US pop star Sabrina Carpenter has announced she will be releasing a new album called Man's Best Friend later in the summer.

In a message to fans, she said: 'My new album Man's Best Friend releases Aug 29 I didn't plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio, and when it doesn't, I still go to the studio.
'But luckily life was really happening to me and inspiration struck!
'I tried not to overthink the process this time, I felt so at ease making Man's Best Friend that I felt like it was a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted as every inch came together so effortlessly, different from my other previous projects where I'd bang my head to crack numerous codes.

'This one felt like riding a bike! I went back to some of my favourite artists growing up listening to a lot of Stevie, Dolly, Donna etc and was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time.
'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!'
According to the Official Charts Company the singer is the first female artist in history to score both the UK's number one album and single simultaneously, while holding all three top positions on the singles chart with Taste at number one, Please Please Please at number two, and Espresso at number three.

Her music videos have seen appearances from a number of famous faces including Irish actor Barry Keoghan in Please, Please, Please.
The Saltburn actor was romantically linked to Carpenter in late 2023, but they were reported to have split late last year.
Carpenter is due to headline Hyde Park's British Summer Time festival (BST) this July where she will be joined by special guests including Clairo and Olivia Dean across two performances.
Man's Best Friend will be released on August 29.

NFL quarterback Zach Wilson marries partner Nicolette in beautiful New York wedding
NFL quarterback Zach Wilson and his partner Nicolette tied the knot on Saturday in a classy Manhattan wedding. Wilson, now a member of the Dolphins, began his career in New York as he spent his first three seasons with the Jets. And the 25-year-old returned to the Big Apple this weekend as he and Nicolette (formerly Dellanno) wed at St. Patrick's Cathedral. In an Instagram story posted by Kennedy Stidham, the wife of Wilson's former Broncos teammate Jarrett Stidham, the couple looked to be in good spirits as they walked out of the church and raised their arms in the air. The newlyweds could later be seen sharing a first dance and cutting their wedding cake in front of their guests. Wilson wore a classic black tux for the occasion, while Nicolette kept things similarly traditional with a flowy white wedding dress. The couple, who met in 2022, looked overjoyed as they cut their cake during their party She later wrote on her Instagram story that it had been the 'best night ever,' with the couple celebrating their nuptials at the fancy Rainbow Room following their ceremony. The couple, who have been linked since 2022, announced their engagement last June after Wilson popped the question in Italy. Nicolette later gushed about her beau as she posted about the milestone and showed off her new ring. 'Zach, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me,' she captioned a photo of her wearing a ring alongside Wilson. 'Everyday I admire your strength and i'm so incredibly proud of you. 'I'm so in love with you and can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together i love you.' Dellanno, a native of New Jersey, met Wilson while he was playing for the Jets. Wilson spent his 2024 NFL season as a backup for the Denver Broncos, but did not see the field Wilson and Dellanno traveled to Hawaii for their friends' wedding earlier this year The team replaced him with Aaron Rodgers after two difficult seasons at the helm, but Wilson was thrust into action once again during the 2023 season after Rodgers injured his Achilles in his debut for the team. Wilson was traded to the Broncos the following year, and he did not see the field in Denver as he served as the third-string quarterback behind Bo Nix and Stidham. Wilson then signed a one-year, $6million deal with Miami that could rise to $10million with incentives, according to multiple reports. He is expected to back up Tua Tagovailoa on the Dolphins.

I divorced my husband - and he took all our friends with him. I thought we had a bond but I was totally shunned. This is what it's like: KATE WILLS
The hurt was all the sharper because I had no idea why Laura* did it. I had long regarded her as one of my best friends, our bond built on a shared love of the Kardashians and Victorian literature. We were extremely close, or so I thought – I was godmother to her two children, one of only three guests at her wedding – and yet, bumping into her at a mutual friend's art exhibition several months ago, she dismissed me as nothing more than an old distant acquaintance.

