Megan Fox Spreads Word For Nail Tech's Dad Stricken with Cancer ... GoFundMe Picks Up Steam
Megan Fox is offering a helping hand to a friend in need -- this after the girl's father was diagnosed with cancer ... and it seems her good work is doing wonders for the cause.
The actress and model shared the link to a GoFundMe Monday, made for 64-year-old Michael Boyce by his daughter, Brittney -- who's Megan's nail tech.
M.F. says Michael was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and is asking her fans to help chip in towards his medical expenses ... and on the site, Brittney says her dad wasn't planning on retiring and had already missed a lot of work, and will likely be missing more.
Brittney says his new prescription isn't covered by insurance, and he already had to pay $1k out of pocket -- and that's not even a month's worth -- so she's hoping the money raised for her pops will help relieve the money pressures so he can focus on getting better.
Megan's reposting seems to have boosted Michael's donations quite a bit -- in just 3 days, the GoFundMe has climbed past $7,600 -- the goal's been raised to $60k.
While Megan's sharing certainly helped, she's been facing some backlash online ... with folks saying the "millionaire" is off base to ask others to pitch in when, in their minds, she could just cough up the loot herself.
For what it's worth, she still could've given her nail tech's family a sizeable donation behind the scenes ... sharing Michael's GoFundMe has already done a lot of good.

Kimora Lee Simmons has unloaded her swanky Bev Hills pad ... and she's making a killing on the place.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the model sold the home for a whopping $16.5 million earlier this month, and the new owner has already put the place back on the market for a short/long-term lease option, asking for $100k a month.
We're told the new owner is planning to eventually move in full-time, and he'll completely renovate the property -- but if you've got a decent chunk of change to drop on rent (we're lookin' at you, Sanchezos), you can live like Kimora until that time comes.
As for Kimora, she scooped up the mansion in 2008 for $11M ... and the 9,405-square-foot home comes with 9 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a whole lotta sweet perks throughout.
The estate has massive columns in the entry to greet your guests, and further inside there's a library, butler's pantry, spa, gym and wine cellar.
Out back, of course, there's a custom pool ... and a drop-dead gorgeous garden that looks like it's straight outta "Bridgerton."
It even has a greenhouse-style lounge area for those who enjoy chillin' with their plants.
Marc Noah of Sotheby's International Realty represented Kimora in the sale.

Gisele Bundchen is brushing off the fact her ex-husband Tom Brady is now dating another supermodel, Irina Shayk ... and it sounds like Gisele expected it to happen eventually.
A source close to Gisele tells TMZ ... "Why wouldn't she be happy for Tom? She divorced him. It is helpful to her freedom that he moved on."
The source says Gisele and Irina are NOT friends, but they have known each other professionally for years and have always been cordial when they cross paths.
TMZ broke the story ... Tom and Irina spent the entire weekend together in Los Angeles and are now officially dating, after first meeting at a billionaire's wedding where several models were hitting on Tom.
Some of our other sources say Gisele is "not happy" about the Tom and Irina news ... but now, people close to GB are pushing back.
For her part, Gisele has been spending a lot of time with her jiu-jitsu instructor in the wake of her and Tom's divorce ... though people close to her have consistently said she's not dating Joaquim Valente.
So, Tom's the first to officially move on ... and Gisele is rolling with it.
We covered it all in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Irina Shayk Dating Tom Brady ... Spend Night Together, He Caresses Her Face

8:05 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Tom Brady and Irina Shayk are indeed dating. We're told they met in May at the wedding of billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick in Sardinia. Our sources say "A number of models were hitting on Tom, and Irina was one of them," although her rep denies it.
The sources say Gisele Bundchen is "not happy at all" about the news Tom is dating Irina. The news came out just a couple of days after Gisele's birthday.
We're told Tom and Irina spent the entire weekend together.
Tom Brady seems to have a new love in his life -- and it just so happens to be Bradley Cooper's ex ... Irina Shayk, who spent the night at the dude's house this weekend.
Paps caught TB12 and Irina apparently cozying up in L.A. over the course of 2 days -- which all started on Friday, when we're told he first picked her up at Hotel Bel-Air in the afternoon ... only to drive her over to his crib. Our sources tell us Tom and Irina walked into his pad -- all smiles-- and that she didn't leave his place until the following morning ... at about 9:30.
Tom dropped Irina off at the hotel, only to pick her back up later that same afternoon. It was here they were photographed and filmed having a sweet interaction in his car.
They were stopped at a light ... and, clear as day, Tom is seen stroking Irina's cheek -- very tenderly, we might add. She's leaned over in her seat with a huge smile ... and Tom is also flashing a big grin. They even seem to be laughing together.
After this brief moment of PDA ... we're told Tom and Irina went back to his pad yet again.
Funny enough ... rumors of these two possibly being involved have been swirling for about a month now. Reports said they were at the same wedding back in June, and that Irina was allegedly "throwing herself" at Tom all throughout the evening ... something her rep denied.
In fact, Irina's team came out swinging at the notion she was into him ... calling that report "totally malicious and fictional." Welp, it would appear there was some truth in it. Tom and Irina haven't said anything about this themselves yet -- but on its face, it looks like they're romantically involved ... if not fully dating. TB ain't stroking anyone else's face like that!
Of course, they're both single ... especially Tom, who recently divorced Gisele Bundchen. Irina and Brad have been done for a while -- and she's dated around since, as we've seen.
Tom is certainly the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood ... and has a lot more time on his hands post-football. Sure seems like he's making good use of it -- have fun you two!

