The first images of Jared Leto as the Joker in Zack Snyder’s Justice League have been revealed.

Leto’s Joker appears more like a classic interpretation of the character than the version seen in Suicide Squad. The black and white images were posted to Vanity Fair and Twitter by the movie’s official account, show a Joker with heavy white makeup, smudged eyes and lips, and greasy, long hair. The big difference is that there’s not a single tattoo in sight.

Mary Wilson, a founding member of The Supremes, has died at age 76. Wilson died at her home in Las Vegas on Monday evening, her publicist Jay Schwartz confirmed to multiple outlets. Wilson’s cause of death was not immediately clear but Schwartz said in a statement that she “passed away suddenly.” According to Schwartz, funeral services for Wilson will be private due to restrictions and protocols amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but there will be a public memorial later this year. 

Born on March 6, 1944, in Greenville, Mississipp and began her career in Detroit in 1959, singing for The Primettes, who would later go on to become The Supremes. Alongside Diana Ross and Florence Ballard — who was later replaced by Cindy Birdsong — Wilson appeared on each of The Supremes’ 12 No. 1 pop hits from 1964 to 1969. Just a few days before her death, Wilson shared a video on her YouTube channel announcing that she was planning to release new solo material. 

Wilson is survived by her sister Kathryn, brother Roosevelt, daughter Turkessa, son Pedro Antonio Jr., adopted son Willie, 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that friends and fans support UNCF.org and the Humpty Dumpty Institute.

Christina Milian has joined the Starz series Step Up as Collette, a role originated by the late Naya Rivera. Rivera starred as Collette in the first two seasons of the series, which aired on YouTube before moving to Starz. Rivera died at the age of 33 in July from accidental drowning while boating with her 5-year-old son Josey.

Milian said in a statement: “I am so excited to join the Step Up family. I know I have massive shoes to fill. Naya was incredible. I hope to honor Naya, her family, friends and fans with a great performance.”  Series star Ne-Yo also said in a statement, “There is no replacing Naya. Let’s get that straight. Her spirit lives on in our memories and every part what this show is and will be. Christina has big shoes to fill and she knows it, which speaks to her poise and respect as a person and an artist. I’m more than certain of her ability to bring an energy and light to this character that Naya’s fans as well as the rest of the world will love. We’ve welcomed Christina with absolute open arms and have rallied around her with love and support. I’m excited and can’t wait for the world to see this!” 

Production on the new season of Step Up started in February in Atlanta. The first two seasons of Step Up will be available on Starz across all platforms and will begin airing on the network every Friday at 8 p.m. EST starting on March 5.
