Christmas looked a little different for Tom Brady this year. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, 45, spent the day alone in a hotel preparing to face off against the Arizona Cardinals while son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10, were in Brazil with their mom, Gisele Bündchen. “Gisele had them first, which was hard for him because Tom’s always been with the kids during the holidays,” a source tells Life & Style. After the game, the NFL star was reunited with all three of his children, including 15-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, posting photos from the bittersweet belated celebration on his Instagram Story. “The kids pretty much have everything they need, so it was less about gifts and more about spending quality time with them,”…

More heartbreak for Katie Holmes. The Alone Together actress, 44, has called it quits with her boyfriend of eight months, musician Bobby Wooten III. “They broke up mid-December,” dishes an insider. “She’s no longer [talking] about him to her friends.” In April, Katie and Bobby, 33, sparked speculation of a romance when the two were spotted kissing and holding hands in NYC. The pair went on to make their red carpet debut as a couple the following month at the Moth’s 25th Anniversary Gala, the Silver Ball. “They were just on different wavelengths,” the insider explains. “Bobby was ready to take their relationship to the next level, but Katie wasn’t feeling it and thought it best not to lead him on any longer.”…

Busted! Paula Abdul is being accused of photoshopping a pic of herself from Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party in Calabasas, Calif. Though they are only three years apart in age, the “Straight Up” singer, 60, looked decades younger than the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 63, in the Instagram snap. “Who am I even looking at?” asked a fan. “That’s a completely different face,” commented another. According to a source, the social media snafu left the “Bend Time Back Around” beauty embarrassed. “Paula is like most celebrities in Hollywood.
