Things We Saw Today: Leslie Jones Is Back On Twitter

After much Twitter turmoil and three days of silence, Ghostbusters‘ Leslie Jones has returned to the social media platform with the above tweet. We knew she couldn’t stay away, and we’re glad she’s back! (via The Hollywood Reporter)

• While many loved Jones’ character of Patty in the new Ghostbusters film, other fans see the character as a negative racist trope. Check out this piece by Tanya D at Polygon about what she believes the movie got wrong.
• The Divergent finale may be coming to television instead of movie theaters, as may a spin-off television series. (via Spinoff Online)
• Ever wonder how the Lucasfilm Story Group operates to make sure Star Wars universe is aligned across all media? They got into it at the Rogue One panel at last week’s Star Wars Celebration. (via The Daily Dot)
• Check out this amazing profile on Stan Lee over at The Hollywood Reporter, wherein he talks about his recent crop of superheroes, his career successes, and his career regrets.

These Carpool Karaoke segments on The Late, Late Show with James Corden just get better and better every time. Most recently, Michelle Obama gave Corden a tour of the White House grounds, and they were “making honey to put on our lemonade!” Missy Elliot joined in for the best rendition of “Get Your Freak On” ever as they promoted Obama’s girls’ education initiative. It was magical! (via The Daily Dot)
