The act of popular ’90s musicians scheduling and subsequently postponing tour stops in South Florida continues. Following a trend perfected earlier this year by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eddie Vedder has regrettably postponed his upcoming 15-city U.S. solo tour “due to temporary nerve damage” in the legendary Pearl Jam…

While you may rot in hell for eating…
Not Demi, but Justin. “Backwoods” country singer Justin Moore thinks Ashton Kutcher was out of line by showing up at the American Country Music Awards this past weekend dressed like a rodeo clown, rocking a goofy cowboy hat and even goofier red suit. After Sunday night’s ACM Awards, Moore suckered…
WWLD–What Would Laz Do? We’ve been asking ourselves that question since DJ Laz severed ties with Power 96, a radio station he helped build into what it is today, Miami’s true party station… if you’re party’s in Kendall or Hialeah. Nevertheless, Lazaro Mendez’s voice will be sorely missed. So again,…
Despite the fact that winter came to a close last month, a few Canadian snowbirds still linger in South Florida, many of whom are eager to catch Alberta’s beloved FC Edmonton take on our very own Florida Strikers in a North American League Soccer showdown. On Saturday at 7:30 p.m.,…

Today however, it’s not Khia’s neck,…

Granted, we’re only two days deep into April, but a…

Last night, while we watched Taylor Swift walk away with another Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year award, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences was…
