Kevin Hart to Nick Cannon -

Nick Cannon shared a photo of himself next to one of the funniest and most appropriate gifts for a man who had just announced that his eighth baby was on the way: a vending machine full of condoms. "Looks like somebody just sent me an early Valentine’s Day gift!! Vending Machine full of Magnums," he wrote on February 7. The talk show host had recently shared that his therapist advised him to become celibate after the news of his eighth child, but that he had only started his celibacy journey after welcoming four children with three different women in under a year. It turned out that his good friend Kevin Hart had sent him the machine as a joke. Cannon has had even more babies since then with more on the way, so it looks like he hasn't been making use of his gift.

Joe Biden to Olivia Rodrigo -

Olivia Rodrigo was invited to the White House by President Joe Biden during the summer of 2021. The singer was enlisted to help the government initiative to encourage young people to get vaccinated against covid-19. At the end of her visit, Biden gave her a gift bag to thank her for her help. She revealed that the bag contained M&Ms, aviator sunglasses, and a shoehorn with the presidential logo on it. Both Rodrigo and Biden are known to wear aviators and got a picture side by side wearing the sunglasses, but she was surprised by the shoehorn! She told the story on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and he joked that “if you ever thought Joe Biden was too old to be president, now we know he is."

James Corden to Adele -

In an interview with Vogue, Adele revealed that her most disgusting, yet most prized possession, was given to her by James Corden. She told the interviewer that 'The Late Late Show' host had done his famous Carpool Karaoke with Adele's idol, Celine Dion. "He did it with [Dion] and knew how much of a fan of her I was. So he made her spit her gum into a piece of paper and he framed it for me. It’s my proudest possession.” She even took out the framed morsel to show it off.
