Lets say you’re the biggest Miami Heat fan ever. You own every Heat star’s signature shoe in every available color. You have signed memorabilia dating back to ’88. You even have Chris Bosh’s jersey in all three shades. But do you possess a $27,500 limited-edition watch designed by Dwyane Wade?…
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep your drugs from you, apparently. Drug traffickers are increasingly using U.S. Mail and commercial carriers such as FedEx to ship drugs out of the country. In fact, in Florida alone the amount of cocaine and marijuana being intercepted…
Last season, the Miami Heat’s roster included a few superstar names and a lot of over-the-hill veterans. That worked out relatively fine but wasn’t quite enough. Maybe a few superstar over-the-hill veterans could help? The team’s top brass thinks it might be worth a shot and is reportedly considering looking…
Club 90 Degree first etched out a niche downtown as the Latin dance spot for the non-Calle Ocho crowd, with reggaeton, salsa, and merengue nights; lately, they’ve added hip-hop nights and had Power 96 broadcasting live from the floor on Saturdays.Last night, police say, at least two gunmen opened fire outside…
When three masked men armed with pistols entered the Luna Star Café in North Miami this past Saturday night, Ira Goldstein, a retired NYPD officer in his late 60s, intervened. Unfortunately Goldstein wound up in the hospital, and the robber made off with money from the cash register and valuables…
Well, the Miami Dolphins have signed another quarterback, and, in the process, delivered another disappointing development for fans starving for a decent QB. The latest man to join the Fins’ roster is Kevin O’Connell, a free-agent who has done a tour of duty in the AFC East by warming the…

This past June, singer Paulina Rubio was involved in a fender-bender in Little Havana and then found herself arrested after she screamed, “All of you Miami cops are abusive,” at police officers who had arrived on the scene. Now a judge has ordered Rubio to face trial on charges of…
President Barack Obama is 50! Fifty years old! Last night he celebrated the milestone with a group of political allies, close friends, a few celebrities, and musical guests. It was a far more restrained affair than President Bill Clinton’s 50th birthday bash in 1996, but Miami-based conservative shit-stirrer Matt Drudge…
J-Lo, a chicken born in Florida with two-thirds of the butts of the Kardashian sisters (and maybe twice the brains) is dead. Though she may have been an extraordinary hen, her fate was typical for a chicken: Two foxes jumped into her enclosure…
The low pressure trough formerly known as Tropical Storm Emily fizzled after making its way through Haiti last night. (No deaths or injuries have been reported there.) Forecaster say there’s still a chance Emily could regroup into a somewhat serious storm. Effects on South Florida remain unclear, and the forecast…
Gov. Rick Scott’s popularity is climbing ever so slightly out of the toilet. Now 35 percent of Floridians approve of the way he’s handling his job. That’s up from only 29 percent in May. That makes Rick Scott probably the only politician in America who’s happy with a 35 percent…
Nicaragua-born musician Luis Enrique, hailed as the Prince of Salsa, returned to his Miami home earlier this week after promoting his latest album in Puerto Rico only to find that his home had been ransacked and burglarized. A window had been broken, and furniture in the home had been moved.”It’s…
Poor Miami Edison Senior High. Just a couple weeks ago, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho had to roll into Tally guns blazing just to keep the Little Haiti institution open; despite big gains from an F to a C ranking, the state could have forced Edison to close or become a charter…
The heads keep fallin’ in Miami-Dade.Never mind that Animal Services Director Sara Pizano technically resigned yesterday. Animal rights activists have been after her for so long that they’ll feel they earned the scalp one way or another. But Pizano didn’t leave without a parting shot at her critics.”Always remember that…
According to police, 29-year-old Waleska Velasquez, a teacher at Miami Jackson Senior High, was involved in a yearlong sexual tryst with a 16-year-old male student. Velasquez apparently lavished the boy with cash and gifts. She was arrested today and charged with three counts of unlawful sexual contact with a minor…
Well, Dolphins fans have been hoping all summer that the team would add a proven veteran quarterback. Sometimes you better be careful what you wish for. Sure, this Sun-Sentinel report is more of a “what if…” hypothesis shallowly designed for shock and page views, but the odd thing is that…

Well, flappy mouthed TV anchor Rick Sanchez is not only back living in Miami, but he may be back on your TV screen next year. You can blame Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The power-couple is reportedly involved in a plan to launch a bi-lingual syndicated talk show shot in South…
Could Dwyane Wade be taking his talents to the Middle Kingdom? Reports suggest that MV3 has been offered an appealing $2 million-a-month salary to play for a Chinese team during the NBA lockout. It doesn’t appear Wade is ready to take the offer, which should make Heat fans sigh in…
If you prick Chad Henne does he not bleed? If you tickle him does he not laugh? If you stand outside practice and openly boo him does he not get all butthurt about it? Of course, from Henne’s on-the-field inconsistencies we should know that the man is very much human,…