Irina Shayk Rooted Against Tom Brady At SB LII ... 5 Years Before L.A. Fling
Five years before Irina Shayk got cozy with Tom Brady in L.A. ... she was desperate to see him lose in one of the biggest games of his career -- cheering heavily for his Eagles opponents in Super Bowl LII.
The model showed up to the Feb. 4, 2018 Big Game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota with her then-boyfriend Bradley Cooper -- a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan -- wearing a white Birds cap.
She was spotted rubbin' elbows with fellow Eagles fans Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry on the field in the leadup to the contest ... making it clear she was hoping Brady's Patriots would take the L.
Of course, Tom and his New England squad did just that ... falling to Nick Foles, 41-33.
It's unclear if Shayk ever crossed paths with Brady before or after the game ... but we know they eventually connected down the road -- 'cause the ex-quarterback took her to his home for a night this past weekend.
Shayk was seen appearing to stay the evening at Brady's place in L.A. on Friday ... before the two put on some big PDA inside of a car later Saturday.
No word yet on if they're officially an item or just having a fun fling ... but one thing we know -- as a retired man, there can't be too many hard feelings if the Philly fandom is still ingrained in Shayk.

Gigi Hadid Arrested For Marijuana Possession ... After Flying To Cayman Islands
11:31 AM PT -- Cayman cops deny the bribery allegations, telling us, "Our officers categorically deny the bribery related allegation which has been made against them by Ms. Hadid. However, we invite Ms. Hadid to make a formal complaint to our Professional Standards Unit so that they can independently review the case in order to determine if there is any evidence to support her allegation."
10:33 AM PT -- A source close to Gigi Hadid tells us the weed discovered wasn't in her personal bag, it was found in a bag of one of the people she was traveling with ... but because the plane was in her name, all of the contents became her responsibility.
The source tells us officials allegedly wanted to be paid off, but Gigi refused, instead opting for the legal ramifications. We're told Gigi does have a medical card, but it wasn't considered valid in the Cayman Islands.
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.

Leonardo DiCaprio Fun in London ... Maya Jama, Neelam Gill Nearby 👀
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.
Of course, Leo's been linked to countless models this year alone ... but it still doesn't look like the dude's ready to settle down.

Logan Paul Sobs During Nina Agdal Proposal Super Sweet Moment!!! 💖
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!
CONGRATS!!!!!! 💍

Cara Delevingne Defends Snubbing Martin Brundle ... During British Grand Prix
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.
Cara Delevingne, absolute garbage behaviour. You’re on the grid, talk to Martin Brundle #f1 #BritishGP pic.twitter.com/nwGb5zjsWV
— Matt (@matt4w) July 9, 2023 @matt4w
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.
I was told to say no so I did. Thank you for seeing both sides xxx https://t.co/ZIIbrKB0kO
— Cara Delevingne (@Caradelevingne) July 9, 2023 @Caradelevingne
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.
It wasn’t an agent, it was an F1 representative
— Cara Delevingne (@Caradelevingne) July 9, 2023 @Caradelevingne
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.
She didn't elaborate beyond that, and frankly ... her explanation is bizarre on its face. In any case, Cara's moving on -- going on to say she had fun regardless of what people think.

Nina Agdal Check Out My Engagement Ring ... Huge Rock from Logan
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.
Congrats!!!

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.

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.

Gisele Bundchen Surf's Up!!! ... Hangs 10 In Tiny Bikini In Costa Rica
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.
Tom, of course, hasn't been around for any of the fun activities with Gisele since they split last year ... but don't feel too bad -- he got in a little wave-running of his own last week ... where he looked just fine to us!!
