Lil Wayne pulled off the ultimate romantic gesture last night at a swanky Miami restaurant -- slipping his girlfriend a FAT ring hidden inside a dessert ... and then shouting to the restaurant, "SHE SAID YES!"
Sources at Barton G restaurant tell TMZ, Weezy secretly handed wait staff a ring with a giant yellow rock on it during his meal -- and asked them to slip it inside the restaurant's signature sundae.
Moments later, after the dessert was delivered to his table, we're told Lil Wayne jumped up and shouted to the entire restaurant -- "SHE SAID YES!!!"
Sources tell us, everyone inside the restaurant believed the rapper had just popped the question. Weezy even tweeted later in the night ... saying again, "She said yes!" ... prompting millions more to think he had just gotten engaged.
But Wayne later clarified, "I meant 'she said yes' to being my valentine!!! Hahahahahahaha! Y'all krazy!" Yes, we're the crazy ones.
FYI, the dessert -- called the Sabrina Sundae -- costs $43 and comes with TWELVE scoops of homemade ice cream, complete with sparklers and crazy toppings.
As for the meal itself -- we're told the couple split the fried chicken and skirt steak.
It all seems a little weird to us -- so we gotta ask ...
For the first time in years, Heidi Klum spent Valentine's Day WITHOUT the company of Seal.
Heidi -- accompanied by a bodyguard -- was out on Sunset Blvd. last night around 7:30 PM ... walking right past Boa restaurant and into an area where you can enter the Soho House ... a super-fancy members-only club with a restaurant and a bar.
Heidi was mum when we asked about her split from Seal ... but sources say Heidi still plans to move forward and will file for divorce.
Nothing says "I love you" like a banana hammock made of candy -- which is exactly what Erik Estrada's adoring wife got the actor for Valentine's Day ... but that's just the tip of the naughty iceberg.
Sources tell TMZ, Nanette Estrada purchased the "Naughty and Spice" basket from Snookies Cookies in Hollywood to deliver to her hubby for the holiday -- and it contains all sorts of dirty little gifts.
Among the sexy surprises -- a pair of candy panties, one candy man pouch, furry handcuffs, glow-in-the-dark body paint, lovers' dice, lickable tattoos, body spice, a feather plume, and a heart-shaped "massager."
The basket also includes some classic Snookies treats like cookies, brownies, marshmallow pops, and chocolate covered pretzels.
Sources tell us, Nanette even wrote Erik a romantic note to go along with her gift -- "Papo, You're still the hottest thing in this lifetime for me! I'll love you forever. Happy Valentine's Day!"
**BREAKING NEWS** Today is Valentine's Day and if you're anything like us... either you totally forgot about it or you just put it off until the last second -- but don't worry 'cause TMZ has got you covered!

V-Day is just around the corner -- and with all the rumors about marriage troubles for Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith ... there's one question on everyone's mind ... WHO is Jada's Valentine this year?
The answer might surprise you.
TMZ broke the story ... Will and Jada had bounced back from a rough patch last summer, when reports circulated that the couple was separating. So, still going strong for Feb. 14?
Don't let anyone tell you Barack Obama lacks cojones -- because this weekend in Hawaii, the POTUS himself sacrificed his body to make a diving catch in a hardcore beach football game ... and TMZ has the pics.
The pics were snapped New Year's Day at the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base on Oahu, where the President and the first family stayed for their 10-day vacation.
Obama -- who's pretty ripped for a 50-year-old -- makes some shockingly athletic plays ... diving for catches, tossing up some Hail Marys, and juking people all over the place.
When was the last time a President did THAT?!?
Obama and the fam arrived back in DC early Tuesday morning -- where Mr. President will begin to quarterback his re-election campaign.
Kim Kardashian seems to be getting over her failed, very short marriage ... at least for an evening. She closed out 2011 by hosting a New Year's Eve party at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas last night.
There are reports that Kim, who arrived in Vegas via private jet, raked in $60,000 for the gig.
Kim's mom Kris was front and center ... and Mark Ballas was there in case she decided to break out and dance. Thankfully, she didn't.
Wonder if there are any auld acquaintances that Kim would rather be forgot and never brought to mind?
Unless your New Year's Eve party featured Steven Tyler and Alice Cooper on the same stage performing the classic song "Come Together" ... you were not at the coolest NYE around.
Tyler and Cooper performed at Mala Restaurant in Wailea, Hawaii ... and Cooper can be seen reading the lyrics to keep up with Tyler, who covered the classic Beatles track with Aerosmith back in 1978. Watch closely for a Weird Al cameo as well.
Tyler also performed "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way."
There were no streamers, no confetti and no countdown to midnight for "Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood this year -- because TMZ has learned the jail she's currently in didn't celebrate New Year's Eve ... at all.
According to law enforcement sources, Madison County Jail in Indiana did not do anything to mark the New Year. We're told visiting hours on Saturday were only from 7:00-7:30 PM, but Portwood had no visitors on the schedule.
But don't worry, Amber wasn't alone. Our sources tell us that due to overcrowding, Amber has been transferred out of the cell she shared with one other inmate ... and into a room with several other inmates -- whose convictions range from probation violation to dealing a controlled substance.
And if you think Amber just put her head down and caught some shut eye on NYE, think again -- as part of moving into that large room, instead of a bed ... she slept on a vinyl mattress that sits on a concrete floor.
Vanessa Bryant is single and ready to mingle -- and TMZ has learned she'll be spending her New Year's Eve at a VIP table in one of the hottest clubs in Las Vegas.
According to our sources, Vanessa has reservations at Surrender, which is located inside the Encore hotel. It's the same hotel Paris Hilton was spotted at earlier this week.
We're told Vanessa has booked a table for herself and a slew of female friends. No guys will be part of the group ... but we're guessing she won't have a hard time finding some.
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
