Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle prediction: Go with live underdog

If you look at the record through five matches, it makes sense that the betting market remains skeptical of Crystal Palace.

Patrick Vieira’s Eagles are 1-2-2 (W-D-L) with a -2 goal differential, but those numbers need some context.

No team in the Premier League has played a tougher stretch of opponents to open 2022-23 than the Eagles, who have taken on Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Brentford.

Crystal Palace will face another stiff test with an away match against Newcastle on Saturday.

Despite the fact that Newcastle will be without Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin, they are the +100 favorite on the three-way moneyline.

Betting on Sports?

When you factor in home-field advantage (around 30-40 cents in soccer), these odds suggest that this injury-riddled version of Newcastle would be a decent favorite over Crystal Palace on a neutral field.

Palace’s defense graded out as a top-six unit last season in terms of preventing expected goals and big scoring chances.

This season they rank 15th in expected goals allowed through Matchweek 5, but when you look at the offenses they’ve played and how those matches played out, they were up 1-0 on Liverpool and 2-0 on Manchester City, it makes sense that their xGA is a little inflated. Crystal Palace is a live ’dog on Saturday.

The play: Crystal Palace +275.

NASA ready for second attempt at lunar launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Ground teams at Kennedy Space Center prepared on Saturday for a second try at launching NASA’s towering, next-generation moon rocket on its debut flight, hoping to have remedied engineering problems that foiled the initial countdown five days earlier.

The 32-story tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and its Orion capsule were due for blastoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 2:17 p.m. EDT, kicking off NASA’s ambitious moon-to-Mars program Artemis program 50 years after the last Apollo lunar mission.

The previous launch bid on Monday ended with technical problems forcing a halt to the countdown and postponement of the uncrewed flight.

Tests indicated technicians have since fixed a leaky fuel line that contributed to Monday’s canceled launch, Jeremy Parsons, a deputy program manager at the space center, told reporters on Friday.

Two other key issues on the rocket itself – a faulty engine temperature sensor and some cracks in insulation foam – have been resolved to NASA’s satisfaction, Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin told reporters Thursday night.

Weather is always an additional factor beyond NASA’s control. The latest forecast called for a 70% chance of favorable conditions during Saturday’s two-hour launch window, according to the U.S. Space Force at Cape Canaveral.

If the countdown clock were halted again, NASA could reschedule another launch attempt for Monday or Tuesday.

NASA is set to relaunched on either Monday or Tuesday, weather permitting.

Dubbed Artemis I, the mission marks the first flight for both the SLS rocket and the Orion capsule, built under NASA contracts with Boeing Co BA.N and Lockheed Martin Corp LMT.N, respectively.

It also signals a major change in direction for NASA’s post-Apollo human spaceflight program, after decades focused on low-Earth orbit with space shuttles and the International Space Station.

Named for the goddess who was Apollo’s twin sister in ancient Greek mythology, Artemis aims to return astronauts to the moon’s surface as early as 2025.

Twelve astronauts walked on the moon during six Apollo missions from 1969 to 1972, the only spaceflights yet to place humans on the lunar surface. But Apollo, born of the U.S.-Soviet space race during the Cold War, was less science-driven than Artemis.

The new moon program has enlisted commercial partners such as SpaceX and the space agencies of Europe, Canada and Japan to eventually establish a long-term lunar base of operations as a stepping stone to even more ambitious human voyages to Mars.

Getting the SLS-Orion spacecraft off the ground is a key first step. Its first voyage is intended to put the 5.75-million-pound vehicle through its paces in a rigorous test flight pushing its design limits and hopefully proving the spacecraft suitable to fly astronauts.

If the mission succeeds, a crewed Artemis II flight around the moon and back could come as early as 2024, to be followed within a few more years with the program’s first lunar landing of astronauts, one of them a woman, with Artemis III.

Billed as the most powerful, complex rocket in the world, the SLS represents the biggest new vertical launch system the U.S. space agency has built since the Saturn V of the Apollo era.

Barring last-minute difficulties, Saturday’s countdown should end with the rocket’s four main R-25 engines and its twin solid-rocket boosters igniting to produce 8.8 million pounds of thrust, about 15% more thrust the Saturn V, sending the spacecraft streaking skyward.

The SLS is scheduled to make it around the moon and back in 37-days.

