Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter’s latest music video appears to have drawn the wrath of God – or his representatives, at least. Brooklyn bishop Robert Brennan criticised Carpenter’s music video 'Feather,' which was filmed at a church in New York, for being too raunchy. The video features Carpenter wearing a short dress as several men kill each other over her. It also shows her going to their funerals at the church. One of the coffins says: “RIP B****.” While the video is distinctly pedestrian by pop music standards, it appears to have disturbed Brennan, who said he was “appalled”. He also slammed the local parish for letting the filming take place at all, launched a full investigation and sacked the vicar, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello. Yikes. “The parish did not follow diocesan policy regarding the filming on church property, which includes a review of the scenes and script,” Brennan’s statement read. Carpenter, meanwhile, seemed to see the funny side. Shortly after the bishop made his announcement, she published a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, where she jokingly claimed to have built the church herself. The parish initially tried to blame the production company for failing to “accurately represent” the planned content of the video. However, Brennan’s investigation found that documents given to the parish “while failing to depict the entirety of the scenes, clearly portray inappropriate behaviour unsuitable for a church sanctuary”. After all this, Brennan also decided he needed to re-sanctify the church with holy water, just in case Carpenter’s music video had done some permanent spiritual damage. “Through the offering of this mass, Bishop Brennan has restored the sanctity of this church and repaired the harm,” the diocese said in a statement. Since its release on Tuesday, the Feather music video has since garnered more than 3m views. And social media users also found the episode amusing.

While the rest of the footballing world was taken by surprise by Chelsea’s 4-1 battering of league hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur, Paul Merson shared a hilarious meme after his prediction was proved right. Mid-table Chelsea took on an in-form Spurs at their Tottenham stadium on Monday (8 November), in what turned out to be an action-packed game with two red cards, five disallowed goals, a penalty and a last-minute hat-trick. Speaking ahead of the match on Sky Sports, former footballer and pundit Paul Merson said he was “very confident for Chelsea on Monday night” and said he would be “shocked” if they lost. Another person on the punditry team could be heard saying, “clip that up”, suggesting that Merson would be proven wrong. As it turned out, he wasn’t. After the game, Merson hilariously shared the video of his prediction along with the Kevin James meme of the actor smirking and shrugging his shoulders. The post has gathered over 91,000 likes and been viewed 5.4 million times, as people admired the hilarious trolling of Spurs’ defeat. “Merson my hero,” one fan replied. “I love Merse, how has he said this and managed to look like a genuis within our generation,” another said. Chelsea beat Spurs 4-1 in the London thriller after the home side initially went 1-0 up after 6 minutes with a goal from Dejan Kulusevski. Spurs defender Cristian Romero conceded a penalty and was sent off in the 33rd minute. Cole Palmer converted the penalty taking the score to 1-1. After a second Tottenham defender, Destiny Udogie, was given a red card in the 55th minute, the floodgates eventually opened as Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick.
