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.

Shaquille O'Neal Hilariously 'Saved' By Group Of Kids ... 'Drowning' In Pool
A group of hero kids did their best Baywatch impression over the weekend, rescuing a "drowning" Shaquille O'Neal (don't worry, he was pretending!), and bringing the gigantic NBA legend to safety at a resort pool in Hawaii.
Don't worry -- Shaq's totally fine! But, he did have some fun in Honolulu over the weekend, where the Big Fella was in town to DJ at The Republik.
O'Neal had some downtime, so he hit up the pool ... where he was spotted by a group of kids. The 7'1 legend is a tough man to miss.
A fan named Daniel Chavez got the interaction on video ... showing Shaq playing with about ten kids in the pool, before pretending to drown so they could save the 7'1, 300+ pound behemoth.
Needless to say, all Shaq had to do was stand up.
Fans thought it was hilarious and adorable at the same time ... with one writing, "There is no better celebrity when it comes to interaction with everyday civilians better than Shaq."
"He genuinely loves his fans and people. He treats everyone the same no matter where he is or what he doing‼️"
Chavez also shared a video of DJ Diesel on the turn tables during what he does best (outside of hoops) at his sold-out event.
Shaq once again showing why he's the best!

Steve-O Jumps Off Tower of London Bridge ... Cops Detain Him Over Stunt

Exclusive

Steve-O taking a plunge from one of London's famous landmarks has him in hot water with cops ... who were waiting for him moments after he splashed into the River Thames.
The "Jackass" star tells TMZ ... he's in England to tape his third comedy special, so on Thursday he jumped off the Tower of London Bridge and was promptly detained by cops.
TMZ obtained video of the crazy stunt, and you see Steve-O counting down in front of a crowd before jumping off the bridge ... all while decked out in all sorts of Union Jack gear, including an umbrella.
Steve-O says he spent a good portion of the afternoon in a police car and says cops told him their issue with his stunt is it might encourage others to make suicidal leaps from the famed bridge.
In the end, Steve-O says police let him go, and, as far as he's concerned, the craziest part wasn't the jump ... it's the state of the Thames.
Steve-O says the river was absolutely filthy ... which probably isn't a great combo with the new big tattoo he's sporting on his leg. Dirty water isn't exactly great for open wounds.
The bridge jump wasn't Steve-O's only stunt of the trip ... he says he also jumped off one of those famous double-decker buses, which he considered much worse than the bridge jump. Yeah, pavement makes for a tougher landing than water.
You're welcome, England ... for the crash course in entertainment.
Cheerio!!!

Brittany Mahomes Under Fire For Playdate With Dolphin ... PETA, Fans Go Scorched Earth
Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, has found herself in the crosshairs of animal rights activists this week ... after she went on a vacation playdate with a dolphin.
Brittany had the meetup with the marine mammal several days ago while out in Hawaii with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback ... but after she posted photos of the swim on her Instagram on Monday, fans went on the attack.
Dozens have left comments on the NFL star's wife's social media page ... ripping her for the outing -- and calling it cruel to the dolphin. PETA later jumped in, too.
"We know you love companion animals," the activist org. wrote in a lengthy note on Brittany's page, "but we hope to see you extend your compassion to marine life too."
In her photos, Brittany can be seen hugging, petting and even kissing the dolphin. At one point during her swim with the animal, she brought her 2-year-old into the water to get close to the sea creature as well.
In its note, PETA told Brittany none of it was healthy for the dolphin ... adding, "These types of interactions are dangerous for them AND us."
Brittany clearly didn't seem to believe she did anything wrong ... she captioned her pictures with "Ever snuggled a 400lbs dolphin?" She added a heart-eyed emoji as well.
She hasn't addressed the swim and its backlash publicly further.
