It was all food, folks and fun for the second weekend in a row at the fifth annual Coachella bash thrown by Sunset Boulevard hotspot Bootsy Bellows and McDonald’s.
Every year Coachella brings out the hottest names in Hollywood and this year is no different. It’s not easy juggling full days on the festival grounds and the countless mansion parties that take place all day and night, but there are some happenings that simply can’t be missed.
The McDonald’s All Day Breakfast party at the Bootsy Bellows Estate is that party. Imagine a massive Palm Springs residence transformed into a giant McDonald’s. With fresh, hot fries, a variety of smoothie flavors and breakfast items served up on platters at every turn, we were constantly reminded that Mickey D’s now serves breakfast all damn day. Other highlights were the huge ball pit, which seemed to be a Kellen Lutz favorite, a karaoke booth, a pair of gigantic golden arches and exciting DJ sets and performances by Mia Moretti, Devin Lucien, Moxie Raia, Jimi Tents, Post Malone and Belly.
Celeb attendees included Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Karrueche Tran, Aaron Paul, The Weeknd, Bella Hadid, Cody Simpson, Michael B Jordan, Brody Jenner, Jesse Metcalf, Derek Hough, Ashley Greene, Hailey Baldwin, Amber Valetta, Tyler Blackburn, Amber Rose and many more.

Over the weekend, Isaiah Mustafa (Old Spice Guy, “Shadowhunters”) helped kick-off Old Spice’s year-long partnership with Tough Mudder, along with thousands of athletes taking on its grueling 10+ mile obstacle course, at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino (with 30+ more events to come across the U.S.) As the official Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant and Body Wash of Tough Mudder, Mustafa was on hand to show participants that there’s no better proving ground for the new Hardest Working Collection, Old Spice’s most powerful product line-up that takes performance to legendary extremes, giving advice and high fives to participants from the Start to Finish Line, with a pit stop at Old Spice’s Mud Mile 2.0 and Pop & Lock obstacles.
The Obstacles
- Mud Mile 2.0 – Lend a hand, take a hand; pay it forward, give it back – this obstacle is all about going the extra mile. With waist-deep mud pits and slippery mounds to mount, Mud Mile is a classic Mudder fan favorite.
- Pop & Lock – Found in the Mudder Village, both participants and attendees can test their strength against the ultimate escalating pull-up bar. Achieve legendary status by using a movable pull-up bar to ascend over the structure, one bar at a time.
