What do pop star Lily Allen, Olympic gold medal-winning diver Jack Laugher, tennis player Nick Kyrgios and 25-year-old Bonnie Blue from Nottingham, who has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-old students (and sometimes their dads, too), all have in common? Yes, you guessed it. They are all ‘creatives' on OnlyFans, the adults-only online content provider founded in 2016 by a young Essex businessman called Tim Stokely, which is now one of the most visited (and lucrative) websites in the world. Just last month, Lily Allen caused a stir by revealing that she makes more money charging $10 (£8) - the site works in dollars - for pictures of her feet on her OnlyFans account labelled ‘La Dolca Feeta' than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify. But Lily's content is tame in comparison to much of the content on the site, the sort company execs refer to as ‘spicy'. Everything from cheeky shots of bottoms peeking out of bubble baths, blondes stirring vats of steaming pasta in G-strings, hot men waxing cars in their pants, right through the sex spectrum to twosomes, threesomes, sixsomes and hardcore pornographic videos. But also because, thanks to the allure of OnlyFans and the astonishing sums that a teeny number of the platform's 4.1million creatives are raking in, more and more young women (and it is mostly young women) who would never have considered it before are suddenly happy to join in and sell photos of, well, pretty much anything, to pay rent, settle credit card bills or splash out on nice holidays. Basically, a flashier life all round. ‘We feel empowered. We have agency. It's completely up to me if I take my top off or not,' says one 21-year-old girl, who joined a year ago and makes enough in a week to cover a year's student rent at Sheffield University and prefers not to give her name. ‘And I am happy to do it because for once I make the rules, in the safety of my home and they're paying me to do it. It's a mug's game, but I am not the mug.' For the benefit of those readers who are not among the site's 305million users, OnlyFans offers creators a platform where they can charge their fans a subscription fee ranging from $4.99 to $49.99 a month to look at their content, contact them (or more often access their ‘chatter' - more of which later) and access often more explicit, personalised, ‘à la carte' content through ‘tips'. OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-olds Rapper Cardi B is said to make $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site Actress Bella Thorne, a former Disney child star, made a record-breaking $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours ‘Pay $10 to unlock this video'. ‘Click here for more spicy content'. ‘The more you pay, the more you see'. You get the gist. In 2023, the site generated a record $6.6billion (£5.2billion), of which the company takes a straight 20 per cent - much less than YouTube - and the rest goes to the ‘performers'. It is unlike Instagram or other social media sites in that nothing is suggested - instead, you have to search for, and then subscribe to, individual accounts to see much more than profile pictures. Which is a good thing, because while some of the content is anodyne, much is highly sexual and many people on the site can bob freely from one to another. Perhaps a cookery hack one day, modelling new boots the next, then graduate to a few cheeky cleavage and bikini shots and more, as the money becomes more tempting. Every week, it seems, we hear of someone who has made millions. Last month it was announced that American influencer Corinna Kopf had retired from the site, aged 28, after making $67million (£53million). In her best month, she reportedly earned more than $2million (£1.6million). Rapper Cardi B is said to earn more than $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site. Meanwhile, Darcie Rattles was an out-of-work bricklayer with £6,000 in credit card bills and debts when she joined OnlyFans in 2022. ‘I was thinking: how the hell am I going to get to next week? How am I going to pay my credit cards?' she says in an online interview. ‘I'm young, I've got a good body and I've got a lot of followers. It is what any girl would turn to. It had been in the back of mind for two years, but then I did it.' Within two days of launching, she had earned enough to pay off her debts. Today, Darcie, who comes across as likeable, down-to-earth and has no qualms about what she shares, claims to earn more than £250,000 a year. Pop singer Lily Allen has discovered a niche market... ... she sells pictures of her feet for £8 and makes more money from her account labelled 'La Dolca Feeta' than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify ‘It doesn't matter to me whether I get my feet out, or my other bits out,' she says. Though it does tend to be the other bits, because Darcie's content promises very few clothes and, for those who pay extra, ‘a naughty side to me you've never seen before'. But even Darcie seems like the girl next door compared to Lily Phillips, a British model who earned £2,000 in her first 24 hours on the site and recently went viral for sleeping with 101 men over a 14-hour period. She has since announced she is planning to set a record of having sex with 1,000 men in 24 hours. And Bonnie Blue, a beautiful blonde with a golden tan and astonishingly white teeth, who has worked her way round Derby, Nottingham, Cancun and Australia, sleeping with university students. On one night during Nottingham Trent freshers' week - after publicising her stunt by wearing a sandwich board that read: ‘Bonk me for free and let me film it' - she had boys queuing up from 6pm until five in the morning. ‘I got through them all,' she said proudly in one interview in which she reminds us that, thanks to OnlyFans, she has already banked more than £3 million - for which she was applauded by her followers for her entrepreneurship. But all that is chicken feed when you consider the £370 million dividend that company owner paid himself last year. And these days that's Leonid Radvinsky, who bought a majority stake from Tim Stokely in 2018, two years after he started the business with the help of a loan from his father. It was the Covid-era lockdowns that thrust OnlyFans into the stratosphere. Everyone shut up at home, nothing to do. In 2020, it generated revenues of $2.23billion (£1.8billion). By 2021, it was up to $4.8billion (£3.8billion). There was a brief hiatus in October of that year when they tried banning sexually explicit content but that lasted about ten minutes before they switched back. There have been plenty of scandals along the way. A BBC investigation back in 2021 revealed that children were not just accessing the material online by foxing the age verification process but were also selling explicit videos on the website. Leah, 17, had used a fake driving licence to set up an OnlyFans account where she made £5,000 uploading revealing videos of herself. There have also been claims of OnlyFans creators using public gyms and spaces to make adult content. Recently there has been more concerns that the company is not doing enough to protect minors. OnlyFans, however, prefers to portray itself as a force for good, with supporters arguing that it empowers people by allowing them to sell content - over which they have full control - directly to consumers. And many of the Gen Z generation seem to agree. ‘It's fine. It's empowering. It's taking control,' they cry, pointing out that the site has loads of moderators and a tight security system to ensure that all users are over 18. And they say, anyway, that OnlyFans isn't just about sex. Of course, they're right. It has long been awash with pneumatic reality TV stars and the likes of Lottie Moss, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, who are happy to tease their followers with a few cheeky peeks in skimpy bikinis. I spend an afternoon browsing the site and, while it is not all ‘spicy' content as the company executives like to call it, everything is dripping with sauce and promise. The big lips, the push-up bras, even the way a pretty Spanish chef is holding her paella pan. Company executives have been pushing hard to make the platform more mainstream - offering contracts and financial incentives to encourage musicians, sports stars, cooks, anyone really, to come on and share a bit of exclusive - or niche - content. Really, anything that people will pay to look at - glimpses backstage at concerts. Celebrities in the bath. During the 2024 Olympic Games, a raft of athletes jumped on the OnlyFans bandwagon to share pictures of their beautifully toned bodies. Along with Jack Laugher, Team NZ rower Robbie Manson uses the site to share ‘exclusive content that tastefully explores the boundaries, including artistic portrayals of nudity' for $14.99 a month. British speedskater Olympic diver Jack Laugher is among a number of sports stars using OnlyFans Reality TV star Kerry Katona has also teased followers with content Lottie Moss  has also taken to the adults-only online content provider that was founded in 2016 and is used by 4.1 million creatives Elise Christie turned to the site when she found herself in financial difficulties. All of which seems to be working well for them, but it can be rather murkier for others. Not least because, in less than a decade, OnlyFans has spawned an entire support industry of ‘sugar daddies' who support performers financially and ‘chatters' who work for them. ‘Sugar daddies' tend to be older male businessmen who ‘invest' in promising creatives. In what are referred to rather murkily as ‘mutually beneficial deals', they invest in branding and marketing and videography to boost traffic. Chatters are different. For the real stars, the traffic is so high and the interaction with followers so demanding that if they had to do it all themselves, there's no way they would ever have time to put their pyjamas back on. So ‘chatters' - a sort of online 21st-century Cyrano de Bergerac - do that for them. Keeping them engaged, online, needy and most of all, spending, spending, spending for more and more content. Which means, of course, that the whole thing is a total scam. The poor daft subscriber thinks he's really making a connection with ‘Racy Tracey from Twickenham', but is more likely chatting to a middle-aged father of three from the Philippines. He will have learnt everything about Tracey - her favourite colour, favourite animal and favourite position - have studied a script that reminds him ‘it's all about selling, selling, selling', and will be being paid $4 an hour for his efforts. Or the subscriber could just be talking to an AI bot - which perhaps is more appealing. Read More EXCLUSIVE A year after split, I've had a baby and got engaged, writes Mother Pukka ANNA WHITEHOUSE Chatters can be dangerous. As Alanya, a paralegal from Scotland, discovered when she learned that one of her most enthusiastic followers had travelled to her home town to find her, encouraged by her chatter. ‘My chatter told him that I loved him. I would never, ever have said that,' she said. But, sadly, chatters, sugar daddies and stalkers are not a problem for most creatives. Almost all of whom are still struggling to make any proper money, however many clothes they take off. They will never know the clout of Cardi B, or Lily Allen, or former Disney child star Bella Thorne, who famously made a record- breaking $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours when she joined in August 2020. (Though initially there was some confusion as to whether she would be appearing nude or not. She did not - which caused quite a rumpus.) Because, unlike celebrities who can redirect their existing social media followers to their OnlyFans accounts, most people find it hard to grab attention without doing something, well, grabby. So, despite all the tales of golden riches, the average earnings of an OnlyFans creative is still just $150 (£118) a month and, with the market now so flooded, is only likely to go one way. And it's easy to see how, if you're a young woman who has convinced yourself that you're in control, empowered and mistress of your own destiny, you could find yourself moving inevitably and inexorably up (or perhaps down) the scale, revealing more and more. Until, before you know it, like Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips, you've kept nothing back for yourself. NottinghamLily AllenOnlyFansJack Laugher

