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.

Carly Simon defends Sabrina Carpenter's controversial album cover, says it's not ‘outrageous'
Carly Simon is coming to Sabrina Carpenter's defense. During a recent interview, Simon reacted to Carpenter's album cover that caused quite a stir. Carpenter's album artwork for 'Man's Best Friend' showed a photo of the singer on her hands and knees, as a man appeared to be grabbing her by the hair. The 'Busy Woman' singer wore a black mini dress and matching heels in the photo. Simon argued the current outrage surrounding Carpenter's album is relatively mild, compared to past examples of bold artistic expression in the music industry. 'She's not doing anything outrageous,' the 'You're So Vain' singer said in an interview with Rolling Stone. 'It seems tame.' 'There have been far flashier covers than hers,' Simon said.

Popular chicken shop Fowl and Fury announce long-awaited opening date for Canton store
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A well established name on the Cardiff food scene is Fowl and Fury who have shot to success after starting as a pop-up in Sticky Fingers. Serving Nashville hot chicken, they are now opening their second chicken shop. The business, which started in lockdown in owner Jamie Rees' back garden before beginning in pop-up hot spot Sticky Fingers, currently has one restaurant in Cathays. Now they have announced the opening date for their new site in Canton on Cowbridge Road East. The Cowbridge Road East restaurant will open on Wednesday, July 11. They will be open from 5pm on their first day but only until they have served their first 100 sandos, for just £2 each. They are taking over the former Wiwo noodle bar and it has been eight months since the Fowl and Fury team first announced their new site, meaning customers are desperate to know when they can get a taste of Nashville in the west side of the city. Fowl and Fury is run by married couple Jamie and Natalia Rees and sells chicken in a range of heat levels from the gentle mild up to the brain melting Nashville Fury. Customers can either order chicken tenders or a sandwich (referred to as a 'sando') as well as a selection of sides. They've proudly called their four-table restaurant on Wyeverne Road in Cathays 'home' since 2022. Alongside their beloved sando, Fowl and Fury plan to offer milkshakes, soft serve and lemonades on the menu as well as extended opening hours at their new site. The team have not had an easy ride since taking over the site on King's Road in Canton. Writing on their Insta in February, they said: "We had originally intended our canton location to open by the end of January, then Feb, then March. knows?!? "There have unfortunately been more setbacks with the new restaurant than we can count (anything above 8 I'm out) and when you think there isn't a way something else can go wrong we find something we didn't even know could be a problem in the first place. "Plumbing, canopy, electricity, roofing, extraction, shutters, one of these things has had issues that push the build back week after week." In a post announcing their opening today, they said: "That's it! We're gonna open! Wednesday 11th of June from 5pm! "There will be 100 sandos available for £2 per sando. "Now though, it looks like they've got their issues sorted and are ready to go. First come first served. One sando per person. "One all sandos are gone, we will close for the night and reopen on Thursday at 4pm for regular hours." Fowl and Fury is not the only new opening in Cardiff. On Tuesday, June 3 new sandwich shop Square + Fair opened its doors for the first time. Located in the Royal Arcade Square + Fair is a new sandwich shop and offers up chunky focaccia sandwiches with fillings such as The Notorious PIG (pulled sticky cola pork), What the Cluck (shredded roast chicken with truffle cream cheese) and Sunday Best (roast Welsh beef with a gravy dipping tub). Not only do Square + Fair serve big sandwiches, they also offer a crisp option you may have not come across before. The cafe is home to a crisp station where you serve yourself plain crisps, add in the flavouring of your choice which includes options like chip shop curry, doner kebab, and southern fried chicken, shake, and away you go.

Nostalgic treat makes ice cream debut at Handel's
(WKBN) — A childhood favorite snack is getting chilly this summer at Handel's. Read next: Champion fire dept. warns of gas leak The local ice cream company announced Monday that this summer's special flavor will be Frosted Animal Cookie. This limited-time flavor is part of its 80th anniversary summer kickoff. 'Frosted Animal Cookie takes a beloved childhood treat and transforms it into a scoop that's both playful and nostalgic,' said Hillary Frei, Chief Marketing Officer of Handel's Ice Cream. 'As we celebrate 80 years of Handel's, there's no better time to share a joyful flavor that captures the spirit of summer and brings out the kid in all of us.' The flavor is a playful twist on a classic treat that's sure to spark childhood memories, featuring a cake-flavored ice cream base with a vanilla frosting ripple and frosted animal cookies mixed in. It becomes available at participating locations beginning Tuesday, June 3. The idea for the new flavor came from franchisee Joseph Ogden, who owns and operates the Thousand Oaks and Oxnard locations in California. During his training in Ohio, he pitched the concept for Frosted Animal Cookie, inspired by his childhood field trips to the zoo and the frosted cookies his grandmother used to share with him. 'I wanted to create something that felt like a bite of childhood,' said Ogden. 'Frosted Animal Cookie is fun, colorful, and packed with nostalgic flavor. It reminds me of the cookies my grandma used to give me after a day at the zoo. I'm proud to see it come to life and be part of Handel's 80th anniversary celebration.' Handel's regularly showcases franchisee-submitted flavors, kicking off 2025 with Sticky Fingers and Raspberry Dream Cream. Kristy Regula contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
