Every morning, there’s a halo hanging from the corner of our girlfriend’s four post bed. Today, it’s soiled in sadness because Mark McGrath, lead singer of Sugar Ray and former Extra co-host, has canceled his Nineties Nostalgia cruise. Scheduled to depart from Miami in October, the ‘Mark McGrath and Friends’…
Of the over 8.2 million permanent inhabitants of New York City, and the nearly 51 million international and domestic tourists who visit each year, only one pinguo from Miami has around-the-clock protection from the city’s finest, the NYPD. That man is Rick Ross. According to TMZ (via Hip-Hop Wired), New…
“There is a reason I have a stage name,” Alejandro Rose-Garcia (AKA Shakey Graves) admits. “There is something to be said about performing outside of yourself. I feel that when a lot of people get onstage, they become a bigger version of themselves. It’s the classic becoming the band.” But…

Oh, Kanye… Mr. Kim Kardashian-in-waiting was performing at a show in France on Monday night when the Chicago MC decided to proverbially blow himself on stage, shooting a heavy load of arrogance from his cocky mouth and into the collective face of an unsuspecting Parisian crowd. “There’s no motherfuckin’ awards…
If a picture’s worth a thousand words, an electronic-dance-music site has to be in the neighborhood of $50 million, right? According to the New York Times, SFX Entertainment, which owns a stake in the Opium Group (Mansion, Set, Cameo) and is in the midst of negotiating a deal with Miami…
Coño, mira que ese Pitbull es tremendo tipo. The Miami-born, 305-based MC recently sat down with VEVO after becoming a 100 Million Certified artist, a distinction reserved exclusively for the website’s crème de la crème whose music videos have garnered more than 100 million views like Pit’s “Rain Over Me”…
Cottonmouth king and Miami-born U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is a sucker for good hip-hop. And as such, he thinks Lil Wayne Lame is simply a vehicle of mindless entertainment with little substance. TMZ caught up with the republican senator at Washington D.C.’s Reagan National Airport this morning and asked the…
First, it was a three-page open letter directed at some shitty rapper who said extraordinarily heinous things about a city that has unconditionally and inexplicably embraced his sorry ass. Now, Pepe Billete has rallied the troops yet again to continue the public shaming of a has-been MC in his latest…
Con los terroristas Cubanitos… Get it straight: When it comes to Miami-Dade County, Pitbull will “ride for [his] motherfuckin’ clique, die for [his] motherfuckin’ clique,” and “bust heads with [his] motherfuckin’ clique.” And if you “talk shit, watch [his] shit go click.” He’s not kidding. It’s not just a “305…
Chalk it under a simple misunderstanding with a side of armed robbery and aggravated assault; Maybach Music Group’s Gunplay will not be spending the rest of his days locked up behind bars for robbing his former accountant at gunpoint, TMZ reports, despite video surveillance that captured the entire violent encounter…
He may have the “Magic Stick,” but 50 Cent couldn’t find an opportunity to “hit once” nor “hit twice” while kicking it NASCAR-style at the Daytona 500 yesterday. Before the start of Sunday’s “Great American Race,” Fos reporter Erin Andrews was working the prerace beat when she spotted the G-Unit…
Stage-diving. It’s all fun and games until someone’s seriously injured, which is exactly what Matthew Graham says happened to him when Akon unleashed his inner Iggy Pop and dove off the stage at the BayFest music festival in Alabama, TMZ reports. According to a new lawsuit, the crippling stage-dive went…
There’s something inherently blue collar about working on cars. Grease stains. The inescapable smell of motor oil on calloused hands. Engine grit collecting under already dirty fingernails. The cigarette breaks. Similarly, there’s something inherently blue collar about Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the 25-year-old actor/musician behind Shakey Graves and one of NPR’s “Ten…
Welcome back, weekend. But above all, welcome back, Mr. Guy Fieri, who’s in town this weekend for the annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival. A year between running into Fieri — and his bitchin’ wrap-around shades, bleach-blond locks, radical flame-print shirts, and sweet goatee — late at night at…
When she’s not appearing in a Los Angeles County criminal courtroom, Lindsay Lohan can be found filing frivolous lawsuits in the state of New York. And for nearly two years, the most frivolous of suits has been the grievance filed against Miami’s Pitbull for his use of “disparaging” and “defamatory”…
Y’all ready to get your HARD on? It’s beginning to look a lot like springtime. And as such, electro bangers will soon drown out every other noise Miami generates in a 24-hour period — construction, traffic, chusmeria — as part of the March tradition known as Winter Music Conference and…
If you haven’t already, join the rest of the city and pretend you love college hoops. The University of Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball bandwagon is quickly filling up, and celebrity superfans Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and James Jones are partially to blame. The Big Two and their Heat teammate/UM alumnus…
Beware the Ides of March. No, not because someone’s planning to stab you in the back à la Brutus. But rather because this year’s Winter Music Conference kicks off on March 15, meaning you have only about three weeks of fake tanning sessions, CrossFit classes, and detoxing left until you’re…
Whether Lil Wayne is actually persona non grata at the American Airlines Arena remains a mystery. What is certain, however, is that Weezy is a classless, kiss-and-tellin’ fool who has fallen so far off the cultural-relevancy radar that only a childish rant about a professional basketball team and one of its…
Skeptical until about 46 minutes ago, we just learned there is, in fact, a God. And while it took her several years to answer the one prayer that we’d been repeating every night for the past 1,460 days, Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona is finally returning to Miami. The veteran crooner…
Some say “happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway.” But in reality, happiness is a three-night cruise with Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas at the helm. For the first time ever, the 2004 People’s Choice Awards selection for Favorite Musical Group is hitting the high seas aboard the Carnival…
