Holidaze

Ryan Phillippe's freak accident is definitely behind him ... can't say the same about his freak of a bod, thankfully.

Ryan posed for this shirtless pic while on a holiday vacay, where apparently winter attire's optional ... because no one ever said washboard abs are strictly a summer show. That beanie, though ... way to protect the blonde locks.

Great to see Ryan fully back on his feet ... months after a UTV crushed his right leg after trying to steer the thing to safety.

Authorities responsible for the Rose Parade have the Vegas massacre on their minds -- in fact, front and center -- TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources say the Parade is now a national matter ... authorities from the Pasadena as well as surrounding police departments will be all over the parade route, along with state police and federal agents.

We're told so far there are no credible threats that could put parade-goers in harm's way, but these are different times. There was no real warning with the Vegas shooter and authorities are keenly aware these attacks increasingly materialize without any warning.

And more signs of the times ... there will be barricades preventing terrorists from entering the route and going on a rampage. The area will be shut down 24 hours in advance so it can be fully secured.

There will be a full compliment of cops and equipment ... magnetometers, undercover officers, cops on horseback. The presence of law enforcement will be massive.

Cops want to stress what you've been hearing ... if you see something, say something.

Joey Bada$$ went gold in 2017, and T-Pain re-emerged with a comeback album ... both worthy celebratory occasions that inspired their record label's CEO to splurge on gold and diamonds.

Jonny Shipes -- CEO of Cinematic Music Group -- dropped $75k for the chains featuring each rapper's logo on the back and the label's logo on the front. The pendant -- encrusted with VS-1 diamonds -- is the handiwork of celebrity jeweler Will Da Boss.

Joey's big 2017 got off to a quick start when his single, "Devastated," earned him his first gold plaque. Not to be outdone, T-Pain released his fifth studio album, "Oblivion" ... his first album in 6 years.

Another reason for the pendants? Creating a chain to join the iconic chain ranks of those from Roc-A-Fella and OVO. Mission accomplished.

Kanye West might've just gotten Kim Kardashian the best Christmas gifts ever ... even more ways to be filthy rich in the future.

Kim revealed what her hubby got her for Xmas on her IG story Tuesday, and thank the Lord for the twist here -- 'cause his first batch of goodies came off as pretty lame ... a Mickey doll, Adidas socks, a Netflix gift card, an Amazon gift card and Apple headphones.

But wait, there's more! Kim shows off a 2nd box from Kanye that had the good stuff -- stocks from those same companies. It's clear to see on the Disney certificate, Kanye purchased $100k of stock ... and bought the same amount for EACH company.

Tallulah Willis has a holiday message for anyone who used to call her ugly as a kid ... drink it all in for Xmas.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's youngest daughter posted a bikini hot shot on Christmas Eve alongside her 2 sisters, Rumer and Scout -- who were also bikini-clad -- as they all took a dip in what looks like a river surrounded by snow.

Tallulah captioned the photo ... "dedicated to everyone who called me ugly at 13."

The youngest Willis kid has made it known she used to be bullied about her looks growing up. She told Katie Couric in 2014 ... "I had people when I was 13 telling me how ugly I was, and how could two beautiful actors create such hideous troll children?"

Lonzo Ball just won Christmas ... going full Big Baller style, copping a $350k Rolls-Royce for his dad, LaVar, and his mom, Tina ... and their first ride was caught on video.

Ball unveiled the new ride on his social media with the hashtag "It's the least I could do" ... though something tells us he knows he's doing the most.

Of course, the Balls aren't strangers to fancy cars -- all the boys push Lamborghinis -- but we're guessing Lonzo felt it was time his dad got in on the act as well.

We had our office car experts check the ride out, and it looks to be a Rolls-Royce Dawn, which retails around $350K ... good use of Lonzo's $6 million salary from the Lakers this year.

It seems Danielle Bregoli has taken the words, "Tis better to give than to receive" to heart ... and her mom's Christmas is a lot merrier and brighter as a result.

