OnlyFans star Lily Phillips slept with 100 men in just 24 hours

Lucy Devine, writing for Unilad;

An OnlyFans star who slept with 100 men in one day broke down in tears while discussing her experience.

Documentary maker Joshua Pieters followed OnlyFans star Lily Phillips as she embarked on a stunt to sleep with 100 men in just 24 hours.

But it seems the challenge took its toll on Lily, who broke down in tears at the end of the stunt.

It’s been reported that Lily Phillips earned a whopping ÂŁ2 million, around ₱148.6 M, for stunt. The earnings comes mainly from her 36,000 Only Fan subscribers, who were able to livestreamed/watched the stunt in its entirety.

The math;

24 hours in one day, 60 minutes in one hour. This translate to 1440 minutes in one day, so each man she’s having s*x with have roughly 14 minutes. If you factor in the earnings, she earned ÂŁ20k each man she slept with.

Watch the D23 Brazil Trailer of Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* will be in Theaters on May 2nd, 2025

“We are the THUNDERBOLTS*!”

The fact that the schedules of Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* are so close together, makes me think that there will be a big connection between the two films.

Either same villain or the aftermath of the events in Captain America: Brave New World will require some cleanup, and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is tasked with doing it. That could be the reason for the asterisk (*).

My theory… by the end of Captain America: Brave New World, there will be “TO BE CONTINUED ON THE THUNDERBOLTS*!”

Watch the Official Trailer of Captain America: Brave New World

Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford star in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World. Watch the brand-new trailer and experience it only in theaters February 14.

Marvel drops Teaser Trailer of Thunderbolts*, will be in theaters on May 2025

The line “Careful who you assemble” in the video description can be interpreted in two ways;

  • You may think that you are “assembling” a great team to save the world but it was the other way around.
  • You are “assembling” a team with a bunch of “No Bodies” but in the end they’re the ones that gets the job done.

I also don’t think that this is Marvel’s version of the Suicide Squad. On Wikipedia, the exact release date of the film is on May 2, 2025,

Here’s the movie poster that @Marvel released a couple of days ago.

James Earl Jones Dies: Revered ‘Field Of Dreams’ Star, Darth Vader Voice & Broadway Regular Was 93   

Erik Pedersen, writing for Deadline;

James Earl Jones, the revered actor who voiced Star Wars villain Darth Vader, starred in Field of Dreams and many other films and Broadway shows and is an EGOT winner, died this morning at his home in Dutchess County, NY. He was 93.

James Earl Jones is one of the most recognizable voice in the film/movie industry.

The actor amassed nearly 200 screen credits during his brilliant 60-year career, starting some early-’60s TV guest roles and Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 classic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). He probably is best known for his voice role as the dastardly Darth Vader in George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy: Star Wars (1977) The Empire Strikes Back, 1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). He also reprised the villainous role in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker (2019) and TV’s Obi-Wan Kenobi and Star Wars: Rebels.

We can also add to this list for voicing Mufasa, in all of the Lion King franchise.

The movie teaser of Minecraft is bonkers

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative
the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

The trailer looks good and that’s a good start, specially if you watch all the reaction videos on Youtube. They have the star power and I just hope the story for the film is well written.
