Sabrina Carpenter sends fans wild as she strips down to her underwear for a bath with PIGS as pop star announces new album
Sabrina Carpenter has sent her fans wild as she shared a slew of stunning snaps to announce her new album. The hitmaker, 26, took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that her new album Man's Best Friend will be released on August 29. Celebrating the news, she shared behind the scenes images from her latest music video for her single Manchild. In one snap, Sabrina turned heads as she donned nothing but pink underwear in a bubble bath with two pigs. The singer smiled at the camera in the tub with her thumbs up, while another snap saw her running in a white shirt and underwear. Sabrina captioned the upload: 'Manchild bts. Take a shot every time I wear a new outfit.' It comes after the cover art for the upcoming release sparked fierce criticism from fans. During an Instagram Live, the pop singer shared a video of herself flipping through a stack of records by Donna Summer, ABBA, and Dolly Parton, before stopping on her own, revealing Man's Best Friend. The teaser gave a peek at the album cover, showing Carpenter on all fours while a person dressed in black slacks — whose face is not visible — pulls her blonde hair. She also posted a close-up image of a heart-shaped dog collar engraved with Man's Best Friend. The highly sexualised and provocative album art quickly drew backlash. Last week, Carpenter dropped the lead single from the upcoming album, titled Manchild. It was co-written with Jack Antonoff, a longtime collaborator who is also well known for his extensive work with Taylor Swift. The track quickly climbed to the top spot on both the Spotify U.S. and Global charts. Her seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, is set to release nearly a year after her previous chart-topping project, Short n' Sweet, which came out last August. All three singles from Short n' Sweet — Espresso, Please Please Please, and Taste — achieved the rare feat of entering Spotify's Billion Streams Club. The album sold 10 million copies worldwide and earned Carpenter six Grammy nominations as a first-time nominee. She won two awards: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for Espresso. Meanwhile, when Sabrina announced Manchild last week, she seemed to deliver a sharp dig at her ex Barry Keoghan. She cryptically captioned the announcement with, 'This one's about you!!' Sabrina and Barry began dating in December 2023 before going public with their romance during their joint appearance at the Met Gala in May 2024. The pair were said to have split in December however it was reported in the August that they were on and off. Barry was hit by claims he cheated on the hitmaker. However, a source told Us Weekly the actor was 'very devoted to her happiness', but that they are 'at different places in their lives.' The insider further divulged that it's been 'challenging for their relationship since she started going on tour and has been gone a lot' and that 'their schedules were not aligning.' 'All the time spent apart it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding.' Another insider told the publication that the breakup happened within 'the last month' because of their busy schedules. It was noted that there's no bad blood between the 'cordial' pair and their split was 'not contentious.' When previously asked by Rolling Stone if she refers to Barry as her boyfriend she said: 'How do I skirt around this question?'. 'The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that's what you do. Obviously, I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I guess I can't be so surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about.'

Donna Summer Debuts A Decades-Old Album On Several Charts
Cats Without Claws debuts on two U.K. charts as fans celebrate Donna Summer's legacy with a new ... More commemorative reissue of the classic album. American Disco and R&B singer Donna Summer (born LaDonna Gaines, 1948 - 2012) performs onstage at the Poplar Creek Music Theater, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, July 12, 1983. (Photo by) More than a decade after her passing, Donna Summer is back on the charts. The late pop and dance superstar earns a new bestselling album in the United Kingdom this week — not with brand new music shared posthumously, but thanks to a special re-release. Her classic Cats Without Claws project returns, finally reaching a handful of important rankings in that country, proving that listeners are still very much in love with Summer's signature voice and style. Cats Without Claws makes its way onto two musical tallies in the U.K. The project enters the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 84, while also debuting at No. 87 on the Official Albums Sales list. While the full-length isn't new, and it has previously appeared on charts in the European nation, this week is the first time the set has arrived on either of these two rosters. Throughout her career, and in the years since her death in 2012, Summer has continued to make occasional appearances on the charts in the U.K. With Cats Without Claws, she claims her eighth appearance on the Official Albums Sales ranking. When it comes to the Official Physical Albums tally, the set marks her milestone tenth entry. A commemorative edition of Cats Without Claws was recently issued, timed to celebrate the album's fortieth anniversary. It comes in a double CD format, as the original CD had apparently gone out of print some time ago. Beyond just a simple repackage, the collection also includes remixes and a special B-side, which should appeal to longtime lovers of all things connected to the singer. Summer first released Cats Without Claws in September 1984. By that time, she had already established her position as a music legend, largely due to her string of disco smashes throughout the 1970s. However, her output in the 1980s didn't always match the blockbuster success she had enjoyed earlier. Cats Without Claws itself only peaked at No. 69 on the U.K. albums chart. In the U.S., it just barely cracked the top 40 on the Billboard 200. The project featured a few singles, but none became major hits. "There Goes My Baby" and the simply-titled "Eyes" barely made a dent in the U.K., peaking at Nos. 99 and 97, respectively. Another track from the set, "Forgive Me," helped Summer earn a Grammy for Best Inspirational Performance.
