Hugh Hefner's son starts OnlyFans to fund Pokémon cards
Hugh Hefner's son, Marston, has kickstarted a side hustle to fund his Pokémon card collection. The 33-year-old son of the former Playboy founder told Page Six how his relationship with his father made him feel comfortable about his sexuality and realise that "there's nothing wrong with nudity or sexuality". "I grew up, you know, in an environment where that was kind of hammered home, where there’s nothing wrong with nudity, nudity’s normal," he told the publication. He went on to share his love for Pokémon cards and comic books, being an avid collector of the two. "This is like a way for me to get some income so that I can buy that Pokémon card that I really want," he said, adding that a Trophy card, which can cost up to six figures, will be in his pocket "before the year's end." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter While Marston is seemingly enjoying his new hustle, his wife Anna isn't yet sold on the idea. "She’s not crazy about me being on OnlyFans," he suggested. "She would rather me not be on OnlyFans but what’s more important to her is me pursuing my dreams or my interests — taking risks." However, he went on to justify his decision by calling it a "long-term avenue for further financial security." Marston, who identifies as "bisexual AF" opened up about being supportive of each other's interests. "If she wanted to do an open relationship, we’ll talk about it. If she wanted to do anything sexual, that’s a conversation that we have no matter what, and we are always having it," he said. "I think we grew up with parents who, like, maybe the father could stray, or it was more acceptable for the male to do whatever they want. That’s not — I don’t believe in that."

Britney Spears' iconic 'Toxic' hit was actually about an Irish vet
Britney Spears fans are stunned to learn that her iconic hit 'Toxic' could be about an Irish vet. Making waves in the charts back in 2003, the single derives from the pop star's fourth studio album, In the Zone. It was initially offered to Kylie Minogue, who turned it down. It explores the connection and addiction to a toxic lover. Well now, in one of the most bizarre crossovers and what certainly wasn't on our 2023 bingo cards, it appears as though the track could be about Supervet Dr Noel Fitzpatrick. The song was written by Cathy Dennis, who was dating the vet at the time. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "The man who inspired the Britney Spears track 'Toxic' was someone that the song’s co-writer Cathy Dennis had been dating in the early 2000s, who broke up with her in 2003: Noel Fitzpatrick," Pop B*tch claimed. "'It’s unlikely you’d have known who he was at the time (unless you had a sick spaniel) but he’s better known to most people nowadays as Channel 4 ’s Supervet!" The pair said to have met when Cathy took in her Labrador Charlie to his surgery. Britney Spears - Toxic (Official HD Video) www.youtube.com This isn't the first time the rumours have surfaced, either... In an older episode of This Morning, Holly Willoughby candidly asked the famed vet whether he believed 'Toxic' was about him. Noel replied: "You may have to ask Kylie Minogue whether 'I Can't Get You Out Of My Head' is written about me." It didn't take long for the discovery to be shared across social media, with one Twitter user writing: "I still can’t get over 'Toxic' by Britney Spears is about the Supervet." Another chimed in: "I’m still not over 'Toxic' being about Noel Fitzpatrick." Have your say in our news democracy.