Lady Gaga is set to release her seventh studio album in February. Despite lead single Disease stalling on the Hot 100 at No. 27, the 38-year-old is forging ahead with her next album, which she described as both 'fun' and 'darker.' Speaking to Vogue magazine about the project, Gaga said that she's been focused on the production side of her new songs.  'I love producing — I always have — and something that was really important to me making my seventh studio album was blending live instrumentation with programming,' she explained. 'The album is chaotic from a genre perspective — it is genre-bending, and I think in that way is a deeply personal look into my mind as a producer and the way I think about music.' She also said that the album has a 'darker pop' sound that's more in line with her iconic 2009 album, The Fame Monster.  However, fans need not be worried that Gaga is going too somber with her sound.  'The album is not extremely serious in that it's very fun and meant to be enjoyed at a party, in a club, or at home having personal fun time — to be free of your worries at home or walking through life,' she insisted.  Lady Gaga is focused on releasing her seventh studio album this February following the disappointing reception to lead single Disease Gaga released the album's lead single Disease last month to rave reviews from music critics, who lauded it as a return to the star's roots. Unfortunately, the acclaim failed to translate to the charts, with Disease debuting at No. 27 on the Hot 100 - her worst entry for a lead single in 16 years. On the bright side, Gaga is currently enjoying one of her biggest hits in years thanks to her Bruno Mars duet, Die With a Smile.  The ballad has so far reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Pop Airplay Chart. It comes after Gaga's leading role in the disastrous Joker: Folie à Deux.  The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before its October 4 release and flopped at the box office. Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the movie, said Todd Philips's new film has 'no plot' and admitted he knew it was 'going to bomb' while filming.  Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: 'It's the worst film ever made. Gaga told Vogue magazine that she's been focused on the production side of her new songs Gaga released the album's lead single Disease last month to rave reviews from music critics, but the song flopped on the Hot 100 'I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, "Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!" All these think pieces. 'And then I think, "What if we went the other way," and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it's insane,' he continued. 'It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security outfits because we're working at the Arkham Asylum, and I would turn to one of them and we'd hear this crap and I'd go, "What the f*** is this?" And they'd go, "This is going to bomb, man." I go, "This is the worst thing I've ever seen." 'We were talking about it at lunch, and we'd go, "What is the plot? Is there a plot? I don't know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?" It's not even hate-watchable. That's how terrible it is.' Joaquin PhoenixLady Gaga

Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office. The grisly film - made for about $2 million - stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes - with the film knocking the starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film off the top of the US box office last week. Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to 'David vs Goliath.'  He told TMZ: 'Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film... I never expected this to happen in my life, I'm floored and grateful for it all. 'We're grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated fanbase, we weren't beholden to the studio system. Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office (pictured as Art the clown)  The grisly film - made for about $2 million - stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes - with the film knocking the starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga (pictured) film off the top of the US box office last week  'We turned down studios as they wanted to compromise the integrity of the film and we wanted to stick to what the fans wanted and we wanted. Read More Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ 'This shows Hollywood that we need to start making movies that take risks again. The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying: 'I was shocked too as the first Joker film I loved, I'm curious to see why people aren't as crazy about the second one.'     Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood fest, which has received a 78-percent rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.  Audiences have 'certified' it 'hot' and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter. The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.    Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux. After winning the box office competition during its debut weekend could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline in ticket sales. The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four thousand theaters across the US.  Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to 'David vs Goliath' - pictured last week He said: 'Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film... I never expected this to happen in my life, I'm floored and grateful for it all' The musical is 'poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run' according to the publication. The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report. It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros. sources claim the number is $375 million. A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying 'Any estimates suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives" are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.' 'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week's opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.' So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks of release. The film is 'poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run' according to the publication In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release. The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office.  Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.  Joaquin PhoenixLady Gaga

Australians have discovered an unlikely pop-up store offering shoppers 'incredible' deals on clothing, homewares, food, and electronics. The temporary Vinnies locations have been set up around Victoria to help shoppers get through the cost of living crisis ravaging the country.

