Confession time. We still barely have any idea what Burn Notice is about. Funny thing is we’ve written about it but never actually seen an episode. We know it’s shot and set in Miami. Something about a spy. A spy who possibly didn’t do his spy work to his bosses’…
Disco Rick will not be pleased. At some point during Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco’s Hypnotiq-addled sleepless binge that was Super Bowl weekend, apparently he swept up some young, impressionable lads and showed them his advanced dollar-fluttering techniques– at Tootsie’s Cabaret strip club. From his Twitter page: His homie from…

O.H.W.O.W. has been around for less than two years, but it’s already gained an international reputation. So much so that Juxtapoz magazine named it the 26th best gallery or museum in the entire world.To give you an idea of how impressive the honor is, the Louvre — yes the Louvre,…
We all had that rich friend growing up, the one with an elevator in his house, a pet tiger, and the parents who rented a Ferris wheel for his birthday parties. Well, that spoiled brat is all grown up, and he keeps throwing outrageous soirees. This year, he’s hired stone-faced…
Last Friday, Len Pace’s Evenin’ Jazz grooved smoothly along as it has for the last 30 years. The gravely-voiced DJ played some Lonnie Smith, as he invariably does at the end of every week, and he bantered through his usual smoky standards. When he signed off with his typical tag-line,…

As you hurriedly pack the entire family into your standard-size pickup for this Saturday’s Monster Jam, you’ll inevitably have some last-minute questions, such as: (1) Should Grandma wear noise-canceling headphones? (2) Do babies need tickets? and (3) Is it true Grave Digger is possessed by the souls of the million…
Everybody loves a fat guy. It could be the picnic tablecloth size of his Hawaiian shirt, it could be the disgustingly hilarious unbuttoning of his pants at the end of a good meal, or it could be the fact that owing to a lifetime of ridicule, the fat dude generally…
It’s the year 2014. No one is flying around with jet packs, but World War III is ripping a bloody path through South America. Forget the looming threats of North Korea and Iran; it’s Chile and Peru that have come to fisticuffs. When we join the cast of Diciembre, Brazilian…
There’s a bit of old dogfighting wisdom that says the best battles happen when a trainer pits the tiniest pups from two related litters against one another. But because the fighting of dogs is a disgusting, immoral endeavor and the fighting of men is not, why don’t we see what…
Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Univision heeded the call to provide more opportunities for Latino entertainment stars to get gussied up and flaunt bling and breasts (enhanced, of course) on the red carpet. It’s gone a bit overboard, but Premio Lo Nuestro is the granddaddy. The awards…
“It’s on like Donkey Kong!” So says Ric Delgado in the first sentence of his post announcing REVMiami’s First Anniversary Party at White Room this Friday night. Delgado is perhaps the single most vocal advocate of Miami music today. And the lineup of talent slated to show their allegiance is…
