Spotted: Crazy Mom at a Seminole County library trying to stage an illfaited one-woman protest against the popular teen novel series Gossip Girl.

Good, vintage underthings are hard to come by–literally, they don’t sell them anywhere (unless you’ve snagged some from a Terribly Girly photo shoot recently). So when we heard that a vintage shop that looks like the inner workings of a classic pin-up girl’s lingerie closet was opening, we were intrigued…
This certainly isn’t anything to brag about, but a new study from the University of Maryland shows that between 1970 and 2007, Miami was the target of more terrorists attacks than any other city in America, with the big exception of New York. In fact, New York has been the victim of…
The George Rekers and the rent boy scandal is at once very, very sad but also very, very hilarious. Following the mixed results of Jay Leno and Stephen Colbert, last night Jon Stewart took on the scandal on The Daily Show in a segment titled “European Gaycation.”In the clip below…
Just one day after gunmen opened fire in a public park during a game of women’s flag football in southwest Miami-Dade, shots rang out over a basketball court in Liberty City. Two men walked up to the court and unloaded about 30 rounds on a man in his late teens…
You might be tired of us forcing more and more news on the George Alan Rekers story, but we feel this is a story that needs to be told. For one, it’s about the hypocrisy of denying a group of people certain rights, while pretending to be someone you aren’t…
At Miami International Airport, somehow, there is always a couple fighting in Spanish. That such a fiery passion wells up alongside colorless cargo packages and old ladies in wheelchairs seems almost magical. It’s one of the reasons we recommend arriving early with a box of Junior Mints. The drama and…
Anti-gay activist George Alan Rekers contends in an earlier post on Riptide that he did not hire a young gay escort named Lucien as a prostitute. But what the minister — who hasn’t returned calls seeking comment — likely didn’t realize is that Miami New Times reporters were sitting beside…
George Alan Rekers, the anti-gay activist who hired a male prostitute, has fired back at the New Times reporters who broke the story. This afternoon, Rekers sent an email calling a follow-up article “defamation.” He claims his rent-a-boy agreed to a statement that clears him of sexual acts. Check out…
Thirty-five-year-old Sosthene Louis has been identified as the man alleged to have killed 26-year-old Lisney Oliveira outside Club Mekka after Oliveira didn’t give him a cigarette. Louis is still on the loose and believed to be dangerous. He’s described as being between five-foot-nine and five-foot-eleven, around 200 pounds, with two…
Rolando Negrin was Miami International Airport’s guinea pig during an employee training session on full-body scanning equipment last year. The machines have the unintended side effect of giving a rough determination of the size of things underneath your clothes. Apparently, Negrin didn’t measure up (hey, maybe he’s a grower, not a…

Marco Rubio apparently won’t be enjoying a home field advantage in Florida’s senate race. The Miami born Republican who got his start in local politics isn’t too popular in Southeast Florida, and it’s the only region in the state where he polls behind both Kendrick Meek and Charlie Crist. Mason-Dixon polling…
Iggy Pop’s face is literally the reason every time you go into Miami’s cherished you’re greeted by the cool breeze of air conditioning, so it can’t be that bad, right? Not according to a new poll, which ranked Pop has having the worst celebrity face. Ouch. Another Miami face, Mickey Rourke’s, also came…
The male escort hired by anti-gay activist George Alan Rekers has told Miami New Times the Baptist minister is a homosexual who paid him to provide body rubs once a day in the nude, during their ten-day vacation in Europe. Rekers allegedly named his favorite maneuver the “long stroke” –…
We don’t know if you’ve ever had the pleasure of watching University of Miami student films, but a heck of a lot of them use guns (it’s almost like The Office’s Michael Scott in improv class). As a graduate of UM’s famed motion pictures program, I remember some classmates spending…
The Daily Beast is beginning to rival Forbes.com for the number of inane city rankings list, but why should we complain? It gives us easy blog fodder. In honor of Mother’s Day, Tina Brown’s Internet concern ranked America’s top 200 cities by how appealing they are for mothers to live. Moms…
Gunfire broke out last night during a women’s flag football game at West Perrine Park, at SW 168th Street and 104th Avenue. Three assailants opened fire on the crowd. Four men were shot, and a woman broke her arm while trying to escape. Three of the men were hit in the leg, and the other…

Sure, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez is king of a county where the hospital is bankrupt, one in ten residents doesn’t have a job, and mortgage fraud is the only growth industry.That doesn’t mean he shouldn’t ride in style!Alvarez has posted an official county bid notice for his new work car, and…
