Sabrina Carpenter Cuffs Miss Piggy to Wrap Short n’ Sweet Tour

The Short n’ Sweet era has officially ended, and what a conclusion it was! At her final tour stop at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Sabrina Carpenter chose to finish with a flourish by inviting a notably chaotic guest: Miss Piggy. Carpenter told the crowd, “You guys are so beautiful it should be a crime,” before playfully asking Miss Piggy for her name, setting up a hilarious “arrest.”

Miss Piggy, always the diva, confirmed her identity and offered to share “a few notes” about the show afterward. Her security, Bobo the Bear, humorously warned fans to keep their distance and provided Carpenter with proper cuffs, quipping, “Tell it to the judge, sister,” before she began performing “Juno.” The spontaneous moment made the final night a memorable blend of emotional farewell and pop culture fun.

Singapore Deportation and Ban Follows Arrest of Ariana Grande's Premiere Intruder

Australian citizen Johnson Wen, 26, has been deported and permanently barred from re-entering Singapore after his arrest for rushing and grabbing Ariana Grande at the Wicked: For Good red carpet premiere last week. Wen, who gained notoriety on social media as "Troll Most Hated," was charged with public nuisance after he ran up to the star. The incident, captured on viral footage, caused widespread outrage and resulted in Wen being sentenced to nine days in prison before his forced departure from the country.

The intervention by Grande's co-star, Cynthia Erivo, who helped security fight off the intruder, made major headlines. Erivo later addressed the moment on NBC’s Today, explaining her immediate reaction: “I wasn’t really thinking. I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe... That was my first instinct.” The action taken by the Singaporean authorities, including sentencing, deportation, and a permanent ban, concludes the legal proceedings regarding the highly publicized intrusion.