About 90 minutes after launch, the rocket’s upper stage will thrust Orion out of Earth orbit on course for a 37-day flight that brings it to within 60 miles of the lunar surface before sailing 40,000 miles beyond the moon and back to Earth. The capsule is expected to splash down in the Pacific on Oct. 11.

Although no humans will be aboard, Orion will be carrying a simulated crew of three – one male and two female mannequins – fitted with sensors to measure radiation levels and other stresses that real-life astronauts would experience.

A top objective for the mission is to test the durability of Orion’s heat shield during re-entry as it hits Earth’s atmosphere at 24,500 miles per hour, or 32 times the speed of sound, on its return from lunar orbit – much faster than more common re-entries of capsules returning from Earth orbit.

The heat shield is designed to withstand re-entry friction expected to raise temperatures outside the capsule to nearly 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

More than a decade in development with years of delays and budget overruns, the SLS-Orion spacecraft has so far cost NASA at least $37 billion, including design, construction, testing and ground facilities. NASA’s Office of Inspector General has projected total Artemis costs will run to $93 billion by 2025.

NASA defends the program as a boon to space exploration that has generated tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in commerce.

Indiana child porn suspect Kegan Kline tied to Delphi murders soliciting sexual favors from prison

A suspect accused of possessing child pornography who is tied to the 2017 murders of two teenage girls in Delphi, Indiana, has been soliciting sexual favors from women who write him in prison, according to two podcast hosts.

“In addition to wanting money, women have been contacting him, and he is trying to exploit them sexually in order to give them information about the case,” podcast host and attorney Kevin Greenlee told Fox News Digital. “There was a particularly striking exchange where a … young woman was asking about the case and talking about church, and he responded very quickly by turning it into a sexual conversation.”

Kegan Kline, 27, is currently in custody in Miami County, Indiana, for 30 counts of child pornography-related charges dating back to 2016 and 2017. He was linked to the Delphi murders after he was reportedly in contact with one of the victims, 14-year-old Libby German, the night before she was murdered, according to FOX 59 Indianapolis

German and Abigail Williams, 13, were found murdered on the morning of Feb. 13, 2017, after German’s sister dropped the pair off at the entrance of a hiking trail the day prior.

Kline allegedly made plans to meet up with German at the bridge where her body was found the next day, but he denies that he had anything to do with the girls’ killings and has not been charged in connection to the Delphi case.

Kegan Kline was reportedly in contact with 14-year-old Libby German.
Indiana State Police

Greenlee and journalist Áine Cain who host “The Murder Sheet” podcast and have been following the Delphi murder case, were recently in contact with Kline via a messaging platform that Kline can use to communicate with others outside prison.

One woman who wrote to Kline told the podcast hosts that the suspect offered to give her information if she allowed him to masturbate in front of her via FaceTime. He also reportedly attempted to get the adult women who have contacted him in prison to perform sexual favors in exchange for information, which Greenlee noted in the latest episode of “The Murder Sheet” podcast is particularly disturbing given the crimes Kline is accused of.

In addition, Kline repeatedly told Cain and Greenlee that he would not divulge any information without payment, which the podcast hosts declined to do as journalists.

“Don’t message me again. You have put out so much bulls*t against me. I get you have a podcast and want money from this, but it’s wrong what you’re doing, Aine,” Kline said in one message to Cain that she and Greenlee discussed in their latest podcast episode.

“There is a lot of misinformation. People doing interviews that don’t even know me, Aine, and lying all about me. I’m very upset about it. I’m having a hard enough time,” another message from Kline read.

“How many questions are you wanting to ask? I’ll answer some, but not for free. Everyone is making money off my name, and I’m sitting in here hungry with nothing,” Kline said in another message, which does not support what sources have told the podcast hosts about Kline gaining a significant amount of weight in prison.

The podcast hosts have reported extensively on the Delphi murders and Kline, and they wanted to reach out to the suspect to give him a chance to share his side of the story. When Cain and Greenlee asked Kline what they got wrong in their reporting, he evaded the question and said he would only provide answers in exchange for $400.

Abby Williams was 13 years old.
Indiana State Police

“I would characterize our conversation with Kegan Kline as pretty brief,” Cain explained. “… He expressed disapproval of some of our reporting on him. We asked him for clarification. He didn’t provide it. The main thing that we took out of it was that he wants to charge people money to interview him about the Delphi case.”

Indiana court documents obtained by Cain and Greenlee in May and August also indicate possible developments in the case involving Kline.

