Beauty And The Beast Sets MAJOR Box Office Records In Massive Opening Weekend!

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 02:59 PM PDT

WOW!!!

We knew a few days ago that Beauty and the Beast might be a big deal this opening weekend, but THIS big?! This overshot a lot of people's expectations and it's turned out to be a HUGE opener for the wonderful remake!!

According to the box office numbers coming in now on Sunday afternoon, Beauty and the Beast opened to an incredible $170 million in North America, taken in from 4,210 theaters across the box office!

Add in another $180 million abroad, and that total -- an incredible global sum of $350 million -- is HUGE!!!

But how huge?!

Well, how about biggest start ever for a PG title in both North America and abroad huge!!!!

That's right -- last year's Finding Dory was massive domestically ($135 million) as the previous champ, and yet Beauty and the Beast blew it out of the water.

And last year's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was massive, too, at $166 million, but Beauty and the Beast ran right past it this year to bring home the March box office opening weekend record, too!

Again... WOW!!!

As of right now, the family-friendly movie is the seventh-biggest domestic opening for any film ever, although some studios are even putting their total domestic numbers as high as $174 million -- which could up it in the list.

We'll know the final, official numbers on Monday.

Internationally, Beauty and the Beast was number one pretty much everywhere, including taking in $22.8 million in the U.K. alone, and another $44.8 million in China!

Dave Hollis, the Disney distribution chief, relayed his thoughts on what made this flick SO spectacular on this weekend:

"There were a combination of factors that made this a recipes for success. There was a nostalgia for the original and the Disney brand. And Emma Watson was perfectly cast as Belle. The visual effects were also their own character. And I love our date. We have five weeks of rolling spring break ahead of us."

No kidding to ALL of the above -- and a very shrewd look at that last part. We'll see for how many weeks it can maintain a top spot!!

Scott Disick Took His Kids To A Paid Appearance In Las Vegas…

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 01:36 PM PDT

Father of the year?!

Uh...

Scott Disick took his seven-year-old son Mason and four-year-old daughter Penelope to a paid appearance in Vegas on Saturday -- the opening of the Sugar Factory restaurant and candy store.

Oh!!!

The father of three -- it wasn't clear whether Reign had made the trip to Vegas, but the boy didn't show up at the public appearance, at least -- had the fun outing with his eldest son and daughter at the red carpet grand opening surrounded by security guards.

In fact, an eyewitness told E! News that there were far more security guards around than is normal for Scott, which is probably a smart move considering the kids!

The family also brought a personal photographer that apparently took pics of the kids and their dad spending some nice quality time together.

Bottom line: considering Scott is usually at 1OAK when he does these paid Vegas appearances, well, at least this one went a little more smoothly, right?! And at least he didn't take the kids to a night club?!

Yeah...

LOLz!!

Kim Kardashian Speaks About Paris Robbery Being Shown On KUWTK: 'Tonight's Episode Is Going To Be Very Tough For Me'

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 12:21 PM PDT

It's finally time for the world to see the aftermath of Kim Kardashian West's robbery ordeal last year in Paris, and the reality TV icon is readying herself for what should be a very difficult episode of television.

Reaching out to her fans on Twitter not even an hour ago, Kardashian shared a series of messages describing just what she expects to see tonight on a new ep of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The business mogul and TV star tweeted, in order (below):

Wow!

Knowing that the Kardashians have been having some trouble with their TV ratings of late, is this just a small ploy to get people to tune into a big episode?!

Or is that too cynical of a way to look at what Kim has gone through after her robbery last year??

Third White House Scare In A Week: Man Drives Up To Security Checkpoint Claiming He Has A Bomb In The Car

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 09:49 AM PDT

It's crazy that this shit keeps happening!!!

A man drove up to the White House late last night claiming he had a bomb in his car, getting himself immediately arrested and making it the third time in the last eight days that somebody has tried to get onto White House grounds with not the best of intentions...

Related: Get More Donald Trump News HERE

With this guy, the Secret Service immediately not only took him into custody, but also placed the entire building on high alert -- something they've gotten good at doing as of late with all the intrusion threats in different places.

Fortunately, President Donald Trump was not home at the time (he's down in Florida this weekend), and it doesn't appear that Saturday night's intruder was able to harm anyone in any way before his arrest.

No word yet on whether the guy *actually* had a bomb, but at least everything's been taken care of in short order by the Secret Service.

Scary stuff!

Scott Disick On Rob Kardashian: 'Rob Is A Really Positive Person'

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 08:56 AM PDT

He may have just turned 30, and he may be in the middle of a custody battle with his baby momma Blac Chyna, but at least according to one member of the Kardashian universe, Rob Kardashian is in good spirits and excited for the future.

As you'll remember, yesterday we covered Rob's 30th birthday party and the fallout from having BC there, but not really interacting any more than to be civil around their daughter, Dream Kardashian.

And, well, today Rob's close friend and Kardashian konfidant Scott Disick (pictured with Rob in a vintage throwback BFF pic!) says things are all good!

Related: Dream Is The CUTEST Leprechaun!

Speaking to People after the party, Disick described Rob's mood and outlook despite what might be some challenging circumstances ahead with Chyna:

"Rob really is a positive person, so no matter where he's at, he always sounds pretty good, so I think he's doing good. He's my neighbor, we live down the street so I see him a ton, and he seems to be doing good — new dad, he's excited, he loves his daughter to death, so it can't be that bad."

That's true!

Disick, as he typically does, didn't just speak about Rob, though.

The father of three had a lot to say about how he's being edited on the show, interestingly enough.

Related: We SEE You, Blac Chyna!

Look here:

"The one thing that's always tough about this show is you film things and they come out months later and then people speak to you as if it's live. It is confusing and it's tough because people really take it seriously. They really believe that they were there with you the day before. It's a little frightening sometimes, but, honestly I don't really watch the show just because I don't want to relive things good or bad."

Hmmm... there's sure been plenty of bad!

What do U think, Perezcious readers?! Does Disick have a point about the show itself and how people see his time on camera?!

And are you counting on Rob to stay positive through what might be a tough custody dispute??

RHONJ Star Kim DePaola's Car Is At The Center Of A Double Murder Investigation In New Jersey

Posted: 19 Mar 2017 08:09 AM PDT

This is pretty scary stuff.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey star Kim DePaola's car is now the focal point of a double murder investigation in New Jersey, after cops found two badly burned bodies in the car on Friday.

Both victims had been shot in the head, too, in what's being termed as an "execution style" killing.

Related: Celebs React To Chuck Berry's Death

The backstory goes something like this, per TMZ: DePaola's son Chris was the one who regularly drove the car. Last Wednesday, two days before the murders, he went out of town and gave the car to a friend to look after.

That friend was apparently not supposed to drive the car around town, and only take it back home to put away for safe-keeping.

Obviously, that didn't happen -- but even worse, Chris now apparently can't get in contact with that friend, and he's getting worried about what that means.

No public leads or other info on the case about who was in the car, or who might have done it. And clearly, DePaola herself is a minor player here, merely a victim in her own (far lesser) way for having her property torched by someone.

But whatever did go down, this is scary, scary stuff.

R.I.P. to the victims.
