Have you missed the brooding gaze of Ike Evans? When you sleep, do you dream of Jessica Marais in a bikini? Are you considering starting a Kickstarter campaign to turn the Miramar Playa set into a real, modern-day hotel? Good news: Magic City’s second season begins in two short months,…
Hey, Miami. Yeah, you — the one with the 80-pound backpack and Coke-bottle glasses. Quit your LARPing, put down that Dr. Who fan fiction, and get over here. It’s wedgie time. Why? Because you’re not the cool kid we thought you were. According to real estate blog Movoto, you’re the…
Starring on The Real Housewives of Miami didn’t make Lea Black faaahbulous, darling. It’s the other way around. The blonde powerhouse with razor-sharp quips is a huge part of what’s made the TV series a guilty pleasure for viewers around the world. Besides, she was a big deal here in…
The last time James Franco was in Miami on a cultural mission, it was to show his own art at OHWOW’s Art Basel satellite fair. That might be where Franco hooked up with fellow OHWOW exhibitor Harmony Korine, who later directed a cornrowed, gold-toothed Franco in this year’s Spring Breakers…
Rebel Wilson is having, as Hollywood types say, a moment. She’s fresh off a successful turn as the funniest person in Pitch Perfect, she’s due to host the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday, and her new film, Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain (which, you may have heard, is based on…
So you want to support Miami culture, but — like most artists — you’re dead broke. You can’t buy a $200 painting from your buddy’s new art space, let alone a $200,000 masterpiece at Art Basel. Happily, there are plenty of free ways to support the scene: showing up to…
Where were you in 2005? ? Geeking out over Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith? Threatening to move to Canada after the second inauguration of George W. Bush? Saving up for tickets to the Destiny’s Child world tour? We’re pretty sure we know what the guys of ElectroChronic…
Legendary film critic Roger Ebert died of cancer yesterday at age 70. For almost half a century, Ebert’s sharp assessments and lovable humor guided America’s film audiences, through his post as film critic at the Chicago Sun-Times, his TV shows with Gene Siskel (and later, Richard Roeper), and his film…
Each morning, your hardworking New Times staff trudges into our new offices at the Wynwood Building. We are haggard and hungover, bags under our eyes, wearing wrinkled button-downs and jeans that smell like the bar from last night. We were up late finishing feature stories or covering club events or…
Busta busted into the restaurant close to 6 a.m. and demanded to cut the line to get his food faster.
Baseball season is upon us, but here in Miami, there might be more fans singing “Take Me Out to the Ballet.” That’s because legendary catcher (and former Florida Marlin) Mike Piazza will take the stage with Miami City Ballet next month. Yes, really. He’ll portray the Gangster in Miami City…
Remember Friday, when all the office drones of the country could talk about was Game of Thrones’ new season, which was just days away? There were interviews with cast members. There were items for sale on Etsy. There were facial hair power rankings. Anticipation was high. Then the first episode…
As wise man, Game of Thrones creator, and nerd demigod George R.R. Martin once said, “The stronger the beard, the stronger the man.” Okay, he didn’t really say that. But judging from the characters he created (and by Martin’s own bushy chinpiece), it’s fair to assume that statement is part…
You already know that briefly adopting adorable bunnies for Easter, only to ditch them at a shelter or in the wild a couple months down the road, makes you a horrible monster. It also means you’re missing the point of Easter. No, not the blessed resurrection of our lord and…
As Pain & Gain, Michael Bay’s upcoming movie based on a New Times story, gets closer and closer to its release date, the staff here in the office has become slowly but surely divided. In one corner, the optimists — those who saw the original trailer for the film and…
If you’ve spent an afternoon on the South Beach shoreline, you’ve seen vendors wandering through the beach towels and chairs hawking henna tattoos. They typically target spring breakers and other tourists, promising a safe, temporary alternative to having your drunken, debauched weekend etched on your skin for a lifetime. But…
Here’s the thing about Real Housewives drama: Just when you think it’s all been settled, some new issue rears up and bitch-slaps you across the face. So if you thought the beef between Lisa Hochstein and the Miami Design Preservation League ended when the reality star and her “Boob God”…
Nobody likes moving. All the boxes and cleaning and manual labor? Sometimes, it seems easier to just stay put. But in hindsight, now that New Times is fully settled into our new digs at the Wynwood Building, it was all worth it. And we’re ready to celebrate with you, Shots…
It’s no secret that Pinterest is the devil. It’s a time-sucking, hetero-normative, copyright-infringing vanity site that appears to exist to make women feel bad about their appearances and subpar crafting skills. It also skews heavily toward women. That, apparently, was unacceptable to men — straight men who hate paying attention…
The next season of Real Housewives of Miami is going to be a lot less toothy. Dr. Karent Sierra, the dentist who smiled relentlessly through season two of the show, has declared that her first Real Housewives experience will also be her last, RumorFix reports. Sierra told Real Mr. Housewife…
The headline says it all, really. Miami person Flo Rida spanked Florida model, cat daddy champion, and frostbite victim Kate Upton during a performance at a technology convention Wednesday. According to TMZ, this performance took place at a “Spring 2013 Launch Party” thrown by Samsung at the Museum of American…
You should never give alcohol to an animal. While most of us humans have figured out how not to kill ourselves by overindulging in the pleasures of booze, animals don’t know when to say when. Some say it’s because they have smaller brain capacities; others believe it’s simply because they…