The veteran presenter, 29, and the Peking Duk frontman went public with their relationship in June. However another racy photo, taken before they became a couple, captured Abbie and Adam waiting patiently together in a fast food line, with the presenter looking absolutely smitten over the strapping musician.

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. Unfortunately there is no readily available research into the genders of seven or more children to establish the experimental probability for such an outcome. However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a girl is approx 0.48, then the probability of the seventh child being a girl is 0.48.

What do pop star Lily Allen, Olympic gold medal-winning diver Jack Laugher, tennis player Nick Kyrgios and 25-year-old Bonnie Blue from Nottingham, who has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-old students (and sometimes their dads, too), all have in common? Yes, you guessed it. They are all ‘creatives' on OnlyFans, the adults-only online content provider founded in 2016 by a young Essex businessman called Tim Stokely, which is now one of the most visited (and lucrative) websites in the world. Just last month, Lily Allen caused a stir by revealing that she makes more money charging $10 (£8) - the site works in dollars - for pictures of her feet on her OnlyFans account labelled ‘La Dolca Feeta' than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify. But Lily's content is tame in comparison to much of the content on the site, the sort company execs refer to as ‘spicy'. Everything from cheeky shots of bottoms peeking out of bubble baths, blondes stirring vats of steaming pasta in G-strings, hot men waxing cars in their pants, right through the sex spectrum to twosomes, threesomes, sixsomes and hardcore pornographic videos. But also because, thanks to the allure of OnlyFans and the astonishing sums that a teeny number of the platform's 4.1million creatives are raking in, more and more young women (and it is mostly young women) who would never have considered it before are suddenly happy to join in and sell photos of, well, pretty much anything, to pay rent, settle credit card bills or splash out on nice holidays. Basically, a flashier life all round. ‘We feel empowered. We have agency. It's completely up to me if I take my top off or not,' says one 21-year-old girl, who joined a year ago and makes enough in a week to cover a year's student rent at Sheffield University and prefers not to give her name. ‘And I am happy to do it because for once I make the rules, in the safety of my home and they're paying me to do it. It's a mug's game, but I am not the mug.' For the benefit of those readers who are not among the site's 305million users, OnlyFans offers creators a platform where they can charge their fans a subscription fee ranging from $4.99 to $49.99 a month to look at their content, contact them (or more often access their ‘chatter' - more of which later) and access often more explicit, personalised, ‘à la carte' content through ‘tips'. OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-olds Rapper Cardi B is said to make $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site Actress Bella Thorne, a former Disney child star, made a record-breaking $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours ‘Pay $10 to unlock this video'. ‘Click here for more spicy content'. ‘The more you pay, the more you see'. You get the gist. In 2023, the site generated a record $6.6billion (£5.2billion), of which the company takes a straight 20 per cent - much less than YouTube - and the rest goes to the ‘performers'. It is unlike Instagram or other social media sites in that nothing is suggested - instead, you have to search for, and then subscribe to, individual accounts to see much more than profile pictures. Which is a good thing, because while some of the content is anodyne, much is highly sexual and many people on the site can bob freely from one to another. Perhaps a cookery hack one day, modelling new boots the next, then graduate to a few cheeky cleavage and bikini shots and more, as the money becomes more tempting. Every week, it seems, we hear of someone who has made millions. Last month it was announced that American influencer Corinna Kopf had retired from the site, aged 28, after making $67million (£53million). In her best month, she reportedly earned more than $2million (£1.6million). Rapper Cardi B is said to earn more than $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site. Meanwhile, Darcie Rattles was an out-of-work bricklayer with £6,000 in credit card bills and debts when she joined OnlyFans in 2022. ‘I was thinking: how the hell am I going to get to next week? How am I going to pay my credit cards?' she says in an online interview. ‘I'm young, I've got a good body and I've got a lot of followers. It is what any girl would turn to. It had been in the back of mind for two years, but then I did it.' Within two days of launching, she had earned enough to pay off her debts. Today, Darcie, who comes across as likeable, down-to-earth and has no qualms about what she shares, claims to earn more than £250,000 a year. Pop singer Lily Allen has discovered a niche market... ... she sells pictures of her feet for £8 and makes more money from her account labelled 'La Dolca Feeta' than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify ‘It doesn't matter to me whether I get my feet out, or my other bits out,' she says. Though it does tend to be the other bits, because Darcie's content promises very few clothes and, for those who pay extra, ‘a naughty side to me you've never seen before'. But even Darcie seems like the girl next door compared to Lily Phillips, a British model who earned £2,000 in her first 24 hours on the site and recently went viral for sleeping with 101 men over a 14-hour period. She has since announced she is planning to set a record of having sex with 1,000 men in 24 hours. And Bonnie Blue, a beautiful blonde with a golden tan and astonishingly white teeth, who has worked her way round Derby, Nottingham, Cancun and Australia, sleeping with university students. On one night during Nottingham Trent freshers' week - after publicising her stunt by wearing a sandwich board that read: ‘Bonk me for free and let me film it' - she had boys queuing up from 6pm until five in the morning. ‘I got through them all,' she said proudly in one interview in which she reminds us that, thanks to OnlyFans, she has already banked more than £3 million - for which she was applauded by her followers