Gigi Hadid was arrested and charged with possessing pot and drug paraphernalia after she flew to the Cayman Islands from the U.S. last week, TMZ has confirmed.

The model touched down in a private jet at Owen Roberts International Airport July 10 and went through customs with her luggage.

Customs & Border Control agents put her bags through a scanner and searched them by hand, finding a small amount of weed and smoking utensils.

Although CBC determined the ganja was for personal use only, Gigi and her traveling companion were arrested on charges of importation of marijuana and importation of utensils to smoke the cannabis.

She was processed at the Royal Cayman Islands Detention Center, where she arranged for bail and was later released pending prosecution of her case.

Gigi was fined $1,000, and we're told there is no conviction on her record.

This week's Summer Hot Shots have been baked and served to perfections from Palm Springs where Emmett Preciado cooked poolside shirtless ... and the results are an abs-olute desert dessert!

When the actor isn't burning up his Instagram and TikTok accounts with hot content ... Emmett Preciado is a hard-working trans activist who enjoys taking in the scenery while hiking around the hills of Los Angeles.

Talk about a breath of fresh air!

Leonardo DiCaprio knows how to keep the model rumor mill in high gear -- his fun night out in London had him in close quarters with Maya Jama and Neelam Gill -- 2 women to whom he's already been linked.

Here's the deal ... Thursday night Leo hit up the Chiltern Firehouse -- it's kinda his HQ in London -- for the Vogue x Self Portrait party, and he brought along his mom Irmelin Indenbirken, who was no doubt having a blast.

But, Maya and Neelam were also in the building while LD was partying, and while there's no photo evidence they hung out, it certainly wouldn't be giving "strangers" vibes if they bumped into one another.

All 3 were at the Chiltern back in February as well, for Leo's pre-BAFTAs party, and Maya -- the "Love Island" host -- also went to the same BAFTA after-party as him.

Maya also was spotted wearing a "Leo" necklace, which made fans go nuts over the implications -- but she denied any connection, saying on social media it's just her zodiac sign.

As for Neelam ... we're told the British model is dating one of Leo's friends, so that's why they keep ending up at the same events.

She was spotted grabbing dinner with Leo and his pal, Tobey Maguire, in Paris last month -- and she even was at, you guessed it, the Chiltern, in May ... leaving right behind Leo and Irmelin.

Playboy is paying homage to Pamela Anderson, with a contest tasking fans/wannabe models with recreating her famous magazine covers and spreads ... and TMZ has the first look at their submissions.

The contest kicked off July 1, in honor of Pam's birthday, and the hotties channeling their best Pamela impressions are from Playboy's digital creator platform, which is the magazine's spin on OnlyFans.

Pamela holds the Playboy record with 14 covers -- she first appeared in the mag way back in 1989-- and the contest challenged women to mimic some of Pam's famous shots from the '90s.

The Pam-inspired contest ended this week, and Playboy will be announcing a winner soon ... so in the meantime, here's an inside look at some of the entries.

Sorry folks, this contest does not feature nudity, but check out the gallery -- the pictures are still smoking hot and super tasteful.

Grab the tissues ... Logan Paul just dropped video of his romantic marriage proposal to Nina Agdal, and it couldn't have been sweeter!!!

Paul published the video on his YouTube page Monday morning, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most important moments of his entire life.

Of course, we knew 28-year-old Paul and 31-year-old Agdal got engaged last week ... but now Logan and Nina are sharing video of the actual proposal in Lake Como, Italy.

Paul popped the question after dinner ... as the couple was taking in the beautiful scenery.

"Nina, I love you so much," Logan said ... as he turned into a puddle.

"You are the love of my life. You are the girl of my dreams. I never thought I'd find you. I never want to let you go. I'm sorry I'm being such a 'p***y'" ... before dropping down to one knee.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" ... the couple embraced, and there were more tears!

After the proposal, Logan and Nina had dinner with her parents ... where LP asked the rents if he could ask for their daughter's hand in marriage.

Sure, that's typically done before you actually ask ... but that's when Logan revealed the weather forecast forced him to move up the day he was going to ask for her hand in marriage.

Thankfully, Mom and Dad said yes (whew 😰).

Paul also showed the moment in May when he first saw the huge rock of a ring that he helped design ... and he was clearly blown away.

"Oh my God, it's perfect," LP said when he saw the ring ... adding "People don't talk about how stressful it is for dudes to pick out rings for their soon-to-be wife."

Logan also showed his brother Jake's reaction to the engagement ring (he was psyched for his bro!) ... as well as his mother's!

Bottom line, the proposal was perfect ... and now it's time to plan a wedding!

Martin Brundle fans were NOT happy after Cara Delevingne snubbed him on the grid -- but the model's defending herself ... saying she was just following orders.

The F1 legend-turned-broadcaster was on his usual TV schtick at the British Grand Prix Sunday ... walking around the grid/trying to talk to famous people on camera, for which he's sort of become famous (anew) lately -- especially depending on who he gets.

