Netflix; Priah Ferguson/Instagram Stranger Thingsstar Priah Ferguson celebrated her high school graduation with a sentimental Instagram post The actress opened up about balancing her career and her studies, saying it has helped "shape me into a well-rounded young woman" Ferguson plays Erica Sinclair onStranger Things, which returns for its fifth and final season later in 2025. Stranger Thingsstar Priah Ferguson is a high school graduate! The 18-year-old actress, who plays Erica Sinclair on the Netflix series, took toInstagramon Sunday, May 25, to celebrate the major life milestone and shared a sentimental message in the caption. "I did it!!!🎓" she began. "Most people are always surprised when they find out I've been in public school my whole life. The role that introduced me to the world was filmed right in my hometown—and I made a choice early on not to miss out on real world experiences just because of my career." Ferguson reflected on "balancing an adult career — on and off screen — while maintaining a GPA above the national average and still growing up," calling it "a unique journey." "As much as I've pushed myself to be great in my craft, I've also prioritized living a life that's real — one that's helped shape me into a well-rounded young woman," she continued. "So very grateful for my village of family, friends, educators, and every moment that's brought me here." The young actress concluded the post with a message to her fellow graduates, writing, "Class of 2025 — no matter your story, you made it!" Ferguson's post included a selfie video of her wearing her cap and gown in the car, her yearbook photo and a look inside her graduation ceremony — from her making a speech as the vice president of her senior class to the moment she received her diploma. "Although life has a way to often break us down, we must rise up to the realities of our destiny," she said in her speech.

Christopher McQuarrie Says the Plot of 'Top Gun 3' Is 'Already In the Bag': 'It Wasn't Hard'New Foto - Christopher McQuarrie Says the Plot of 'Top Gun 3' Is 'Already In the Bag': 'It Wasn't Hard'

"Top Gun 3" may be closer to release than you think. In a recent conversation on Josh Horowitz's "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, Christopher McQuarrie, who co-wrote and produced "Top Gun: Maverick," said he already has the story nailed down for "Top Gun 3." More from Variety 'Mission: Impossible' Director Christopher McQuarrie Says Tom Cruise Is 'Very Serious' About Making a Les Grossman Movie: 'It Ultimately Comes Down to What That Character Is' Inside TikTok's Cannes Film Festival Takeover, From One-on-One Time With Tom Cruise to Reece Feldman's Short Film Premiere 'Mission: Impossible' Star Hayley Atwell Says She Was 'Eight and a Half Months Pregnant' During 'Final Reckoning' Fight Sequence: 'I'm Serious' When asked if "Top Gun 3" was "harder to crack" than "Top Gun: Maverick," McQuarrie said, "No, it's already in the bag." "It wasn't hard," McQuarrie said. "I thought it would be, and that's a good place to go from as you walk into the room going, 'Come on, what are we going to do?' And Ehren Kruger pitched something and I went, 'Mhm actually,' and we had one conversation about it and the framework is there. So, no, it's not hard to crack. The truth of the matter is, none of these are hard to crack." "It's as you start to execute it, and as you start to interrogate it, as you start [to think] why these movies are made the way they are," he added. "It's not the action, it's not even the level of or intensity of or the scope and scale of the action [or] the engineering around the action, it's none of those things — it's the emotion." This isn't the first time the "Top Gun" threequel has been teased by franchise talent. Earlier in May, Tom Cruise said he isactively working onnot only "Top Gun 3," but also a sequel to his 1990 racing thriller "Days of Thunder." "Yeah, we're thinking and talking about many different stories and what could we do and what's possible," Cruise said. "It took me 35 years to figure out 'Top Gun: Maverick', so all of these things we're working on, we're discussing 'Days of Thunder' and 'Top Gun: Maverick.'

In January 2023, theJonas Brotherswere honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Willa and Delphine were not present for the special event. Despite their absence, Jonas gave them a shout-out during his acceptance speech. "To my little ones at home,Daddy loves you to the moon and back," he said. Later that year, Jonasfiled for divorcein September 2023 afterfour years of marriage. That same month,Turner sued Jonas and requested her children be returned to England. In the lawsuit, the actress called for "the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained." In October 2023, Jonas and Turner determined atemporary custody agreement, which allowed their daughters to split equal time between England and the United States. A few months later, in January 2024,Turner dropped the "wrongful retention" claimsagainst Jonas, and a judge approved to dismiss the filing after their parenting agreement had been approved in the U.K. A source told PEOPLE a few days later that after a back-and-forth battle over custody of their daughters,the exes are peacefully co-parenting. "They turned things around from the initial messy custody battle," the source said. "They are friendly and great co-parents now."

For the reception, the Disney Channel alum changed into another Vivienne Westwood look — an ivory silk satin column dress with broken pearls cascading from a draped corset top.
