Bonnie Blue's 1000th Man Reveals Shocking Reason He Went Last

Bonnie Blue's 1000th Man Reveals Shocking Reason He Went Last

Last year, one of the most controversial adult content creators ever famously took on the stomach-churning challenge of having sex with 1000 men in a day. Although many men would be horrified at the thought of sleeping with a woman after 999 men had just moments before, one superfan was thrilled at the thought of going last, and the reason will make you gag, and not in the same way Bonnie Blue did that day. One of the adult star’s fans, who goes by the username Planbjoey, claims to be the last of 1000 men that Blue, real name Tia Billinger, had sex with at her headline-making event in January last year. After queuing for almost 20 hours outside a discreet location in London, Joey finally got his moment with his “beautiful inspiration”. During her 1000 men challenge the men all worse ski masks.

The 22-year-old content creator did not seem to mind the rushed time because he was so elated to have the last go. Why did the superfan want to be the last man? Explaining why he was so excited to be the 1000th man to penetrate the 27-year-old pornstar that day, Joey told VT : “I'm a daredevil, I like the, I like to be the last, being last, it, you get the best experience, like they say, save the best for last.” Describing an experience thankfully very few people will ever have, Joey said he enjoyed it so much because "It ended up being the most moist and the wettest, because I was the last.” “There was some semen dripping out of her from the men. Some men didn't pull out in time, and that happened.” Although the interaction, and Joey himself, lasted less than a minute, he claimed: “It was probably the best 40 seconds of her life and my life.” According to the cocky content creator, he ejaculated inside the now-pregnant star before the pair took a celebratory shot to commemorate Blue’s “huge achievement” of having sexual intercourse with a record number of men in a single day. However, Joey did not get to speak to his controversial crush much as, unsurprisingly, she was “absolutely exhausted”. Why is the fan so proud that he has slept with the controversial content creator? The content creator is so proud of the time he spent with Bonnie Blue that he has bragged about it to his almost 4,000 followers on Instagram ever since, and told VT: “How many men out there can really say they f**ked Bonnie Blue? "Only a few 1000, there's billions and billions of people that live on this earth. "Only a few 1000, will get to say they f***ed Bonnie Blue. “That's history. It's a huge accomplishment that a lot of people look down on.” Joey is obsessed with Blue's blue eyes and blonde hair. Credit: Instagram/Bonnie Blue When quizzed about why he is obsessed with the record-breaking adult star, Joey said: “She's, she's just my exact type. “I love w****s. She's my exact type. "Everything about her, the blonde hair, the blue eyes, everything. “And she's obviously highly sought after, a lot of men like her, a lot of men fuck her.” Beyond her physical appearance, Joey also believes: “She's honestly an inspiration. "Her work ethic, and she clearly loves to make money, she loves to set records, that's inspiring to me. I look up to that." Featured image credit: Bonnie Blue/Instagram

Jared Leto Faces New Allegations: Hollywood’s Dark Secret Unveiled

Jared Leto Faces New Allegations: Hollywood’s Dark Secret Unveiled

Jared Leto has been accused of sexual assault and further “criminal sexual conduct” by four women in a new BBC investigation. One woman, identified as Isabel (not her real name), claimed she was assaulted in a “dingy, gross motel” by the Oscar winner, 54, in 2002, when she was 17 and he was in his 30s. Isabel, now in her 40s, alleged that Leto called her into the bathroom while he was showering, and “I don't think there was many words exchanged, and he opened the shower curtain and started kissing me,” she said in a new BBC documentary, Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret, released on Wednesday, July 29. She alleged that the actor and musician then used her hand to masturbate himself. She left the room shortly after, she said, and only later found out that Leto was in his 30s. A second woman alleged that the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19, a third woman claimed he had sex with her when she was 17 and legally a minor in the state of California, and a fourth accused Leto of grooming her when she was 16. According to the BBC report, four more women said they received “strange and often very sexual phone calls” from the star when they were younger, while another woman claimed Leto made a “lewd comment” about her chest during an autograph signing when she was 14. The BBC said nine of the 10 women interviewed were “sharing their stories publicly for the first time.” Us has reached out to Leto’s representatives for comment. The BBC said that Leto did not respond to its “repeated attempts” to contact the actor. A former model, identified by the BBC as Alex, said she met Leto following a London concert in 2013. She said she was invited to a party at a nearby hotel, but when she got there, she realized that “it's really dark, and then I see that it's just him.” Alex, who was 19 at the time, said she was worried about having no cash and her phone battery dying and asked Leto if he had a phone charger or money so she could get home, but he allegedly said no to both. She claimed that she then inquired if she could sleep on the chaise longue in Leto’s room and that he responded that she would wake up with a “d*** in her ass” if she did. Clara, meanwhile, alleged she had sex with Leto at his house in California multiple times when she was 17 and he was 34. She claimed she had a conversation with Leto about the age of consent — which is 18 in California — and he “just kind of shrugged it off, like it wasn't a huge concern for him.” “He told me, 'I would like you to call me daddy.’ And it was either pretend to be a little girl or 'my little girl,’” Clara told the BBC. "It was only as time went on that I realized more and more how scary that really was.” In June 2025, nine women accused Leto of “sexual impropriety" in an article published by Air Mail. The actor denied all of the accusations against him at the time. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Meghan McCain's Emotional Farewell to Lindsey Graham Sparks Conversations

