I'm so sad that I can't make it to your graduation party. ... I'm so proud of you, your hard work and dedication, your excitement and ambition. I'm very lucky that a girl like you cares about me." The advertising and public relations graduate will never forget the superstar's generosity.

Why Jackie Chan Considers "Rush Hour 3" the Weakest Link in the Trilogy

New Line/Kobal/Shutterstock Jackie Chan told BuzzFeed in a video interview that he believes 2007'sRush Hour 3was the victim of "too much money, too much time," when he was asked to rank the series' three films "Too much money is no good," the action movie legend said Chan's new movieKarate Kid: Legendsis in theaters May 30 Jackie Chanhas his take on whyRush Hour 3wasn't liked by film critics. While Chan, 71, took part in aBuzzFeedvideo interview to promote his new movieKarate Kid: Legendson Wednesday, May 28, the actor was asked to rank his favorite films in theRush Hourbuddy cop trilogy, which he costars in withChris Tucker. While Chan initially said he was not sure he could rank the films, he quickly offered a reason for why each entry performed the way it did. "I don't know. You know what, the first one: little money, little time," Chan said of the original 1998 movie. "We shot it like, 'Go, go, go, go!' The second one: a lot of money, a lot of time. The third one: too much money, too much time." Chan and Tucker's originalRush Hourwas one of themost popular movies of 1998and holds positive reviews from audience members and critics alike on websites likeRotten Tomatoes. Its two sequels, however, are considerably less well-loved;Rush Hour 3received favorable reviews from only 17 percent of film critics on Rotten Tomatoes. "Too much money is no good," Chan added of the making of the movie. New Line/Kobal/Shutterstock The originalRush Hourfollows Tucker as Los Angeles detective James Carter, who is forced to team up with a decorated Hong Kong-based detective named Lee (Chan) who flies to the U.S. to help find his friend's missing daughter. InRush Hour 3, the pair travel to Paris to investigate organized crime in the city.

The action movie legend most recently said he was "talking about part 4" with the franchise's director during a December 2022 appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, though he never clarified who was slated to direct the film, asDeadlinereported at the time. Chan previously denied that he would be involved withRush Hour4 in April 2019, when his managementreleased a statement on his official websitecalling rumors about the movie at the time "false information."

Kylie Kelce Shares the 1 Thing She Does with Newborn Baby Finnley That's 'Not a Good Idea'New Foto - Kylie Kelce Shares the 1 Thing She Does with Newborn Baby Finnley That's 'Not a Good Idea'

Kylie Kelce/Instagram; Nathan Congleton/NBC via Getty Kylie Kelce returned to herNot Gonna Liepodcast on May 29 following several weeks on maternity leave after welcoming her fourth baby The mother of four said she has a habit of looking back at old photos and videos of her kids to compare them to baby Finnley's milestones She also shared her three elder daughters' response to their new sister Kylie Kelceis back from her maternity leave, and — true to form — is keeping it real. The 33-year-old mother of four returned to herNot Gonna Liepodcast on Thursday, May 29, where she got candid about her first few weeks with hernewborn daughter Finnley. "First of all, I just want to get ahead of something — maternity leave is not a break or vacation," she said. "That is a crazy concept. Do you think I was just kicking up my feet and laying out by the pool and chilling? You'd be wrong. I birthed a child who prefers contact naps. That's right, I got another Wyatt sleeper." Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce/Instagram Kylie, who shares daughtersWyatt, 5,Elliotte, 4,Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 8 weeks, with her husbandJason Kelce, added that she spends "three to five hours of the day" carrying Finnley wrapped against her body. The Philadelphia native also urged other mothers not to follow her example, sharing the one thing she does that she wouldn't recommend. "It's almost as bad as Googling on your fourth kid when you start scrolling back in your camera roll to see what your other children were doing at this age," Kylie said. "It's a bad idea. It's not a good idea. And I would like to stop doing it, but I can't." Kylie Kelce/Instagram Kylie also admitted to "still Googling things" and insisted that she doesn't have "any advice for parents." "I actually still have no idea what I'm doing," Kylie added. "If I had to describe the change going from three kids to four kids in two words or less, 'holy s---,' it's not terrible. Let's go with 'not terrible.' That sounds better." However, the mom of four said she's doing her best to "soak in all of the" sweet newborn moments with Finnley "like her cute little coos and noises."

Kylie Kelce/Instagram As for Finnley's siblings, Kylie said that two of her three other daughters have been on board with helping. "Wyatt and Ellie have been super helpful. They will go and get me diapers," she said of her eldest children. "They wanna talk to her. She very much locks in on their faces and is distracted from an upset moment by their voices and by how close they get, which is, I mean, one of the cutest things you've ever seen in your whole life."

But, predictably, Bennett or "Benny" as she is affectionately called, isn't wild about being dethroned as the family's youngest. "Benny is the only one who's not interested in what she's doing and likes to pretend like she's not there," Kylie shared of her third child. "I put Finn down on the floor to change her diaper. And for some reason, Benny stood up and ran straight at me full speed, and I had to put my hand out. Of course, I was ready for it. We've done this a couple times now."