for her entrepreneurship. But all that is chicken feed when you consider the £370 million dividend that company owner paid himself last year. And these days that's Leonid Radvinsky, who bought a majority stake from Tim Stokely in 2018, two years after he started the business with the help of a loan from his father. It was the Covid-era lockdowns that thrust OnlyFans into the stratosphere. Everyone shut up at home, nothing to do. In 2020, it generated revenues of $2.23billion (£1.8billion). By 2021, it was up to $4.8billion (£3.8billion). There was a brief hiatus in October of that year when they tried banning sexually explicit content but that lasted about ten minutes before they switched back. There have been plenty of scandals along the way. A BBC investigation back in 2021 revealed that children were not just accessing the material online by foxing the age verification process but were also selling explicit videos on the website. Leah, 17, had used a fake driving licence to set up an OnlyFans account where she made £5,000 uploading revealing videos of herself. There have also been claims of OnlyFans creators using public gyms and spaces to make adult content. Recently there has been more concerns that the company is not doing enough to protect minors. OnlyFans, however, prefers to portray itself as a force for good, with supporters arguing that it empowers people by allowing them to sell content - over which they have full control - directly to consumers. And many of the Gen Z generation seem to agree. ‘It's fine. It's empowering. It's taking control,' they cry, pointing out that the site has loads of moderators and a tight security system to ensure that all users are over 18. And they say, anyway, that OnlyFans isn't just about sex. Of course, they're right. It has long been awash with pneumatic reality TV stars and the likes of Lottie Moss, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, who are happy to tease their followers with a few cheeky peeks in skimpy bikinis. I spend an afternoon browsing the site and, while it is not all ‘spicy' content as the company executives like to call it, everything is dripping with sauce and promise. The big lips, the push-up bras, even the way a pretty Spanish chef is holding her paella pan. Company executives have been pushing hard to make the platform more mainstream - offering contracts and financial incentives to encourage musicians, sports stars, cooks, anyone really, to come on and share a bit of exclusive - or niche - content. Really, anything that people will pay to look at - glimpses backstage at concerts. Celebrities in the bath. During the 2024 Olympic Games, a raft of athletes jumped on the OnlyFans bandwagon to share pictures of their beautifully toned bodies. Along with Jack Laugher, Team NZ rower Robbie Manson uses the site to share ‘exclusive content that tastefully explores the boundaries, including artistic portrayals of nudity' for $14.99 a month. British speedskater Olympic diver Jack Laugher is among a number of sports stars using OnlyFans Reality TV star Kerry Katona has also teased followers with content Lottie Moss  has also taken to the adults-only online content provider that was founded in 2016 and is used by 4.1 million creatives Elise Christie turned to the site when she found herself in financial difficulties. All of which seems to be working well for them, but it can be rather murkier for others. Not least because, in less than a decade, OnlyFans has spawned an entire support industry of ‘sugar daddies' who support performers financially and ‘chatters' who work for them. ‘Sugar daddies' tend to be older male businessmen who ‘invest' in promising creatives. In what are referred to rather murkily as ‘mutually beneficial deals', they invest in branding and marketing and videography to boost traffic. Chatters are different. For the real stars, the traffic is so high and the interaction with followers so demanding that if they had to do it all themselves, there's no way they would ever have time to put their pyjamas back on. So ‘chatters' - a sort of online 21st-century Cyrano de Bergerac - do that for them. Keeping them engaged, online, needy and most of all, spending, spending, spending for more and more content. Which means, of course, that the whole thing is a total scam. The poor daft subscriber thinks he's really making a connection with ‘Racy Tracey from Twickenham', but is more likely chatting to a middle-aged father of three from the Philippines. He will have learnt everything about Tracey - her favourite colour, favourite animal and favourite position - have studied a script that reminds him ‘it's all about selling, selling, selling', and will be being paid $4 an hour for his efforts. Or the subscriber could just be talking to an AI bot - which perhaps is more appealing. Read More EXCLUSIVE A year after split, I've had a baby and got engaged, writes Mother Pukka ANNA WHITEHOUSE Chatters can be dangerous. As Alanya, a paralegal from Scotland, discovered when she learned that one of her most enthusiastic followers had travelled to her home town to find her, encouraged by her chatter. ‘My chatter told him that I loved him. I would never, ever have said that,' she said. But, sadly, chatters, sugar daddies and stalkers are not a problem for most creatives. Almost all of whom are still struggling to make any proper money, however many clothes they take off. They will never know the clout of Cardi B, or Lily Allen, or former Disney child star Bella Thorne, who famously made a record- breaking $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours when she joined in August 2020. (Though initially there was some confusion as to whether she would be appearing nude or not. She did not - which caused quite a rumpus.) Because, unlike celebrities who can redirect their existing social media followers to their OnlyFans accounts, most people find it hard to grab attention without doing something, well, grabby. So, despite all the tales of golden riches, the average earnings of an OnlyFans creative is still just $150 (£118) a month and, with the market now so flooded, is only likely to go one way. And it's easy to see how, if you're a young woman who has convinced yourself that you're in control, empowered and mistress of your own destiny, you could find yourself moving inevitably and inexorably up (or perhaps down) the scale, revealing more and more. Until, before you know it, like Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips, you've kept nothing back for yourself. NottinghamLily AllenOnlyFansJack Laugher

