With a little more than two years left until the World Cup invades Brazil, soccer fever has infected that nation’s North American cousin, Miami-Dade County. More than 70,000 people watched Chivas Guadalajara upset FC Barcelona in a friendly match last year, and thousands caught the U.S. Men’s National team outscore…
Happy Ash Wednesday, y’all! Christians are just 46 days away from the celebration of their 1,979th Easter, commemorating the day when Jesus Christ allegedly resurrected from the dead and escaped his post-crucifixion resting place. The countdown begins ceremoniously with the imposition of ashes on the forehead and a vow to…
Disneyland, Walt Disney World Resort’s half-sibling on the West Coast, was dangerously unprepared for what hit them over the weekend. A seemingly inebriated 53-year-old patron with a mean right hook went ape shit at the Anaheim park — just outside the Tower of Terror, appropriately enough. A four-minute video (below)…
Rihanna celebrated her 24th birthday yesterday by dropping “Birthday Cake (Remix),” a sadomasochistic collaboration with abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. At just under four minutes long, “Birthday Cake (Remix)” is an uncomfortable trek into the former lovers’ highly volatile and incredibly kinky personal lives. We learn that Chris Brown “wants to…
Jesus loves electronic dance music. The bearded one with the ripped abs totally answered our prayer to have just one more day with Swedish House Mafia at the Masquerade Motel. A second day — Saturday, March 24 — has been announced. At 10 a.m. today, tickets for Day Two of…
The folks over at MTV News are the tits when it comes to milking arbitrary blog coverage for web hits. In December, Music Television’s news team assembled a March Madness-like bracket system to countdown Britney Spear’s 30 best videos. Over 1 million people voted and crowned “I’m A Slave 4…
Prior to his untimely death last March, “G-Funk’s most melodic homie” had several “hoes in different area codes.” And on at least one occasion, he and his “Bad Girls” kept it “G-A-N-G-S-T-A” by shooting a homemade porno. According to TMZ, there is a Nate Dogg sex tape that’s being “shopped…
It only took two hours for the inevitable to happen … Swedish House Mafia’s Masquerade Motel tickets sold out and opened a scalper floodgate. But don’t blow your paycheck just yet. Inside sources tell us that Swedish House will release another batch of tickets in the near future. So keep…
Swedish House Mafia’s Masquerade Motel is a go, and tickets for the two one-day event went on sale about an hour ago. Update: The event has sold out its first batch of tickets. But rather than going down on the sands of South Beach as it did last year (or…
Loverboy said it best: “Everybody’s workin’ for the weekend/Everybody wants a new romance/Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end/Everybody needs a second chance.” It’s true, y’all. As society, we really are just “workin’ for the weekend,” clocking it at 9 a.m., punching out at 5 p.m., and counting down the minutes…
Holy cold front, bro! It was mad frigid this week. Like, 50-degrees. WTF, Mother Nature? C’mon, we live in Miami, not Antarctica. So glad it’s getting back to normal, socks and sandals-type weather. It couldn’t happen at a better time. As y’all know, it’s President’s Day Weekend. And even though…
Octogenarians rejoice, fellow 80-something-year-old and Great Depression survivor Tony Bennett has just announced a two-night engagement at a South Florida casino.

Diana Ross is coming out to South Florida and she wants the world to know. The 67-year-old Motown singer is bringing her live show to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s Hard Rock Live venue on Thursday, February 23. And if she’s anything like her Supremes soul sister Mary…
The internet, a safe haven where perverts can download fetish porn and degenerates bet on sports. It’s an information superhighway trolled by digital pirates on the lookout for copyrighted gold and a place where everyone can be the star of their very own Truman Show. But on Saturday, February 18,…
Presidents’ Day weekend is so gnarly. We’re celebrating George Washington’s birthday like we do every year: harassing yacht brokers via telephone and inundating their electronic inboxes until they agree to take us on deep-sea test spin aboard one of the megayachts for sale at the Miami International Boat Show. Each…
It might seem curious that Budweiser is the title sponsor of a free-spirited, music-meets-wellness festival in Overtown celebrating “our collective soul and the magnetic energy that unites us as a planet.” But it really isn’t too far-fetched. After all, the “King of All Beers” is an alcoholic-beverage company, and like…

What’s better than Dave Matthews Band concert? An aneurism? Hemorrhoids? Bio-terrorism? No, hater, two Dave Matthews Band concerts! The South Africa-born, Virginia-based dad-rocker, winemaker and occasional actor announced a multi-city summer tour earlier today, a cross-continental trek that’ll Crash into funk rock hotspots like Noblesville, Indiana, Scranton, Pennsylvania and Saratoga…
Remember when we told you that LIV was among the highest-grossing nightclubs in America? Well, the reason this glossy Miami Beach joint gets so damn paid is because it books really dope backup acts like Major Lazer in case of an emergency. Originally, A-Trak was scheduled to appear tonight at…
Of all federal holidays, the third Monday in February is often welcomed with very little fanfare. With the exception of a month-long celebration in Alexandria, Virginia, and the annual George Fest in Eustis, Florida, Presidents’ Day has become a cheap excuse for auto dealers to offer “zero down and zero…
Bonnaroo unveiled its 2012 lineup moments ago with the random help of ESPN’s John Anderson. And according the SportsCenter funnyman, it’s going to be “crazy good.” Appearing in a YouTube video, Anderson pulls out a Roland AX-Synth from under his desk–a keytar he lovingly calls his battle-axe–and comically recalls the…
