My colleagues argue that the Beaches, both North and South, are the best neighborhoods in Miami-Dade. Which is fine, I suppose, if you’re the kind of person who wants to drag sand into your tiny apartment every afternoon and whatever boozy hookup you picked up every night. It’s a fun…

If President Obama’s nomination of William Thomas is confirmed, Thomas would become the first openly gay, black man to serve as a federal judge. Senator Marco Rubio, the man who first recommended Thomas to Obama, however, is now blocking the nomination over his concerns with Thomas’s “temperament.” Well, now a…
Porter Fisher, the former Biogenesis employee who provided documents to Miami New Times to help blow open the massive Major League Basbeball PED scandal, stored boxes of documents related to the case in the trunk of his Toyota Camry. This past March, while Fisher was getting a spray tan in…
We’ve come to associate former The Price Is Right host Bob Barker with one simple but steadfast political belief: “Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.” But apparently it’s not just the price that’s right. Barker’s politics are too, and he’s starring in a new TV…
The Marlins have traded first baseman Logan Morrison to the Seattle Mariners. At this point, most Miamians react to anything the Marlins do with a collective shrug, but this –THIS!– is different. We’re losing not only a first baseman but also a local Twitter superstar. In fact, Morrison’s tweet addiction…

Gloria and Emilio Estefan are already pretty much the unofficial King and Queen of Miami, but the county commission is moving forward with a plan to give the regal couple officially recognized titles. If all goes as planned the couple is expected to be named Miami-Dade’s first official cultural and…
Earlier this week, David Beckham’s investment group, Beckham Brand Limited, officially registered a new corporate entity in Miami called Miami Beckham United, which has led some to believe that this odd title could be the name of the Major League Soccer team he eventually brings to Miami…
When Jennifer Ann Lee, 29, was found passed out behind the wheel at an intersection in Bradenton, Florida, she told a police officer: “It happens.” Well, yeah, when you’ve been huffing whippets all day, all sorts of crazy things happen…
Fox News predicted that President Obama’s handshake with Raul Castro “could rile Cuban-American lawmakers,” and Marco Rubio and Ilean Ros-Lehtinen have sure enough delivered. According to the Hill, Rubio isn’t so much angry that the handshake took place, but rather that Obama didn’t take the opportunity to lecture Castro…

It takes a special level of lawyerly obnoxiousness to get a Miami-Dade circuit judge to declare, “Oh my God, I’m done. Goodbye. Not doing this,” in the middle of a hearing. That very level of obnoxiousness has gotten South Florida lawyer Jeffrey Norkin suspended by the Florida Supreme Court for…
During Nelson Mandela’s funeral this morning, President Obama shook the hand of Cuban leader Raúl Castro. It’s not completely unprecedented. Bill Clinton shook Fidel Castro’s hand in New York in 2000. It’s still an odd sight. But what does it mean? Of course, the internet is buzzing with people trying…

Over the years, several Americans have sought refuge in Fidel Castro’s Cuba for legal and political reasons, but until now, no one has tried to do so because they’re afraid of Paris Hilton. In case you missed Art Basel week’s stupidest celebrity gossip, let’s get you caught up. Actress Lindsay…
No one is sure if Alex Rodriguez will ever play another Major League Baseball game again, but it looks like he might have a promising back-up career as a Miami Beach real estate flipper. A-Rod bought a new condo unit in Midbeach’s Mei building this past June for $2.1 million…
Fashion photography is usually meant to have a lifespan of about a month. Once next month’s issue comes out and next season’s clothes debut the image loses its relevancy. Photography duo Hunter & Gatti, who have shot for Flaunt magazine and international editions of Vogue, decided to find a second…
