John Wayne ‘asked to move out of Queen’s way’ after guard forgot who Hollywood star was – My Blog

On Friday, the newly-appointed King Charles III will make his first televised address to Britons, as he confirms his place as the new monarch.While Her Majesty’s death at the age of 96 has left many devastated and in sadness, stories of her warmth and joyfulness have emerged, particularly with other well-known figures.

And when you are one of the world’s most recognisable people, it is not surprising that other famous faces are forgotten, such as that of Hollywood heavyweight John Wayne, who was asked to move when the Queen visited Philadelphia in 1976.Her visit to the American city in the Seventies marked the first time a sitting monarch had come to the location, and was part of celebrations to commemorate the US Bicentennial.
Britain and the Commonwealth yesterday went into mourning after news emerged Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. Her immediate family, including the likes of Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Princess Anne, gathered at Balmoral on Thursday, before confirmation of her passing was made public. It sparked an outpouring of grief across the world, with world leaders and influential figures all marking her death with messages of condolences, and recollections of time they spent together.

The visit to Philadelphia came more than 20 years after her coronation in 1952, and was the second time she had travelled to the US in an official capacity, following the 1959 trip to Chicago.She travelled to the US city on her royal yacht Britannia, alongside her husband Prince Philip, and reportedly some 45 other special guests and dignitaries.The Philadelphia Inquirer reported at the time that “a throng of revellers gathered to get a glimpse of the Queen”, and that when they grew impatient with waiting, began chanting: “We want the Queen!”It was even reported that 67-year-old man John Neri died of a heart attack waiting for her arrival.

In one interaction during her trip, the Inquirer reported how the Queen “capped her day in Philadelphia with a lavish dinner” at the city’s Museum of Art, where a supposed 300 guests gathered.The city’s Daily News, however, noted at the time: “One security worker failed to recognise actor John Wayne and asked him to step out of the Queen’s path as she was entering.“Sammy Davis Jr., though, declined to attend due to prior commitments when [then-Mayor Frank] Rizzo called for him, The Inquirer reported.”Mr Rizzo joined Her Majesty for the trip around Philadelphia, and reportedly told reporters how the Queen was “very attractive and very gracious”.In a speech to onlookers, Her Majesty said: “It seems to me that Independence Day, the Fourth of July, should be celebrated as much in Britain as in America.

“Not in rejoicing at the separation of the American colonies from the British Crown, but in sincere gratitude to the founding fathers of the great republic for having taught Britain a very valuable lesson.“We lost the American colonies because we lacked the statesmanship to know the right time and the manner of yielding, what is impossible to keep.”Another highlight of the trip was when the Queen gave the city another Liberty Bell, and she “went home with a piece of the original”.The Inquirer reported that the mini-Liberty Bell she was given was made from scraps “collected when the cracked bell was drilled and a bolt inserted many years ago”.The Queen reportedly said: “You know, this is one of the finest symbols of any country in the world. Everybody knows about the Liberty Bell.”Her Majesty’s death on September 8 will be marked on Friday with a minute’s silence before King Charles III delivers a speech to the nation, and Commonwealth.The Queen’s funeral is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

Woman Attempting To Sleep With One Person From Every Country Shares The Worst Nationality In Bed

A woman has opened up about her sexual escapades and which country had the best (and worst) lovers

An adult entertainer who has slept with men from all over the world has spilled the tea on her worst and best lovers (so far).

Adult entertainer Coco Bae has slept with men from over 40 countries and counting.

Some of these include America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, and Coco wants to eventually cover all 195 countries.

As her mission continues, the adult star has been ‘collecting flags’ from each nationality she’s slept with to keep track of her sexual escapades.

“My rules are to count the country on his passport, not where the dude happens to be living at the time of our encounter,” she said.

