet. Sabrina Carpenter's next musical era doesn't have everyone wagging their tail. Following the release of her latest single "Manchild," the Grammy-winning pop princess revealed the title and release date for her new album, "Man's Best Friend," on her social media pages June 11. "My new album, 'Man's Best Friend' 🐾 is out on August 29, 2025," Carpenter, 26, wrote. "I can't wait for it to be yours x" The post also included an image of what appears to be the album's cover. The photo shows Carpenter, dressed in a black dress and high heels, kneeling on the ground in a dog-like pose while an unidentified individual stands off to the side and pulls her by the hair. "Man's Best Friend," Carpenter's seventh studio effort, follows the release of her breakthrough 2024 album "Short n' Sweet." The album, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, spawned the hit singles "Espresso," "Please Please Please," "Taste" and "Bed Chem," as well as solidified the singer's playful pin-up girl image. Carpenter first teased "Man's Best Friend" with the release of "Manchild" on June 5. The music video for the synth-pop track drew buzz on social media for Carpenter's bold look, which consisted of a white button-up, baby blue heels and denim "micro" shorts. Sabrina Carpenter divides fans with 'Man's Best Friend' cover Carpenter's album cover for "Man's Best Friend" set the comments section ablaze, with fans online chiming in with their hot takes on the provocative image. "Love (you) Sabrina but in this political climate with Trump as president and women's control over their bodies being taken away in the US… this is kind (of) insensitive," Instagram user @taylorrram wrote. "This just set us back about 5 decades," @uhhhlexa_ wrote, while user @mgracegunderson weighed in, "Excited for new music but this cover is a big no from me, dawg. In this political climate?? Girls, get up!" However, other fans welcomed Carpenter's daring imagery along with the announcement of new music. "SUMMER OF SABRINA FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW," Instagram user @aislinndalston exclaimed. Sabrina Carpenter teases 'Manchild' in 'micro' shorts, fans are in awe "Sabrina is coming for album of the year, artist of the year, pop vocal album, all of it and I'm here for it 😍," @erik_osterberg wrote. Responding to some of the criticism aimed at Carpenter, X user @wickednewshub offered a more analytical view of the album artwork. "For those of you who may lack critical thinking skills, the cover is clearly satirical with a deeper meaning, portraying how the public views her, believing she is just for the male gaze," the user wrote. What Sabrina Carpenter backlash says about changing views on sex Carpenter channels sexual desire unapologetically in nearly every song from her most recent album "Short n' Sweet." On "Juno," a cheeky track about wanting to become pregnant because of how much she adores her partner, she croons: "Wanna try out some freaky positions?" The singer's tour performance of "Juno," in which she flaunted a sequined mini skirt and pantomimed a sex position while singing the line "Have you ever tried this one?," sparked fierce debate among fans, with some defending Carpenter's saucy performance style and others criticizing it as "male-focused." This debate actually focuses on a "false dichotomy," Leora Tanenbaum, author of "Sexy Selfie Nation: Standing Up For Yourself in Today's Toxic, Sexist Culture," previously told USA TODAY. "(People) ask if she's trying to appeal to the 'male gaze' — appearing hot to cater to hetero men's sexual desires — or to the 'female gaze' — looking sexy on her own terms to make a point about women's confidence and sex-positivity." Sabrina Carpenter, hookup culture and why the way we talk about sex is changing In a changing cultural landscape, in which views on female sexual agency are being reevaluated, women like Carpenter are often scrutinized for their overt sexuality. "Carpenter's lyrics are sexually explicit and may not be appropriate for the Disney audience of children she used to cater to, but her sexual frankness is shocking in this day and age only if you believe that women who are open about sexuality are sluts," Tanenbaum said.

Singaporean jailed six months in Taiwan for stalking Golden Melody Award winner Olivia Tsao Ya-wen
TAIPEI, June 12 — A Singaporean woman has been sentenced to six months in jail in Taiwan for stalking and harassing Golden Melody Award-winning singer Olivia Tsao Ya-wen, after her obsession with the star escalated into threats and public confrontation. According to The Straits Times, Cassandra Low, a woman in her 30s, was found guilty by the New Taipei District Court of endangering the personal safety of Tsao, and of offences including stalking, harassment and public insult. The court's verdict, published on June 5, followed months of troubling behaviour that forced the singer and her agent to leave their homes. Low, described in court documents as a long-time fan of Tsao, began contacting the singer via personal emails and messages on Facebook and Instagram from November 2023. However, her behaviour took a dark turn after she was blocked on social media by Tsao. According to the judgment, Low reacted by posting threats and abuse directed at the singer, her family, and her agent. In one Facebook post, she wrote: 'I can be very aggressive. The more stubborn she is... don't blame me for whatever I do to her parents.' In another, she said: 'Blocking me, see how I slowly let her agent die.' The online threats eventually drove both Tsao and her agent to leave their residences in New Taipei City out of fear for their safety. The situation intensified in February when Low followed Tsao to Banqiao high-speed rail station after learning the singer was travelling. She grabbed Tsao's luggage and phone in an attempt to pressure her into restoring contact. In a video recorded by Tsao, Low is seen physically blocking her and demanding a reconciliation until police intervened. The court sentenced Low to six months in prison. She may choose to pay a commuted fine of NT$1,000 (S$43) per day of her sentence, but the court noted that her high salary as a Singaporean — reportedly more than twice that of a typical Taiwanese worker — meant a financial penalty alone would not reflect the severity of her actions. Low will be deported once she serves her sentence or pays the full fine. Tsao, 38, responded to the verdict in a June 11 post on social media, saying: 'This is the most comforting piece of news I have received recently,' and thanked her supporters and legal team for their help. Better known by her Chinese name Tsao Ya-wen, the singer performs primarily in Taiwanese Hokkien and won the Best Female Taiwanese Singer award at the Golden Melody Awards in 2021. She has previously spoken about feeling 'helpless and uncomfortable' when fans crossed personal boundaries, though she did not identify individuals at the time.
