Sabrina Carpenter gets cheeky as she announces new album, ‘Man's Best Friend'
Sabrina Carpenter sure has been a 'Busy Woman.' Just a year after releasing 'Short n' Sweet,' the 'Espresso' singer has another album on the way.
Carpenter took to Instagram Wednesday morning to announce 'Man's Best Friend,' due Aug. 29, along with its sultry (and divisive) cover art featuring the singer on all fours in front of a man pulling her hair. She also posted a close-up image of a dog whose collar is emblazoned with the album title, highlighting the cheeky play on words.
Carpenter gave fans a taste of the new project last week with 'Manchild,' a twangy synth-pop track that sees the singer questioning, 'Why so sexy if so dumb? / And how survive the Earth so long?' Written with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff shortly after finishing 'Short n' Sweet,' the single has been compared to her songs '15 Minutes' and 'Busy Woman,' released earlier this year.
'It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer,' Carpenter said of 'Manchild' on Instagram. '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!'
'Manchild' is accompanied by a playful music video that shows the singer hitchhiking with various incompetent men and bathing with pigs in her bra and underwear. Fans have also been quick to point out that the dog in the video may be the same as the one in the album announcement.
While not much else is known about the album, Carpenter sifted through ABBA, Donna Summer and Dolly Parton records during an Instagram Live Wednesday morning, hinting at her possible influences, according to Variety. The singer notably covered the Weather Girls' '80s hit 'It's Raining Men' during her headlining set at Primavera Sound Barcelona last weekend, where she also performed 'Manchild' live for the first time.
This fall, Carpenter is set to return to North America for another leg of her Short n' Sweet Tour, finishing with six nights at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena on Nov. 16, 17, 19, 20, 22 and 23. Perhaps fans can expect some new additions to the setlist.

12-Year-Old Dog Left at Shelter by Family 'Wondering Where He Went Wrong'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A senior dog taken back to the shelter by his family was left confused about what had happened to his previous life, shattering the internet's heart. The 12-year-old Labrador mix, Hugo, was brought to the London Animal Care Centre on April 16 by his previous family. His entire world turned upside down. The animal shelter, known on Instagram as @londonanimalcare, shared in Tuesday's video how Hugo now spends most of his days—sleeping on his tiny cot with his head down and his eyes filled with confusion. After 12 years of living with his family, he was left alone in a kennel, "wondering where he went wrong." He went from going on adventures and having warm snuggles with his family to adjusting to a loud and chaotic shelter environment. The recent video explained that Hugo, luckily, settled into his new life at the shelter "in no time." The senior dog thrives on routine and loves to patrol the yard, keeping it safe from squirrels, but he can also be found napping in his bed. Despite his age and prominent gray hairs on his snoot, the shelter called him a "young-at-heart kind of guy" on the website. He still shows off his energy, as he loves running around. He enjoys making noise with his barks and will sometimes pull on the leash if he spots something, but with extra training, the shelter believes he'll be a walking expert in no time. Newsweek reached out to @londonanimalcare via Instagram for additional comment. Screenshots from a June 10 Instagram video of a 12-year-old Labrador mix waiting for a new home after his previous owners surrendered him to the London shelter.

Instagram users flooded the comment section with their disappointment over the family abandoning him. The clip amassed over 12,100 views and 547 likes as of Thursday. "This is just heartbreaking. People pray for more time with their fur babies, they don't drop them off at the shelter when it's time that they need us.. the owners should be ashamed. I hope he finds his family soon," wrote one viewer. Another asked: "How could someone abandon this sweet soul in his golden years?!?" A third person said: "Just look at that sweet little face!!"

She sported her signature glam with big, feathery eyelashes and rosy cheeks. Accompanying Carpenter's Rolling Stone cover story, in which she opens up about making Man's Best Friend (her new album comes out on Aug. 29), are images of the former Disney Channel star clad in lacy lingerie looks.

Dua Lipa Is 'Obsessed' With Her Engagement Ring From Callum Turner
It's official! Dua Lipa is gearing up to walk down the aisle with Callum Turner, and she can't stop raving about it. The sensational singer recently confirmed her engagement to the actor in an interview, sharing her excitement for the future and the details behind her exceptional ring. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner first sparked dating rumors in January 2024 before sending fans into detective mode that year's December when the "One Kiss" hitmaker posed with a stunning gem on her left ring finger. Lipa did not hold back when asked to clarify her relationship status with Turner, declaring: "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." She revealed that her fiancé had customized the perfect ring by consulting with her sister and best friends, a decision she was very pleased with. "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well," Lipa said about the gem. She added that she initially wasn't the type to fuss over wedding preparations, but her relationship with Turner had changed her in many ways. Lipa told British Vogue that she never understood the weight of an engagement until it happened to her. "This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling," she raved. When asked about her preparations for her trip down the aisle, Lipa revealed that she and Turner were not ready to say their vows. She noted their busy schedules planned a part in their decision to postpone their wedding ceremony, saying: "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" Lipa and Turner sparked romance speculations in January 2024 after the paparazzi spotted them together in London. They were seen looking chummy following the "Masters of the Air" debut, with PEOPLE reporting that they were caught slow dancing at the event's afterparty. Following their first romantic sighting, Lipa and Turner fueled the romance rumors by sharing a steamy kiss during a date at Sushi Park in Los Angeles. They shared more PDA-filled moments but kept fans guessing about their relationship status until July 2024. That month, Lipa and Turner confirmed their love for each other by making their Instagram debut as a couple. The singer shared multiple pictures and videos from their time at the Glastonbury Festival. A year later, in 2025, the adorable duo made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala. Like Lipa, Turner has achieved success as a British entertainer. He was reportedly raised as an only child by a single mom in the Chelsea neighborhood of London, while his half-brother and half-sister grew up in Australia. He has starred in multiple movies, including 2018's "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" and 2023's "The Boys in the Boat." Six months before Lipa confirmed her engagement to Turner, The Blast shared that she teased fans with a picture of her stunning ring. She shared a festive shot of herself rocking an oversized jacket and reindeer antlers, with the gem sitting prettily on her left ring finger. Although her caption only noted that she was home for the holidays, a source confirmed the news, claiming Lipa and Turner were engaged and happy. "Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally, and this is the cherry on the cake," they said, adding: "Callum is such a solid support for Dua, and they make a wonderful couple. Their family and friends are so happy. It's been an amazing Christmas for them." Lipa's engagement marked a significant milestone in her relationship history as she tested the dating pool a few times before finding the perfect match in Turner. Harper's Bazaar covered her past partners, noting the singer dated French film director Romain Gavras a year before her romance with Turner. The pair kept their relationship low-key and did not confirm they were a couple until the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. They attended the event as a couple that year in May and separated months later, toward the end of 2023. Before Gavras, Lipa made waves for her two-year romance with Anwar Hadid. The singer and the model became romantically linked in June 2019 and even quarantined together during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Unfortunately, their relationship fell apart by the end of 2021 despite them proudly celebrating their one-year anniversary and adopting a dog. Will Dua Lipa and Callum Turner keep fans in the loop about their wedding plans, or will they secretly tie the knot?
