Sabrina Carpenter hits back with cheeky alternative to provocative album cover
Sabrina Carpenter is barking back at the backlash surrounding her suggestive album cover.
The outspoken pop star is set to release her new album "Man's Best Friend" on Aug. 29, but the 26-year-old "Espresso" hitmaker took to social media Wednesday, June 25, to sarcastically slam critics of her provocative album cover.
In her caption, Carpenter wrote that she "signed some copies of Man's Best Friend for you guys & here is a new alternate cover approved by God available now on my website" alongside a white heart emoji.
The breakout singer's June 11 album announcement garnered criticism with its imagery showing Carpenter, dressed in a black dress and high heels, kneeling on the ground in a dog-like pose while an unidentified man stands off to the side and pulls her by the hair.
Sabrina Carpenter sparks controversy with provocative 'Man's Best Friend' album cover
In the new photos, Carpenter faces the camera and looks away in two separate shots – one close-up and another full-body photograph – as she stands and holds onto a man, with her hands on his arm and back.
"Man's Best Friend," Carpenter's seventh studio effort, follows the release of her breakthrough 2024 album "Short n' Sweet," which catapulted her to superstardom after the former Disney star worked for years in the music industry.
The album, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, spawned the hit singles "Espresso," "Please Please Please," "Taste" and "Bed Chem," as well as solidified the singer's playful pin-up girl image.

Retro Trailer For Fred Dekker's 1986 Horror Film NIGHT OF THE CREEPS — GeekTyrant
This week's retro trailer is for the 1986 horror film Night of the Creeps, which comes from Fred Dekker ( The Monster Squad, House ). This is a gloriously weird mash-up of sci-fi horror and '80s teen comedy that wears its B-movie heart on its sleeve. The story follows two college freshmen who unwittingly unleash an alien parasite that turns people into zombie-like creatures. What starts as a quest to impress girls quickly spirals into a full-blown invasion of body-snatching slugs, with a haunted ex-cop (played by genre legend Tom Atkins) reluctantly stepping in to help clean up the mess. This thing is part creature feature, part detective noir, and part John Hughes flick… with flamethrowers. What makes Night of the Creeps so beloved by cult film fans is how much it leans into its love for horror tropes while still feeling fresh and self-aware. Dekker stuffs the movie with clever nods to classic horror, character names like Cronenberg and Romero are just the beginning, and injects it all with a sense of goofy, gory fun. The practical effects are gooey and satisfying, the one-liners are great,, and the whole thing feels like it was made by a horror geek for horror geeks.
