Chaz Bono is the son of Cher and Sonny Bono. While growing up, he always felt uncomfortable and after years of feeling out of place, he realized something: He was a he. He was not Chastity, the daughter of Sonny and Cher, but Chaz — a woman-loving, video-game playing, All-American…
”Do I Look Like a Slut?” asked Miami natives Debbie and Daphne of Avenue D about ten years ago in their infectious song (video posted jump). It’s a question we’ve all asked. If there’s something Miami girls know a thing about, it’s about looking a little less than “proper.” We’ve…
Uh, well, there’s been an update to that parade-route post that some lout came up with on this blog last week. The Dallas Mavericks opened a Texas-size can of whoopass on the Miami Heat last night and stole what was rightfully ours, if by rightfully we mean we didn’t really…

Selena Gomez is Justin Bieber Light. She’s one of those Disney alums you made bets over whether she’ll turn out looking hot like Hilary Duff or unfortunate like Raven-Symoné. (We’re sure Raven is nice on the inside or whatever, but the lack of a booming “Chicks Hot on the Inside!”…
Here we are, mere hours and days away from the Best of Miami issue hitting newsstands and interwebs, but we can’t help stoking the fires of anticipation even more. Last week, we ventured some guesses about Miami’s best art gallery for 2011. The other hotly contested category is best local…
Telling a story is not as easy as, well, telling a story. You need training, grasshopper. You need to take a class, learn narrative techniques, surround yourselves with other neurotic introverts. Luckily for you, the Florida Center for the Literary Arts is hosting its annual summer Fiction workshop, An Introduction…
The setting for Sam Shepard’s Fool for Love is fitting: an isolated, shabby motel in the Mojave desert. It’s the perfect bubble for a tortured, taboo, and sickly compelling love affair. Unspeakable things, wrong things, happen between people who are under the influence and locked in cheap motel rooms. Here, the…

Tracy Morgan is in deep shit after Queen of celebrity gossip, Perez Hilton, relayed a message from a “Perezcious reader” that the 30 Rock star had launched into an extensive homophobic rant during a show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. The remarks and subsequent backlash is but another…
Part of being a local entails babysitting out of town visitors staying on South Beach. That can be a drag if you don’t actually live on Miami Beach. Especially, if they ask for ideas on what to do besides clubbing on a Saturday night. Your might be tempted to suggest…
We know what you are thinking: Stuffy museums descriptions in old newspaper clippings. You’d rather somebody gouge your eyes out with those tiny gelato spoons than read them. (Okay, so you probably weren’t thinking that.) And normally, we might agree with you. But we are the New Times, people. We…
Last night, the M Ensemble Company opened the Tony Award-nominated story of Home at the Light Box in Goldman Warehouse in Wynwood’s. They chose the play to end their 2010-2011 season, which also happens to be the celebration of their 40th anniversary. Written by Samm-Art Williams, Home tells the story…
…not so fast, amigos. We actually announce all our Best of Miami winners next week. And even though the reader’s poll is long closed, we couldn’t help get in on the speculation game. Which white cube will reign as Miami’s best art gallery for 2011? Certainly the hundreds of you…
As the season winds down and the soaring temperatures threaten to crisp Wynwood’s asphalt during this weekend’s Second Saturday Art Walk, it seems local galleries are opting to crank up their thermometers with searing shows. Exhibits include a rabid Green Bay Packers fan protesting the government in Milwaukee’s frosty climes…
Get out of the house and into a seat at the Colony Theatre: San Francisco-based interdisciplinary artist Keith Hennessy performs on Saturday as part of Out in the Tropics, South Florida’s first gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender performing arts festival, now in its second year. Among the pioneering artists addressing…

When we say that we know the eight best things to do this weekend, do you put down your Jamba Juice and speed over to the Vagabond, Hard Rock, or wherever else we tell you to go? You should. You see, just as some of you get paid to sell…
As boarding-school bodice-rippers go, this assured debut by British director and girls’-school alumna Jordan Scott fairly bursts with pent-up carnality trying to ripen under rigid autocracy laden with lesbian denial. Shot in a lushly wild corner of Ireland, Cracks looks as lovely as a colorized old postcard, all vibrant vermilions…
Maybe Cultist was partially responsible for the jinx of all jinxes or our own self inflicted sports hex when we revealed a suggested parade route for our hometown Miami Heat, but can you blame us (don’t answer that!). Truth is we still have this series in the bag and all…
In game four of the NBA Finals, Lebron James reminded us that sometimes the planet’s best talent can fade on the big stage. Last week when the 54th Venice Biennale kicked off, Anish Kapoor, one of the leading figures of the international art scene today was set to hold court…
