Weekend box office news… James Gunn was rehired… Paris Jackson update… Mama June arrested… and Lori Loughlin, Felicity Huffman & college admissions scandal

No surprise that “Captain Marvel” was still number one at the box office, earning another $69.3 million in its second weekend. Coming in second was “Wonder Park” with $16 million, which was a huge blow for the movie studio because they pumped $100 million to produce that movie BEFORE the marketing campaign. In third place was the new “Five Feet Apart” with $13.2 million.

When some of James Gunn’s old, offensive tweets resurfaced last year, Disney dropped him as the director of the third “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie.

And now Disney has re-hired James to direct “Guardians of the Galaxy 3.” He just has to finish directing “Suicide Squad 2” first. James went back on Twitter to thank everybody who supported him through this difficult time. He added, “I am always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be.”

To this story, Paris tweeted, “(BLANK) you, you (BLANKING) liars.” Now another source told People that Paris did have an accident that required medical treatment, but that she was home and doing fine. And Saturday evening, Paris went out on a date with her boyfriend. In case you were wondering, they went to a movie and then grabbed some KFC.
