On Monday’s Carpool Karaoke segment of The Late Late Show with James Corden, pop icon Christina Aguilera was joined by actress Melissa McCarthy to sing her 2002 hit "Dirrty." Christina belted out her runs perfectly (yes gawd!) and Melissa McCarthy rapped Redman’s part.
We demand that "Dirrty" be re-released and Redman permanently replaced with McCarthy because, quite frankly, she did it better. What can we say? She spits bars!

This week, Sabrina Carpenter unexpectedly announced the follow-up to 2024's Short n' Sweet album, leading to a new wave of all-too-familiar puritanical pearl clutching.
"My new album, 'Man's Best Friend' is out on August 29, 2025," she wrote alongside the album art — a picture of her on her knees in front of a faceless, suited figure holding her hair — and another close-up image of a dog wearing a collar with a tag reflecting the album title.