The 'Cash Me Outside' girl, aka Bhad Bhabie, gave her mom the gift of debt relief ... presenting her with a $65,000 check to pay off her mortgage. Looks like Mama was genuinely touched by the generosity.

It's been an incredible year for the infamous Dr. Phil guest-turned internet meme-turned reality TV star-turned Kardashian rival -turned successful rapper.

Meek Mill might be behind bars, but that doesn't mean he can't buy himself awesome Christmas gifts from his commissary, and same goes Martin Shkreli, but not so much El Chapo and Abby Lee Miller.

We got a list of things Meek, El Chapo, Shkreli and Abby Lee can buy while in lockup and El Chapo and Abby Lee got the shorter end of the stick. Here's what they've got access to purchase ...

It might not snow in L.A. but bet your ass Nicole Williams still knows how to turn a beach into a winter wonderland.

The 'WAGS' star was struttin' her stuff on a beach in Santa Monica where she wore the hell out of a mesh one-piece from her Nia Lynn swim collection. This attire's quite the switch-up from what we're used to seeing her in -- usually very little to nothing at all ... not that we're complaining.

Oscar-winning songwriter Paul Williams would rather hear Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear belt out Christmas songs than Bing Crosby ... because he wrote the tunes for the famous puppets!

Paul's career is legendary. He's penned tracks for everyone from the Carpenters to Barbra Streisand to Daft Punk ... even the Kermit the Frog banger "Rainbow Connection." He also scored "The Muppets Christmas Carol."

When we asked him what his favorite Xmas song this week at LAX ... Paul wasn't afraid to plug his own catalog, but more for nostalgic reasons that involve Muppets creator Jim Henson.

We also asked him if he'd ever work with Bieber, and Williams certainly didn't rule it out since they already have something in common.

Teresa Giudice and her kids got a sad lesson about the crappy kind of red tape this holiday season ... the kind that'll keep them away from Joe Giudice for Christmas.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the snag came last month when Joe was transferred from a federal prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey to another facility in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. Teresa had to submit new visitor forms for her and the kids.

Problem is ... the process that goes into approving the paperwork moves at a snail's pace and won't be ready until after Christmas.

Plan B for Teresa, her dad and the kids is a trip to Mexico. If all goes as planned, they'll celebrate Christmas with Joe in the New Year.

Patrick Schwarzenegger's political pedigree is nearly unmatched -- his dad was "The Governator" and his mom's part of the Kennedys -- so it makes sense he'll run for office some day ... and he can't deny it.

We got the actor and elder son of former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and JFK niece Maria Shriver out in Bev Hills Friday, and after some sparse small talk about holiday gifts, we asked him if politics are in his future.

Patrick tells us he's game if he feels he can better the country, so the door's open ... wide open.

He left us hanging on what his Pops gets him for Christmas, though.

Young Thug agreed to perform at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Halloween weekend for $85k, but refused to get on stage if the hotel didn't cough up an extra $20k last minute ... according to a new lawsuit.

The Roosevelt is suing Suntoucher Entertainment, claiming they locked Thugger's Oct. 28 performance for $85k and gave the booker half the fee a month ahead of the gig.

The Roosevelt says about a week before the concert, Young Thug contacted them saying he was not repped by Suntoucher and put them in touch with his agents at CAA, who demanded an additional $20k for the performance.

The Roosevelt says they decided to cough up the extra dough since they'd already sold tickets, but since the booker broke the original deal, they're suing to get back their $42.5k deposit and the extra $20k.

FYI ... some TMZ staffers were at the show and say Thugger's set was lit.

Screw decking the halls ... Tony Hawk's hitting the Fiji islands as an early Christmas gift to the Hawk clan -- and it looks siiick.

No sign of Tony shreddin' on land ... but the pro skater's 3 younger kids -- Spencer, Keegan, and Kadence -- are keepin' it extreme in the water with surfing and cliff diving.

The Hawks are chillin' out a little too ... and why not? They got a damn infinity pool AND oceanside fine dining.
