The latest musician – turning – movie star is Rihanna. As soon as she finishes her Last Girl On Earth Tour, which lands in Miami this Saturday at the American Airlines Arena, she’s set to star in director Peter Berg’s (Hancock) film adaptation of that game we all loved as a kid: Battleship…
Whether or not we’d actually admit to it in public, we can’t look away from the train wreck that is Jersey Shore. It’s just one of those shows we love to hate and can’t stop imitating or deriding.Everywhere we look lately, we see the Situation fist-pumping, JWoww getting into a fistfight,…
We’ve all been there: There’s a really cool music documentary that’s just been released, and it’s not showing anywhere in Miami — or worse, it’s only being screened one day and at one time, which aren’t really convenient. Luckily, this time around the Internet’s making real-life geography irrelevant.Recently we’ve seen…
When we imagine models walking down the runway, we don’t usually think of conga drums, barefoot dancers, and models that actually look happy. Aren’t models supposed to look like they’re either trying to seduce you or punch you in the face? Well, that’s not the case with Miami Beach swimwear…
We all heard electronic music legends Daft Punk were going to compose a full-length score for the movie Tron: Legacy last year, but we kind of took it with a grain of salt. I mean sure, Tron is all about robots, and some of the costumes look really similar to…
If you’re a fan of getting your conspiracy theories and government leaks first, you’ve probably heard of WikiLeaks. The international organization publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive documents while keeping their sources’ anonymity. They’ve been around for a while already, but the website has now possibly made history, publishing…
Grateful Dead fans can now rejoice! Jerry Garcia is making it to the big screen. Well, sort of. The late Jerry Garcia that we’ve all heard of or grown up listening to will not make it to the big screen himself, for obvious reasons. Neither will the persona that we’ve…
Remember when we told you about that social media scavenger hunt you’d have to go on to get tickets to a social media fiesta with booze provided by @SmirnoffMiami, music by @RkmyKeny, and everything live-tweeted by your Twitter jockey, @ManuGabaldon? Well, we have an even easier way for you to win passes…..
It’s the 1940s. You jump out of your Cadillac convertible to lay out on el Varadero, sip some mojitos, and get some sun. Nicole Di Rocco has made such time travel possible with her funky line of Cuba-inspired bikinis. It’s not just the cuts that are Cuban retro – some…
Anyone that’s already gotten tickets for Crystal Castles’ performance at Grand Central on September 11, probably has an idea of what they’re getting themselves into. Sure, lead vocalist of the electronic dance duo, Alice Glass, has a tendency to drunkenly stumble on stage and slur her words while she’s performing,…
Okay, we get it, Drake. You’re good looking. You give us those smoldering glances and tell us we’re the “best you ever had,” and we melt. But you may have pushed the wrong buttons, now. The singer’s caused riots, controversies, lawsuits with Playboy, and now well, he’s just plain old…
OK, so we all know how annoying it can be to plug in to social media sometimes, and have to check all of the outlets, sift through spam bots, junk tweets, retweets, and boring statuses. But what if all of the most interesting information that comes from your social media…
OK, folks. You can now breathe a sigh of relief — or of sadness if you love seeing models and reality stars strutting their stuff on the streets of South Beach. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim is officially over. The five-day runway marathon proved daunting for a lot of Miami newbies,…

You probably remember how much we love Major Lazer. After all, our very own Jose D. Duran gave us a visual primer on the duo and clued us in to the art of daggering before its local show this past May 15 at Grand Central. But now the twosome has slowed it…
We all know how frustrating finding a parking space in Miami can be — especially if you’re always running late in SoBe or the Design District. The only spots left are in $15+ lots, or garages five floors up. Not anymore, thanks to Android’s latest App, Open Spot…
Synth geniuses Cut Copy have mastered an electropop sound we just always want to dance to. The Australian-born band has toured with Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party and the great Daft Punk, and they’ve recently rejected offers to tour supporting artists like Lady Gaga, Nine Inch Nails and Coldplay. Their new…
There’s nothing we probably love more than a celebrity caught misbehaving. And this week’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim shows are certain to draw a crowd of A- to D-list stars into town.While most of us regular folk won’t be able to get into Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim to see the…
Look at your computer. Now back to me. Now back at your screen. Now at this post. Sadly, you aren’t this Old Spice guy featured in the video below, but if you read this post, he might just crack you up. Isaiah Mustafa probably looks familiar. Known mostly as “the…
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim isn’t just about hot bodies in teeny tiny swimwear. Okay, maybe it is. But these models have faces, people! And if you look up long enough, what you see may surprise you. Caking on the makeup probably isn’t the most realistic plan when trolling on South…
You’ve probably heard — no, you have heard — Katy Perry’s inescapable new collaboration with Snoop Dogg, the catchy, Dr. Luke-created “California Gurls.” And though Floridians can relate a lot to some of Perry’s lyrics about sunny weather and girls in bikinis, we can’t really call it our own personal…
As you’ve probably heard by now, next week’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim isn’t open to the public. (We know, freakin’ fashion elitists!) We’ll be there to be your eyes and ears, and to fill you in on the latest in swimwear trends as well as any celebrities sightings. (Think Jon…
