The Russian diva indulges a midnight binge-eating urge in Budapest on her social media.

    It sounds like a commercial for the food chain, not music news.

  • Ich bin Ereignis says:

    Stars… they’re just like us!

  • Carl says:

    Double Mac? She probably means a Big Mac. Or a double quarter pounder with cheese? Then again, Hungary’s fast food delights may be labeled differently.

  • Mark says:

    This message is directed to all Russians living under sanctions.

    They cannot have a BigMac, but Anna can… and she seems to enjoy it.

    • Tiredofitall says:

      She thinks they eat cake.

      • Ed says:

        I think you’re reading too much into it. All the old Macdonalds in Russia have been bought up by a local chain which does the same food, only in my opinion better. It’s funny you think Russians can’t live without your rubbish western brands.

        • John Kelly says:

          You mean like BMW and Mercedes?

          • Ed says:

            Funny you should mention cars – ironically, since our Ukrainian friends blew up Nordstream, German automakers have been closing their factories due to rising energy costs, laying off thousands of workers and moving their production to Asia. So I think it’s more that BMW and Mercedes can’t live without Russia.

      Why Russians again? Ffs

  • Yura Garbitsch says:

    Would have been even better if Donald Trump served it to her. McDeez: nuts as it is, it certainly keeps your vibrato grounded.

  • Mystic Chord says:

    That’s an image I really didn’t need to see!

  • V.Lind says:

    I fail to see this incident, which only social media slaves could find interesting, but which millions indulge in daily, as “binge eating.” That is a serious eating disorder. All we have here is a slightly overweight opera singer snacking on pseud-food that offends anyone with a palate.

  • Ernest says:

    She misses the Big Apple. She has to do with a Big Mac for now …

  • Barney says:

    Only a matter of time before she’s playing Clorinda, in La Cenerentola.

  • Tim says:

    That’s not a Big Mac. Just sayin’. Maybe she’s missing McDonald’s in Russia, as they’ve all closed there.
