Fast food lover details his quest to visit all 13,544 McDonald's in US
He also has a fierce passion for traveling - so he decided to combine the two and create a challenge for himself to go to every single McDonald's location in America. He kicked off the endeavor in July 2024, and has been to around 350 locations in the last year in states like Wisconsin , Illinois , California , Oregon , and Washington. The content creator been documenting the entire thing on his TikTok account, reviewing each location's food, atmosphere, and cleanliness.
The fast food lover said he's not worried that he'll get sick of the beloved burger chain because he's been eating it regularly since he was 14 and still enjoys it. He also insisted that it has not negatively impacted his health because he has a 'very balanced diet to counter all the fast food he eats.'
'I have been eating McDonald's almost daily for years and I still have maintained a healthy figure and physique,' he said. While he's enjoying the food, Donny insisted that it's more about traveling than eating at McDonald's to him.
He explained that he's always dreamed of seeing the world and that has pushed him to get out there and accomplish it. 'It's always been my dream to travel the entire country and see everything that our country has to offer and this challenge will fulfill my dreams,' said Donny.
With more than 13,000 locations still to go, it would take Donny over 36 years to finish the quest if he visited one McDonald's every day. And he estimates that it will cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete it, but even so, he believes it's possible.
'If I had to take a estimate this will cost me around $500k to $750k in travel cost like food, hotels, gas, flights, and car maintenance,' he dished. He recently launched a GoFundMe for people to help fund his endeavor, where he's raised $105 so far.
'I've always dreamed of visiting every McDonald's in the United States, tasting each unique item on the menu and experiencing the local vibes,' he wrote in the description. 'This journey isn't just about the food; it's about connecting with people and cultures across the country.
'However, the costs of travel, lodging, and meals add up quickly. With your support, I can make this culinary adventure a reality, sharing my experiences and discoveries with you every step of the way. Join me on this delicious quest!' He told the Daily Mail that he's also in the midst of creating a website so people can 'track which ones he has been to so far.' We'll check back in with Donny in three decades to see if he completed the expedition.

Oasis lookalikes puzzle Murrayfield fans at first Edinburgh gig
Fans were stumped as Liam and Noel doppelgangers were spotted loitering outside the venue ahead of the gig. Oasis has officially returned to Scotland after 16 years, as the Gallagher brothers took to the Murrayfield stage last night for the first time since 2009. The gig saw several iconic moments, including the pair blasting Edinburgh council for generalising about their fans, and Noel's influencer daughter sporting a Celtic FC tracksuit in the crowd. But one element of the gig that puzzled Oasis fans was a pair of geezers that had a scary resemblance to the famous brothers. Having dressed up as the rockers for the gig, the two men turned countless heads outside the venue. The Liam and Noel knock-offs, named Glen and Max, were promoting BAFTA award winning provocateur Alison Jackson's Fringe show, Faking Famous: You Can Be a Celebrity Too, where she invites audience members on stage and turns them into uncanny lookalikes of A-list celebs. In a teaser for her new show, the artist took her bootleg Gallagher brothers to the doors of Murrayfield, posting a staged comical video on her Instagram of the fake brothers being knocked back from the gig. The doppelgangers took pictures with fans and urged them to come and see the full show, which is running until August 25 at Assembly. In other news from last night's blow-out gig, Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais was spotted sporting Celtic FC colours. Anais Gallagher has been following the UK stretch of the sell-out Oasis reunion tour, having been spotted at the Wembley shows and even giving some backstage insight on her Instagram. The budding 25-year-old photographer is an Instagram and TikTok influencer, and she has been spotted at several gigs of the UK tour so far. Last night's Murrayfield performance was no different, and the influencer embraced Scots culture by sporting a Celtic FC zippy in an image she posted on her Instagram story during the gig. Throwing up a peace sign in her Adidas Celtic zip-up, the TikToker showed her support for the Glasgow-based team. Her father Noel has previously shared his devotion to Celtic, coming from an Irish Catholic background in Manchester. While he is a well-known Man City fan, the Celtic Star reports that Gallagher has often been spotted supporting the Hoops over the years. The star has also been spotted at Celtic park in the past, notably when Celtic drew 3-3 with Pep Guardiola's side in 2016. Now, Scots Oasis fans adore that the star's daughter is paying homage to her father's favourite Scottish football club. One fan who shared the image of Anais on X wrote: "Oasis star @NoelGallagher's daughter Anais representing the @CelticFC colours at Murrayfield last night. "Noel and Liam's mum Peggy is famously a massive Celtic fan, with both brothers regularly showing their support for the Hoops throughout the years." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Family of Crazy Town singer Shifty Shellshock locked in inheritance battle as they accuse each other of stealing fortune
