Christmas

A Salvation Army bell ringer got drunk during his volunteer shift and attacked the manager of a Florida Publix he was collecting money in front of on Christmas Eve.

The rogue "Santa's Helper" -- 63-year-old Steven Pavlik -- was "belligerent" and "aggressively confronting people walking by" during his shift, which is when the store's manager got involved, the Martin County Sheriff's Office says. When the manager came outside to speak to Pavlik, "he became violent" and allegedly "attempted to impale" him with the donation kettle tripod.

He then fled the scene, but deputies tracked him down to his residence, where he was cuffed and then transported to the Martin County Jail. He has been charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest. He has since been released, online records show.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola were a no-show for the Beckham family Christmas festivities this year, instead celebrating with Nicola's parents Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner Peltz.

Check out the pics -- Brooklyn and the "Bates Motel" actress were all smiles as they posed in their matching Christmas pajamas ... also making sure to get a snap with Nelson and Claudia. They captioned their holiday photo dump ... "We wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year filled with so much love, peace and happiness ❤️🎄⭐️."

As you know, there's not much peace between Brooklyn and his parents right now. TMZ reported in May there had been issues boiling ever since Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022, where we were told Nicola was left in tears after Victoria hijacked their first dance. Then, there were tensions when Brooklyn's little bro Romeo Beckham started seeing Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn had a past with.

Many cities are in the midst of a white Christmas season ... but, while some stars went for a traditional version, others decided to take in the white sandy beaches instead of the blizzard.

Keke Palmer's hanging out with a new ape friend ... while Eric and Jessie James Decker decided to brave the cold in Montana.

Britney Spears must be feeling "Lucky" ... 'cause she got to spend Christmas with her younger son, Jayden James!

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Jayden spent the holiday with the "Toxic" hitmaker, which was all around "great" for the pair. Meanwhile, her older son, Sean Preston, stayed back in Louisiana due to work obligations ... so he celebrated with his aunt, Jamie Lynn Spears, and her family.

The "Zoey 101" alum posted a family pic that showed Sean grinning with his arms around her eldest daughter, Maddie, and his grandmother, Lynne Spears. Also posing in the family snap were Jamie Lynn's husband, Jamie Watson, and their 7-year-old daughter, Ivey.

President Trump got into the Christmas spirit the only way he knows how these days -- going on a tirade about Jeffrey Epstein.

The commander-in-chief jumped on Truth Social on Christmas Day and went on one of his famous rants, kicking things off by wishing everyone Merry Christmas. Directly after, he unleashed pure bile ... calling many of Epstein's close friends "Sleazebags," who dropped the late pedophile "like a dog" after things got too hot.

Trump pointed out the "Sleazebags" originally loved Epstein and gave him bundles of money and in return, traveled to his infamous island and kicked back at his parties ... believing he was the greatest guy. But when things became too twisted, Trump said the "Sleazebags" falsely claimed they had nothing to do with Epstein -- and even tried to pretend they didn't know him.

Ratings for Snoop Dogg’s Netflix NFL Christmas Game Day “Holiday Halftime Party” drop next week, but judging from the reactions, it’s gonna draw in HUGE numbers!!!

Snoop's 10-minute performance intersected the Detroit Lions-Minnesota Vikings matchup in Minneapolis, and he didn’t shortchange the showmanship in the late, great Prince’s city.

Snoop and his team delivered an array of his classic hip hop records with a mix of Christmas standards and tons of surprises … country superstar Lainey Wilson, Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo, Netflix’s chart-topping HUNTR/X and singer Tonio Armani all shared the stage with Santa Snoop.

Diddy received a Christmas treat as he spent his second holiday behind bars -- a visit from his son, Justin!

Diddy’s rep, Juda Engelmayer, tells TMZ … Justin Combs visited Diddy at Fort Dix Prison in New Jersey on Christmas Day, and they spoke a bunch, catching up on life and each other. Specifically, we're told they talked about how to manage life in this time, to pray, appreciate loved ones and reflect on the past with a resolution to do better going forward. But ... there were no physical gifts passed around, as that is not allowed.

Diddy continued his introspection on Christmas day with a few inmates when they had their own private reflective mass, Engelmayer adds.

Before this lil' cutie with red reindeer antlers turned into a singer-songwriter, she was just throwin' on her holiday attire, growing up in Galloway Township, New Jersey, and dreaming of the flashy lights ...