M. Night Shyamalan threw an epic Halloween party in Philadelphia on Saturday night. The Sixth Sense director, 54, dressed as the villainous Joker for his 'Shyamaween' bash. His makeup was perfectly creepy and his costume was from the 2008 film The Dark Knight, which saw the late Heath Ledger play the iconic villain.   Shyamalan's wife, Dr. Bhavna Shyamalan, 55, looked beautiful in an amber-colored, Victorian era gown with bats all over it. Her makeup was a cross between zombie and goth as she proudly posed next to her talented husband who looked adoringly at her. M.

Shyamalan recently opened up about that film's impact on his career in an interview with People. 'At this point, there's so many generations of people that have watched [my] different movies,' the director said. He added that some, people 'only know me from [2015 movie] The Visit from then on, so they don't even know about The Sixth Sense. So when I think about that, it's wild.' 'Each movie, I feel this way — that I don't know if it'll ever get made. I don't know if I'll ever get to make another one… "If this is the last one, I want it to just represent me,"' he continued.

Night's inspiration for his costume this year Shyamalan, who was born in Mahé India but grew up in Penn Valley, Pennsylvania, released two films in the 1990s before The Sixth Sense. That set off a string a big hits for the filmmaker that includes Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002) and The Village (2004), that ultimately ended with the release of Lady In The Water (2006), which barely covered the $70 million budget. His biggest box office success was with The Sixth Sense, grossing $672.8 million while working with a $40 million budget 25 years ago. To date, the film made $6.6 million on its first day, including an estimated $2.2 million from the Thursday night previews.

Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during making of the $200million flop film, a new report has claimed. The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film - stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures - but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office. The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere afterparty last month. A source said: 'If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150 [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was Joker.' In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does not include a DC Studios logo. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32% The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film - stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga - seen with Phillips last month - and was considered a surefire hit for Warners Bros Pictures - but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office  A DC spokesman said Gunn was directing the Max series Peacemaker in Atlanta, which had lost a day of production due to Hurricane Helene, while Safran was sick.  Read More Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and the 'most disappointing follow-up' by critics A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker sequel. while Phillips declined to comment to the publication.  Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes. It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022. Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter: 'With all due respect to them, this is kind of a Warner Bros. movie.' Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips  shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April 2022 and was 'open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at a lower price point.' The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent less. However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static.  The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere afterparty last month  A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the decision to film in Los Angeles'. A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail.

Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.  It has only made $114million worldwide against its $200million budget.  The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, per The Hollywood Reporter.  Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).  However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie.  Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32%.  The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood Reporter.  Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million - but the number has since drastically dropped.  Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters - and eventually landed a little over $1 billion in the global box office.  The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips - had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to around $200 million.  The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics and audiences - and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International Film Festival.  Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker (Arthur Fleck) - and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original Score.  The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline.    A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail. However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday - and shared their opinions on the sequel, which features musical sequences.  One fan penned, 'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve this. what happened to the script?' while another added, 'is it that bad,' followed by a crying face emoji.  'Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have been a good choice. It'd show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,' one typed.  'But with some original songs, that keep everything vague, not just covers. Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.'  A social media user wrote, 'Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn't a musical.'  'Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to randomly add musical scenes to fill the runtime,' one penned.  'Joker downfall really needs to be studied, ' another shared, along with a monkey staring out a window.  One fan said, 'the movie sucks. i had to walk out of the cinema,' while another penned, 'After years of disagreement....*Joker 2 releases* Critics [shaking hands] Audience.'  However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday - and shared their opinions over the sequel, which was also a musical 'Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have been a good choice. It'd show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,' one typed 'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' another shared, along with a monkey staring out a window 'That's way below what we expected,' one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores. 'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.'  A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull. has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.'  'It also insults the audience's intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too. they shouldn't have let this escape to theaters.'  One shared, 'The audience that loved the first movie is not the same audience running to see musicals. This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.'  During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he would be interested in making a third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga's character.  'It's not really where this movie is headed for me. I feel like my time in the DC Universe was these two films.'  Ahead of the movie's release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying album titled Harlequin on September 27.  Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday.  'That's way below what we expected,' one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores. 'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever' A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull. has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance' The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some claiming Lady Gaga's career could be at risk. While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat, critics have said the sequel is just a 'repeat' of the first hit but with an added musical twist. Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for the musical aspect of it. While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn't live up to expectations, others have dubbed the movie 'bold' and 'brilliant.'  Daily Mail's Brian Viner commended the move as 'bold' and 'brilliant' but said it lacked any thrill.  The Independent's Geoffrey Macnab said: 'Today Joker is best remembered as one of the most subversive and original films of the last decade, while its hugely anticipated sequel is just as bleak and formally daring as its predecessor'. Meanwhile, the Irish Times' Donald Clarke gave the movie just two stars but credited Phillips' work for making a sequel following the first movie's $1billion success. Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump the ratings up in the sequel, Phillips appeared to have no idea what to do with her.  Giving a three star rating, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw claimed the movie proves 'claustrophobic' and 'repetitive.' Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday; seen in September in London  The Times' Kevin Maher wrote: 'The director Todd Phillips said there would be no follow-up to the original, but he changed his mind and the result is a derivative musical' 'This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance since Anthony Hopkins reworked his silky and terrifying Dr Lecter from for the campy, kitschy.'  Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.  Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from fans as they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of losing her acting career.  Lady GagaJoaquin Phoenix

Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and integrity is at the heart of their reason for entering Parliament in the first place hear themselves? In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against proposed electoral reforms that the major parties look set to come together to support. The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals can donate, caps on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to prevent the equivalent of an arms race, and a $90million limit on what any party can spend at an election - actually less than the major parties currently spend. The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds for donations, thus increasing the transparency of who makes political donations in the first place. So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using their cash to influence election outcomes - and the extent to which they can use their wealth at all will be limited. The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the speed and frequency that disclosures of donations need to be made. At present we have the absurd situation in which donations get made - but you only find out the details of who has given what to whom many months later, well after elections are won and lost. In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater transparency and far less big money being injected into campaigning by the wealthy. Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were 'running scared' with the policy and warned the reform would 'not stop the rot'  Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot - saying if it serves only the major parties 'it's a rort, not reform'. Teal independent ACT senator David Pocock (right) said: 'What seems to be happening is a major-party stitch-up' Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under the current rules, will need to disclose having done so. And how much they can donate will be capped. Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling them a 'stitch-up', 'outrageous' and 'a rort, not a reform'.  They have lost their collective minds after finding out that Labor's proposal just might secure the support of the opposition. I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before even starting to write this column. Because I had assumed - incorrectly - that these important transparency measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must have been proposed by the virtue-signalling Greens or the corruption-fighting Teals, in a united crossbench effort to drag the major parties closer to accountability. More fool me. The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being put forward by Labor and is opposed by a growing cabal of crossbenchers. It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply, the Greens and Teals doth protest too much on this issue. Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political donors such as Clive Palmer Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder Simon Holmes à Court The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam Bandt and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured) The major parties have long complained about the influence the likes of Simon Holmes à Court wields behind the scenes amongst the Teals.  And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules. Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of virtue are running a mile from reforms that will curtail dark art of political donations. The Labor government isn't even seeking for these transparency rules to take effect immediately, by the way. It won't be some sort of quick-paced power play before the next election designed to catch the crossbench out. They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone enough time to absorb and understand the changes before preparing for them. Don't get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the Coalition. I imagine the opposition want to go over the laws with a fine tooth comb. As they should - because it certainly isn't beyond Labor to include hidden one-party advantages in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions are capable of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come. But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented, the crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition, to what is being advocated for. They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that could be incorporated in the package. To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard false commentary about being in politics to 'clean things up'.