Cain and Greenlee recently received an anonymous tip that led them to the Wabash River in Peru, Indiana, — not far from Kline’s home that was raided in 2017 after the Delphi murders — on Aug. 23, where they witnessed and photographed authorities searching the water with various tools.

On Aug. 19, the Indiana State Police petitioned the Miami County Circuit Court for custody of Kline, though he currently remains in Miami County. 

In March, Cain and Greenlee obtained a 2020 transcript of an ISP interview with Kline that was accidentally posted online.

According to the transcript, which has since been sealed in the court record, Kline told police he communicated with German on the day she was killed. The transcript also revealed that Kline searched “How long does DNA last” on his computer and failed a police polygraph.

In December 2021, ISP said in a Facebook post that it had uncovered a fictitious Instagram account under the username “Anthony_Shots” during its investigation into the murders. The transcript indicates that Kline had access to the account, which had been in contact with German. Kline told investigators, however, that he gave the account password to “a lot of people,” according to the document.

“This profile was being used from 2016 to 2017 on social media applications, including but not limited to, Snapchat and Instagram,” Indiana police said in the Facebook post. “The fictitious anthony_shots profile used images of a known male model and portrayed himself as being extremely wealthy and owning numerous sports cars. The creator of the fictitious profile used this information while communicating with juvenile females to solicit nude images, obtain their addresses, and attempt to meet them. Pictured below, you’ll see images of the known male model and images the fictitious anthony_shots profile sent to underage females.”

Police say German used her cellphone to snap images of a man walking across the railroad bridge shortly before she and Williams were killed on Feb. 13, 2017. German also recorded the man believed to be the killer ordering the friends “down the hill.”

Authorities are asking anyone who may know something about the Instagram profile or anything about the case to contact law enforcement at abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com or 765-822-3535.

Father of young Queens hit-and-run victim pleads with killer

The father of a 5-year-old Queens boy who was killed by a hit-and-run driver Thursday begged the suspect to surrender to police.

Richard Martinez made the plea in a Friday interview where he also remembered his son Jonathan Martinez as a “very happy child” who “loved God.”

The youngster was on his way home from the park with his father and three siblings when he was fatally hit by a white Dodge pickup truck at 100th Street in East Elmhurst at about 5:30 p.m., according to police.

The driver sped away after the fatal crash.

“We were crossing the street and a white truck wanted to turn,” Martinez recalled. “He looked at us, he saw us four there, it seemed like he wanted to hit us,” the heartbroken father said in Spanish.

“I pulled my other children back but didn’t get to my third child Johnathan in time. He was struck by the bumper and two wheels ran over him.”

Jonathan Martinez was on his way home from the park with his father and three siblings when he was fatally hit.

The elder Martinez said he forgave the cowardly suspect as he called on the suspect to turn himself in.

“I forgive you, we are human. All I ask [is] turn yourself into authorities. Tell them it was you that it was a mistake, whatever,” Martinez said.

“You have taken a piece of my heart … my child was innocent and had a whole future ahead of him.”

The boy — who was only a block from his house when he was struck — was pronounced dead less than an hour after the accident from severe trauma, police said.

Cavs price slashed after Donovan Mitchell trade

The Donovan Mitchell blockbuster deal finally went down on Thursday. And it wasn’t to New York, after all.

The Jazz superstar was traded to the Cavaliers in a package headlined by Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and three first-round picks. That came just two days after the Knicks declined an offer to acquire the hometown star — which had been the expectation around the league until Thursday’s stunner.

Just a week ago, Cleveland was dealing as a +10000 long shot at BetMGM despite a promising young core and plenty of trade ammunition. After Thursday’s deal, the Cavs are priced at +3000 to win it all — something they haven’t done since LeBron James led them to their only title in 2015-16.

Cavaliers among NBA Finals contenders after Mitchell trade

Cleveland was already a compelling long-shot bet after a breakout 2021-22 season, in which it posted the NBA’s best 30-game start against the spread (23-7) in 16 years and held the No. 3 seed in the East with a 50-win pace at the All-Star break. But injuries took their toll on this upstart group: first Sexton, then Ricky Rubio, then star center Jarrett Allen, whose late-season absence ultimately knocked this team from postseason contention.

Now this group adds Mitchell, a three-time All-Star who averaged 25.9 points and 5.3 assists last season and presents another dynamic scoring option alongside fellow All-Star Darius Garland and rising star Evan Mobley. With Mitchell and Garland, in particular, the Cavaliers are one of just five teams in the NBA with two top-20 scorers from last season.

