85

Sabrina Carpenter is in her pop provocateur era, doggedly defiant, scandalously cheeky, and completely unbothered. After nearly breaking the internet with her single “Manchild” and igniting a culture war with her risqué album cover, the 25-year-old pop phenom has now unveiled the full tracklist for her highly anticipated sixth studio album, Man’s Best Friend, due August 29.

And let’s just say: she’s not playing nice.

A Tracklist Tailored to Chaos

Carpenter revealed the titles of the album’s songs one by one over the past week, orchestrating a cheeky scavenger hunt that involved fans posting selfies with puppies and holding signs showing off the individual track names. It was playful, intimate, and unmistakably Sabrina. Today, the full 12-song lineup was finally unleashed in its entirety.

Here’s the complete tracklist for Man’s Best Friend:

1. Manchild






2. Tears






3. My Man on Willpower






4. Sugar Talking






5. We Broke Up Again Last Night






6. Nobody’s Son






7. Never Getting Laid






8. When Did You Get Hot?






9. Go Go Juice






10. Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry






11. House Tour






12. Goodbye

With song titles that read like messy texts from a relationship autopsy, the album promises a cocktail of romantic disillusionment, sarcastic rage, and emotional chaos all tied together with Carpenter’s now-trademark wink.

“Manchild” Sets the Tone and the Charts on Fire

The album’s lead single “Manchild” dropped in early June and instantly set the tone for what Man’s Best Friend is about: toxic relationships, immaturity, and the feminine art of calling bulls**t with a catchy hook.

Written alongside frequent collaborators Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, who helped sculpt the sound of 2024’s Short n’ Sweet, “Manchild” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her second chart-topper following “Please, Please, Please.” The hit blends bubblegum melodies with biting commentary, a balance Carpenter has perfected in recent years as she’s stepped fully into her pop star power.

The Controversial Cover: Canine Allegory or Cultural Grenade?

While Carpenter’s music has been celebrated for its fearless femininity, it’s the album cover of Man’s Best Friend that truly set tongues wagging. The original artwork depicts Carpenter on all fours, being yanked by the hair by a man in a suit, imagery that sparked immediate online outrage, accusations of misogyny, kink-baiting, and even religious offense.

In typical Sabrina fashion, she responded not with an apology but with art and shade. She dropped an alternative black-and-white cover showing her peacefully resting her head on the shoulder of a suited man. Her caption? “here is a new alternative cover approved by God.”

A Pop Star Who Knows Her Audience and Her Moment

Sabrina Carpenter’s rise from Disney darling to Gen Z’s reigning pop antihero hasn’t been accidental. With every glittery diss track and tongue-in-cheek video, she continues to rewrite the rules of mainstream pop stardom. And she does so with a firm grasp on social media virality, the cultural zeitgeist, and how to turn backlash into Billboard domination.

In a tweet celebrating the full tracklist reveal, Carpenter gushed,

“thank you to all my beautiful perfect fans that helped me reveal the tracklist for Man’s Best Friend🐾 the final track reveal is… track #2 ‘Tears’ can’t believe the album will be in your ears in exactly 4 weeks ♡”

If the public response to Manchild and her last record is any indication, Man’s Best Friend won’t just be heard, it’ll be felt, fought over, and probably memed to oblivion.

President Donald Trump threw several personal insults at radio personality Charlamagne Tha God following the “The Breakfast Club” star’s recent interview on Fox News’s “My View with Lara Trump.”

In a fiery Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump called Charlamagne, real name Lenard McKelvey, a “racist sleazebag” after the Black radio veteran told the president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, that he believed Trump was doing a “terrible job” since returning to the White House.

“I don’t want to say that I think he did a terrible job, but if he’s doing a terrible job, I gotta call it like it is,” said Charlamagne, who noted that he said the same about former President Joe Biden, a Democrat.

He continued, “All we want is somebody in those positions that’s going to do a good job. I’m not a party person, in no way, shape or form.”

Trump, an avid viewer of Fox News, apparently watched the Saturday night broadcast and made it clear he was not a fan of Charlamagne–or his stage name.

“Why is he allowed to use the word “GOD” when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?” wrote Trump, who added, “He’s a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done.”

Trump, who has made clear in recent months that he believes he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, listed the number of wars and international conflicts he was able to negotiate, including the peace agreement secured between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. The president also touted himself for closing the “horrendous open” U.S. southern border and “creating the greatest economy, where prices and inflation have come way down.”

