Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter reveals alternative album cover ‘approved by God' after artwork controversy

It was deemed degrading as it showed her on her knees in front of a man pulling her hair.
But last night, the US singer shared a black and white photo showing herself holding a man's arm — which will be a second option for fans.
Confirming the update, Sabrina wrote on Instagram: 'Here is a new alternate cover approved by God available now on my website.'
Despite being liked by 4.7 million fans on social media, Sabrina's original artwork was condemned as 'regressive' by domestic violence charities.
While the former Disney Channel star has been praised in the past for 'owning' her sexuality in a feminist way, it seemed her latest display had gone too far for many.
One fan on X labelled it 'straight-up Pornhub fantasy'.
Nicknamed Polly Pocket by fans because of her tiny 5ft stature, Sabrina's saccharinely sexy stage outfits, which often comprise lacy, pastel underwear, stockings and vintage baby-doll nighties, have been branded Lolita-like in the past.

Sue and Noel Radford branded 'cruel' after taking their children to 'exploit animals for entertainment' on trip to Florida just weeks after their £52,000 Orlando holiday
Sue and Noel Radford have come under fire after animal lovers accused them of partaking in a 'cruel' tourist excursion while holidaying in Florida. The Morecambe-based brood recently enjoyed their second getaway to Orlando, Florida, just weeks after Sue's lavish £52,000 visit to celebrate the her 50th birthday. Britain's biggest family, known from Channel 5 's 22 Kids and Counting, filled their social media channels with updates from the trip, including a nearly half-an-hour long vlog from their visit to a National Park. Enjoying a day out, the Lancashire locals shared scenes of them wandering through the vast park, taking a boat tour, and then finally stopping at an exotic pet enclosure where they each took it in turns to hold baby alligators. This sparked fury among animal lovers who accused the family of contributing to 'cruelty' for the sake of 'entertainment'. Noel, 54, was first to take hold of the baby alligator, bravely holding it between two hands and telling Sue it weighed 'less than a bag of sugar'. Each of the children appeared delighted as they clutched the creatures. At one point, Sue was overheard giggling in the background of one scene as they were passed between the family. In the video, the young alligators appeared with their mouths taped together, likely as a safety precaution. Viewers expressed their distaste in the comments of the video, slamming the parents for having taken their children to visit the zoo. One commented: 'Poor bloody alligators with mouths taped up so humans can get photos. Cruel and sad.' 'That is so so cruel holding them while mouths are taped they are wild animals,' a second agreed. 'That's so cruel the way their mouths are taped up so they can be passed about and photographed. Don't agree with that crap,' another wrote. 'Better organisation is needed, poor gators and their mouths are taped. All for tourism and entertainment,' a fourth remarked. At the time of writing, the family have not responded to any of their comments. The family embarked on their second trip to the glamorous holiday spot just one month after visiting for Sue's 50th birthday, sharing each and every moment to their social media channels. Posting to Facebook, the Morecambe-based clan uploaded snaps from their visit to Alligator Farm in the Everglades, where they got up close with the wildlife. Both older and younger children looked thrilled, beaming in the sunshine, as they sat together on a wooden boat. Dad Noel got into the swing of things as he posed with a straw safari hat and even held up a giant cricket, with the family joking: 'Think Noel thinks he's turned into Indiana Jones with his new hat.' Elsewhere, the youngest Radfords were seen building sandcastles and playing on the beach while wearing adorable sun hats as the family made the most of their time away. The group also took in the sights at Disney World once again, with a front-row seat to the famous Epcot fireworks show. This time, the Radfords were joined by their close friends, the Walkers - another supersized family who have 11 children of their own. Their latest trip comes just weeks after their headline-making £52,000 Florida holiday for Sue's milestone birthday. The family previously told The Mirror they had been 'feeling the pinch' financially but didn't hold back when it came to celebrating Sue's big 5-0. That trip featured visits to Disney parks, pool days at their luxury villa and plenty of sweet family moments, including a snap of Sue wearing Minnie Mouse ears and another of two of her daughters wearing matching outfits and backpacks, each with identical dolls tucked inside. Meanwhile, the family also made headlines this week for a very different reason - a personal update from the Radfords' eldest daughter, Sophie. Sophie Radford, 31, took to Instagram to reveal she is no longer with her husband, Joseph Broadley. The couple married in 2015 and share three children: Daisy Mae, 12, Ayprill Louise, 10, and Leo, nine. In a Q&A with fans, the TV personality, who has over 60,000 followers, gave quickfire answers to a series of personal questions, revealing her favourite food is pizza, her shoe size is four-to-five and her age is 31. But the question that caught most attention was: 'Are you single?' Sophie replied with an all-caps 'YES' and added: 'THAT'S ALL THAT WILL BE SAID ON IT.' She offered no further details on the split but made it clear she was not open to discussing the matter further.

