Bonnie Blue Announces Pregnancy in Viral Video – Weeks After Unprotected Sex with 400 Men in 'Breeding Mission' Stunt!

Image
Controversial UK adult content creator Bonnie Blue (real name Tia Billinger) has shocked fans by announcing she's pregnant, just weeks after her highly publicized "breeding mission" where she claimed unprotected sex with around 400 men. In a YouTube video posted February 22, 2026, Bonnie shared feeling sick during a Tenerife holiday—nausea, migraines, fatigue—leading to a home pregnancy test. She declared: "Definitely pregnant... like fully pregnant." A follow-up ultrasound (featuring a doctor in a ski mask) confirmed early pregnancy, with timing aligning to the stunt. She had promoted the event as fertility-timed, with tested participants but no protection. The news has sparked intense backlash: critics call it reckless and irresponsible in the adult industry, while some see it as rage-bait or a stunt. Fellow creator Sophie Rain called it "so saddening" and suggested a serious conversation. Online reactions are divided—some question if it's real,...

PVR Inox's popcorn power: Despite ticket sales dropping Rs. 316 cr, F&B spends rise 1.5%

Despite a sharper-than-expected decline in moviegoers during FY25, PVR Inox — India’s largest multiplex chain — managed to keep revenues afloat by leaning into its Food & Beverage (F&B) offerings, according to company filings and annual reports. The cinemas business faced headwinds from a fallout of the 2023 Hollywood strikes and a softer line-up of mainstream Indian films. Footfalls dropped significantly — ticket sales earnings plunged from Rs. 3,258 crore in FY24 to approximately Rs. 2,942 crore last year, accounting for a Rs. 316 crore fall. Admissions fell nearly 10%, shrinking from 15.14 crore to 13.69 crore overall.

Yet the silver lining came from concessions. Not only did the average ticket price remain stable at Rs. 259, but the average spend per customer on F&B rose 1.5% — from Rs. 132 to Rs. 134. This helped F&B income decline at a lower rate of around Rs. 153 crore, compared to the sharper drop in ticketing revenue. Overall, cinema food revenues dropped from Rs. 1,886 crore to Rs. 1,733 crore. The company clearly doubled down on its F&B business as a growth lever. It launched its first proprietary brand, ‘Dog Father’ hot dogs and rolled out non-vegetarian menus across 116 Inox screens. In a strategic pivot beyond cinemas, PVR Inox entered a joint venture with Devyani International to operate food courts in malls — one has launched in Kota, Rajasthan, with 7 to 9 more planned in FY26.

The home delivery and outdoor catering segments too showed momentum, with aggregator-led deliveries increasing 20% to an average Rs. 2 crore per month in sales. A standout success came from a key snack investor, Zea Maize, which owns the premium popcorn brand ‘4700 BC.’ Its revenues surged nearly 35%, reaching Rs. 102 crore in FY25. With expansion plans into retail and modern trade, the brand is tapping into India’s rapidly growing snacks sector, projected to double from Rs. 45,000 crore in FY23 to Rs. 85,000 crore by 2030. Premium offerings in the segment are forecast to grow even faster.

To facilitate this boost, PVR Inox invested Rs. 44.7 crore in Zea Maize during FY25, earmarking funds for production scale-up as well as hiring leadership for sales and marketing.

Amid the cinema slowdown, PVR Inox’s adaptive strategy underscores the shift toward an integrated entertainment experience — one where popcorn and concessions play a key role in driving business even when ticket sales dip.

Saif Ali Khan on why breaking the rules never looked so good in Netflix’s Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins

For Saif Ali Khan, Marflix Productions’ Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins wasn’t just another film — it was a thrilling plunge into an electrifying parallel universe. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the upcoming Netflix action-heist film boasts a star-studded cast including Jaideep Ahlawat, Nikita Dutta, and Kunal Kapoor. At its heart is Saif’s character Rehan Roy — a charming rogue with a rebellious streak, an adventurous spirit, and a fierce love for family. Reflecting on playing Rehan, Saif shares, “Playing a thief in a heist movie is very interesting because he’s someone who challenges the system, bending the rules. It’s kind of fascinating to watch, read through, and portray. Rehan is a thief with organization, with swag — an adventurer at heart and a family man. He’s the quintessential Hindi film hero in that sense — he breaks rules, cons people, but is kind at heart. You see the bigger picture. That dynamic made him irresistible to portray, and I believe, attractive t...

Sushant Singh Rajput Case: Subhash Chandra apologizes to Rhea Chakraborty after CBI closes the case

Last week, The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially filed a closure report in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, concluding that no evidence of murder was found. The agency’s findings aligned with AIIMS' forensic assessment that the actor’s death on June 14, 2020, was by suicide, dismissing any foul play.