Meghan McCain's Emotional Farewell to Lindsey Graham Sparks Conversations

Meghan McCain chose to remember the good times she shared with Sen. Lindsey Graham after attending his funeral in Washington, D.C. “A beautiful, poetic send off for a patriotic man and an American icon,” McCain, 41, wrote via X on Tuesday, July 28. “I will always miss you Lindsey and forever cherish my family’s time together with you.” In her social media post, McCain shared a photo of the funeral program, which read, “In celebration of and in thanksgiving for the life of Lindsey Olin Graham.” Graham died on July 11 from a brief and sudden illness, his spokesperson previously stated. He was 71. Shortly after the news was confirmed, Meghan paid tribute to the South Carolina senator, who had a close relationship with her late father, Sen. John McCain. “The news of his sudden passing is shocking and deeply saddening for me and my family. Like many relationships in life, mine with Lindsey was complex in later years,” she wrote via X on July 12. “I choose to remember the endless laughter and joy he brought to my family so many times, in so many ways. These memories are some of the most precious of my life. I hope that he is at peace and I hope he is in heaven drinking a White Russian and fishing with my dad and Joe [Lieberman].” While Meghan often criticized Donald Trump for his controversial comments on her father, Graham remained one of the president’s closest allies. Trump, 80, Vice President JD Vance, congressional colleagues and world leaders all came together on Tuesday for Graham’s funeral service at the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter & Saint Paul. During his eulogy, Trump described Graham as “a respected statesman, a giant of the United States Senate and a true American original who left us much too soon.” “For more than 30 years, nothing of consequence happened in this capital without Lindsey Graham knowing about it,” Trump said via NBC News. “Nothing of significance happened anywhere in the world without Lindsey Graham having a view on it, and no bill became law in the most exceptional republic in human history without Lindsey Graham having a say in it.” According to NBC News, Meghan’s mom, Cindy McCain, was also in attendance along with former Vice President Mike Pence, Fox News host Sean Hannity and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Lindsey’s only sibling, Darline Graham, who was appointed to take his place in the Senate, was seen walking tearfully up to the casket during the service.

