Nick Cannon has fallen ill and he’s “fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure,” according to wife Mariah Carey. The singer posted a picture on her website of the America’s Got Talent host inside an Aspen hospital rocking a blue beanie and general look of discontent. Carey — who’s…
50 Cent is dying. “I’ll be honest,” 50 Cent tweeted January 2, “I don’t think I’m gonna live much longer. That’s why I started my street king movement.” The 36-year-old rapper isn’t terminally ill. He’s just “conscious that life is short” and admittedly “not suicidal.” Nevertheless, Curtis Jackson has been…
Drug addiction? Check. Liver transplant? Oh yeah. Hepatitis C? Big deal. At 64 years old, Gregg Allman’s been through a lot of shit. But for the Nashville-born, Georgia-based Southern rocker, slowing down is not an option. Last January, Allman released his first solo album in 14 years, Low Country Blues,…
Of the estimated 14 million people that visit Miami each year, about 300,000 of them flock to the Big Mango during President’s Day Weekend. And Nick Korniloff is confident that number includes a “culturally and socially savvy art-buying audience.” Korniloff is fair director and partner for Art Wynwood, Art Miami…
While y’all were nursing a hangover on New Year’s Day, one newly engaged musician kicked off 2012 with a topless Hawaiian snorkeling adventure. This rock ‘n’ roller’s chest looks great for a 63-year-old woman but alarmingly droopy for a 63-year-old man. Sadly, however, this person is in much better shape…
VIP this, general admission that … New Year’s Eve is totally overrated. Why deal with hoards of drunk buffoons sporting ridiculously goofy 2012 sunglasses, overpriced prix-fixe menu options, and endless DUI checkpoints when you can slip into your Forever Lazy and ring in the New Year from your fallout shelter…
It’s the last weekend of 2011/first weekend of 2012. If you haven’t already spent your Christmas bonus on a gaudy pair of Tory Burch flats (ladies) or bulky Air Jordan XI Concords (fellas), there are plenty of ways to burn through a couple hundred bucks over the next few days…
We did it, y’all. We survived another year, managed to dodge creditors and demented ex-girlfriends, held a steady (albeit low-paying) job in a recession. We even occupied Wall Street. With just two days left in 2011, we’re encouraging everyone to get rowdy. Go ball so hard it makes “Niggas in…
Can a columnist get a table dance? One-time 2 Live Crew capo and Miami-Dade County mayoral candidate Luther Campbell celebrated his 51st birthday last week. But the New Times contributor isn’t calling it quits just yet. Tomorrow night, Uncle Luke’s hosting an NYE weekend birthday bash alongside 99 Jamz’s Felicia…
A waft of stale Coors Banquet and Camel cigarette smoke smacks you like a schoolyard sucker punch, temporarily clouding your vision and watering your eyes. A generic blend of 1970s Americana shuffles through the jukebox as 40-something-year-old divorcee waitresses deliver greasy baskets of cheese burgers and french fries to high-top…
With just a few days left in 2011, we can’t help but predict what 2012 has in store. Will the world come to an end? Maybe. Will Barack Obama be re-elected? Hopefully. Will the Miami Heat dominate the NBA? Of course. But what about the music world? What changes will…
The Orange Drive Music Festival lineup reads like a Now That’s What I Call Music compilation, a Top 40 extravaganza fit for late-night television commercials sandwiched between Teen Mom and Jersey Shore: ten radio-friendly acts neatly packaged into three crazy, consecutive nights — two in 2011, one in 2012. Resurfacing…
It’s been heralded as the Tournament of Roses Parade’s outrageously inappropriate Cuban-American cousin, a frighteningly satirical afternoon peppered with conch-shell headgear and semiprofessional kazoo ensembles. Backed by a bipartisan committee of disorganizers, the King Mango Strut parade has prided itself on putting the nut back in Coconut Grove since 1982…
Tiësto. Unless you’ve lived under a soundproof rock since the mid ’90s, you know that this Grammy-nominated Dutch beat maker is one of the biggest electro acts of the modern dance era. He’s been crowned world’s best DJ a staggering three times consecutively. Dude’s a light-eyed BPM pimp, the 40th…
Tiesto at LIV December 29
Bardot and DFA Records sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G… After celebrating its 10th Anniversary with Holy Ghost!, Nancy Whang, and Juan MacLean at Bardot, DFA Records’ love affair with the Midtown lounge has literally reached telenovela-level hotness. Miami’s best neighborhood bar 2010 just announced that The Crystal Ark, a DFA…
Often associated with violent street crime, urban decay, and N.W.A., South Central Los Angeles is generally considered a residential wasteland, the type of gritty, big-city neighborhood where dreams die and poverty prevails. During the early ’90s, it was the epicenter of the Rodney King scandal, inspired countless West Coast rap…
Gilbert Gottfried is a Jewish-American institution. He’s not just any Jew, but the self-proclaimed “most obnoxious” one in the world, a role Gottfried says he’s “fighting to keep” after more than 30 years in the industry.”Oh dammit, I was trying to keep the fact that I was Jewish secret all…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — and Hanukkah. Quite literally, actually. We’re in the middle of the Festival of Lights and just two days away from Jesus’ alleged birthday. Whether you’re held up at your parents’ house this weekend or stuck at an airport, happy holidays from…
What’d your Christmas list look like this year? We asked Santa for web hits, a pay raise, and a three-and-a-half foot masseuse on 24-hour standby. Wishful thinking indeed! But a blog can dream, can’t it? Quite frankly, we’re tired of ballin’ on a budget. We want to make it rain,…
Rick Ross. Two words, two syllables, and one hardcore boss. Over that past 12 months, the Maybach Music capo effortlessly managed to make 2011 his bitch, surviving two seizures and a Kreyashawn diss along the way. He expanded his investment portfolio, adding Wingstop franchisee to his resume. And along with…
Christmas came early indeed. According to a press release sent moments ago to Crossfade, Lenny Kravitz “is pleased to announce dates for his first American tour in five years!” Best of all, dude’s got a gig in the Big Mango. The “nearly 20-city tour” kicks off at New York City’s…