THE family of late Crazy Town singer Shifty Shellshock are waging a bitter war over his estate that will shock fans across the globe. Loved ones of the rapper, real name Seth Binzer, are battling it out in a Los Angeles court amid a series of jaw-dropping claims. 5 5 5 London-based model Jasmine Lennard - who previously dated Simon Cowell - had a son Phoenix with the tragic song-writer after they started dating in 2010. The father-of-three band frontman passed away at his home at the age of 49 in 2024 - after a lengthy battle with drug and alcohol addiction that spanned four decades. A year on, and Jasmine is at loggerheads with Tracy Shelor, 42, who had a son Gage with the singer, and who was appointed executor of his estate. In sensational legal documents seen by The Sun, Jasmine, 40, claims in a declaration that the LA make-up artist is 'not suitable' for the role due to her 'long-standing pattern of criminal activity' and 'emotional instability'. Jasmine blasted Tracy in a sworn statement which alleges she has an arrest for prostitution. The sultry brunette mum of two Jasmine, a former Big Brother star, goes on to claim that since objecting to Tracy Shelor's appointment she has received, 'multiple written threats from Ms Shelor including to 'ruin my life'.' The beauty's official document objecting to her executor role states: 'Ms Shelor was the only person in the decedent's extended family with whom he had no relationship at the time of his death. "She publicly exploited him during his battle with addiction, sold stories about him to the press, and instigated legacy actions that further deteriorated his mental health. 'To now seek control of his estate after profiting off his struggles and perpetuating them for years is morally repugnant and legally unsupportable.' The legal document claims the remaining estranged family members of troubled Seth are seeking a restraining order against Ms Shelor, and they claim she was banned from his private funeral and burial at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. But Tracy, who dated the rocker between 2004 and 2008 during his well-documented drug addiction issues, has hit back at Jasmine and claimed to The Sun that documents submitted to the court had not been verified. Jasmine's publicly available statement says Ms Shelor has a 'substantial history of legal issues that include criminal charges, arrests and financial instability'. It states her convictions include a 2010 conviction for driving with a suspended license and 2015 arrest in Nevada for 'solicitation of prostitution' - but she was never convicted. A chronological timeline of Ms Shelor's arrests, convictions and financial liabilities include 17 incidents since 2001, according to the online declaration. As well as receiving threats, Jasmine claims Ms Shelor has also 'obstructed the legal and necessary process of obtaining US citizenship and a passport for Phoenix by interfering with a DNA testing process requested by the US Embassy'. Tracy refused permission for a DNA sample to be taken from Gage to help Jasmine's son Phenix have his US citizenship rubber-stamped. Jasmine says, 'her actions have put my son's legal identity and immigration process at serious risk'. The next hearing in the increasingly bitter case is due next month. The Sun understands that Seth's family have accused each other of stealing his fortune and cutting off payments to his dependents since his death. Royalties from his global hits means he receives up to £5,000 a month - which has gone to support his three kids. In 2022, Tracy told The Sun that Seth then owed her more than $64,000 in child support. She said he refused to pay any medical costs for his diabetic son with her - while enjoying vacations to Hawaii. She branded the star a 'deadbeat Dad'. After contacting Tracy yesterday, she told The Sun of Jamine's sworn court statements: 'Substantively, several assertions are inaccurate, and many are decades old and irrelevant.' And she said of her rival: 'She filed these after I declined her personal demand for DNA for her son's US passport - a demand no authority has made of me - and stated she would share them with the press." Tracy claimed that Jasmine's 'actions in this matter have already been reported to the proper authorities.' Tracy told how she is a formally approved foster parent with completed background checks and home evaluations, with 'a strong professional record and community involvement, without any history to support her claims.' And Tracy added she has 'reported the full timeline and supporting evidence to the FBI, the US Department of State, and the UK Embassy'. Seth's family gave thanks for his 'heart of gold' and remembered his 'beautiful soul' in a collective display of unity after his death in a statement to The Sun - before relations turned sour. Crazy Town once said that having 'been to hell and back' shaped them - and they faced more than their fair share of struggles. Seth's death is one of many tragedies to strike the band, who rose to fame in 2000 with their single Butterfly and sold 1.5million of their debut album The Gift Of Game. Crazy Town initially split in 2003 after eight years together amid claims of wild drug-taking and alcohol abuse that led Seth to enter rehab on multiple occasions. The singer had a difficult upbringing. He regularly raided his graphic artist dad's drug stash during his childhood and learned to roll a joint at the age of five. He previously told Rolling Stone: 'My dad was the artsy-fartsy guy who did lots of cocaine and had weed all over the house.' In Seth's teens he sold weed and harder substances and by 18 was jailed for 90 days after robbing another drug dealer at gunpoint. He recalled the band going on coke and speed-fueled marathons while writing songs before being ordered into