Tragedy in Michigan: Father Allegedly Ends Family's Lives in Gruesome Act

Tragedy in Michigan: Father Allegedly Ends Family's Lives in Gruesome Act

A Michigan family experienced an unimaginable tragedy when a father allegedly killed his wife and their six kids, leaving their bodies to burn in the family home in an apparent murder-suicide. Kristopher Karolkiewicz, his wife, Amanda “Mandy” Karolkiewicz and their six children were found dead inside their Grand Haven Township home on the morning of Friday, July 24. Officials initially ruled the incident “suspicious” when the victims were found to have suffered gunshot wounds before the home was set on fire. Three days later, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office announced in a news release that they now believe that Kristopher, 47, fatally shot Amanda, 39, and the children before setting fire to the home. It is not currently clear how the fire was started. The sheriff's office said that the Michigan State Police arson investigators are working to continue investigating the cause of the fire. Deputies said that Amanda and the children’s deaths have been ruled a homicide, while Kristopher's death has been ruled a suicide. Kristopher and Amanda were the biological parents of four of the children, while the couple adopted two of their children. The couple shared four boys who were 15, 12, 11 and 5, respectively, as well as two 11-year-old daughters. Fox 17 reported that the family's pets also died from smoke inhalation due to the blaze. It’s not clear how many pets the family had at the time of publication. Authorities confirmed that there are no other suspects believed to be involved in the fatal incident. Amanda's parents, Steve Lawwill and Becky Lawwill, issued a statement to the outlet about the killings after their identities were publicly confirmed by investigators. "Our daughter Mandy was a kind and devoted soul who loved her family and her students,” they told Fox 17. “We treasured every moment we had with her and her six children, and words cannot adequately express our devastation. We pray for God’s peace and comfort as we grieve their deaths and honor their lives." Grand Haven Area Public Schools — where Amanda worked as a substitute teacher — said in a press release that they will be offering support to the community in the wake of the senseless tragedy. “It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge reports of a devastating incident in Grand Haven Township earlier today involving the loss of multiple lives, including several school-aged children,” Superintendent Kristin Perkowski said in the statement. “Regardless of the details that may emerge, this is a devastating incident and a tragic loss for our community. Our hearts are with all those impacted, and we know many throughout our community may be grieving and struggling to process this news.” Perkowski continued, “Our Buccaneer family grieves alongside all those impacted by this tremendous loss. Please continue to care for yourselves and one another as our community processes this news together.” The investigation into the case remains ongoing. Police have asked that anyone with information regarding the deaths contact the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office at (616) 738-4000. Those who wish to remain anonymous can also submit tips through Silent Observer at (877) 88-SILENT. The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office told Us that they have no additional details regarding the ongoing investigation to share at the time of publication.

Dolly Parton Faces Heartbreak as Brother Coy 'Denver' Parton Passes Away

Dolly Parton Faces Heartbreak as Brother Coy 'Denver' Parton Passes Away

Dolly Parton’s brother Coy “Denver” Parton has died at age 82. Denver died on Thursday, July 23, per an obituary shared by Atchley Funeral Home. An official cause of death was not publicly revealed at the time of publication. Denver’s obituary noted that he was based in Sevierville, Tennessee, and spent years as a crane operator building bridges. He was also described as a homestead farmer and “avid” hunter, according to his obituary. “He was preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn Parton; father, Lee Parton; mother, Avie Lee Owens Parton; infant brother, Larry Parton; older brother, David Parton; younger brothers, Randy and Floyd Parton; niece, Tever Parton; brothers-in-law, Carl Dean and Ray Buzzeo,” the obituary read. The obituary continued, “Denver is survived by his daughters, Chris Parton and Jennifer Parton; grandson, Ian Parton and fiancée Taylor York; brother, Bobby Parton; sisters, Willadeene Buzzeo, Dolly Parton, Stella Parton; Cassie Griffith (Greg), Freida Parton, Rachel George (Eric), Laura Price (David); sister-in-law, Kay Parton. A host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and cousins; special nephew, Mitchell Blalock; special friends, Nancy Hurst and Kathy Farr.” The obituary indicated that a private service for Denver would be held in the future. Dolly has not publicly addressed her brother’s death. Nearly two years prior to Denver’s death, Stella shared that their brother David died also at age 82. David, the oldest of the siblings, stayed largely out of the spotlight during his life. “My brother David passed away peacefully this morning. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a loved one but he got his angel wings and is now at peace,” Stella wrote via X in 2024, adding in a separate post to Facebook, “It’s never easy to lose a loved one. My wonderful brother David Parton passed in the early hours of the morning.” In another post, Stella shared her appreciation for those who had reached out to share their condolences. “Thank you for all your kind thoughts to my family as we continue to grieve the loss of our much loved and cherished oldest brother David,” Stella wrote via Facebook at the time. Through the years, the family opened up about the importance of music while growing up in their household of 12. “Singing was like breathing at home,” Rachel told People in 1982, recalling the family writing songs only to “transcribe the tunes and have the whole tribe sing them after supper.”