This time, he wanted a quick one-on-one with Cara ... but he was being rebuked at the door, with some nameless-faceless man blocking him from approaching CD and saying an impromptu interview was a no-go. Martin forged on though, and asked Cara directly.

He tried to be light-hearted about it ... saying it's a "rule" that everyone on the grid has to talk to him, and we're being honest -- yeah, that's kinda the unspoken deal at these events.

Anyway, Cara doubled down in what the guy -- who looked to be part of her team -- said ... namely, she wouldn't be giving any interviews ... saying "no" repeatedly. MB walked away and threw a little dig at her, sarcastically saying he's sure it would've been a fascinating chat.

As you can imagine, F1 Twitter started ripping into Cara ... calling her conceited and full of herself for rejecting what's become a pastime at Grand Prix races -- talking to Martin. But she's come out swinging, responding by saying she specifically was told not to rebuff him.

Folks replied to that by questioning whether she was told this by her agent or PR person, and wondering if she wasn't capable of thinking/speaking for herself -- but she stamped that out too ... claiming it was actually a Formula 1 rep who instructed her not to speak.

Nina Agdal's showing off her engagement ring for the first time, and it looks like Logan Paul dropped a fortune.

Logan and Nina were spotted kissing and hugging this week on their hotel balcony in Portofino, Italy, and it was hard to miss the huge diamond ring on her finger.

As you can see, the emerald-cut diamond looks MASSIVE, and pretty sparkly too -- no wonder Nina was wearing shades.

The newly engaged couple looks super happy here ... lounging in robes and packing on the PDA. Now, that's amore!

As we reported, Logan popped the question Sunday at Italy's famed Lake Como.

The social media and WWE superstar started dating the supermodel last May, so the engagement comes a little over a year into their relationship.

TMZ broke the story ... Logan and Nina celebrated their engagement Monday with a boat day on Lake Como, smooching and working on their tans.

We didn't see the ring during the boat trip, which is pretty remarkable, given the size ... but now it's making a big splash.

Logan Paul is soon to be a married man -- the dude proposed to his boo, Nina Agdal, while overseas ... and she said yes!

The social media and WWE star popped the big question while vacationing at Italy's Lake Como Sunday, sources close to the couple can confirm.

Logan just wrapped his latest WWE appearance the day before in London, high-flying and body-slamming into fellow competitors. He definitely took some lumps in the ring, but we're sure none of that matters with a wedding in his future!

DailyMail was the first to report the engagement.

For those unaware, the lovebirds have only been dating since last May, but went Instagram official months later -- and they sure have been enjoying each other's company during their 1+ year of dating.

The Danish model admitted earlier this year she first met Logan at an NYC event, inviting him up for drinks with some of her pals ... adding they clicked instantly.

The thermometers are starting to top off and there's a smell of sunblock in the air, which can mean only one thing ... It's time to kick off the TMZ Summer Hot Shots features!

This year we are starting off the Fourth of July holiday weekend with the eye-popping influencer Eve Plourde ... a real red-hot firecracker complete with a cheeky checker print bikini and a matching pair of cherry shades!

When Eve isn't looking at life through her rose-colored glasses, she uses her artistic eye to stick it to her customers at her tattoo shop and leaves the competition in the dust in her tricked-out 2014 Subaru WRX.

Vroom-Vroom!

Gisele Bundchen hit Costa Rican waters on Thursday for a little morning of surfing ... and she looked goooood -- both on the board, and off of it!

Tom Brady's ex didn't stay in the ocean long -- getting in only about 40 minutes of wave-riding -- but check out the photos from her gnar-shredding sesh ... she sure seemed to make it all count.

Bundchen got up on her ride several times ... cruising into shore with some serious pace over and over again.

She impressed while away from the board as well ... showing off a toned body in a black bikini.

In between it all, Gisele found time to give a little love to her daughter, Vivian ... holding hands with the young Brady as they got out of the water.

As it turns out, the surf spot was a pretty popular one on Thursday ... 'cause Shakira hit it up just a couple hours later as well -- and rode in some whitewash too!!

Unclear if the ladies have linked up while out in Costa Rica this week -- though we know they've gotten close over the last few months ... going on a mid-May dinner date with their kiddos in Miami.

Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley are gonna love this -- Kenny "The Jet" Smith has landed back on the beaches of Miami ... and he brought along the stunning Aline Bernardes for another relaxing day in the sun.

The "Inside The NBA" cohost and his lady first made waves back in May when they were spotted out in Florida together ... which, naturally, had his TV buddies cracking jokes left and right for the next few days.

Luckily for Smith, the NBA season is over ... so he can enjoy his free time with the model without worrying about the guys cracking jokes in front of a national audience.

Smith and Bernardes appear to be really into each other -- they were closer than ever as they rocked their swimsuits and went for a soak in the water on Thursday.

While their first trip to the beach was pretty chill, there was more PDA this time around -- Aline wrapped her arms around the NBA champ as they walked deeper into the ocean.