She rose to fame in 2019 with her TikTok vids, and one of her popular songs is titled "la di die.”

Kendall Jenner's beauty is the gift that keeps on giving ... just take a gander at her in a tight red dress on Christmas Eve.

The model ventured out Wednesday night in a festive outfit perfect for a sexy night before Christmas ... a striking red dress with a black furry coat, plus white heels and a silver bag. Yep, she definitely got some creatures stirring with this look.

Kendall showed up to the spot in a black SUV but it might as well have been Santa Claus' slay the way her colors were giving Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer vibes. Santa wouldn't complain, but Mrs. Claus might ... just saying.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are taking their relationship to a major next step ... the Kardashian's Christmas gingerbread house.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed in an Instagram story posted by Travis Barker's step-daughter -- Atiana De La Hoya -- that there's a certain someone that has been added to this year's iconic festive, family tradition ... and it is none other than Kylie's jingle bell boo Timothée Chalamet.

The Kardashian-Jenner family is known for their creative, and bold gingerbread houses that are displayed every year without a doubt, and include all the family members -- multiplying as each year passes by ... so for Timmy to be included this year, is kinda a big deal.

Lukas Haas and Anderson .Paak are in the Christmas spirit ... because Lukas got on the mic at Anderson's karaoke bar and belted out his new holiday song ... and we have it all on video.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, from inside Anderson's music bar in West Hollywood, Andy's, where Lukas showed up on Christmas eve for a live performance of his new single, "Christmas Cheers."

The song was originally written for Lukas' character on the HBO hit "Righteous Gemstones" ... and as you can tell, it's not your traditional Christmas story.

Anderson's karaoke spot was having an ugly Christmas sweater night too ... and he and Lukas played along.

Travis Kelce and his brother Jason are taking holiday fashion to a whole new level -- rockin' matching Christmas sweaters that each feature a gigantic tree as a not-so-subtle nod to their respective … ahem … “packages.”

For context ... in Taylor Swift's hit song "Wood," she sings all about her NFL fiancé's nether regions ... referencing Travis’ manhood as a redwood tree and dubbing it “the gift that keeps giving" ... so this surely is quite the package deal.

This isn't the first time the bros addressed the elephants in the room ... Jason Kelce was actually the one who got the footballer to open up on "Wood" during an episode of "New Heights" -- and while Travis said he liked it, he was quite shy when pressed to give further comment.

Jason went on to describe which forest friend he'd compare his genitalia to, saying ... "It'd be like Japanese Maple," before adding, "Sometimes can see" -- hence the crimson-themed design on his sweater this Christmas.

Khloé Kardashian's Christmas just got a whole lot cozier, 'cause she is welcoming a new member of the family ... a puppy!!!

"The Kardashians" reality star revealed the adorable addition on her Instagram Christmas day ... sharing the tiny black lab pup, surrounded by fellow presents and toys while sporting a dashing red collar with a bow -- showing it's named "Peppermint."

The timing couldn’t be more festive with Christmas celebrations in full swing ... and Peppermint is arriving just in time to join family traditions, snuggle by the tree, and likely steal the spotlight in some of Khloé’s festive social media posts.

This news comes just a week after Khloé shared a note to Santa from her kids True and Tatum -- aka "Tay Tay" -- which reads "Dear Santa please can I have a real puppy."

The siblings specifically asking for a "Black lab" ... but the duo makes it clear to Santa by emphasizing how he must "make sure it is real" -- so seems like Santa certainly got the message.

A cop in Ohio almost ended up on Santa's naughty list after pulling over Santa and Mrs. Claus for speeding ... and the hilarious traffic stop is all on video.

The Fulton County Sheriff's office shared video of one of their deputies pulling over an elderly couple dressed as Santa and Mrs. Clause over the weekend for "flying a little too fast."

When the deputy realizes he's talking to Father Christmas he exclaims, "Santa!!!"

Jolly old Saint Nick was packing heat too ... he told the deputy he had a concealed carry weapon and the deputy replied, "Santa has a CCW? Times are rough!!!"

President Donald Trump's controversial name change of the renowned Kennedy Center has really ruffled some feathers ... a Christmas Eve jazz concert was cancelled in protest at the performing arts center.

Chuck Redd, the host of the Christmas Eve concert, told the Associated Press that he pulled the plug on the event because he was pissed Trump switched the venue's name from the John F. Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center.

Redd said, “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”
