Miami

Drake's been in a giving mood this week, and one of his 5-figure gifts will help women and children in Miami for years to come ... TMZ has learned.

Drizzy dropped by Lotus House -- Miami's only shelter for homeless women and children -- and dished out toys and games to 140 kids Tuesday. He also handed out $150 Target gift cards to 130 women, and cut a $50,000 check for the organization.

We're told the money will go directly toward funding the group's new shelter, which recently opened and holds 500 beds.

Lotus House President Constance Collins told us the "God's Plan" rapper's donation will "nourish bodies, minds and spirits of homeless women and children who are among the most vulnerable in our community." She added ... Drake's timing is perfect.

Drake's charity spree has also included spending $50k on groceries for random Miami shoppers, a $50k donation check to one happy student at the University of Miami and $25k to a high school.

Timbaland knows value when he sees it ... that's why he dropped FOUR MILLION BUCKS for a condo that's still under construction.

The mega hitmaker spent a small fortune on this plush Miami crib in the 53-story Aria on the Bay building that's nearing completion. Timbaland's oasis is a 6-bedroom, 8-bathroom pad that will include 2 private elevators. The new digs will be finished in about 2 months.

The condo's interior will be a sprawling 4,700 square feet and the terrace alone -- with unobstructed bay and ocean views -- is an expansive 1,200 square feet. The building's 648 luxury condos also have access to baller amenities -- pools, hot tubs, fire pits, private spa, and an indoor/outdoor bar.

How baller's the building? Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton bought a penthouse there.

Matthew McConaughey's just a beach bum these days ... who happened to find his way on stage with Jimmy Buffett to dance along to one of his legendary island jams.

The Oscar-winning actor's in Miami shooting for his upcoming film, "The Beach Bum" ... and showed off his groovy moves while Buffett played his hit song, "Volcano," during one of the scenes.

McConaughey plays a rebellious stoner named Moondog in the Harmony Korine film, and judging by the vid ... Moondog's in paradise when Buffett's rocking out.

"The Beach Bum" comes out in 2018.

Gabrielle Union gets what Gabrielle Union wants -- even if that means shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for street art.

Gabrielle was doing an interview to promote a book at the Epic Hotel in Miami, where an art exhibit was also going down at the Avant Gallery.

Gabrielle stumbled in and came across 17-year-old street artist Skyler Grey's artwork -- a painting of famed NYC artist Jean-Michel Basquiat as Juan Ponce de Leon. He calls it "King Jean Michel."

Gabby liked what she saw and dropped $40k for the 50" x 65" piece ... straight-up.

Matthew McConaughey was barely recognizable Monday on the set of his new flick, "The Beach Bum" ... although the role doesn't look like much of a stretch.

Matt's down in Miami shooting the new flick where he plays Moondog ... a dude who "lives life by his own rules." We smell some serious method acting. Isla Fisher is also in it, but her look's more apocalyptic than beach-y.

Saying McConaughey was born to play this role would be an understatement.

Remember, the man's already got his Oscar ... he can take whatever role he wants.

Hurricane Irma is poised to wreak havoc in the Miami area, and a bunch of enormous celebrity homes are in the line of extreme danger.

Gloria Estefan, Diddy, and 'Real Housewives of Miami' stars Roy and Lea Black all own homes on star-studded Star Island -- Gloria actually has 2 -- both in Irma's path.

Likewise for nearby Miami Beach, where celebs like Phil Collins, Shakira, Dwyane Wade, and Birdman are in the hurricane's path. Same goes for the Villa Casa Casuarina -- the famed Versace mansion. And there are a slew of other celebs with mega homes in the danger zone.

Irma's expected to hit with a vengeance over the weekend.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez do EVERYTHING together now ... including celebrating their birthdays, and she even got him on the dance floor for the event.

The couple hung out with friends and family Saturday night in Miami for a massive birthday party -- hers is July 24 and his is July 27 -- and while J Lo always has on her dancing shoes ... we don't normally see A-Rod cut loose. Dating Jennifer clearly changes a man.

