Of course, you could get your soon-to-be graduate something specific that they'll need for the next part of their lives, but let's be honest — they were going to get that regardless.

But it's even better for the student leaving high school or college. A graduation plushie will act as a sweet and cheerful reminder of all their hard work, and goes beyond just the piece of paper that their diploma or degree is printed on. And to prove it to you, I found seven of the cutest graduation plushies from Squishmallows, POP Mart, and more that any graduate in your life will appreciate.

Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson drama revealed in new emails
Emails obtained by WRAL show Bill Belichick addressing the controversy over his romantic and professional relationship with Jordon Hudson. The relationship between the legendary coach and the 24-year-old model has drawn national scrutiny after a controversial "CBS Sunday Morning" interview. Hudson declared, "We're not talking about that" when Belichick was asked about how the couple met. Belichick claimed in one email that CBS "secretly" had a camera focused on Hudson despite the model requesting to sit off camera. "Secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe instructed her to sit," Belichick reportedly wrote. Belichick elaborated on why the question of how they met was not answered. "I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters," the email said. Belichick also addressed why Hudson was present at the interview to begin with. He believed the interview would be focused on his book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football." "Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there," Belichick wrote, referring to the publisher of his book. "I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book." In another email, Belichick addressed reports that he requested to have Hudson copied on every email sent to him. "Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship," Belchick wrote in the email. "This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it." Belichick released a statement saying he was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she was doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips." CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichick's version of events. In a separate interview with ESPN, Belichick insisted Hudson is not involved with UNC football. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Seth Rogen Explains Why His ‘Gigli' Audition Tape Would 'End My Career' If It Leaked
More than 20 years after the movie that launched Bennifer, Seth Rogen recently recalled his audition for 2003's Gigli. The 3x Golden Globe nominee explained that he was 'an aspiring young actor' when he auditioned for the role of mentally challenged hostage Brian, who was ultimately portrayed by Justin Bartha in the Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy crime flick. More from Deadline Seth Rogen Scrapped 'The Studio' Episode After Celeb Cameo Fell Through Seth Rogen's Joke About Donald Trump At Breakthrough Prize Cut Out Of Awards Show Following Livestream 'The Studio's Seth Rogen And Co-Creator Evan Goldberg On The "Miracle" Of Casting Scorsese And What Ron Howard Said About His Role 'It has been a long time,' he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live of the last time he auditioned. 'And thank god it was mostly physical VHS tapes and stuff like that that was being used when I was auditioning for things, because the things I auditioned for, in retrospect, if they were out there in the world, they would end my career very, very fast, I believe.' Rogen recalled Gigli as an example. 'I auditioned for this boy with a cognitive disability. And I don't think the script was written in what, by today's standards, would be the most sensitive portrayal of a boy with a cognitive disability,' he noted. Explaining that he was eager to work with the film's 'great director' Martin Brest, Rogen said, 'I wanted to leave an impression.' 'I don't think I wore a helmet in to the audition itself, but it was at play,' he said with a laugh. 'And I'm tempted to do an impression of what I did, but I can't even do it. I can't. That's how bad it was. It's so bad. I dare not even portray what I did in this audition. Because I went for it. I saw myself at the Oscars.' Rogen added, 'Truthfully, if that tape was out [in] the world today, this would be the last interview you ever saw me do. Other than, like, my apology tour. Please, if you have it, burn it. Please sell it to me. I will buy it.' The Studio star definitely dodged a bullet, as the movie barely surpassed $7 million globally, currently holding a 6% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's Daughter Speaks Out About Dad's Alleged Affairs in Rare Interview
Lucie Arnaz shed new light on the moment she learned of her parents Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's divorce in a new interview Ball's friends previously mentioned Arnaz's infidelity in a 1991 PEOPLE cover story Desi died in 1986, while Ball died in 1989Lucie Arnaz got candid about her parents Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's early Hollywood marriage in rare comments made in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, which aired Sunday, June 15. Lucie, 73, said, "People say he had affairs. He never had an affair. He didn't even know these dames' names. They were hookers." CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Mo Rocca chimed in, asking, "They were transactional?" Lucie responded, "Yeah. He loved my mother, he loved his family. It was a very unique, weird problem to have. And I think that's the reason she stayed with him so long, is that she understood it. I don't think I could do what she did." She continued, "But somehow, at the time, with what they had, with what they needed from each other, they stuck it out as long as they could." Lucille and Desi ended their marriage and subsequently their hit television show, I Love Lucy, in 1960. Lucie was 8 years old at the time, and her younger brother Desi Jr. was 7. Lucie then recounted the moment she and her brother learned of their parents' separation. "We were at their house in Palm Springs, and they said that, 'We love each other, but being husband and wife part is broken, and we can't live together anymore.' " The actress recalled her younger brother's reaction to the news. "I remember that my brother said, 'But if it's broken, can't you just fix it? Can't you put stuff on it and fix it?' " "And they said, 'I don't think so.' The truth of it is, Mo, they were happier after they got divorced. The screaming and the arguing and all that stuff stopped," Lucie admitted. She then revealed that as a child, she felt the need to protect her famous father's image. "I was very protective of my dad, believe it or not. I felt really sorry for my dad. I felt like he was the one that got ousted." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In a 1991 PEOPLE cover story on the late couple, the late Ball's friend Lillian Briggs Winograd recalled spending time with Ball when Arnaz died in 1986 at 69. She appeared to echo Lucie's recent comments, and that in spite of Arnaz's infidelity, Ball still felt love for him years after their divorce. "At the end, we drove down to Del Mar, where she went to see Desi a few days before he died [of lung cancer on Dec. 2, 1986]. She was very, very shook-up. She left that place and broke down and said, 'That was the one love…' " Ball died three years later in 1989. She was 77. Bob Weiskopf, a longtime writer for the couple, told PEOPLE in 1991, "Basically, Desi's attitude was, 'What the hell's the matter? I love her. When I go out with women, they're usually hookers. Those don't count.' " Read the original article on People
