Whitney Port’s new MTV reality show The City isn’t doing so hot in the ratings. She’s in town to film an episode apparently, and while frolicking on South Beach a paparazzi documented nip slip. Whoops. She quickly followed up with a public apology on her website: Okay so a couple…
Like everyone in the entire world the Miami Herald has a twitter that aggregates their headlines in tweet form. Whoop-di-doo, we have one too! The only difference is that we will not personally apologize for the depressing nature of our tweets as they did to this blogger. This is actually…
After running a race for Congress this past fall that included claiming opponent Alcee Hastings threatened to kill him, Dr. Marion Thorpe only managed to get 18% of the vote in district-23. Now he’s decided to fail on an even larger stage. He just become the first announced Republican to…
Oh, look. We’ve topped another depressing list. No, this one isn’t calling us fat, in fact it’s practically guaranteeing we’ll be skinnier in one area: our wallets. PMI group released its list of riskiest real estate markets, and Miami ties with Riverside, California as the riskiest. The chance of home…
We understand the disgust some folks might feel when they’re introduced to the idea of lingerie football. It’s always something like “blah blah blah exploitation, vulgar, sexist blah blah blah.” But this is America, and if pretty, young ladies want to be exploited or whatever by making money to play…
Remember that hullabaloo over Barack Obama inviting not-so-gay-friendly Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration? Riptide helpfully stepped in and offered suggestions for less controversial, more gay-friendly religious folks whom Obama should have invited, including Reverend Lovejoy, Reverend Run, Blackface Jesus, and openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson. Well, la-di-da,…
Nicolle Wallace is a Republican operative whose resumé includes working for the Bush White House and handling the early media strategy for Sarah Palin’s VP run. She’s the lady who decided those Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews were a good idea. There is basically no reason whatsoever to take any…
Men’s Fitness has been tracking America’s fattest city for the past 11 years, and Miami came out number one. We’re even fatter than Oklahoma City! The methodology takes more into account than just the percentage of overweight people, but we certainly have our share. From USA Today:”Miami received poor marks…
Fidel Castro is reportedly on his deathbed, and these reports are more sound than the one Perez Hilton posted last year. [Herald]Some thieves drove to the Village of Merrick Park, smashed their car into the Gucci store window, grabbed everything in sight, and took off. Police are on the lookout…
President Bush will finally leave the White House next week, which means the United States now stands a chance at reversing our reputation as douchebags of the universe. Before departing office, however, Dubya decided he would give the good people of South Florida a little farewell gift: another bad decision…
The American Lung Association released Florida’s annual smoking report card, and we got three Fs. As in F’ing awesome? No, as in one out of five Floridians are slowly F’ing killing themselves. Whoops. The ALA recognizes the state for increasing its tobacco control funding, but overall we’re still failing. We…
It’s not that people don’t want to watch Mario Diaz-Balart videos on YouTube. This video of him experiencing some sort of Sarah Palin-induced seizuregasm at a John McCain rally has more than 35,000 views (although over half of those were from me). It’s just that people don’t want to watch…
We’ve interoduced you before to our local antichrist, José Luis De Jesus Miranda, who runs his Growing in Grace International Ministry out of Miami. He’s a creepy son of a bitch who claims to be both Jesus reincarnated and the antichrist. His followers tattoo “666” on their bodies, and many experts have…
Miami boy Kendrick Meek became the first official announced candidate for the 2010 Senate race, sure to be one of the most dramatic in the nation. As expected, he announced it this morning, and used much of the same “This is about Florida” rhetoric we commented about earlier. He’s not…
When Plum TV execs asked us to appear on their new show, Juice, I asked the producer if she was sure. See, Plum is a classy affair, and we aren’t 944 (not that we’d want to be that hot mess of a magazine) or Ocean Drive; we write about stripper murders…
By far the easiest “recession” story to write is finding weird, desperate postings on Craigslist. As if there aren’t weird, desperate postings on Craigslist even in good economic times. That’s just what MSNBC did, and they found a lady in Miami looking to trade a couple of hours of — ahem — “body…
The prez-elect electrified the newswires yesterday when word leaked he plans to issue an executive order during his first week in office — and maybe his first day — officially shutting down the detention camps at Guantánamo Bay.But before you start planning those Gitmo V-Day parades, Obama sounded a more…
Do you remember the citywide excitement last year when Miami was named the third most caffeinated city in the United States? Don’t you remember all the parades and the front-page headlines and the outpouring of civic pride? Remember how we danced? Oh, how we danced, while each downing ten café cubanos in a…
I nominate the Sum Yum Gai sign. As Chet and Ryan from this season’s Real World illustrate, it’s already a popular photo op. Search Sum Yum Gai on Flickr, Google Images,or Photobucket and you’ll see, for whatever reason, people love having their picture taken in front of the sign. Let’s take…
Political math god Nate Silver put together a handy pie chart showing that the career stop for a majority of current U.S. senators is a U.S. House seat. Good news for Kendrick Meek, Connie Mack IV, and the handful of other representatives who might be angling for the seat, but…
The Miami Herald quietly upped its price for the first time in 18 years to $0.50 for the weekday edition. So wait they had massive layoffs, entered various story sharing agreements, and only now thought about raising the price to a wee bit higher than 1990 levels? [CBS4]Rod “I can parachute…
All the other potential Democrats with wet dreams of Senate subcommittee hearings are waiting until the mighty Alex Sink (mighty because she is one of two Dems who can get elected in this state) decides if she’s going to run for governor or senator or Florida’s first galactic empress. Not…
