The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 earned $139.5 million over the weekend, making it the fifth-highest opening weekend gross ever, behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 3 and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Breaking Dawn also took in $144 million internationally, pushing its total global gross to a whopping $283.5 million.
New Moon still holds the franchise record with its opening gross of $142.8 million, but Breaking Dawn could top the $296.6 million total New Moon earned domestically. The film brought in $30.3 million from midnight showings alone, and it made $72 million on Friday, which was the third-highest opening day ever.
Kristen Stewart made an appearance on Conan the other night, and not only did she chat about Breaking Dawn, but she also dished on her upcoming film, Snow White and the Huntsman. Check out her interview below!

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher reunited at a mutual friend's house in the Hollywood Hills over the weekend for what is assumed to be a precursor to Demi's divorce filing.
Ashton, 33, arrived at the home solo, but then Demi, 49, followed an hour later. The couple stayed for an hour and left at the same time.
Since the couple were married for six years, the two certainly have a lot to talk about when it comes to dividing their assets. Demi certainly had a ton of her own money going into the marriage, as did Ashton with That 70's Show and Punk'd ... so hopefully the divorce will remain amicable and not be dragged through court.
Last Thursday, Demi announced she was ending her marriage with Ashton and said, "as a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life."
The two tied the knot in September 2005. Their marriage became strained after reports surfaced months ago that 22-year-old Sara Leal had an affair with the actor.

Jessica Simpson had a baby shower and everybody came!
The jolly mom-to-be had a bash at her Hollywood Hills home at noon on Saturday, and famous friends like Jessica Alba, Gwen Stefani and Ali Larter came out to celebrate, along with Jessica's younger sister Ashlee.
Jess' fiance Eric Johnson went to Casa Vega while the ladies enjoyed some time to themselves, and it sounds like they may have been setting up some future playdates! With Bronx, Honor, Haven, Zuma, Kingston and Theodore, Jessica's kiddo will have plenty of fellow celebritots to hang out with!
In addition to baby gifts, it seems like Jessica is trying to score a major pay day with her bundle of joy. The singer/actress is reportedly in talks with Weight Watchers for a $4 million deal to lose pregnancy pounds, according to Us Weekly. Apparently Jess was going to team up with the company anyway, but then she got pregnant. "[T]his was the perfect compromise," a source tells the mag.
Additionally, sources told the New York Post that Jessica's father/manager Joe was trying to strike a deal with several tabloids that would not only pay for the confirmation of the pregnancy but also for the first pictures of her newborn. So what was the asking price for the pregnancy announcement? According to reports, a cool $500,000!

Second time's the charm?
After calling off their three-month engagement back in July, Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler are engaged again! "Kristin is over the moon with happiness," a source tells Life & Style. "She's already told her friends that the engagement is back on. They haven't set a new date yet."
After approximately 6 months of dating, Jay proposed while the lovebirds were on vacation in Mexico last April, but they split due to their busy work schedules. Kristin and Jay rekindled their romance when she began competing on Dancing With the Stars in September, so it seems like she'll get to have her dream wedding after all!
UPDATE: Kristin is NOT engaged! She tweeted today, "New week new rumor. I'm not engaged u guys."

While attending a charity poker event at the Moose Lodge in Santa Monica, Charlie Sheen chatted about Ashton Kutcher and put on his poker face ... and a couple other faces, as well. We'll admit, some of his looks are a bit rough.
The former Two and a Half Men star also gave his two cents on the fact that Men's ratings have dropped. Listen to what he had to say!

Christina Aguilera performed “Moves Like Jagger” with Adam Levine last night at the American Music Awards, but it wasn't a botched lyric or bad makeup that everyone was talking about -- it was a skimpy bandage dress that showed off her fuller figure in a less-than-flattering way.
Christina's bulging belly was visible through the skintight metallic frock, and several media outlets began to speculate that the Grammy winner is pregnant. Her rep shot down the reports, and a source close to Xtina recently told In Touch that the singer can’t seem to control her weight and it's driving her crazy. “Christina hates her thunder thighs,” the source said. Well, it wouldn't be as big of a problem if she didn't pick clothes that drew attention to her problem areas!
Check out the performance below:
Do you think Xtina should have picked a different dress?

Beyonce's bump looked oh-so-cute in her brown Roberto Cavalli gown on the red carpet for her Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4 screening. The 30-year-old songstress is, no doubt, pregnant. For all those doubting her pregnancy ... sorry!
Jay-Z's wifey, who accessorized her dress with YSL shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels, is always such a pro on the red carpet. Love that gold detail on the dress!
Beyonce's 2-disc Live at Roseland concert DVD will hit stores on November 29. We can't wait!

Jennifer Lopez was not only a winner at the American Music Awards ... but also on the red carpet. The sexy and single Latina looked fit and phenomenal in a fringed mini dress. Oh my, look at those legs! Marc Anthony eat your heart out!
Vanessa Lachey (yes, she changed her name!) hosted the pre-show, and while her hubby Nick stayed home, the brunette bombshell looked understated, yet elegant in white.
Others who wowed for different reasons ... Audrina Patridge in a cleavage baring mini (really??) and Heidi Klum who strutted the carpet in a foil-looking ensemble.
