Sabrina Carpenter unveils naked magazine cover after album art controversy
Don't miss out on the headlines from Magazines. Followed categories will be added to My News. Just one day after prompting a divisive fan reaction over her racy new album cover, pop star Sabrina Carpenter has revealed her first-ever cover of Rolling Stone Magazine – and she's totally nude. And the 26-year-old singer-songwriter takes aim at her critics in the accompanying interview, arguing that those who complain about her sexual image and lyrics are in fact 'obsessed' with sex themselves. Carpenter poses in nothing but white lace stockings for the cover of American Rolling Stone's Summer double issue, under the headline 'SABRINA SUPERSTAR': Sabrina Carpenter's Rolling Stone cover. Carpenter's star has exploded in the past 12 months. Picture: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Inside, she brushes off complaints about the suggestive nature of her music and public image. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it,' she told the mag. 'I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinised in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now,' she continued. Carpenter shocked fans yesterday when she revealed the cover and title for her soon-to-be-released seventh album, Man's Best Friend, out August 29. The album's cover is a striking photo of Carpenter on her knees, in a short dress and heels, pawing at the leg of a man standing over her. He's pulling on Carpenter's blonde hair like a leash. Amid the excitement at the prospect of more new music from Carpenter, just 12 months on from her breakthrough album Short n' Sweet, there was a discernible level of shock from the star's fans, who variously labelled the image 'embarrassing,' 'disgusting' and 'degrading'. Sabrina's instantly controversial Man's Best Friend album cover. Some even begged the star to consider changing the album cover ahead of the record's release. Carpenter, whose first taste of the album Manchild is expected to debut near the top of the charts this week, opened up to her fans about the upcoming album release in an email sent out today to those on her mailing list yesterday. 'I didn't plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio,' she wrote, saying she 'tried not to overthink the process this time' and was inspired by musical heroes like Stevie Nicks, Dolly Parton and Donna Summer: '[I] was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time,' she wrote. 'Can't say that is or will be the norm for me but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!'

Report: ICE used Brazilian woman's family as ‘bait' in chaotic Worcester arrest
Prior to arresting a Brazilian woman on the streets of Worcester last week, federal immigration agents used her family members as 'bait' to draw her out of her home so that they could arrest her, according to an exclusive report from Rolling Stone Magazine. On the morning of May 8, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested 40-year-old Rosane Ferreira-De Oliveira on Eureka Street, leading to a chaotic and tense confrontation between immigration agents and a crowd of more than 25 people. Anonymous sources described as 'three people with direct knowledge of the matter and another source familiar with the situation' are now claiming to Rolling Stone that ICE agents stopped Ferreira-De Oliveira's daughters and infant granddaughter as they tried to leave their home that morning as a tactic to get Ferreira-De Oliveira to leave her home, as they could not arrest her there. The immigrant officers threatened to arrest Ferreira-De Oliveira's 21-year-old daughter Augusta Clara, who was carrying her 3-month-old baby, the magazine reported. They insisted that Ferreira-De Oliveira come to meet her daughters, as her second daughter at the scene was 17, and they were not allowed to leave a baby in the hands of a minor. But as soon as Ferreira-De Oliveira arrived at the scene, ICE agents shifted their focus to arresting her, Rolling Stone reported. They were no longer interested in Clara or her sister, and never produced the arrest warrant they claimed they had for Clara. Clara's lawyer, Andrew Georges Lattarulo, could not be reached by phone Tuesday evening. ICE detained Ferreira-De Oliveira in connection with a domestic violence case she was charged in in February. She is accused of using a phone charger cable to hit a pregnant family member and faces one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a pregnant victim. On Tuesday, Judge Zachary Hillman scheduled Ferreira-De Oliveira's trial date for July 18. She is being held at the Wyatt Detention Center in Central Falls, R.I., at this time. Ferreira-De Oliveira's 17-year-old daughter was also arrested following the confrontation with ICE on May 8 — but not by immigration officers. Worcester police say they arrested her after she stood in front of the vehicle her mother was being taken away in while holding Clara's baby. Witnesses claim officers pushed the teen to the ground while taking her into custody. The move has led to blowback from many including District 4 City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj, who has since been accused by police unions of assaulting Worcester officers during the incident. Worcester police also arrested School Committee candidate Ashley Spring after she tried to interfere with the arrest of Ferreira-De Oliveira's daughter, according to the police department. Both Spring and the daughter were charged and later released. The incident has sparked concern and outrage in the Worcester community, including from Mayor Joe Petty, who called it 'deeply disturbing.' He has ordered a review of the incident by city officials, as well as the drafting of a new policy dictating how city officials should interact with ICE.

Blues legend Buddy Guy to perform in Rockford again in June
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Hot off his appearance in the box office hit 'Sinners,' blues legend Buddy Guy is returning to Rockford for an encore of his farewell tour in June. Guy, now 88, will appear at Rockford's Coronado Performing Arts Center on June 27th, 2025. He is the recipient of 34 Blues Music Awards, more than any artist has received. He is also a Kennedy Center Honoree and received the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its '100 Greats Guitarists of All Time.' In 1957, he took his guitar to Chicago, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and the rest of the label's legendary roster, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer. Guy will appear with guest Ronnie Baker Brooks for his Damn Right Encore! tour at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 27th. Tickets are now on sale on and at the Coronado box office. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Joe Dea, Reality TV and Music Video Director, Dies at 71
Joseph 'Joe' Dea, a music video director, reality TV director and four-time Emmy winner, died Sunday of glioblastoma in Alameda, Calif. He was 71. Always an early adopter of cutting-edge visual technology, Dea's fascination with the blend of painting and cinematic technique began at the University of Hartford's Hartford Art School. His first forays into video art in the late 1970s were exhibited at New York's Whitney Museum, The Kitchen and Global Village; later he joined San Francisco's video collective, The Optic Nerve. While in San Francisco, he became a founding member of Videowest, the groundbreaking comedy, music video and alternative news production company. Dea was an integral contributor to Videowest, creating segments for magazine shows like USA's 'TakeOFF' and ABC's 'Backstage Pass,' to OnTV's 'Rock ONTV' and segments for MTV's music news. He conceptualized, designed and directed more than 30 music videos, five of which are included in Rolling Stone Magazine's All-Time Top 100 Videos. Greg Kihn's 'Jeopardy' and 'Happy Man' are on the list along with Krokus' 'Screaming in the Night,' the first heavy metal video to air in prominent rotation on MTV. His 1980 video, the Emmy-winning, 'Two Triple Cheese, Side Order of Fries' for Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, with its visual effects of dancing French fries and flying cheeseburgers cut to energetic rock and roll, earned the video a spot in Rolling Stone Magazine's Music Video Hall of Fame and a place in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art. In the late 1980s, Dea moved to Los Angeles, where he directed multiple network, cable and syndicated TV episodes in genres such as documentary, reality, stunts, live music, animation, plus historic and crime dramatic re-creations. His credits on prime-time network specials for NBC and Fox include: 'Masters of Illusion: The Wizards of Special Effects' and 'The World's Greatest Stunts.' He was the senior director of TLC's long-running hit, 'A Wedding Story.' Dea also appeared on-screen, co-hosting the History Channel's 'What Went Down,' and served as background talent on 'The Young and the Restless.' His work was featured at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art and the Museum of Neon Art. Dea is survived by his wife Melissa Force, stepdaughter Tamara Miller; stepson Dylan Miller and six step-grandchildren; and sisters Elaine Dea and Maureen Dea. Donations may be made to UCSF Foundation, P.O. Box 45339, San Francisco, CA 94145 in memory of Joseph C. Dea (7001220).