The latest economic data actually shows that core consumer prices have risen and the job market is cooling, which is causing concern for sustained or rising inflation and potentially an economic crisis, such as a recession.

Trump also attacked his predecessor, Biden, calling him “STUPID” and “CORRUPT” and claiming Biden set the record for “doing the Worst Job as President, EVER” (there is no official “record” for U.S. presidents’ performances in office).

Trump concluded his Truth Social attack on Charlamagne, writing, “But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala? Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!”

During his appearance on Lara Trump’s show, Charlamagne warned Republicans that the political party will face a crossroads once Trump’s second and final term ends, much like what happened to Democrats after the presidency of Barack Obama.

He explained, “Republicans are going to make the same mistake that Democrats made…Barack Obama was a once-in-a-lifetime, you know, political juggernaut. And since Barack Obama, every Democrat has tried to be Barack Obama. You’re not Barack. You can’t.”

Similarly, he said of Republicans, “So if you think you’re going to be able to do what Donald Trump has done, talk the way Donald Trump has talked, get away with what Donald Trump has got away with. It’s not going to happen.”

Charlamagne continued, “I think that…traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back. I think there’s a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren’t paying attention to.”

He argued that the Jeffrey Epstein controversy that Trump is facing will give traditional conservatives an opportunity to “take their party back” from him.

“That has gotten the base riled up…the MAGA base isn’t letting this issue go,” he said.

Kamala Harris says she’s over it!

The former VP and 2024 presidential candidate sat down with Stephen Colbert for her first big interview since taking that major L to Trump — and sis isn’t sugarcoating a thing.
“IRecently I made the decision that I just – for now – I don’t want to go back in the system. I think it’s broken.”

“I always believed, that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that they’re not as strong as they need to be. And for now I don’t want to go back into that system.”

Kamala made it crystal clear that she’s stepping back from the political rat race… and she’s not eyeing the California Governor seat either.
“I’ve been there. I’m not running.”

📚 SHE’S WRITING — NOT RUNNING

Instead of campaigning, Kamala’s got a new mission: listening to the people.
“For now, I don’t want to go back into the system. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people. And I don’t want it to be transactional where I’m asking for their vote.”

She’s also dropping a new memoir titled 107 Days, reflecting on the chaotic journey of her 2024 run.

According to The Guardian, ‘107 Days’ relates the story of the shortest presidential run of all time. She said it would give a “behind-the-scenes sharing” of those intense days.

💬 REAL TALK FROM KAMALA

“Perhaps it’s naive of me, someone who has seen a lot that most people haven’t seen but I believed that on some level, there are many, there should be many, who consider themselves to be guardians of our system and our democracy who just capitulated. And I didn’t, didn’t see that coming,” said Kamala.

According to reports CNN, was also asked to name a leader of the Democratic Party but refused, saying there were many but that she would leave someone out.

“It is a mistake for us who want to figure out how to get out and through this and get out of it to put it on the shoulders of any one person. It’s really on all of our shoulders. It really is.”

🗣️ Noir Nation, what y’all think?

Is Kamala walking away for good—or just regrouping for a bigger comeback?

In a candid and deeply personal revelation, Khloé Kardashian has spoken out about why she stepped up to be the primary caregiver for her ex Tristan Thompson’s younger brother, Amari, an 18-year-old with a severe type of epilepsy. The businesswoman, reality TV star, and mother of two opened up about the personal family decision on the latest episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, sharing unheard details about the medical, emotional, and family reasons why she stepped in.

A Family Tragedy, A Lifelong Bond

Amari Thompson, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare and debilitating form of epilepsy that causes multiple seizures daily, is unable to walk or speak. He was cared for by his and Tristan’s mother, Andrea Thompson, in Canada for years. However, when Andrea passed away suddenly in January 2023, the family was devastated and Amari was left without a caregiver.

Many assumed Tristan, Amari’s older brother and an NBA player, would take custody. But it was Khloé who ultimately stepped up in a way few expected.

“People are always like, ‘Why did I do that? Me and Tristan aren’t together, why would I take on helping with Amari?’” she said on her podcast. “But when I met Tristan’s family almost 10 years ago, I became close friends with Andrea. I helped her with Amari’s medical care. I was involved in his appointments. My relationship with Andrea has nothing to do with my relationship with Tristan.”

From Reality Star to Caregiver

While she split from Thompson in 2021 after he impregnated another woman, Khloé insisted that her commitment to Amari was unwavering. The Good American founder detailed that after Andrea’s death, she, Tristan, and other family members brought Amari to Los Angeles, where Khloé would now care for him full time alongside her own children, True, 7, and Tatum, 3.

