English football club pulls out of partnership with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue
The Cornwall-based football club Calstock FC backed out of the deal whereby their kit was sponsored by the OnlyFans star and insisted they did not want to 'offend' anyone The small English football club that had partnered with the controversial adult star Bonnie Blue has pulled out of the collaboration. The Cornwall-based football club Calstock FC backed out of the deal whereby their kit was sponsored by the OnlyFans star and insisted they did not want to 'offend' anyone. The tiny club had unveiled the new blue strip that featured a 'BB' logo and included the phrase 'Up The Bonnie Blue Bees' on the back. Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Emma Billinger, has claimed to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. The adult star from Nottinghamshire, also caused controversy after sleeping with 'barely-legal' boys at Freshers' Week for content on her OnlyFans channel. She also recently travelled to the US to have sex with teenage college students for Spring Break. She had announced the sponsorship deal on her Instagram story which prompted the club to repost it while offering a 'massive thank you', along with a blue love heart and a bee emoji. Bonnie Blue Today's News in 90 Seconds - May 3rd The clip soon racked up a whopping 880,000 views on Instagram with hundreds of people offering their comments on the announcement. 'So as I am sure you are aware Calstock FC secured a generous sponsorship deal with social media influencer Bonnie Blue with which we acquired a new away kit (just to be clear this was not to replace our home kit of yellow/black & it is an adult team/club),' the club wrote in a Facebook post. However, with widespread criticism spreading across social media, Calstock, which describes itself as 'a drinking team with a football problem', released a statement insisting: 'We did not do this to offend'. One critic wrote: 'This isn't a flex, it's actually embarrassing as f*** for you. Calstock FC replied: 'Each to their own opinion and you're entitled to that but as a small local club, we are proud to be sponsored by her and we very much appreciate the sponsorships as we do all our sponsors. If you have nothing nice to say, just scroll on by. Another added: 'Possibly one of the worst sponsorships ever.' A third said: 'If my man was on that soccer team, I'd break up immediately.' In the statement released on Friday, Calstock FC said the English Football Association's 'interpretation of the regulations' prohibited them from wearing a kit funded by the 25-year-old. 'Due to the FA's interpretation of the regulations we are retracting the kit bearing the BB logo,' they posted. 'We did not do this to offend. We, as an adult club & collective, categorically do not advocate or support oppression of women.' They have now set up a GoFundMe page to replace the strip. 'It was great to see that so many people took an interest in our adult club & offered support so to this end we have set up a Go Fund Me page on which we would be delighted to receive your donations as we now need to replace this kit & need to secure the future financial viability of the club.' This latest offside for Bonnie follows the permanent ban she was handed down by Nottingham Forest and after she was 'escorted off the premises' having turned up at their stadium after offering to pleasure fans. The Premier League club issued the ban after she planned to give the crowd 'a good time'. They apparently banned the pornographic actress from its home stadium The City Ground which she appeared to confirm on the Only Stans podcast. The controversial strip 'I recently went to a Nottingham Forest game. Well, I attempted to,' she explained. 'I put on my socials, 'Hey boys, I'm going to be at the game, I'd like to film with you afterwards' 'I turn up at the football game and the gate security was like, 'You are permanently banned from the ground'. 'I thought when they asked me to go to the side, maybe they're upgrading my tickets, maybe they want to escort me to my seat. this is quite nice, it's a good service. 'They asked to see my tickets, I showed them and they took them off me, saying, 'we're escorting you off the premises'.' Blue said she was attending the match to 'encourage' the footballers and give the crowd a 'good time'. 'I also think if I'm entertaining the supporters it's less people drinking, so I'm actually doing something good for their health,' she insisted. For Bonnie, the next on her list to claim the record for 'first woman to have sex in space'.

'Much loved' Preston music venue 53 Degrees to reopen after decade
A "much loved" city music venue is set to reopen after being closed for almost a decade.53 Degrees in Preston's University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) campus hosted acts such as Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, Kasabian and Calvin Harris but has been mostly dormant since is now preparing to welcome music fans back for a full season of live music music promoters GS Promotions said it was "delighted" to bring the venue back to life in August in partnership with UCLan Students' Union (SU) and has already lined up acts such as singer songwriter Lucy Spraggan, Peat & Diesel, and the Lancashire Hotpots. 53 Degrees originally opened its doors in 2005 and was run by UCLan SU. It said it closed its doors in 2015 as students' preferences changed and the music industry was evolving making it tough to keep the venue going as a full-time gig space, although it still used it for key student events like Freshers' Week. 'Go-to destination' Jon Russ, from UCLan SU, said: "We're thrilled to be bringing this iconic venue back to life in partnership with GS Promotions, adding to the vibrant live music scene in the heart of the city. "Our goal is to make 53 Degrees a go-to destination for students, locals and touring acts alike."GS Promotions director Gav Scott said it was "dead exciting" to bring the "much loved" venue back to said it had always held a "special place in the hearts of music lovers in Preston" and it was "working hard to secure an incredible roster of artists and shows for the venue".The relaunch will start with opening the venue's 400-capacity room with hopes to eventually expand into the venue's larger room, which has a capacity for 1,500 people. Sarah Threlfall, deputy chief executive and director of community and wellbeing at Preston City Council, said 53 Degrees was a "landmark venue for many" and its reopening as a hub for live music was "fantastic news" for the city and would further enhance its cultural offer.

