Sabrina Carpenter Appears in Only Stockings on Rolling Stone Magazine Cover
is known for her audacious statements, and her latest project with Rolling Stone magazine is no exception. The singer made an appearance on the cover of the publication's July/August Double Issue. The photo captured Carpenter in a daring look, proving her ability to turn heads with her presence.
Sabrina Carpenter's Rolling Stone magazine cover photo established her as a bold icon during her new era of music. The 'Espresso' hitmaker's appearance on the cover featured her posing in a daring outfit that has got the internet buzzing. Before the almost-nude photo went public, Carpenter announced her latest album, 'Man's Best Friend.' The album's cover quickly became controversial, which, along with her latest photo shoot for Rolling Stone, proves Carpenter is not afraid of making bold moves.
The cover photo of Rolling Stone's latest issue features Carpenter kneeling on the ground. The pop artist poses with her knees on a geometrical patterned tile floor. While her body is captured sideways, her gaze is directly focused toward the camera. The only attire she wears in the shot is a pair of white and lacy thigh-high stockings. Her voluminous, curly blonde hair cascades down her back, shielding her body in place of her clothes. Moreover, she positions her crossed arms against her chest to cover it.
Her background includes elements such as a pump heel on her right and an ornate hookah sitting on a small table. The photo is a detailed tableau of a retro aesthetic, with the scene creating a warm and hazy atmosphere. Its dramatic colors and textures complement perfectly with Carpenter's elegant style.
Rolling Stone posted the cover on Instagram, officially declaring this summer as 'Summer of Sabrina.' The publication praised the 'Manchild' singer's goofy personality and talent. 'She's a joke-cracking, wildly ambitious pop superstar that we all need,' read the post's caption, adding, 'She's also just getting started.'
Sabrina Carpenter's high-profile feature on Rolling Stone's cover makes a powerful statement, marking a new chapter in the singer's career.

Carly Simon Defends Sabrina Carpenter Against Album Cover Backlash: 'She's Not Doing Anything Outrageous'
Carly Simon is defending Sabrina Carpenter amid the backlash against her album artwork for Man's Best Friend In an interview with Rolling Stone, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker said the LP cover seemed "tame" Man's Best Friend is due Aug. 29Carly Simon is standing by Sabrina Carpenter. In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, June 18, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker came to the pop star's defense amid the backlash surrounding the cover for her forthcoming album Man's Best Friend. The album artwork features a photo of Carpenter, 26, on her hands and knees as someone who appears to be a man grabs her by the hair. In the image, she's donning a short, black dress and black heels. Simon herself released a similarly controversial cover with her 1975 album Playing Possum, which featured the "You Belong to Me" artist on her knees wearing black lingerie and black leather boots. "Everybody looked at it, and people definitely had a reaction to it,' Simon, 81, told the publication of the controversial album cover. 'But they wouldn't have told me what they really thought.' When the album was shipped to stores, she was met with bolder reactions. 'Suddenly, I'm getting calls from Time and Newsweek, saying, 'This is one of the sexiest covers that has ever known,'' Norman Seeff, the photographer who shot the cover for Playing Possum, told Rolling Stone. He continued: 'There's this whole controversy around what did it represent? It felt very much like that energy in a woman, but I just thought of it as a beautiful shot. None of that stuff they were talking about was the intention." Simon also addressed the criticism Carpenter has faced for her Man's Best Friend album artwork, which she didn't understand. "She's not doing anything outrageous,' she told the outlet. 'It seems tame." Added Simon: "There have been far flashier covers than hers. One of the most startling covers I've ever seen was [The Rolling Stones'] Sticky Fingers. That was out there in terms of sexual attitude. So I don't know why she's getting such flak." Carpenter announced the release of her seventh studio album and its cover art on Wednesday, June 11. The news came after she shared the album's lead single "Manchild" earlier this month. In the days after she shared the album cover, Carpenter responded to an X user who reshared the singer's Man's Best Friend album cover, saying, 'Does she have a personality outside of sex?' The 'Espresso" hitmaker then reshared the post and said: 'girl yes and it is goooooood.' Man's Best Friend follows Carpenter's chart-topping LP Short n' Sweet, which was released last August.