“Tristan is in the NBA and constantly traveling. That lifestyle isn’t ideal for someone like Amari,” she explained. “He has a handful of seizures every day. It’s just not conducive for him to be flying around or being in a different state every other day.”

Khloé went on that California’s stable weather has helped to improve Amari’s health, and that her Los Angeles home now has two “sensational caretakers” to assist with his daily care.

“We just want to provide Amari with the best, most beautiful life that we know how,” she said.

A Motherly Mission and a Teaching Moment

Khloé’s decision isn’t just about meeting medical needs. It’s also a conscious parenting choice. She spoke passionately about how Amari’s presence has positively impacted her children, calling it a “gift” to raise them in a home where compassion and understanding are everyday values.

“It’s so important for my kids to be exposed to all different types of people in the world,” she said. “I think it teaches compassion. Amari may be disabled, sure, but he’s also just like us.”

And although Amari is non-verbal, Khloé says his personality shines through in other ways.  “If you know him well enough, you see it. You see the glimmer in his eyes. He can definitely express himself. He lights up around the kids. He’s an amazing, amazing young man.”

A Legal and Emotional Task

Amari’s future became a public matter in September 2023, when Tristan filed for temporary legal guardianship, citing that their biological father, Trevor Thompson, had been absent since 2014. While Tristan handled the legal filings, it is Khloé who has physically and emotionally provided the environment Amari now calls home.

Her decision, she says, was never about rekindling a romance or seeking praise. It was simply about love, loyalty, and family.

“I have chosen to take care of him and be there for him because it’s not good that he travels,” she said. “Amari deserves my love and care, regardless of where me and Tristan stand.”

From Scandal to Selflessness

This new chapter in Khloé Kardashian’s life marks a big shift for a woman who was once the personification of tabloid drama. Her very public split with Thompson was messy and headline-making. But what has followed is something that nobody could have predicted: a quiet, stable kind of unconditional caring.

Even in the wake of betrayal and heartbreak, Khloé has redefined what it means to show up for someone not for image, not for attention, but because it’s the right thing to do.

“I’m so proud and honored that I have Amari in my life,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “And I love having him be a part of my family.”

MONTREAL (AP) — Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko upset top-seeded Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-4 on Saturday night to reach the National Bank Open quarterfinals.

“Your support was incredible,” Mboko told the crowd in French after a chorus of “Olé, Olé, Olé!” chants echoed around the venue. “I’m really happy to win today. .. It’s incredible. I’m so happy to beat such a great champion.”

Gauff dropped to 2-3 since winning the French Open. She followed the major victory with opening losses in Berlin and Wimbledon, then overcame double-fault problems to win two three-set matches in Montreal. Gauff had five double-faults Saturday after having 23 in her opener against Danielle Collins and 14 against Veronika Kudermetova.

“She’s playing high-level tennis.” Gauff said. “I think that’s what showed today. I think she was the better player.”

The 18-year-old Mboko, ranked 85th in the world, finished off the 21-year-old Gauff — who had 24 unforced errors — in 1 hour, 2 minutes.

“When I was up 5-4, the crowd started cheering even louder, and everything got super noisy,” Mboko said. “I used that as more fuel for myself and to pump myself up a little bit more. I just used the crowd to my advantage as much as I could.”

Mboko will face Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain, a 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 winner over Lin Zhu of China in a rain-interrupted match that ended just before midnight.

In Rome in May, Gauff rallied to beat Mboko 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.

“I was actually really thinking about it a lot during the match,” Mboko said. “I had flashbacks to when I played her in Rome a little bit. I just remember when she came out playing even better and stepped it up a bit better. Wanted to step my game up a little bit more and make sure I matched whatever she was producing, and I wanted to stay right there with her.”

Earlier, 24th-seeded Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine and ninth-seeded Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan set up a quarterfinal match. Kostyuk beat McCartney Kessler of the United States 5-7, 6-3, 6-3, and Rybakina topped Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine 5-7, 6-2, 7-5.

Noir Nation; just when folks thought the coast was officially clear, Ring Doorbell company has doubled back on its surveillance timing!

The Amazon-owned company has quietly reactivated a feature that allows law enforcement to request video footage from users through a new partnership with Axon, the makers of police body cams.

“This is about going back to the mission I started Ring with—to make neighborhoods safer,” Ring founder Jamie Siminoff told reporters after stepping back in as CEO.