SHANGHAI, Oct 9 (Reuters) - China's yuan held steady against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, as investors awaited more stimulus from the world's second-largest economy and the Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes due later in the day to gauge its policy path. The dollar held steady, giving some relief to the yuan after a sharp rally to a seven-week high last week. Spot yuan opened at 7.0650 per dollar and was last trading 12 pips lower than the previous late session close at 7.066. Prior to the market opening, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) set the midpoint rate, around which the yuan is allowed to trade in a 2% band, at 7.0568 per dollar, only 3 pips weaker than a Reuters' estimate. China's blue-chip CSI300 index dropped for the first time since Sept. 13, poised to snapping a 10-day winning streak, after officials on Tuesday failed to offer much new on stimulus plans to revive the economy. The yuan is down 0.7% against the dollar so far this month, due to broad dollar strength, but the currency has 0.5% firmed for the year-to-date. China equities' recent rally has raised the bar for an upside surprise from expected fiscal stimulus news, said UBS strategists led by Rohit Arora, adding that the offshore yuan's near-term risk reward is unattractive. "Historically, fizzling of China equities' spurts acted as a bigger drag on CNH vis-à-vis the tailwinds from equities' surge," the strategists said. Nevertheless, market participants are still awaiting additional stimulus measures that could help further lift China asset sentiment. Citi FX traders think the offshore yuan could trade well if local equities remain supported, similar to what happened in Nov. 2022 - Jan. 2023, according to the bank's note to clients. The offshore yuan traded at 7.0682 yuan per dollar, up about 0.09% in Asian trade. The dollar's six-currency index was 0.039% higher at 102.53.

It's going to be end of mine day, but before finish I am reading this wonderful piece of writing to improve my knowledge.

ANGELA HARTNETT'S BEEF & VEAL MEATBALLS Meatballs are super-quick to make for a weeknight supper and there are many ways to serve them (see tip). The veal in these gives a lightness to the result, but you can swap it out for all beef, or flavourful pork mince. This is a good way to use up any day-old bread hanging around. The recipe is easy to double up on and freeze so you have a meal for an emergency. SERVES 4 4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the onion 1 onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, chopped 400g tin chopped tomatoes 200g white bread (day old, if possible) whole milk (enough to soak the bread) 500g beef mince 250g English veal mince 2 tbsp finely grated parmesan, plus extra to serve 4 anchovies, finely chopped 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley salt and freshly ground black pepper 350g dried spaghetti, to serve (optional; see tip) 1 First make a tomato sauce. In a saucepan, heat a dash of olive oil over a medium heat, then add half the chopped onion and half the garlic, then sauté for 10 minutes to soften. Add the tomatoes and when the liquid starts to bubble, reduce to a simmer and leave to cook, stirring occasionally (about 20 minutes, to create a thick sauce), while you make the meatballs. 2 In a bowl, soak the bread in the milk until soft. In another bowl, mix the beef, veal, parmesan, anchovies, half the parsley and the rest of the onions and garlic. Then add the soaked bread, lightly squeezing any excess milk from it first. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Mould the mixture into 12-14 meatballs. 3 Put the 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the meatballs, turning (for about 5 minutes) to ensure they colour all over. If necessary, cook in batches so they are not all squashed together, setting each batch aside on a plate while you cook the remainder. 4 To finish, remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside. Pour the tomato sauce into the frying pan over a medium heat. Put the meatballs back into the pan for a further 4-5 minutes to cook through. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley before serving. TIP You can serve the meatballs as they come, or on top of spaghetti. If you would prefer the latter, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain it in a colander, reserving a cupful of the cooking water to loosen the meatball sauce if necessary, and then transfer it back to the pan and toss it with a little olive oil and butter. Put the spaghetti on a serving plate and top with the meatballs and sauce. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of parmesan.