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Meghan's £6.50-a-jar 'crafted' raspberry jam is made on an industrial estate 2,000 miles from Montecito
Her pricey jams are said to be ' inspired by the recipe Meghan Markle crafted in her home kitchen '. To emphasise the homely yet aspirational message, a heartwarming Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at home in California as four-year-old daughter Lilibet praises it as 'beautiful'. But until now mystery has surrounded exactly where the £6.50-a-jar raspberry spread sold by the Duchess of Sussex under her As Ever brand are actually made. Today the Mail can reveal that the sweet treat is manufactured by the same US giant which sells her £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey - priced at £20 ($28) a jar. Additionally the factory makes a 'strawberry and wild rose' preserve as part of a tie-up with Bridgerton - the hit series set in Regency England made by Netflix, with whom the Sussexes also have a deal. The firm - which has the decidedly un-Royal name The Republic of Tea - is headquartered in Larkspur, California, 350 miles away from Meghan's Montecito mansion. However its factory is 2,000 miles away in Illinois. Sources said that in order to formulate the commercially available product, they 'started with the version Meghan makes at home and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale.' With half-a-million visits to her As Ever website after the last 'product drop' on June 20, a tie-up with a commercial manufacturer was inevitable to satisfy customer demand. Neither the Sussexes nor Netflix has yet confirmed exactly where the spread - currently marked on Meghan's website as 'coming soon' - is made, or where the raspberries are sourced. But a source close to the Duchess said that in order to formulate the commercially available product, they 'started with the version Meghan makes at home and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale.' Nevertheless after months of marketing the preserve as an artisanal 'crafted' product, the truth will only increase scrutiny of the brand's sustainability credentials. Her website describes her 'signature' raspberry jam as 'inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen' – and also says it was deliberately ' crafted with a fluid texture '. But a video shared by the Duchess shows that her spread is made in a factory, with fingers quickly pointed at The Republic of Tea, which also makes a fruit preserve. Last week Mail Online revealed that it appears Meghan's hibiscus, lemon ginger and peppermint teas are made by the firm thanks to tell-tale metadata on the As Ever website. Meghan's £9 ($12) tins of hibiscus tea contain 12 bags, equivalent to 73p per cup - three times as much as Republic of Tea's own product. The Duchess has gone to great lengths to portray the preserve as an artisanal product. There was an enchanting video posted to her Instagram Stories showing a bubbling pot of the jam and featuring four-year-old Lilibet Its 'Natural Hibiscus Tea Bags' retail at £8.45 ($11.50) for a tin of 36, working out at 24p (32 cents) per cup, albeit in differently-shaped bags. Republic of Tea also makes jars of Bridgerton strawberry and wild rose tea fruit preserve, priced at £9 ($12) for a 306g jar - working out at around the same price per gram as Meghan's offering. Its ingredients are listed as: 'Strawberries, cane sugar, wild rose syrup (custom rose tea blend, rosewater, cane sugar), lemon juice, fruit pectin.' Meanwhile Meghan's As Ever raspberry spread - it is not, technically, a jam because of its high fruit content - is made from: 'Raspberries, organic pure cane sugar, organic lemon juice concentrate and fruit pectin'. Meghan revealed for the first time in February that 'jam is my jam' – and recorded a video explaining why those who know her best are aware of her secret love of making jam. When she first released 50 fruit spreads and sent them to her nearest and dearest friends she was careful to point out that each one was home made at her kitchen table using her own recipe. On her Netflix show With Love, Meghan described harvesting berries in her kitchen, making small-batch jars, saying: 'I did save one of 50 for my mom.' Meghan's As Ever products including her jam launched in April and rapidly sold out Last night a source close to Meghan confirmed to the Daily Mail that Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread but said the supplier was changing. The firm also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey - priced at £20 ($28) a jar - although it is not known whether it also manufacturers her newly-released apricot preserve. In a statement, US streaming giant Netflix said: 'Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. 'It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly. 'We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever products throughout the year and beyond.'