EXCLUSIVE We're a married couple who have been swinging for eight years - sex with other people has had a 'really strange' effect on our relationship
A married couple who have been swinging for eight years say that sleeping with other people helps them reconnect and have a better sex life. Olivia, 32, and Gage, 34, from Lincoln, had a newfound 'explosion of love' for each other after their first swinging experience and have remained 'madly in love' ever since. The pair first got together when they were teenagers, but it wasn't until five years into their relationship that they decided to discuss having sex with other people. The conversation happened naturally after Gage was interested in hearing whether bi-curious Olivia had been with another woman before. She told MailOnline: 'It was just pillow talk and conversations. 'We were talking about if I had experienced ever being with a woman and I said actually, I have. 'It was a mind-blowing experience and it happened before I was with Gage.' The talk soon turned to swinging, when the couple - who were newly married at the time - agreed that they would try opening up their relationship, together. Gage - who was in the army for 11 years - signed up to a swinging app after his friend recommended it during a night shift. He said: 'We were shocked at how many people were in this lifestyle and do what we do because we had no idea.' Although they had set out to meet a single woman to join them in the bedroom, Gage and Olivia ended up fooling around with a couple, which they say allowed them to connect deeply in their own relationship. The other duo - who was in their area and a similar age - started messaging Gage and Olivia WhatsApp so they could get to know them better. They chatted for six weeks before arranging for Olivia and Gage - who married in 2012 - to come over to their house for 'drinks' and it wasn't long before the group went upstairs for a 'fun time'. Gage said: 'Seeing Olivia with another woman and another guy for the first time - it was a really strange feeling, it's quite a big turn on to see each other with other people.' Olivia - who has 337,000 followers on TikTok - also described being so aroused by their successful first time, that she asked Gage to 'pull over so they could reconnect' during their drive home. Gage said that many people assume that swingers are focused more on sex with other people, when in reality, they are longing to bond further with their partner. He said: 'We never thought we could have another level of love or admiration with each other. That week, I didn't want to go to work, Olivia didn't want to do anything, we just wanted to stay in bed and cuddle and kiss and have sex with one another. 'We thought "Wow, is this actually a thing?" We couldn't wrap our heads around why we felt like this.' Gage said that he and Olivia were going through the 'reconnection period' which is where you experience 'an explosion of love' for your partner after having a swinging session with others. Flight attendant Olivia says she has to battle many misconceptions when it comes to swinging, with people accusing the couple of not being satisfied with each other. However, she says this couldn't be further from the truth. '[They think] we don't love each other, or we want to cheat on each other,' she said. 'There are so many misconceptions but they are all wrong.' Gage added that they often get comments on TikTok or Instagram with users comparing swinging to cheating. He added: [They'll say] "You don't love each other because you wouldn't want to have sex with anybody else" but we always come back and ask whether they've had one night stands with anybody, because if that's the case, they're basically associating love with sex when they're two separate things. 'We've been married for a very long time. We are madly in love with each other and I am obsessed with her.' Another myth about swingers is that they are riddled with STIs, which Gage says is false as they 'test often and we use protection'. He said: 'The truth is that we've never caught one STI in the eight years we've done this. It's normal to send other couples certificates of being all clear before we play.' Olivia said 'vanillas' - people who are monogamous - often think that swingers will sleep with anyone, when in fact, they are pickier than regular people. 'It's because I've got my partner, I've got sex on tap,' she laughed. 'We are very picky, especially if we're doing things together, it has to be right for both of us.' Gage said another misconception is that swingers are 'absolutely sex mad'. He added: 'We are sexual human beings. Vanillas window shop, they have affairs, they'll see someone and wonder what it's like and we recognise that. 'People don't get that we're doing it with consent and not having affairs behind each other's backs.' When asked about jealousy, the pair admitted that they do experience the emotion, but said that it is important how you channel it. Gage likened it to the jealousy he feels when he sees someone else going on holiday, whereas Olivia said: 'I think "That's my husband and she got him but I get to have it all the time and she's lucky she got to experience it".' The married couple also '100 per cent' believe that sex clubs are safer than regular nightclubs because of the level of vetting in place. Olivia said: 'If you want to go to the club you have to have a membership and clubs will interview single guys and they might not give them a membership. 