Things to look for in this video:
- A-Rod & J Lo's "Sweet Caroline" singalong
- Towering double birthday cake
- Jennifer's killer see-through outfit

And don't let 'em fool you ... Jenny's still from the block, which she proved with some ass-shaking moves when the DJ put on her song, "Ain't It Funny."

Selena Weber and Lauren Ashley brought several swimsuit options for their Miami trip ... and they keep revealing more about themselves with every outfit change.

The models have been hitting the beach for a few days now, and they hit everyone with a double shot of their backsides Tuesday ... especially Selena.

Scott Disick got a better vacay offer than hanging with Kourtney and the rest of the Kardashians -- and we got some awesome shots of said better offer.

Scott popped up in Miami on Monday with a very young looking hot chick ... on the beach and in the pool at the Setai Hotel. She's cheeky, for sure.

Just a couple days ago, Scott was chilling in Costa Rica with Kourtney and their kids. He even proudly posted a pic.

But obviously, there's only so long Disick can hang in that situation -- before returning to his natural habitat.

The Lord is back ... on the prowl.

Stitches learned karma's a bitch after parking in a handicap space, because cops busted him for gun and drug charges ... as he was backing out of the spot.

According to the police report, officers spotted the rapper's Porsche pulling out of a Miami Whole Foods lot Wednesday night. Cops immediately recognized Stitches from previous arrests -- he has a unique face -- and asked if he had a gun. He said no.

However, he did immediately hand over a rolled up, slightly burnt joint ... according to cops. When they searched the car, they found a Glock under his seat and 2 magazines of ammo. Cops say he apologized and said he thought they were asking if he had a gun ON him ... not IN his car.

Must've been a potent strain he was smoking.

Cops say they also found a mason jar filled with 39.2 grams of weed and one oxycodone pill, no prescription. He was booked for felony gun and weed possession.

Here we have 4 Victoria's Secret Angels in their natural habitat -- basking in the sun and getting a little closer ... while wearing the least amount of lingerie legally allowed in public.

Josephine Skriver, Sara Sampaio, Elsa Hosk and Lais Ribeiro got together for the shoot in Miami, and warmed up quickly for the task at hand.

Here's Bethenny Frankel trying her best to relax poolside in Miami.

Bethenny to friend: Does this bikini make my boobs fall out?

Friend: Yes.

Bethenny: Perfect.

Paris Hilton and vodka did NOT go well together for once when a spilled drink screwed up her DJ gig in Miami -- but at least the crowd got to watch her play handywoman.

P was doing a set at Wall for Art Basel, and just when she had the club jumping ... someone doused her laptop with booze!

She was cool about it at first, but check out Paris filling time and trying to direct repairs. Somehow they got it sorted out after about 10 minutes.

Taylor Swift ballyhooed her star power Tuesday night by calling up onstage most of the iconic stars in Miami.

Pitbull, Ricky Martin and Dwayne Wade joined Taylor and Wade paid the appropriate homage by presenting Swifty with her own lucky-numbered Heat jersey.

Back to Gloria Estefan ... what the ****?

Lil Wayne got dissed by Diddy's posse in Miami, and it came thiiis close to blowing up into a replay of Drake and Chris Brown's infamous bloody nightclub battle.

This time the drama went down in LIV Nightclub at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Sunday night. Sources in the club tell us Wayne walked over to say hello to Diddy, who was in a VIP booth next to the DJ.

The beef started when Diddy's security stopped Weezy and wanted to search his posse. We're told Wayne didn't take kindly to that ... ended up spilling his drink on a bodyguard, and then things escalated quickly -- with both posses shoving each other.

We're told Wayne and Diddy got in the middle of the fray, and there was a lot of yelling back and forth ... but ultimately cooler heads prevailed. They ended up shaking hands, walking away -- and, based on the vid in the club, having a great night.

Big difference from Diddy's run-in with Drake in LIV last year.

Shemar Moore engaged in some all-American guy fun -- flashing his sexy, rippling muscles on South Beach ... just long enough to get CRUSHED into the sand by another dude.

The "Criminal Minds" star kicked off his holiday early -- chilling with his cousin, who is such a MASSIVE slab o' man ... he tossed 6'1" Shemar around like a rag doll. A stupidly chiseled rag doll, but still ...
