About a month ago, the Fillmore Miami Beach announced that our favorite comedian, Tracy Morgan, would be gracing their stage on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Our heart went aflutter and we shot our Miami New Times editor an email begging asking to cover the show. Luckily for us she obliged,…
Gosh, were we excited for the Dancing with the Stars Grand Finale. And boy did ABC go all out for us! Instead of the usual flippant DWTS introduction, we get a very serious Explosions in the Sky-scored, grainy film-effect montage of Ricki, Rob, and J.R. We are reminded that Ricki…

Remember the days when being a housewife was considered a bad thing? Well, listen up ladies: those days are no more! Thanks to Bravo, if you have a ring on your finger and lots of money (or are willing to pretend like you do,) then they want to hire you…
What artists’ new favorite canvas? Miami’s bright blue sky. Street artist Above recently hung a banker dummy from wires above his Occupy Wall Street mural in Wynwood.

In early September, the New Theatre announced that it had been bought by Henry and Peter Torres of Astor Development and was slated for demolition. The 25-year-old theater company had inhabited the space on Laguna Street in Coral Gables for 10 years. Not ready to let a little thing like homelessness…
Most people know Zooey Deschanel for her Smiths-loving, heartbreaking role in 500 Days of Summer, opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt, or for her musical project She & Him with singer-songwriter, M. Ward. Either way, she has emerged as one of the most beloved (and envied) female indie idols of the past decade…
Last week, we got the call to cover Ocean Drive’s red carpet event for the Miami debut of blk. water, which we thought sounded interesting. Then we remembered that Real Housewives of New Jersey boys, Albie and Chris Manzo, represented the product. We knew if we were lucky, the guys…
And thus we reach the end of our nine-week journey with night one of the Dancing With the Stars finale. Who do we want to win? Um….. In a way Ricki Lake has already won with the recent news that she will start a new daytime show. Rob Kardashian unquestionably…
There was a time when the 305’s boho rogues were overlooked by the Basel culturati. But now some our city’s former art bastards have been embraced by these same folks as wayward sons. The adoption process began back in 2007 when the lads behind Primary Flight took urban walls as…
At long last, the mysteries of the G-spot are finally revealed.”G-Spot: Get the Green Light” is currently exhibiting at ten different venues in Miami.

Well, we made it. Is it just us or was a week without Tough Love Miami a little hard? Last Sunday, we watched a terrific show called The Wards Get Real and if you happen to catch it, you know they do just that week after week even when the…
If you have never been to the Miami Book Fair, may we suggest you do. Not a huge fan of books? Neither are we. We CliffNoted our way through college. And if it isn’t written by a celebrity, we probably want nothing to do with it. Which is exactly why…
A lot can be said about OHWOW’s quick two-year residency in Miami. In a short time, the gallery-meets-performance space brought us an incredible amount of quality exhibitions as well as unforgettable parties, all coming out of a simple black-and-white warehouse in the middle of Allapattah.Who can forget exhibits by David…
Michael Moore closed out the 28th edition of the Miami Book Fair last night with a standing-room-only discussion promoting his new book Here Comes Trouble.

Chapman, the biggest auditorium on the Book Fair grounds, was packed. It was a young crowd, pretty white for Miami, one might think they were in Austin or Portland. In Hipster-biblio-ville, there’s plenty of plaid and an army of bespectacled soldiers. Chuck Palahniuk walked on stage to a thunderous cheer. Wearing…
It’s Friday night and we’re watching a couple of writers in a spelling contest, mulling over the phonetics of famous authors’ last names – Jeffrey “Eugenides,” for example.How’d we get duped into this? Well, clever Literary Death Match creator Todd Zuniga went and put the brainy Miami Book Fair event…
Interviewing celebrities is a weird thing. You always wonder if they will be nice, what they will be like, etc. And when we were invited to cover the red carpet for the fifth annual BeLive Celebration Gala, which benefited four Colombian charities, we became terrified. Mainly because we don’t speak…
The ’50s had Marilyn Monroe. A few women since have come close to epitomizing her glamor, but none really truly reached her status. Then, came Dita Von Teese. For those of you who don’t know who she is, maybe you are like our mother who asked, “Wait, that girl who…