Dylan Mulvaney's Subtle Support for Kaitlan Collins After Trump's Remark

Dylan Mulvaney's Subtle Support for Kaitlan Collins After Trump's Remark

Trans actress Dylan Mulvaney is seemingly lending her support to CNN reporter and anchor Kaitlan Collins after President Donald Trump compared the two women during the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner. On Saturday, July 25, Mulvaney, 29, shared an inspirational quote attributed to former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt via her Instagram Stories — the same quote Collins, 34, shared via Instagram in a recap of the annual fundraiser meant to celebrate the First Amendment — in an apparent nod to the reporter. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent,” the quote read. The actress added three white heart emojis in the since-vanished post, per People. Collins, a frequent target of the president’s ire, received an award for her coverage of the notoriously contentious Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, July 24, during the dinner, which was moved to the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C., after the April security breach and shooting at the originally scheduled event. After Collins received her award, Trump, 80, took aim at the reporter — first degrading her reporting before making disparaging comments about her looks and comparing her to Mulvaney. “It’s a fake — she shouldn’t get the award, it was a fake,” Trump said at the time. “But I don’t mind, I said, ‘Kaitlan, congratulations.’ But it was fake, there’s no question about it. She’s a young, attractive woman. She never smiles. I said, ‘Kaitlan, do you ever smile? Smile. You have a nice position, you’re at CNN fake news, you should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan, just smile.” He continued, “I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney.” Us reached out to the White House at the time for comment. In the wake of the president’s latest attack on Collins, CNN issued a statement standing by the network anchor and her reporting. “Kaitlan Collins is an exceptional, trusted journalist being honored tonight for her depth of knowledge and the context she provides to audiences all over the world,” a CNN spokesperson said in a written statement shared with Us. “She reports every day from the White House and the field with real strength and tenacity and skillfully brings that reporting to the anchor chair and CNN platforms every day. We stand by her to the fullest extent.”

Man Finds $7.5 Million in Storage Unit, But There's a Catch

Man Finds $7.5 Million in Storage Unit, But There's a Catch

A man who spent just $500 on an abandoned storage unit was left stunned after discovering a safe containing an eye-watering amount of cash. While the person who bought what they thought was an empty storage unit became a millionaire overnight, someone else must be in serious trouble for not safeguarding the stash. The astonishing story was shared by Dan Dotson, an auctioneer who is known for his appearances on the popular TV show Storage Wars , which follows people who bid on storage units whose owners have failed to keep up with their payments, often leaving buyers with no idea what they will find inside. According to Dotson, the remarkable discovery was made after a family friend purchased one of the units he had previously auctioned. Instead of finding a load of old broken furniture or a rotting record collection, the new owner discovered a safe inside the unit. When they managed to open it, they discovered a life-changing amount of money , $7.5 million in cash. The owners were not millionaires for long However, it was not a case of simple cashing in, as the unit's new owner was contacted by a lawyer representing the original owners of the safe and its contents. A brutal bargaining war began shortly after, and at first the attorney made an offer of $600,000 in exchange for the return of the money. Still, according to Dotson, that offer was later increased to $1.2 million. Despite having discovered the mammoth fortune , the buyer ultimately agreed to return the cash to its original owners. The decision meant that the buyer did not walk away with the full $7.5 million. However, according to Dotson, accepting the deal may have been the safest option, given the uncertainty surrounding why someone had stashed away millions of dollars in cash in a storage unit. Dan Dotson presents Storage Wars with his wife, Laura. Credit: Instagram / Dan Dotson Anyone can try their luck and buy an abandoned storage unit Storage facilities can auction off units when customers fail to make payments for an extended period. The items left behind can range from ordinary household possessions and unwanted furniture to valuable antiques and, in extremely rare cases, items of extraordinary value. For buyers, the appeal lies in the possibility of finding something valuable hidden among the belongings. In this bizarre case, a $500 purchase led to the discovery of an astonishing $7.5 million in cash. But rather than keeping the unexpected fortune, the new owner ultimately agreed to return it after peaceful negotiations with the original owners. The extraordinary case remains one of the most bizarre discoveries found in an auctioned storage unit, proving that one man's trash really can be another man’s treasure.

New York City fallen first responders’ families were beyond touched to receive contributions from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s multimillion dollar charity donation. To celebrate their July 3 nuptials, Swift and Kelce, both 36, donated $26 million to an array of worthy causes close to their hearts in various American cities that hold special meaning for the couple.

