Adult Star Lily Phillips Aims to Break 24-Hour Sex World Record Amid Health Warnings

British adult entertainer Lily Phillips is preparing for a world record attempt to sleep with the most men in 24 hours. The event, set for January, aims to surpass the current record of 919 men, held by Lisa Sparks since 2004. Sparks previously admitted the feat left her in pain for a week and described the experience as grueling. Phillips, 23, has been training for months, gradually increasing the number of partners. She recently completed a 14-hour session with 101 men, describing the effort as "so much harder than a 9-to-5 job." She plans to ramp up to 300 participants in the coming weeks. Despite her determination, Phillips acknowledges the physical toll, saying it’s “hard work.” Medical professionals have raised concerns over the extreme nature of such an attempt.

Travis Barker Helps MGK and Megan Fox Reconcile, Leading to Baby News

Travis Barker played a pivotal role in helping Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Megan Fox rebuild their relationship, leading to their recent baby news. A source revealed that the Blink-182 drummer provided tough love and guidance when MGK turned to him after Megan initially ended things. “MGK really looks up to Travis,” the insider shared. “Travis, being sober and experienced, didn’t coddle him. Instead, he encouraged him to take responsibility and get his life together.” The 49-year-old musician also mediated between the couple, convincing Megan not to close the door entirely. Once MGK, 34, showed he was serious about making changes, including getting sober, Travis helped initiate therapy for the pair. The journey wasn’t easy. Megan, 38, and MGK, who started dating in 2020 and got engaged in 2022, faced rumors of a breakup last year after Megan removed photos of MGK from her social media. Despite reconciling months later, it wasn’t until August 2023 that MGK took a major step by enterin...

Madison’s character, one of the film’s Ghostface killers, was involved in the heartbreaking murder of Dewey, a fan-favorite character. Reflecting on the moment, Madison expressed her sadness about the loss of such an iconic character. “I remember being kind of sad because I was like, ‘Oh, such a great character. It...

Cate Blanchett Warns AI Threatens Creativity and Society Beyond Hollywood

Cate Blanchett has expressed deep concerns about the growing influence of artificial intelligence, warning of its potential to disrupt industries far beyond Hollywood. The two-time Oscar winner shared her thoughts in a recent BBC interview, highlighting the risks AI poses to creativity, employment, and society as a whole. Blanchett, known for her performances in Blue Jasmine and Borderlands , acknowledged that the entertainment industry is particularly vulnerable. “AI can totally replace anyone,” she said, referencing its ability to replicate actors and other creative roles.

Shia LaBeouf Accuses FKA Twigs of Manipulating Legal Process in Ongoing Lawsuit

Shia LaBeouf is in a heated legal battle with his ex-girlfriend, FKA Twigs, as he accuses her of "gamesmanship" over their ongoing deposition disputes. In documents obtained by In Touch, Shia claims that FKA is manipulating the legal process, asking a judge to intervene in their case. The conflict began in 2020 when FKA filed a lawsuit against Shia, alleging sexual battery and abuse during their relationship from 2018 to 2019.

Hailey Welch Faces Backlash Over $HAWK Meme Coin Collapse

Hailey Welch, known for her viral "Hawk Tuah" meme, is facing criticism after launching a cryptocurrency that saw a dramatic rise and fall in value. On Wednesday, Welch introduced a $HAWK meme coin on the Solana blockchain. Initially, the coin’s market cap soared to $500 million but quickly dropped to $60 million, an 88% decline, according to Express Tribune . Many have accused Welch of “rug pulling,” a practice where insiders sell off large amounts of a cryptocurrency, causing its value to plummet and leaving other investors with little to no return. Others in the crypto community suggested the value crash could be due to "sniping," where larger investors buy up the majority of tokens, putting smaller investors at significant risk. The sharp decline has led to an outpouring of backlash on social media, with fans expressing frustration over financial losses. Some mocked Welch with references to her podcast, saying, “She’s gonna have to Talk Tuah judge soon,” while...