It looks like the return to the beach was entertaining for both ... they smiled from ear-to-ear throughout the day.

Anwar Hadid was spotted holding hands with a new GF during a New York City outing ... this after posting troublesome messages last month, which folks thought were all over the breakup with his ex, Dua Lipa.

Gigi and Bella Hadid's little bro stepped out Thursday ... and his hands were locked with what appears to be fellow fashion model, Sophia Piccirilli.

The 2 were clearly in great spirits -- a stark contrast to Anwar's online presence last month.

As we reported, Anwar was in a pretty dark space when he posted some cryptic -- and alarming -- comments on his IG story ... "Trying not to find him and kill him," "I hate the way you say his name," and "I can't breath[e]."

He never called out Dua directly, but it was around that same time the singer was at the Cannes Film Festival with her BF, director Romain Gavras ... so fans connected the dots.

Anwar took issue with the take fans and others had about his rant, posting a profanity-laced response ... though he never clarified if Dua was the subject.

The 2 were linked in 2019, but eventually split a couple of years later.

Gwendolyn Osborne is applauding Vanna White for holding out for a bigger slice of the TV game show pie ... telling us the "Wheel of Fortune" staple deserves way more money.

The former "Price Is Right" model joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and we asked about Vanna's salary demand -- at least half of the salary Pat Sajak gets -- $7.5M.

Gwendolyn is fully on board, saying Vanna deserves it, and in the process, she's helping lots of other women.

But, then we asked, what if Sony says final offer -- $4.5M -- should Vanna take it or walk? Watch the wheels turn in Gwendolyn's head.

TMZ broke the story ... Vanna has made $3 million a year for the last 18 years, without a single raise, and wants a big payday when Ryan Seacrest comes aboard as the new host.

Naomi Campbell is proving it's never too late to be a mother ... lettin' her fans know about her brand new baby she's welcomed at 53 years old!

The model shared the exciting news on social media Thursday, writing, "My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A True Gift from God 🙏🏾, blessed ! Welcome Babyboy."

She ended the heartfelt post by saying, "It's never too late to become a mother."

She was spotted last week without a baby bump, but it's unclear whether she carried the pregnancy or used a surrogate.

For those unaware, Naomi announced the birth of her first kid back in 2021 -- calling her a "beautiful little blessing" ... although she's been relatively private when it comes to her daughter, only sharing glimpses of her.

She was featured on the cover of Vogue in 2022 with her firstborn, however, and was met with a TON of good vibes and warm responses ... and she's getting the exact same thing for baby #2.

Cody Bellinger ... MLB star, father, and now fiancé -- the Chicago Cubs first baseman just proposed to his Sports Illustrated model girlfriend, and she said yes!!!

Chase Carter -- who has also graced the cover of Maxim magazine -- shared the exciting news on social media, posting a photo of her massive new ring in front of the Chi-town skyline.

Fans of Carter and Bellinger -- who began dating in 2020 -- were stoked for the couple ... with one follower saying, "That’s a huge ring holy moly."

Another one commented, "I'm over the moon happy for you guys!!!"

The World Series champ and Carter welcomed their second child together in April ... after having their first daughter, Caiden, in November 2021.

There's a lot happening for Cody. In addition to the second baby and engagement, Bellinger also signed with the Chicago Cubs after a rocky end to his tenure in Los Angeles.

Of course, the 2-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner signed a 1-year deal with Chicago in December 2022 after the worst offensive season of his career ... where he's looking to return to his old form.

Vanna White has got Sony spinning these days because she won't continue on "Wheel of Fortune" unless she makes at least half of what Pat Sajak has been making ... sources tell TMZ.

Sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations say Vanna is clear -- she's the cohost of the long-running show, so the pay disparity between her and Pat needs to be squarely addressed. Point of fact ... they're introduced this way on 'Wheel' -- "Here are the stars of our show, Pat Sajak and Vanna White."

So they're introduced as equals, but their salaries are anything but. We've confirmed Vanna's salary -- $3 million a year. And get this -- we've confirmed that's what she's made for the last 18 YEARS. She has not gotten a single pay increase in all that time.

Pat reportedly makes around $15 million a year. Vanna isn't asking for that, but we're told her lawyer, Bryan Freedman, is demanding half the amount Pat makes.

One source connected to Vanna put it this way ... "After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than him [Pat], asking for 50% of what he makes seems like a no-brainer."

Sony, we're told, is not on board, at least not yet. One source with direct knowledge described the negotiations as "very difficult."

Our sources also say Vanna feels like the issue is bigger than her. As one source says, "She feels like it's a statement for all women."

We're told Vanna wants to stay on the show, but if she doesn't get what she believes is "a minimum of what is fair," that's a real possibility.

Sony may be in a tough spot here because Vanna provides continuity when Ryan Seacrest takes over for Pat a year from September. It's pretty clear ... they don't want to lose Pat and Vanna at the same time.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.
