“Ghostbusters” star Kristen Wiig as “The Bachelorette” is fantastic. The Canandaigua native impersonated JoJo Fletcher in a 10-minute segment on “The Tonight Show” Wednesday, improvising ridiculous claims like “JoJo is short for JoJosephina” and “I will never see a ‘Star Wars’ movie. I am against any type of war in space.” Wiig also joked about being in the fantasy suite with Ben Higgins, who rejected Fletcher on season 20 of “The Bachelor,” and promoted her upcoming movie “Ghostbusters” with a performance of “Ghost, Will You Accept This Rose?”

Steven Young, a founding member of M/A/R/R/S, has died. “One of the label’s true pioneers, Steven leaves behind an incredible legacy and will forever be in our hearts,” record label 4AD said in a statement Wednesday. “Our thoughts go to his brother Martyn, their family and his friends.” His age and cause of death were not announced. Young formed Colourbox in London with his brother and singer Lorita Grahame, but was better known as the “S” in M/A/R/R/S, a one-off collaboration with A.R. Kane members Alex Ayuli, Rudy Tambala and Russell Smith that yielded the Eric B. & Rakim-sampling 1987 hit “Pump Up the Volume.”

The voice of “Dora the Explorer” has been called a bully in a new lawsuit. Fatima Ptacek, the 15-year-old actress behind the Nickelodeon character’s catchphrases like “Swiper, no swiping,” allegedly got caught with an e-cigarette at a private school with a classmate. The other student, identified as “MS,” was expelled and Ptacek received a three-day suspension. The other child’s family is suing NYC-based Avenues: The World School to get the $40,000-a-year tuition back.

Elle King’s new music video for “Good Girls” proves the “Ghostbusters” soundtrack will have a few fun songs. “I do what the good girls don’t,” the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer says before facing off with a ghost. Other highlights on the compilation include G-Eazy’s new song with Jeremih (“Saw It Coming”) and the original “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. — but also includes Fall Out Boy’s atrocious remake of the theme with Missy Elliott.

And “America’s Got Talent” contestant John Hetlinger will perform with Drowning Pool at the Chicago Open Air Festival on Saturday, he confirmed Wednesday. “We’ll see the bodies hit the floor in the pit,” the 82-year-old grandfather joked to TMZ. Hetlinger, who performed the band’s hit song “Bodies” on the NBC competition, will also sign autographs for fans at the concert.