'There's no getting drunk and throwing up, there's nobody starting fights. Everyone knows you have to consent to touching and kissing. Whereas on a normal night out, people can be quite handsy with you. Everyone is so respectful.' But while they're seasoned swingers now, their first time wasn't all smooth sailing as Olivia wanted to back out initially, adding that she found it all 'too weird'. Gage said: 'We were absolutely nervous. I remember we pulled up to this other couple's house and as I pulled on to their drive, Olivia froze with nerves. Our arrangement was that it's just drinks, don't expect anything else but if there is something there, to not rule it out. 'I pulled onto the drive and the other couple saw us through the window and were waving at us. Olivia said "You're going to have to reverse and go home" and I said we couldn't because they had seen us.' And they're glad they didn't, as they now founded a business based on their lifestyle, a swinging app called SwingHub, which now 50,000 verified users. The majority are older Gen Zers and Millenials, with Gage noting that they've seen an increasing level of younger people becoming more sexually free. Gage and Olivia were four years into swinging and had started posting about it online when they muscled up the courage to tell their families. 'We would make up little secrets and tell people were were going to engagement parties or barbeques and try to hide it because it's none of their business,' she said. 'But when we started posting on social media we thought that people we should start telling people but other people tell them.' Gage described being nervous to call up his mother in the fear that she would not accept his lifestyle. But she turned out to be very supportive, telling Gage that she thought their videos were were 'absolutely brilliant', and although some of Olivia's family had questions, they were also accepting. When asked about the only downside to swinging, Olivia said that it can be very expensive and that a weekend can sometimes cost £400 for transport, hotel, the club fees and new lingerie.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom 'split' after nearly 10 years together
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly separated. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after nine years of their on–off relationship. Since they first dated back in 2016, the couple have seen some ups and downs. They went Instagram official when the musician shared a photograph of herself and Orlando dressed in bathrobes on the steps of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cannes, France, in May 2016. They dated for a little over a year before calling it quits in early 2017 - however, as reported by the Mirror, they soon got back together in 2018. They then announced their engagement in 2019 before moving in together that same year, her ring consisting of a ruby in the middle surrounded by eight white diamonds in a floral pattern. Katy showed off the ring in an Instagram post on Valentine's Day, revealing Orlando had proposed, according to The Daily Mail. The pair then took their relationship to the next level and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove in August 2020. Katy and Orlando were last spotted together publicly at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2025. And an expert has pinpointed a telling sign that the couple weren't their usual selves even then, as unearthed snaps show a sad signal from Katy - who looks 'almost unrecognisable'. The pair posed together on the red carpet at points, while Katy also had solo time in front of the cameras. Body language expert Judi James said: "Katy's body language mood here looks serious with only a few brief outbreaks of the more familiar, fun displays as she poses alone on the red carpet. "She seems to adopt a high fashion style of posing, with the accent on elegance rather than cheerfulness. Her very unsmiling facial expression and her cropped fringe make her look almost unrecognizable and it's only when she pulls a goofy face at the end and sticks out her tongue to make the photographers laugh that we see a flash of the usual, upbeat Katy." Katy's diary has since then been jam-packed as she's been on a world tour for months. Spending so much time away from her home in Montecito, California, has reportedly caused a 'big disruption' in her home life with Orlando, with a source claiming they have been 'living separate lives'. On Sunday, June 22, Orlando was spotted in Australia with their four-year-old daughter while Katy was in the city for two tour stops at the RAC Arena on June 22 and Monday, June 23. While the couple was not photographed together, it appeared Orlando and Daisy visited Katy. Earlier this month a source told Page Six that the couple's relationship was already "over" and they are waiting till her world tour ends in December to break up. A source told PEOPLE that the pop singer's latest album 143, which released in September, "caused some tension" in the pair's relationship with Katy being "stressed" and "deeply frustrated" after the album's reception. While a source told Us Weekly, " Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' The source described the alleged split as 'a long time coming' and claimed their relations 'have been tense for months.'
