Pop artist Romero Britto’s work has infected Miami like a great open sore pulsing red, yellow, and blue. When future archeologists unearth our city, they’ll think we worshiped squinting kitty-cats and butterflies–and that our artistic ability fell one neanderthal short of a cave painting.Now Britto has teamed up with the…
The Miami Dolphins aren’t jealous that the Miami Heat pretty much stole their title as the city’s favorite sports team with the signing of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James. No, sir. In fact, they put a full-page ad in both the Miami Herald and the Sun-Sentinel this weekend…

Bill McCollum can’t catch a break. He has twice run for senator, both times unsuccessfully. Finally found himself in the Attorney General’s chair, and is now running for Governor. He was ahead in the polls, too, until billionaire Rick Scott started attacking him from the right with his big help…
Cleveland Caveliers owner Dan Gilbert came across as a whiny, sore loser when he posted his now infamous pissed-off, Comic Sans screed when LeBron James dared join the Miami Heat. He called James’ actions “heartless and callous” and promised that the Cavs would win a championship before the Heat did…
Miami is, by and large, a football town. And the Miami Dolphins are king. This is why the Marlins average only 19 people per game even though they’ve won more championships than the Dolphins in the past 37 years (note: they don’t really average 19 people — more like 12)…
A thief suspected of targeting the University of Miami is apparently stealing for two. Surveillance videos have connected the woman, who appears visibly pregnant, to thefts from various buildings on the university’s Coral Gable campus. However, each time she seems to be wearing a different wig. …
Fidel Castro is ready for his first closeup in years. After pictures surfaced in the past few days that pro-government sources claim are of the ailing dictator making a rare public appearance, Cuban media reports Castro will appear on Cuban television tonight to promote his theory that the United States…
In your Monday-morning wrapup of crime, horrors, and the occasional glimmer of hope: A man is charged with fatablly stabbing his wife in front of his daughter, a young girl was accidentally shot during a two-man gunfight, a bicyclist and a pedestrian were hit by vehicles in separate incidents, manatees…
For a city that made a mound of cocaine a must-have desktop accessory and likes its Brittos to match its Lamborghinis, this level of glossy athletic excess is only appropriate: Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James, three of the best ballers in the NBA, all descending on Miami to…
We all know how difficult it is to text while driving. Speaking from experience, it’s virtually impossible — and in some parts of South Florida, even illegal. AT&T adds a little label to the front of new phones suggesting not to do it, and we’ve all heard of the friend…
Juan “Doc” Restrepo, a 20-year-old Army medic from Pembroke Pines, appears only twice in the new documentary bearing his name. On a train in Italy, he mugs for the camera. South Beach shades cover his eyes, and a huge grin spreads across his face.”Tune in next time, where we’re still…
Let’s put aside our excitement over a prized athlete deciding to come to Miami — to get excited about a prized athlete deciding to come to Miami! Seantrel Henderson, perhaps the top recruit in the class of 2010, has decided to attend the University of Miami, according to the New…

OK, people of Ohio, we’re sorry we took your home-state superhero. But buck up — you still lay claim to one of the best Miami-bred players in the NFL: Chad Ochocinco.Of course, Ochocinco continues to prove you can take the boy out of Miami, but you can’t take the Miami…
Sports commentators weren’t the only ones nervously watching LeBron James’ fireworks spectacular last night on ESPN. In the celebrity twitterverse, the rich and famous were just as worried as New York, Cleveland and Miami fans about where their fellow gazillionaire buddy would end up. Diddy made a prediction then took…
Either billionaire Senate candidate Jeff Greene is surrounded by so many scandal-plagued celebrities that it is impossible for him to remember them individually, or he is straight-up avoiding questions and deliberately being misleading about his apparent friendship with Lindsay Lohan. Even as more pictures have surfaced showing Lohan in a revealing swimsuit on…
Other things happened in Miami yesterday besides the arrival of LeBron James. Horrible things such as a bizarre car crash that killed five, a fatal shooting in Hialeah, and a plan to bring more red-light cameras to Miami Beach…

Well, fold this handy primer into your pocket and South Florida will seem just like home, you’ll see! “Cleveland rocks”: “I’m in Miami Bitch” Polish: Cuban Pasty whiteness: Orange luminescence Love handles: Liposuction…
From the scathing, so-good-it-must-be-fake-but-it-really-isn’t open letter to Cleveland from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert:…
Welcome to The Greatest Event In The History of Your Life! It’s the LeBron James The Decision live-blog. Because an event this monumental must be live-blogged, even if he decides to screw the city of Miami over.Will he stay in Cleveland? Will he go to Chicago? Will he go to…
Billionaire Democratic Senate candidate Jeff Greene sure has some interesting friends. Mike Tyson (convicted of rape) was the best man at his wedding. “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fliess (convicted of tax evasion) was a yearlong house guest.Now, it appears he once joined Lindsay Lohan (headed to jail for 90 days for violating…