rehab in 1997. A year later, Seth was in Alcoholics Anonymous and ahead of gigs, the band would regularly recite the AA prayer 'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can.' By 2000, he fell off the wagon and was arrested for throwing a chair out of a window while he was drunk. In a 2001 interview, Seth admitted he had spent three months in prison for attempted burglary and that he was regularly selling and using recreational drugs. Throughout the 2000s, Seth battled addiction and sought help on the reality TV shows Celebrity Rehab 1 and 2 and Sober House 1 and 2. His battle with drugs contributed to his split from his first wife Melissa Clark, who he tied the knot with in 2002 and divorced nine years later, citing irreconcilable differences. It's unclear when Seth and Melissa, who shared son Halo, parted ways but in 2008, he dated Tracy Selor, who he had another boy with, Gage. Jasmine Lennard had sole custody of his third son Phoenix, who had a strong relationship with his Dad until his death. 5 5

White Lotus actor Sam Nivola, 21, calls out 'old movie stars' who get plastic surgery to play 'young roles'
Sam Nivola has slammed 'old movie stars' for getting plastic surgery in order to play 'young roles.' The 21-year-old actor - who jumped into the spotlight for his portrayal of Lochlan Ratliff in The White Lotus earlier this year - shared his honest thoughts on the topic during an interview with Variety published on Thursday. The star expressed that he feels there aren't a lot of new stars breaking out into the entertainment industry in Hollywood. 'The old movie stars are getting plastic surgery, and they're looking younger and they're staying young. You have these really old people playing young roles.' Sam - who is the son of fellow actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola - continued, 'And it's not giving any space for the young'uns to move in and make a name for themselves. 'With all due respect to those people, one day they won't be here anymore, literally, and they will have to create new stars.' Daily Mail has reached out to Nivola's representatives for comment. Sam then revealed that he is a big fan of Timothee Chalamet and called him one of the 'best actors alive.' 'He's one of a very few examples I could come up with. But it's a different kind of movie star; he's not huge and jacked. He looks a little more like me,' the star said, before adding, 'I wish!' Sam kicked off his acting career over a decade earlier when he appeared in an episode of Doll & Em in 2013 - which his mother Emily also starred in. He later took on a role in the 2022 comedic drama White Noise and worked alongside Nicole Kidman in The Perfect Couple (2024). Earlier this year, Sam played Lochlan Ratliff in the third season of HBO Max's The White Lotus. The most recent episodes also had a star-studded cast, with Patrick Schwarzenegger portraying Sam's on-screen older brother. The pair took part in a now-infamous incest scene which was branded as 'disturbing' by some viewers at the time. While also talking to Variety back in March over the scene, the actor admitted that it had been 'weird' to kiss Patrick. 'It was very weird kissing Patrick because he's a really good friend of mine,' Sam explained to the outlet. 'And, you know, I'm straight, he's straight. It's already weird. Patrick was already like a brother to me. It felt sort of f**ked up.' His mother Emily also offered her own thoughts on her son's sex scene in The White Lotus with Patrick and fellow castmate Charlotte Le Bon - where they had a threesome. 'It's so crazy, all of it. It wasn't particularly crazier than having my boy go off to Thailand for so long,' The Pink Panther actress told The Times. 'Of course it was a bit bizarre, but being married to an actor [Alessandro Nivola], we've all had to watch each other do strange things.' Emily said that her son did give a warning about the scene - but not how many times it would be shown throughout the episode. 'I had been warned - although Sam said that the worst bit was the first ten minutes, but they kept flashing back. So I'd relax and then it wasn't true at all.' She also shared how her son has been dealing with fame and explained, 'he just sort of owns it, which isn't thanks to either of us. 'I'm biased because I'm his mum, but he doesn't need any guidance.' During his latest conversation with Variety, Sam - who is dating actress Iris Apatow - talked about being classified as a nepo baby. While his mother is also known for her roles in projects such as The Newsroom and Shutter Island, his dad has appeared in movies including Mansfield Park (1999), Coco Before Chanel (2009), American Hustle (2013) and The Brutalist (2024). Despite his famous parents, the actor explained that his success in the industry thus far was due to his own hard work. 'Other than my genes, I don't think I can attribute much of my success to my parents. I feel proud that I've done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them,' Sam said. When it came to his first movie role - River Of Fundament (2014) - the star said he 'didn't get my dad's agent to call up so-and-so. I did it by myself. 'I didn't want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I've achieved has been because of anyone other than me. And I'm proud of that.' Sam has a number of upcoming projects up his sleeves, including the comedic film titled Driver's Ed. The premise is: 'A group of teens who steal their school's driver's ed car to go on a road trip to help a high school senior track down his college-freshman girlfriend and win her back,' per IMDB. Along with Sam, other stars that have been cast in the upcoming movie are Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani and Ella Stiller.
