"Relationsh*t" Host Kamie Crawford Thinks You Should Stop Manifesting a Rich Partner
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you need relationship advice, just ask Kamie Crawford. On her podcast, Relationshit, the 32-year-old fields questions from callers and Instagram DM-ers about dating, friendships, and family—and offers her signature BFF-style guidance in response. On this week's episode of the Marie Claire podcast "Nice Talk", Crawford gives listeners a taste of that wisdom and opens up about her career, from Miss Teen USA to TV host. One topic she doesn't hold back on? People who put 'rich' at the top of their dating wishlist. Crawford says that financial imbalances in relationships are "difficult, very difficult. This is why I tell everyone to stop manifesting a rich man, because that's not going to do anything for you." Instead, the former Catfish host encourages people to manifest something else entirely. "There are a lot of rich people who are very cheap and very close-fisted and will not buy you a damn thing—and will actually put you on an allowance. I've seen it happen. So, I tell everyone to manifest a generous partner." And generosity, she adds, isn't just about money. "Generosity is like—who is this person when I'm six months pregnant and I want an Oreo McFlurry? He's going to go out there and source it for me,' Crawford says. 'He's going to drive 45 minutes, if that's where the next McDonald's is, and he's gonna go get it for me. … Generosity is: I'm folding my laundry, but I'm gonna fold yours too, because it's right here." Of course, generosity can also mean material gifts (beyond McFlurrys). But Crawford warns that if you're only focused on a partner's income, you might not end up with the kind of thoughtfulness you actually want. "Sometimes they're getting you gifts that they like for you. Doesn't mean it's something you actually want,' she says. 'Doesn't mean they're actually paying attention to what you like." While Crawford doesn't believe in manifesting a rich partner, she does think it's fair to look for someone financially responsible. "I've also dated people who were frivolous with money that they maybe didn't have, and you don't want that either," she says. "You also don't want the person who's been working on their business plan for the past 30 years and hasn't made it happen." Crawford learned a lot about relationships during her six years as the co-host of the MTV docuseries Catfish, and from countless conversations with her five sisters and close friends. She sees Relationshit as a natural extension of those chats. "I love to yap. I'm a yapper by nature," the Ex on the Beach presenter says. "I love to talk about these things, and I'm not here pretending like I'm some expert in every single facet of relationships. I didn't study it in school. This is not something that I have a degree in. But the messages that I get from people—all kinds of different people from all different walks of life—saying that listening to you has made me realize my worth, has made me leave that bad relationship, has made me leave that toxic job. I couldn't have imagined that I would have that impact on someone." For more from Crawford—including her advice on making friends as an adult and what competing in pageants is really like—check out this week's installment of "Nice Talk".

We Tried Every McDonald's Dessert, And This Classic Treat Reigns Supreme
Is it hyperbolic to claim that nearly every American has their own personal favorite McDonald's item? Perhaps, but given that McDonald's is the biggest fast food chain in the country and the second largest in the world, with over 41,000 worldwide locations, its menu is well-known and highly debated by millions. Many customers swear by one of McDonald's signature burgers or its beloved french fries, but there are also those who visit the chain primarily for a sweet treat — or would at least feel wrong leaving without one. McDonald's has a robust enough dessert menu, filled with iconic creations like its apple pies, McFlurries, and soft serve ice cream, that even within the category, you're likely to find dissenting favorites. That's why Chowhound taste-tested and ranked every McDonald's dessert to determine, once and for all, which one takes the proverbial cake (ironically, there was no cake on the list). Even the "worst" dessert on the list had its merits, but the winner was an above-and-beyond standout. The honor was awarded to McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundae, a nostalgic classic that provides the perfect sensory experience while triggering happy childhood memories in every bite. Other contestants, like the Vanilla Cone and the Oreo McFlurry, put up a valiant fight, but when it comes to taste, texture, and ingredient quality, nothing beats the Hot Fudge Sundae. Read more: The Biggest Mistakes Everyone Makes When Cooking Burgers When McDonald's debuted its sundaes — featuring either hot fudge, caramel, or strawberry syrup — in 1978, it put out commercials featuring a catchy "Sundae Smiles" jingle and the overjoyed faces of McDonald's customers, young and old, enjoying their ice cream. Though the sundaes have since become a menu staple that no longer require much advertising, eating a McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundae in particular still puts an undeniable smile on our faces. The joy of this treat lies in its simplicity and the delicious contrast between cold vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate fudge. Some sundaes come loaded with toppings, like nuts, fruits, and whipped cream, and while those can be a fun indulgence, there's something comforting about the simple combination of a Hot Fudge Sundae, which really allows the flavors and textures to shine. Unfortunately, despite their deliciousness, McDonald's ice cream treats have a notorious reputation for being unavailable due to broken machines. If that's the case at your local McDonald's location, you might have a hard time getting your hands on a Hot Fudge Sundae. Thanks to a 2024 ruling, however, McDonald's franchises should have an easier time getting their soft serve machines fixed, which means more sundaes in our future. That's something worth smiling about! Read the original article on Chowhound.

British rapper Stormzy criticized for McDonald's collaboration
LONDON: British rapper Stormzy has come under fire for collaborating with McDonald's, which has repeatedly been accused of supporting Israel since the start of the war in Gaza. He launched the limited edition 'Stormzy Meal' on Wednesday in the UK. In an advert, actors speaking in his voice order the new offering, consisting of nine chicken nuggets, fries, BBQ sauce, a Sprite drink and an Oreo McFlurry dessert. McDonald's has faced boycotts worldwide and been subjected to protests after it emerged that its Israel franchises gave thousands of free meals to members of the Israeli military and their relatives after the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023. At the time, CEO Chris Kempczinski condemned the boycotts as 'disheartening and ill-founded,' saying they had harmed McDonald's profits across the Middle East and elsewhere. Franchise owners in Kuwait, Malaysia and Pakistan issued statements distancing themselves from the decision to hand out the free meals. Stormzy previously published then deleted an Instagram post in support of the Palestinian cause. He initially posted: '1. Free Palestine. 2. In the future, if there is ever a clear injustice in the world no matter how big or small, 100 times out of 100 I will always be on the side of the oppressed. Unequivocally. As I always have been.' Fans responded to his McDonald's collaboration critically, with one posting on social media that Stormzy is a 'sellout,' and another asking: 'Why delete your pro-Palestine posts?!' McDonald's said in 2023 that it was not responsible for the actions or promotions of individual franchises worldwide. Kempczinski posted on LinkedIn in January 2024: 'In every country where we operate, including in Muslim countries, McDonald's is proudly represented by local owner-operators who work tirelessly to serve and support their communities while employing thousands of their fellow citizens.' He added: 'Our hearts remain with the communities and families impacted by the war in the Middle East. We abhor violence of any kind and firmly stand against hate speech, and we will always proudly open our doors to everyone.'