Who is Bonnie Blue, the controversial OnlyFans porn star banned from Australia for trying to bed ‘barely legal' school leavers? The adult entertainer hails from the UK and her mum works alongside her
Like OnlyFans' Lily Phillips , controversial adult entertainer Bonnie Blue has made a name for herself by taking on 'sex challenges' for the benefit of her subscribers on the platform. Bonnie Blue rose to fame after sleeping with over 100 men at the Gold Coast Schoolies, an event for Australian high school leavers, in 2023, and filming it for her OnlyFans account. She did the same in Mexico in 2023 during spring break, then again in the UK last September for Freshers' Week. She was planning on continuing her streak at Australia's 2024 Schoolies Week alongside fellow OF creator Annie Knight, but after announcing the event, her visa was cancelled following the collection of 20,000 signatures on a petition calling for her to be denied entry to the country. Advertisement Although some have called her behaviour 'predatory', Blue justified her decision to create explicit content with 'barely legal' men in an interview with MailOnline, saying: 'These 18-year-olds can go to the Army, they can drive, they can drink, they're choosing their careers for the rest of their life. If they want to use their own bodies to come and sleep with me, that is their decision.' Calling her critics 'uneducated', she argued: 'We seem to say 18-year-olds don't know better. But if an 18-year-old commits a crime, the first thing they would say is that they're an adult, they should know better. So we seem to pick and choose when we like to treat them as kids.' Besides bedding much younger men, and claiming to also sleep with their fathers and university lecturers, Bonnie Blue has also taken flak for her misogynistic comments justifying cheating. 'If women were better in the bedroom, men wouldn't cheat,' she told the Daily Star tabloid. Elsewhere, she has talked about her goal of breaking the world record for the highest number of sexual partners in a day. Clearly, Bonnie Blue isn't worried about the haters but who is the woman behind the online persona? Here's everything we know. She comes from a middle-class background Bonnie Blue has never known her biological father. Photo: @bonnie_blue_xox/Instagram Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, grew up in the English village of Draycott, Derbyshire. Her family includes her mother, Sarah Billinger, stepfather Nicholas Elliott, and two half-siblings, per The Mirror. She has apparently never known her biological father, but has hit back at critics who suggest her early life informed her work: 'I don't come from a broken family. I don't have daddy issues. You can do the job I do because I love sex and come from a completely normal family and people seem to struggle to understand that,' she said on The Reality Check podcast. Blue attended Friesland School, where she was known as the popular girl who wore make-up and was friends with senior boys and girls, per The Sun. She enjoyed dancing, and in 2015, took part in the British Street Dance Championships in Glasgow. A young Billinger aspired to become a professional dancer or a midwife while working part time at Poundstretcher, according to her former classmates. Her family supports her chosen career

OnlyFans model Alina Rose defends Bonnie Blue & Lily Phillips, blames men for controversy
ALBAWABA - A well-known OnlyFans model Alina Rose has defended porn celebrities Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips against criticism for their obscene sex acts. According to 24-year-old Alina Rose, the men who have slept with Bonnie and Lily or bought their stuff should be the targets of the criticism instead. "I will never hate on a girl getting a bag," Alina remarked, referring to Lily having sex with 100 guys in one night and Bonnie bedding over 1,000 in 12 hours. 'One myth on OnlyFans is that we all sleep around, but that's not true for me,' she added. "I would personally never do something like that for money, but it's obvious that there is a demand; if they are meeting that demand, then good for them." After that, Alina concentrated on the numerous males who had participated in Lily and Bonnie's X-rated antics. "If 1,000 men are looking to participate, perhaps we should blame the system that enabled these women to profit from it rather than the women themselves," she remarked. "This would not have been possible at all without those men." Before revealing plans to boost the ante by sleeping with 1,000 guys in a single day, Lily, 23, made news last year for bedding 100 men in a single night. But this month, Bonnie, 25, outdid her after having sex with 1,057 men in a 12-hour period. Footage from the obscene orgy shows hundreds of guys wearing balaclavas waiting in line to meet the blonde beauty. One man who went to the lengthy sex session told "I assumed you entered a room with her one at a time because I had been told it was one-to-one sessions, but when I got there, it was a free-for-all." At any given moment, there were between thirty and forty men surrounding her, each taking turns. Guys were all around her. "People were simply entering, and a group would encircle her," he added. Whoever had the chance would begin to participate. Since they forged a friendship last year, Bonnie has revealed to that Lily deceived her by stealing the concept for the world sex record. Lily Phillips Instagram profile Since then, Lily has replied by revealing preparations for an even more drastic stunt: a "backdoor challenge" with "as many guys as possible." After a video of herself parading through London's streets while coated in male bodily fluids, the 23-year-old also stunned the internet. When Bonnie and two other sex workers invaded Australia during Schoolies Week in 2023 to bed as many barely-legal high school graduates as possible for OnlyFans, Bonnie's fame took off. The 25-year-old then performed the same stunt with American students over Spring Break and again during Freshers' Week in the UK. Lily had joined Bonnie for Freshers' Week, but it wasn't until she participated in the YouTube documentary I Slept With 100 Men in One Day that she really started to gain notoriety. A scene in which Lily breaks down in tears after performing the prank helped the documentary go viral.
