For those of you who wish you could pluck Marlins team President David Samson from Marlins Park and place him somewhere on a desolate island far, far away — your dreams have come true. Apparently he’ll be a contestant on the next season of Survivor. It show how seriously he…
Club Madonna, South Beach’s infamous and only fully nude strip club, is in damage control after three people were arrested for allegedly forcing a 13-year-old runaway to dance there. The club’s lawyers say they have no record of the girl having danced at the club, but owner Leroy Griffith told…
Maybe we’ve been watching too much House of Cards, but with all we’ve heard in the last few days about Dawn Aponte, the Miami Dolphins’ executive vice president of football administration, it’s hard not to imagine her as some sort of female Frank Underwood, ruthlessly navigating the halls of power…
With all the messes surrounding the Miami Dolphins right now, the Richie Incognito seems like ages ago, but NFL investigators haven’t forgotten about it. TMZ Sports claims that they got word from a source close to the investigation that the league has collected text messaged between Jonathon Martin and Incognito…
For proof of the incredible trajectory that South Florida’s gays have charted from bane of the faux-righteous to triumphant members of society — look no further than this video.

Remember how Charlie Crist was going to write a tell-all book about breaking up with the Republican Party? Well, it’s here. The Tampa Bay Times got an early copy and apparently it contains some juicy stuff, including an anecdote about Karl Rove calling the then GOP gubernatorial candidate “chickenshit” for…
Andrea Herrera slides headphones off her sleek black mane and steps out of a recording booth. Wearing a tight blue dress and pumps that are a half-size too big, she’s anxious as she leans against a nearby pool table — or at least as anxious as one can be after…

It was me this time, but it just as easily could’ve been you. The week had been an emotional bruiser. Deadlines, bosses, landlords, bank tellers, traffic, lady friend — each had their go, catching me with one unexpected kaboom after another until my nerves were breached and my patience was…
For years, we deluded ourselves that Lincoln Road could become a quirky subversion of the suburban shopping-mall experience, that the uniquely Miami culture the strip once exemplified could coexist alongside giant corporations’ fast-fashion megastores. Sure, for a while you could get khakis at the Gap and a cheap shirt from…
The nip slip is the defining element of Jenny Scordamaglia’s camera presence.
A tall, heavyset man with shaggy blond hair and straight-cropped bangs stands in the middle of an empty gravel parking lot. He looks around aimlessly, hands shoved in his pockets. When he sees a car pulling up, he turns, hands still stuffed in pockets, and hurries over to a small…

Nothing gets a certain segment of baseball enthusiasts more heated than the voting process for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Not being baseball enthusiasts ourselves (we grew up with the Marlins, after all), we don’t fully understand it, but it seems like a pretty touchy subject. Anyway, to protest the…

The State Attorney’s Office says the girl, identified only as D.J., ran…
We came here today to bury GM Jeff Ireland’s time with the Dolphins, not to praise him. Well, actually we came here to relentlessly mock him on Twitter. After years of the #Fireland hashtag breaking out on the social networking site just about anytime the Dolphins did anything wrong (which…
Ever since Genting Corporation’s aggressive plans to bring a full-service casino and mega-resort to the old Miami Herald site went boom the Malaysian conglomerate has been pretty quiet about its next step. We should have figured they were up to something. Today comes news that they’ve struck a deal with…
Don’t let all the talk fool you. Don’t let the story that Broward cop Paul Pletcher, in an apparent case of road rage, stopped a Hispanic woman, pummeled her with racial slurs, and destroyed her BlackBerry when she began recording him, convince you otherwise. Don’t allow the fact that even…
