Things We Saw Today: Idina Menzel Would Love It If Elsa Got a Girlfriend

The voice of Elsa herself has spoken! You may have heard about the #GiveElsaAGirlfriend social media campaign, where Disney fans want the studio behind Frozen to give Princess Elsa a female love interest in Frozen 2. Well, Idina Menzel is all about it if Disney decides to go that route. “Love is an Open Door.” Here’s hoping Disney will start to allow a greater variety of loves to walk through it.

• Gillian Anderson did her very first “Answer Time” on her day off from the Young Vic’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn. Fans asked her insightful questions like, “Scully, Stella and Blanche go out together. Who’s winning the drinking game? And what kind of drunks are they?” Her answer? “Blanche!! In one word, she’s a hilarious drunk. Scully’s a conservative drunk. And Stella’s a dangerous drunk.” Check out the rest over at her Tumblr, Chewie’s Girlfriend.
• John Cho is totally supportive of the #StarringJohnCho campaign, in a really classy way. (via Vulture)

Get ready for the return of the iBot, the revolutionary motorized wheelchair in the video above. They’re now partnered with Toyota, which will hopefully bring down the original starting price of $25,000 that made it cost-prohibitive to many of the people who need it most. (via The Verge)

That’s what we’ve seen today! What about you? What’s good out there?