The Jazz had two of the NBA’s best players just a few months ago, but the blockbuster deals of Mitchell and center Rudy Gobert — whom the team shipped to Minnesota earlier this summer — have left them with one of the league’s most uninspiring rosters entering the season. It should come as no surprise that Utah, which was already dealing as a +15000 long shot, is now tied for the longest title odds, and even that might be generous with more moves likely to come amid Danny Ainge’s rebuild.

Is there still value on Cavaliers?

With their odds slashed by 70% after Thursday’s news, you may be kicking yourself for not betting the Cavaliers beforehand. This team was certainly an intriguing dart throw before the deal, but it still lacked a true “A1” ball-handling star, which tends to be a prerequisite for championship success in today’s NBA.

They have that now in Mitchell, and his playoff bona fides — which include two 50-point games and the seventh-highest scoring average (28.3) in NBA history — are the stuff of legend. Is that enough to carry this group over the top? On paper, this is a top-five roster in the East with upside to climb, especially if we see continued growth from the young core of Mobley (21), Garland (22), Allen (24) and Mitchell (25).

Betting on Sports?

As of Friday, this group is dealing as the sixth-best team in the East and at nearly double the price of the fifth-place Heat (+1600). Even if it’s likely a year too early to expect real championship aspirations, there’s still value on a team that is suddenly built to compete with the best in the league.

I busted my boyfriend for cheating — when he lasted too long in bed

It was a blessing and a curse.

A jilted woman is going viral after revealing how she figured out that her boyfriend was cheating — when he unexpectedly got better in bed.

The sexy sleuth elaborated on her discovery in a recent TikTok repost detailing his suspicious longevity in the sack. The original clip reportedly amassed more than 700,000 views before her account was suspended for unrelated reasons, according to Jam Press.

“He lasted longer than usual in bed,” 22-year-old Pernille Torhov, from Norway, said of the tantalizing tell — which she noticed during a lovemaking session just after her beau had returned from a trip. She claimed that they had been dating for four months when he told her he was going on a jaunt to a cabin with his pals.

Alarm bells went off after the couple made whoopie upon his return, and Torhov noticed that a change in his boudoir performance.

Specifically, her boyfriend took his time in the sack, which Torhov deemed odd as “it had been a week since we last saw each other.”

“He lasted longer than usual in bed,” said Pernille Torhov, 22 describing the unlikely tell.

“I was thinking to myself that it was a bit strange, but didn’t say anything to him,” said the suspicious Norwegian, who decided to turn a “blind eye” to her beau’s behavior because she was “so in love with this man.”

Torhov tried to convince herself that she was “overthinking” things, but her initial suspicions were confirmed after the cheater came clean via a Snapchat message.

“I feel pretty bad and I’m disappointed in myself because there’s something I haven’t told you,” the alleged digital confession read. “One of the boys invited two girls on our cabin trip, and I ended up sleeping with one of them.”

She had reportedly been dating the philanderer for four months when he decided to go on a jaunt within this country with his pals.

The remorseful man went on to claim that he had no “desire to do anything” with those women, but things took a turn after one of the gals “had to sleep over because they couldn’t get home” — and there were only two beds, he claimed.

“She slept in my room, and it went as it did, but that’s no excuse anyway, I thought it was stupid of me,” the bozo insisted.

He also pointed out that while he and Torhov had not previously established an “exclusive” relationship, his conscious weighed heavy after the time they’d spent together — insisting that he is “quite disappointed” with himself. “This is really not the person I want to be.”

Torhov was devastated by the admission.

“When I read the message I was kind of shocked and obviously very sad,” said the crestfallen gal. “He came home to me and had sex with me straight after he had sex with the girl on the cabin trip,” she lamented.

Despite her beau’s romantic infraction, Torhov decided against dumping the bozo.
Jam Press/Pernille Torhov

She was furthermore disappointed with his delivery — via social media app. Insisting they break up “face-to-face” — the star-crossed lovers would rekindle their romance in the end.

“I decided to give him a second chance and he’s turned out to be a very sweet and nice boy,” Torhov said.

Adrienne Arsht sells Miami estate for a record $106.87M

Living in the Free State of Florida doesn’t come for free.