👀 New Partnership, Same Old Surveillance Concerns

Here’s how it works now: If the cops want footage, they can make a formal request via Axon’s portal. Users get a notification and can choose to accept or decline. But many privacy experts aren’t buying the “choice” narrative.

“This isn’t about safety—it’s about control,” one digital privacy advocate warned. Let’s not forget, Ring settled with the FTC in 2023 for $5.8 million over staff misusing customer videos.

And even if you decline, Ring doesn’t tell police who said no—but your footage might still be up for grabs through other means.

⚠️ The Bigger Picture

Ring once boasted about cutting ties with law enforcement to protect user privacy. But this move signals a return to surveillance culture masked as community safety—and some folks aren’t feeling it.

According to reports from The Verge, Ring has faced legal issues in the past after allegedly helping police convince users to share their video footage, back in 2019. In 2023, Ring agreed to pay $5.8 million to settle a lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) following claims that its cameras enabled Ring workers and hackers to illegally spy on users.

Yes, That Was Real: TWICE Just Changed the Game

What started as a historic night for K-pop turned into a full-blown cultural reset when TWICE’s Momo and Nayeon delivered that now-infamous dance break during the group’s Lollapalooza 2025 headline set. Yes, twerking. Or something like it. And no, the internet has not been the same since.

TWICE already made history the moment they hit the stage in Chicago’s Grant Park on August 2 as the first all-female K-pop act to headline Lolla. But no one could’ve predicted that two of the group’s most beloved members would set social media on fire with a move so unexpected, so unbothered, and so utterly iconic, that it became the night’s defining moment.

The Dance Break Seen Around the World

Somewhere between the group’s crisp live vocals, synchronized formations, and drone-lit skies spelling out “HONMOON” (a nod to their KPop Demon Hunters era), came a short yet seismic interlude. The beat dropped, Momo stepped forward, Nayeon followed, and then came the move. Hips popped. Booties bounced. And fans? Fans lost it.

Even if you blinked, fancams were ready. Within minutes, clips of the duo’s performance flooded TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), sparking a hurricane of screams, confusion, and meme-worthy one-liners.

Social Media Reactions Were Instant, Unhinged, and Absolutely Perfect

The reactions speak for themselves:

• “THIS IS INSANE WHAT THE FUCK”






• “I’m not screaming, you are”






• “i saw this and thought it was sana wdym THATS NAYEON”






• “Sooo is this gonna be part of their THIS IS FOR tour??”






• “it’s been 4 hrs and im never over this”






• “Not twerking but whatever they f*cking hot as hell HELLO?!!”

Then there were the doubters and the philosophers:

• “Where is the twerk? Lol”






• “There is no way that’s twerking, they just booty humping the air 😐”






• “Is the twerking here with us?”

And one fan said what we were all thinking:
“they’re trying to outcunt each other but they realized they outcunt everyone when they’re together”

TWICE Isn’t the Same Group You Met in 2015

Let’s be real. This isn’t the TWICE of “Cheer Up” and “TT” anymore. This is a fully matured, world-dominating girl group who knows exactly what they’re doing. The choreography may not have been textbook twerking, but it was a bold flex. Momo, the group’s dance ace, and Nayeon, its resident It-girl, brought a level of chemistry that blurred the line between fanservice and straight-up power play.

They knew the cameras were rolling. They knew the clips would go viral. They knew fans would be screaming, and they delivered with a wink.

A New Era, A New TWICE

With their fourth studio album This Is For fresh off its July release, TWICE’s Lolla set wasn’t just a festival slot. It was a statement. They performed 21 songs, blending older fan favorites with newer, genre-pushing material. Their live vocals were on point. Their stage presence was electric. Their confidence was off the charts.

And while other artists like Rüfüs Du Sol, Doechii, and Orion Sun gave standout performances that day, TWICE owned the night. They didn’t just represent K-pop. They represented a version of it that’s evolving, unapologetic, grown, and unafraid to shake things up (literally).

We’ll Be Talking About This for a Long Time

The final day of Lollapalooza 2025 may feature names like A$AP Rocky and Sabrina Carpenter, but the impact of Day 3 already belongs to TWICE. That NaMo moment will live on in GIFs, tweets, edits, and ONCE lore. Not because of how wild it was, but because it captured everything fans love about TWICE in one tight, hip-popping frame: boldness, chemistry, and the power to make the whole world stop for 10 seconds.

And if this is a preview of what’s coming on their This Is For world tour?

We are absolutely not ready.
