Every year, thousands come to the shores of Miami seeking freedom. Including Lindsay Lohan’s breasts. America’s favorite constant crisis has been in town all weekend, and on Sunday was caught by paparazzi during a wardrobe malfunction during a Plum magazine photo shoot. We believe that involved her left breast. Of…
While the rest of the Miami-Dade County Commission is waiting on the results of today’s mayoral and commission seat special elections, Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz is dealing with far more serious things.

Miami Hurricanes coach Al Golden has a fever, and the only cure is more quarterbacks. The ‘Canes didn’t draft a single QB this year, and Golden will only have three slingers at his disposal next season (only two of whom are actual options). Yet, he imagines a day where the…
We’ve all been waiting for this moment: the day South Beach claimed its first NFL lockout victim. Because even when pro football players have a job to go to in the morning, they manage to get arrested on Washington Avenue at a rate that would make Rod Blagojevich blush.Take away…
Lindsay Lohan, America’s favorite troubled has-been, doesn’t really have a good track record when its comes to Miami vacations. She ended up in the hospital after suffering an “asthma attack” here in 2006. Back in 2009 she got into an epic-fight with then-girlfriend Samantha Ronson after hosting a New Year’s…
Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in Miami-Dade by more than 166,000, yet it’s not all that odd that the three main establishment candidates in the Miami-Dade Mayoral race are all registered Republicans. County politics are non-partisan, and candidates are legally not allowed to declare their political affiliation in their advertising. Yet,…

Julio Robaina is like a Cuban Fonzie, the dude stays cool under pressure. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t up to no good.At the liveliest public forum we’ve seen so far in the County Mayor’s race, the NAACP debate at the New Birth Baptist Church, Luther Campbell accused Robaina of…
Most people named Baker don’t actually knead bread for a living. Nor do many Smiths actually forge metal. Though, apparently some people named Stoner live up to their name (and not in a way that has anything to do with rocks).Police in Clearwater, Florida have arrested Glenn H. Stoner after…
Well, here’s the “good” news. Florida’s unemployment rate now sits at 10.8 percent according to numbers from the month of April. That’s still stupendously high, and still well above the national rate of 9.2 percent. The bad news it that the unemployment actually rose in Miami-Dade in April, and is…
Back in December, New Times reported the long and shady past of newly elected state Rep. Daphne Campbell’s questionable dealings while running group homes for adults who need special care.

What happens when you mix a proper English gentlemen with some of Miami’s most hardened criminals inside of the Pre-Trial Detention Center? Well, it looks like some really, really good television. The BBC recently set their in-house gonzo documentarian Louis Theroux to what they term the “Miami Mega Jail” for…