Listing off the countries she’s ‘visited’ (if you get me), Coco went on to tell PerthNow:

“I’ve had men from America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, El Salvador, Holland, Norway, Greece, France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Belize, Djibouti, Nicaragua, Italy, Guatemala, Switzerland and Argentina.”

“And then Honduras, Costa Rica, Thailand, Russia, Columbia? I’m not sure. Albania, Brazil. India, Spain, Peru, Lebanon, Algeria, Croatia, Serbia. Armenia, Scotland, Ukraine and New Zealand.” Impressive.

Coco also answered the question on everyone’s minds: which countries have so far been the best and worst in bed?

According to the adult star, Latinos are the most ‘intense’ in bed.

“My lovers from Brazil were the most enjoyable to be with,” she said.

“They were just up for having fun, whichever way it happens.”

Coco also revealed that men from more conservative countries are quite experimental when it comes to sex.

“Many of the conservative cultures enjoy the most ‘out there’ acts. For example, I have come across many Arab and Indian dudes who really like booty action in various forms,” said Coco.

As for the worst country in bed, apparently her most boring partners have been from Germany.

While they weren’t the best, Coco did praise German men being eager to please and how they apparently ask for feedback.

She also chatted to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, where she shared what her experiences with Aussie men has been like.

“Australian men need to step it up a little bit,” she shared.

“You’re just not putting in any effort. And you need to wash your hands.”

Speaking of how much she loves a tradesman – a popular vocation in Australia – Coco encouraged guys to make sure they ‘scrub behind their fingernails’.

A fair point, if you ask me.

Kanye West Shares Provocative Video Of Wife Bianca In Bed And Fans Can’t Stop Pointing Out How Big It Is

It’s pretty common for Kanye West to post photos of his wife, Bianca Censori, and for fans to go wild over them.

The ‘Golddigger’ rapper has shared a lot of pictures and videos of his Australian wife.

These range from her daring, barely-there outfits to her strange, all-in-one body stockings.

Kanye is also known for making bold comments to get attention, like speaking out against critics.

Recently, the couple has stirred up even more buzz with a new social media post.

They shared a video from their bedroom, and there’s one detail that fans just can’t stop talking about.

On Instagram, Kanye posted a video showing Bianca lying on a bed surrounded by pillows.

She was dressed in all white, including white heels and a tight-fitting outfit.

It looked like she was on her phone, not paying much attention to Kanye, who was breathing heavily behind the camera.

The fans overlooked Bianca’s outfit and focused on the enormous size of the bed she was on.

It looked twice the size of a Super King bed, with enough room for more than five pillows.

One fan commented, “Bed can fit 5 [families] with 6 individuals.”

Another added, “It’s gotta be a nightmare trying to find a fitted sheet for that!”

A third fan mentioned that the huge bed resembled the one from Kanye’s 2016 music video for ‘Famous’.

Kanye soon deleted the video without giving any reason.

Even though the video is no longer available, Kanye is no stranger to sharing provocative content featuring his wife, whether in revealing outfits or suggestive poses.

Bianca seems to be on board with her husband’s posts.

However, not everyone is thrilled, especially her father, who has previously voiced his concerns about the content.

According to a source speaking to DailyMail.com, Bianca’s father, Leo, has asked Kanye to meet with him to talk about the explicit content being shared.

The source said, “Kanye has been invited to go to Australia, and Bianca is hesitant to allow this to happen because she knows how her father will react.”

“Her dad still plans to have a sit-down with Kanye, and Leo will not be intimidated by Kanye’s power or control. No one is expecting this to be all rainbows and family portraits.”

Despite this, Bianca is reportedly more than happy to go along with her husband’s ideas.

An insider told PageSix, “People are confusing Bianca’s creativity. She is a phenomenal personality, a phenomenal actor, who can entertain the public.”

“She’s a performance artist. Bianca is as much a performer as Ye is.”

Bianca and Kanye have been married since 2022, following Kanye’s high-profile split and divorce from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye has four children with Kim: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