Businesswoman and philanthropist Adrienne Arsht has sold her 4-acre waterfront compound in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood for a cool $106.87 million, its listing brokerage confirmed to The Post on Friday. The Wall Street Journal, which broke news of the sale, reported that mighty sum not only breaks a sales record for Miami-Dade County, but also marks the first time a Miami home has traded hands for nine figures.

Arsht listed the property in January for $150 million, with that asking price also having marked a record for the priciest single-family spread ever to list in that county.

The identity of the deep-pocketed new owner, according to listing brokerage Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, is undisclosed. That buyer first visited the spread in July and the deal reportedly moved fast. However, Arsht — for her part — knows she’s leaving the estate in good hands.

“As the steward of this beautiful property, I am proud to leave its legacy to the next generations of caretakers,” said Arsht in the press statement. “May they also enjoy the breathtaking view!”

Located in Coconut Grove, the property has views of downtown Miami.

From the time Arsht listed it, she knew she would donate the proceeds of the sale to charity — and she still doesn’t know which one, or ones, she’ll choose.

This high-dollar deal beats the previous record set earlier in 2022 by InterSystems founder Phillip Ragon’s roughly $93 million purchase for three adjacent Atlantic Ocean-front homes in Golden Beach.

Arsht’s estate — neighboring the Vizcaya Museum — includes two separate houses spanning some 25,000 square feet of living space and a total of 12 bedrooms. Perched on one Miami’s highest Biscayne Bay-front elevations, it also includes more than 400 feet of water frontage, looking out to views of Key Biscayne and the downtown Miami skyline.

The compound’s main residence is known as Indian Spring, which Arsht built in 1999, tapping Jose A. Gelabert-Navia, a former dean of the University of Miami School of Architecture, for the design. Inside Indian Spring, which has a foyer with a sweeping staircase, all living areas have views of Biscayne Bay — and include a great room and a formal dining room with seating for 20-plus guests.

The master bedroom suite has a full gym. Elsewhere, this structure has a garage for six cars, an upstairs apartment with an office space, a swimming pool that fronts the bay and a lighted tennis court. Arsht purchased the site for Indian Spring in the late 1990s for approximately $4 million. That land was previously owned by the Ziegfeld Follies star Peggy Hopkins Joyce and her then-husband, the lumber magnate James Stanley Joyce.

The estate has a total of 12 bedrooms.

The other residence on the grounds is known as Villa Serena, which dates to 1913. William Jennings Bryan, a former US Secretary of State and a three-time candidate for president, built it with the design help of architect August Geiger. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places — and it, too, looks out to bay vistas. Restored by Arsht after she bought it in the late 2000s for about $12 million, Villa Serena boasts two ornate staircases heading up to the sleeping quarters and, elsewhere, a three-car garage with a guest house perched above.

Villa Serena had been listed in 2007; a developer had planned to purchase it, demolish the existing structure and build several homes on its land. Arsht worked with local historians to give it that historical designation. The restoration took upwards of four years and cost several million dollars.

Indian Spring, the more recently built home, has a massive dining room.

Arsht hails from Delaware and splits her time between Miami, Washington, DC and New York. She’s the former head of her family’s TotalBank, which sold to Spain’s Banco Popular Español in 2007 for $300 million. Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts bears her name following a $30 million donation made in 2008.

Ashley Cusack of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty had the listing. Jill Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group with Coldwell Banker represented the buyer in the deal.

Alec Baldwin Hits Back at Rob Schneider ‘SNL’ Beef with Trump Takedown: “Your Man Is a Maniac”

Alec Baldwin is inserting himself in the Rob Schneider and Saturday Night Live beef after Schneider called out Kate McKinnon‘s 2016 cold open performance of “Hallelujah” as Hillary Clinton. Baldwin filmed and posted a lengthy video on Instagram in which he pondered art, politics and Donald Trump, while also questioning why we’re talking about Schneider’s take on a years-old SNL sketch — a puzzling choice since he rambled about said sketch and posted all of it on a public platform, continuing the conversation. But that’s just our take!

The 30 Rock star, who has hosted SNL more than 15 times and frequently impersonated Trump on the show, mused in his video, “I guess it must be an incredibly slow news cycle if we’re talking about Rob Schneider’s thoughts about Kate McKinnon playing Hillary Clinton so many years ago.”

While Baldwin praised Schneider’s “great run” as an SNL cast member from 1990 to 1994 and acknowledged the comic’s “very funny” work, he went on to blast the conservative views he and other Americans share.

