Calling all photo students! Miami New Times is recruiting for its Spring 2013 Photo Intern Program. By “student,” we do not mean “a student of life.” There’s no cash offered with this gig, only credits. Don’t bother applying if this doesn’t apply to you. Still interested? Read on! Interns work…
To most viewers, the celebrity-studded “Demand a Plan” public service announcement video released in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, was just an instance of Hollywood adding its voice to the nationwide cry for change. But at least one person, a YouTube user calling himself…
Latina hottie Eva Longoria may be best known for playing one of the titular spoiled brats on the TV series Desperate Housewives. But she’s not just another pretty face in Hollywood. Between posing in skimpy lingerie for the cover of GQ and ranking high on People magazine’s “Most Beautiful” list,…
Few cultural phenomenons offer so many costume choices as The Wizard of Oz. You could go the obvious route, donning gingham, pigtails, and ruby slippers to become Dorothy. You could throw on a lion’s mane, stuff your shirt with a bag of straw, or wear a metal funnel as a…
The holidays are finally over, and not a moment too soon. Remember how excited you were to spend time with your family, eat fattening foods, and have nothing to do during the holidays this year? Now, you’re just stressed out after spending time with your family, eating fattening foods, and…
If you’re a Florida State fan, congrats to you and your Seminoles for winning last night’s Orange Bowl as expected. (And our sympathies for your morning-after hangover.) If you were rooting for Northern Illinois, on the other hand, your Cinderella story is over. And you’re probably feeling a little crushed…
2012 was a good year for Sofia Vergara, with her show, Modern Family, continuing its popularity and a marriage proposal from then-boyfriend Nick Loeb in August. But if yesterday’s New York Post story is accurate, 2013 might be a little rockier. The Post reports that Loeb got into fights with…
In June, we told you about Jonathan Lee Riches’ insane theories that Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and the rest of her reality star family are Al Qaeda members. Turns out, he’s not alone in his habit of wacky Kardashian conspiracy theorizing — especially now that she’s Kanye West’s baby mama…
Welcome to 2013, art lovers. It’s the start of another year of watching the Magic City’s cultural scene grow and shift in exciting and unexpected ways. And if you’re an artist who wants to become a bigger part of that world in the coming year, we have a proposition for…
It’s been a good year, Miami. Sure, we’ve had our disappointments. CSI: Miami was canceled, meaning we’ll never hear another so-bad-it’s-really-bad-but-also-kind-of-great Horatio Caine pun. The Kardashians received the key to North Miami, embarrassing us all. Local tattoo goddess Tatu Baby did not win Ink Master. But we’ve had a bounty…
Kim Kardashian: Just another victim of Miami’s sexy ambiance? After a stint living in North Miami to film her upcoming reality show, Kardashian is reportedly pregnant. Kanye West, who’s been dating Kardashian publicly since March, announced the happy news at his concert in Atlantic City on Sunday night, singing, “Now…
From the original comic-book hero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962, to revised versions of Peter Parker on film and in videogames, all the way to his latest incarnation as Miles Morales, a half-black, half-Hispanic teenager, Spider-Man has had one hell of an evolution. But if you’re…
The year 2012: It’s been a good one for Miami’s arts scene. Art Basel and many of its satellite fairs enjoyed financial success. Borscht Corp. hosted what most people agree was its greatest film festival to date. Construction’s well underway on the new museum park, Tom Wolfe wrote a novel…
I hadn’t seen The Nutcracker since I was a little girl. That performance, staged at the university that anchored the Western Pennsylvania town where I grew up, made only the lightest impression on me at the time. Other than there being a gigantic nutcracker statue and a very confusing plot…
This morning’s just filled with good news. First of all, the world didn’t end. Secondly, you’re likely looking at four whole days off when you clock out of work today. And lastly, but perhaps most exciting, it’s Mastermind Awards season again. New Times’ Mastermind Awards seeks to give back to…
The first trailer for Pain & Gain, the Michael Bay pet project starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson and filmed in Miami, was released yesterday. And before you put your film snob nose in the air at the idea of Bay, Johnson, and Wahlberg collaborating, you might want to watch…
There are holiday traditions you dread, like suffering through a crowded Christmas mass or helping your handsy Aunt Victoria get to bed after she’s had a few too many. And then there are the ones you can’t wait to experience again, like George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, presented annually by Miami…
There is no greater Christmas movie than A Christmas Story. Don’t even try to argue the point. Forget the shmaltzy sap of Miracle on 34th Street and the pathetic vulgarity of Bad Santa. Love Actually is a rom-com cheesefest, It’s a Wonderful Life is about a guy who wants to…
When Good Morning America imitated the dance, they said “Gangnam Style” was over. When PSY taught Ellen Degeneres and Britney Spears the dance on TV, they said “Gangnam Style” was over. When NFL on Fox parodied the video, they said “Gangnam Style” was over. But “Gangnam” Style will never ever…
Downtown Miami’s about to get another exciting upgrade. Renowned architect Zaha Hadid will design her first skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere across from the new Museum Park, investors Gregg Covin and Louis Birdman announced yesterday. The new tower will rise at 1000 Biscayne Blvd., on the site of the current…
Christmas in South Florida isn’t exactly your traditional celebration. There’s no softly falling snow, no chestnuts roasting on open fires, and hot cocoa just doesn’t taste the same in 80-degree weather. But the folks behind Hialeah Haikus, the collection of funny-because-it’s-true verse that made Miami actually want to read poetry…
When Borscht 8 wrapped up Saturday night, just about every person pouring out of the Arsht Center had a smile on his face. The festival, which screened 20 films in total, drew a sizable, vocal crowd who cheered on their favorite films and filmmakers. And with good reason — even…
