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.

Their estrangement didn’t seem to sleet on anyone’s holiday … ’cause David and Victoria also looked jolly in several videos they posted of their own Christmas celebration, which included sons Romeo and Cruz Beckham, plus their daughter, Harper. Their shindig seemed to be a cozy and festive gathering full of dancing, plentiful food and drink and decor to set the scene.

A man who once starred on a reality show about swingers has been arrested in Ohio and charged with 2 sex charges — one involving an animal.

Tony McCollister, who starred on A&E’s short-lived “Neighbors with Benefits” reality series about swingers, was cuffed in Warren County Tuesday on charges of pandering obscenity involving a minor and sexual conduct with an animal. His bail was set at $250,000 when he was arraigned in court this week. He remains in custody.

He is next due in court on Dec. 30, per WLWT5, who was first to report the news.

The Backstreet Boys made the “right decision” not signing with Shaquille O’Neal back in the day … so says AJ McLean, who tells TMZ Sports while he adores the NBA legend — he doubts they’d have the same success had they inked a deal with him.

It’s a wild story, but 100% true — both BSB and *NSYNC used Shaq’s Orlando studio to record some of their earliest music when he was a member of the Magic in the ’90s … and O’Neal has openly expressed his regret over not pouncing on the opportunity to work with the boy bands in an official capacity.

We caught up with AJ recently … and asked a good ol’ “what if?”

It’s interesting … ’cause *NSYNC member Lance Bass told us a few years back he wishes Shaq would’ve been part of their team … even though he wouldn’t have been able to box out Lou Pearlman entirely.
