Box office weekend… Tito Jackson has died… Jane’s Addiction breaks out into fight… Kanye West perform on stage with his four children… and Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez reunited for lunch

 

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was number one for a second weekend, adding another $51.6M to its domestic box office total, which has now hit $188M and $264.3M globally. The new Speak No Evil opened with $11.5M — a little under expectations. Coming in third was Deadpool & Wolverine with another $5.2M. So far, D&E has earned $621.5M here at home and $1.3B globally, making it the most successful R-rated movie of all time. The Daily Wire movie Am I Racist? cost $3M to make and opened in fourth with $4.7M. This is described as a mockumentary along the lines of Borat, with conservative columnist Matt Walsh going undercover as a DEI trainee. And fifth place this weekend was Reagan with $2.96M.

Tito Jackson has passed away at the age of 70. His longtime friend and manager told Entertainment Tonight that Tito died yesterday while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma. Toriano Adaryll “Tito” Jackson was the third of the nine Jackson siblings. He was preceded in death by his younger brother, Michael, who died in 2009 at the age of 50. Tito’s sons Taj, Taryll and TJ — who made up the group 3T — released a joint statement saying, “It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being. Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito’ or some know him as ‘Poppa T.”’ Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be ‘Tito Time’ for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached and that is ‘Love One Another.’ We love you Pops.”

Jane’s Addiction ended their Friday night show in Boston mid-concert because the band got into a fight onstage! Lead singer Perry Farrell got up in Dave Navarro’s face and shoulder-checked him before trying to throw a punch. He was intercepted by a crew member, but then bassist Eric Avery put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the gut! Show over! The band issued a statement the next day saying, “We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night.” They also canceled last night’s show in Connecticut, but no word yet on the remainder of the tour. Perry’s wife hopped on social media to have her husband’s back, saying he was upset about the band drowning out his vocals. She complimented Dave for handling the situation with grace, but laid into Eric for taking “cheap shots.”

Kanye West is starting a family band! He brought all four of his kids with him to China for his Vultures Listening Party. Proud stepmom Bianca Censori recorded North, Saint Chicago and Psalm bouncing around on stage while their daddy performed Everybody, on which he sampled the Backstreet Boys without getting their permission. However, TMZ says he may have used a loophole, getting permission from the song’s writer and not the band.

Back in August — on what would’ve been the second anniversary of their big wedding party in Georgia — Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, listing their date of separation as April 26. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce, and asked the judge to restore her maiden name. Ben and Jen reportedly had no prenup, so things could get a tad messy as they divide up the assets accumulated in those two short years. However, it looks like they’re trying to keep things on the amicable side. Ben and Jen took her twins and his kids Seraphina and Samuel to brunch Saturday at the Beverly Hills Hotel. A source inside the restaurant said the kids sat at one table and Ben and Jen at another. The source also clams they were holding hands and kissing. Despite any signs of affecting, a source told People they are still moving forward with the divorce.