We thank them for their kindness, their generosity and for their fulfillment to our collective promise to Never Forget." In the weeks after Swift and Kelce said “I do” in a star-studded wedding inside NYC’s famed Madison Square Garden, After the Call shared a handful of heartfelt letters addressed to the newlyweds from families who have been positively impacted by their charitable donation. “I know firsthand how much the support of this organization means to families like mine,” Patricia Polimeni, whose detective husband Jack Polimeni died in 2020, wrote in a statement. “Your donation is so much more than a financial gift. It provides hope, comfort and sense of community for families who are learning to navigate life after the loss of someone who dedicated their life to serving others.” Amanda Rivera, who lost her dad William Rivera in 2004, noted in a separate letter that Answer the Call helped her family “find [their] way” after his death. “We found a community where people knew what the other has been through and made friends who eventually became family,” she wrote. “The organization has given me so many opportunities and experiences that I never thought I would experience — like throwing out the first pitch at a New York Mets game, attending concerts and much more.” Amanda, who calls herself a “dedicated Swiftie,” further stressed that Swift and Kelce’s support “means the world to” her. Allison Garger, whose husband Thomas J. Kennedy was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in NYC, noted in a separate letter that her family once attended the pop star’s concert at MetLife Stadium. “Taylor, in the rainy concert at MetLife Stadium one year, you touched my son Michael’s hand,” Garger recalled without detailing when the Grammy winner performed in New Jersey. “He has been inspired by you since then. We are forever grateful! Heart-shaped hands forever!” Valerie Perry, for her part, noted that Answer the Call “changed [her] life” following her husband William J. Perry’s death in 1980. “They have brought smiles because I feel like my Bill is always remembered, even after all these years,” Valerie said in a statement of her own. “Now, to read your donation? I AM IN TEARS for such a gift to all these families that have been through so much. Prayers for your future together and God bless both of you for your generosity and your caring souls for doing something so amazing.”

Carrie Ann Inaba and Artem Chigvintsev's Unexpected Reunion Sparks Buzz

Carrie Ann Inaba and Artem Chigvintsev's Unexpected Reunion Sparks Buzz

Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba proved there’s no bad blood with ex Artem Chigvinstev. “A little of life lately...✨,” Inaba, 58, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 25, sharing a handful of recent photos. In one snap, Inaba was all smiles beside Chigvintsev, 44, as they twinned in black formalwear. Inaba and Chigvintsev traded their glam ensembles for casual looks as they posed with an unidentified pal after the world premiere of Tango Elite: The Show. Inaba and the Russian dancer dated for nearly three years before going their separate ways in 2009. Chigvintsev joined DWTS as a pro dancer eight years later, prompting Inaba to reiterate that even as his ex she never offered him special treatment or unjust criticism. “I think it’s hysterical. You know what I love though? This is what I love about the Bachelor fans and Bachelorette fans. They can create a story around it!” Inaba told Us and other reporters in November 2020 after facing backlash for her seemingly harsh critique for Chigvintsev and then-partner Kaitlyn Bristowe’s jive. “It’s weird because I totally understood what they were doing. They’re like, ‘There’s jealousy there and there’s this and that’ because that’s what the Bachelor and Bachelorette is all about, right? It’s about creating stories about everybody.” Inaba further denied having any beef with Chigvintsev, who was married to now-ex Nikki Garcia at the time. “Look, I love Artem, [and] I respect him,” she stated. “There’s nothing but love and I thought it was hysterical, so none of it bothers me. I know that people are passionate about Dancing With the Stars. They’re passionate about who they’re voting for. I love that. I will not stand for bullying of me or anyone.” That same month, Chigvintsev also shut down speculation that Inaba had a “personal agenda” to tear him down. “Oh my goodness! It was so long ago. It was, like, 2008, we’re in 2020. That’s 12 years ago!”  Chigvintsev told Us in a separate interview, referring to his past with Inaba. “I don’t think my previous relationship has anything to do with it, I’ll be honest with you, because she’s been judging me for the past however many seasons I was on the show. … I don’t think it has anything to do with it. I think she just really was harsh in the sense that she saw so much more potential than what we’ve been delivering the past two weeks and she finally got things that she’s been wanting to see.” Chigvintsev and Bristowe, 41, ultimately won their season. He left the show for good ahead of 2024’s season 33.