Stephen A. Smith Slams Lebron James For 'Hiding Behind His Son' Months After Their Explosive Feud
It's a known fact that Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James aren't the biggest fans of each other, and based on a new interview the ESPN commentator did with Rolling Stone, it's starting to make sense why. Stephen A. Smith Doesn't Hold Back Against LeBron James In A Candid New Interview MEGA According to Smith, who joined the ESPN family in 2003, he's always covered LeBron's career objectively and fairly. Advertisement However, some of his reporting on LeBron's behind-the-scenes dealings in the NBA reportedly angered the four-time champion. "I don't like him, and he don't like me," Smith stated. "He's one of the greatest players who's ever lived." He added, "I'm going to show him that respect, and I'm going to cover him objectively. When he does great, I'm gonna applaud. When he doesn't do great, I'm not gonna applaud." Smith Calls LeBron James Out For Hiding Behind His Son After Things Got Explosive Between Them MEGA Tensions between Smith and LeBron James reached an all-time high at the beginning of 2025, after the pair were seen butting heads courtside over pointed comments Smith had made about LeBron's son, Bronny James, on an episode of "First Take." Advertisement 'I am pleading with LeBron James as a father: stop this. Stop this,' Smith said on camera before questioning whether Bronny is a skilled enough player to be in the NBA. He continued, 'We all know that Bronny James is in the NBA because of his dad." Smith then highlighted Bronny's early-season performance in the league, which, at the time, many deemed unimpressive. 'You know what people are saying. You know what they're going to do to this kid,' Smith said. 'In 13 games, he has played 44 minutes. He has scored four points, he is shooting 1-of-16 from the field, 0-for-7 from 3-point range. How are you doing him favors? We know that he's not ready yet. And I'm saying this with compassion." Advertisement He added, "You know what it's going to do to your son, to people that are missing out on opportunities, that are busting their tail on other NBA teams and the G League and Europe and everywhere else, what kind of opportunity they are starving for? You're exposing your son like this.' Smith Assures People He Was Not Speaking Negatively About LeBron James' Son MEGA In his most recent interview, Smith criticized LeBron for allegedly using his son to escalate their feud. "He hid behind his son, tried to make something out of nothing, as if I was dogging his son, which I was not," Smith said. Advertisement "The real issue was we don't like each other. And he used that as an excuse to confront me. I got it," he added before saying he wasn't going to change his position on the matter in the future. "We're never gonna like each other," Smith stated. "It's not gonna stop me from doing my job. He'll be treated just like any other player I cover. Nobody is going to get me to compromise my professional integrity. I don't have to like you to be fair to you." LeBron Addressed His Beef With Smith During An Earlier Interview MEGA Previously, on "The Pat McAfee Show," LeBron commented on his long-standing feud with Smith, slamming him for going on a "Taylor Swift tour run" to discuss their issues. Advertisement "It started off with, 'I didn't want to address it. I wasn't going to address it, but since the video came out, I feel the need to address it,'" James said. He continued: "Are you kidding me? If there was one person [who] couldn't wait for the video to drop, it was your -ss. Like seriously?" Bronny's Coach Had Positive Things To Say About Him MEGA Bronny, meanwhile, appears unfazed by the noise surrounding him and his father in the NBA; in fact, he says, it only motivates him to work harder. "My first thought about everything is I always try to just let it go through one ear and out the other, put my head down, and come to work and be positive every day," he said. Advertisement And that attitude appears to be impacting his team, as head coach JJ Redick praised the rookie guard during a previous conversation with ESPN. "I've just been impressed with the person that he is," Redick said. "And to deal with ... frankly, bullsh-t because of who his dad is and just keep a level head about it and be a class act says a lot about him, says a lot about that family."

Boyle, who portrayed Romano's on-screen father, Frank Barone, in all nine seasons of the CBS sitcom from 1996 to 2005, died from multiple myeloma in 2006 at the age of 71. 'Two interesting things about Peter Boyle,' Rosenthal said while remembering the late actor. 'He studied to be a monk when he was younger. I asked him, 'Why'd you give it up?' And he says, 'There weren't enough girls there.'' 11 'Two interesting things about Peter Boyle,' Rosenthal began during a discussion about the late actor. Getty Images 11 'You know who the best man at his wedding was? John Lennon,' Rosenthal revealed. 'He was cool, Peter Boyle.' Bettmann Archive 'And the other thing is, I wonder if you know this. You know who the best man at his wedding was? John Lennon,' Rosenthal added. 'He was cool, Peter Boyle.' Boyle met his wife, Loraine Alterman, in 1974 on the set of Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein.' Alterman was working as a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine at the time, and Boyle, who was starring in the film as Frankenstein's monster, allegedly asked her out while still wearing his costume and makeup. 11 Boyle married his wife, former Rolling Stone reporter Loraine Alterman, in 1977.

The pair began dating, and they married in 1977. Alterman, who also worked as a music critic for Rolling Stone, was friends with Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono. It was through Ono that Boyle became close to the Beatles star. 11 'At the last minute, I asked John to stand in as my best man. And he said yes,' Boyle said in 2005. 'The rest is history.'

Getty Images Meanwhile, Rosenthal revealed that he would never reboot 'Everybody Loves Raymond' during the show's 30-year reunion in NYC on Monday. He explained that it would be 'impossible' without Boyle and Doris Roberts. Roberts portrayed Marie Barone on the show and passed away from natural causes in 2016 at the age of 90. 'I'll be honest with you, I'm a student of TV, and I've seen the shows that try to come back and do reboots. They're never as good,' Rosenthal told People shortly before the reunion event kicked off. 'So I'm happy with the memory.' 11 Boyle passed away in 2006 at the age of 71. His 'Everybody Loves Raymond' wife, Doris Roberts, passed away in 2016 at the age of 90.

Getty Images 'It's not the show that I miss doing,' he added. 'We did it. We did 210 episodes. That's a lot of anything. We decided to stop when we felt like it was enough. We weren't canceled. We stopped for a reason. What I miss are my friends. That's what I miss. All the people who made the show with us.' Brad Garrett, who played Romano's older brother, Robert Barone, on the beloved sitcom, said something similar when asked about an 'Everybody Loves Raymond' reboot earlier this month. 'There won't be,' Garrett said at the premiere of Disney Pixar's 'Elio' in Los Angeles on June 10. 'And I'm just saying that because that's something that Ray and Phil [Rosenthal] have always said.' 'There is no show without the parents. They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or the loyal fan base,' he added. 'And it was about those two families, and you can't get around that.'