“I hear that these conservatives say that there’s a bias against them, and I think that’s unfortunate,” Baldwin said, before launching into a commentary on Trump, who he described as “the only president in our country’s history who has served as president and was unchanged by the process,” adding, “It must be tough for the Rob Schneiders of the world. It must be tough that your man is a maniac.”

Baldwin didn’t stop there, though. The actor also offered up his analysis of SNL, explaining, “a third of the episodes of SNL have been good, and a third of them so-so, and a third not so good,” but ultimately conceding that the show is here to stay, no matter what Schneider says.

“In a couple more years, they’re going to be doing their 50th season, so they must be doing something right,” Baldwin said, adding, “I love the institution that is SNL. I’ve had a lot of fun with them.”

His video comes after Schneider’s comments proclaiming SNL was officially “over” in 2016 with McKinnon’s performance. During a conversation with The Blaze’s Glenn Beck, per Mediaite, Schneider said, “I hate to crap on my old show,” before critiquing the “Hallelujah” cover.

“I literally prayed, ‘please have a joke at the end,’” Schneider said of the segment. “Don’t do this. Please don’t go down there. And there was no joke at the end, and I went, ‘It’s over. It’s over. It’s not gonna come back.’”

SNL is actually coming back, but the show hasn’t yet set a Season 48 premiere date. We can expect new episodes sometime this fall, so stay tuned for an official season premiere announcement.

Madonna shares cryptic messages with tattoo she got to honor her mother

Madonna’s got some fresh ink to honor her late mother.

The “Like a Virgin” hitmaker showed off her new wrist tattoo on Instagram Thursday, revealing the ink job she got to remember their special bond.

The three snaps shared on the 64-year-old singer’s Instagram Story show an “X” above the word “Maman,” which is French for mother. The tattoo also includes a broken heart.

The first image shows a glowing Madonna holding up her wrist over her head with the caption, “Broken hearts club.”

In the second snap, the seven-time Grammy winner’s wrist tattoo was seemingly smeared in blood as she wrote, “We all bleed the same color.”

“All mothers get their heart broken,” she added.

Madonna is twice divorced. Her first marriage to Sean Penn was from 1985 to 1989. Her last marriage was to Guy Richie, which lasted from 2000 until 2008.

Madonna took her next post to a new level, spearing what appears to be blood over the tattoo.

Her final post of her new ink had an unclear message attached to it.

She’s also the mother of six children; her oldest daughter, Lourdes, who she had with Carlos Leon, is 25, and Rocco who just turned 22 on August 11, who she had with Guy Ritchie and her adopted children David Banda and Mercy James, both 16, and her two twins, Estere and Stella Ciccone, 10.

Madonna was five years old when her mother passed away from breast cancer on December 1, 1963, at the age of 30.

Madonna candidly admitted in a recent Youtube video she regrets both of her marriages but has found solace with a sex “obsession.”

During her 64th birthday, Madge found herself making out with different women in Italy for the sake of her Instagram.

‘He knows what guys like’

He’s not her only fan, but he’s her biggest fan.

Denise Richards revealed her latest moneymaking venture — OnlyFans — is somewhat of a family business.

Appearing on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live on Thursday, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star revealed her husband Aaron Phypers shoots “a lot” of her OnlyFans content.

“I do bikini, I do lingerie, I do stuff that is sexier ’cause I also think, ‘Why not?’ if I’m able to do stuff outside of some of the more conservative stuff that’s on my Instagram. I do show my boobies, my tush,” the 51-year-old said.

“They’re already out there if you Google them.”

Richards revealed in July that she joined OnlyFans because she considered it to be a smart business move.

“Sometimes you have to do something else once in a while,” she continued. “And Aaron takes a lot of my content for me. He knows what guys like. I ask him, I show him things and say, ‘What do you think?’”

Richards set up her OnlyFans profile one week after her 18-year-old daughter, Sam “Sami” Sheen, created her own account.

The “Wild Things” actress frequently encourages her 1.4 million Instagram followers to subscribe to her account for $25 a month.

Sami’s father, Charlie Sheen, has openly expressed he is opposed to his daughter being on OnlyFans and even blamed Richards, his ex-wife, for their child’s new career move.

“I do not condone this, but since I’m unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity,” the “Two and a Half Men” alum, 56, previously said.
