“They’re running an hour and a half late,” said a woman seated in the front row of the nearly empty Miami Beach International Fashion Week. “It’s Miami.” That’s lay of the land: Things are expected to run on Cuban time. And when the show finally starts, close to two hours…

South Beach will be infiltrated next week by a man who spends the majority of his day making prank phone calls, accompanied by a four-foot, three-inch tall pop culture icon. Sal Governale and single name legend Beetlejuice are integral figures on SiriusXM’s Howard Stern Show, and both star in the…

Also, that he’s big…
