Three Miami-related TV items:

1. How did we miss a naked guy in a fat suit on Miami Beach? According to The Daily Mail, British comedian Matt Lucas "slipped into a naked fat woman's costume equipped with seaweed, cellulite and green nails" and wandered a parking lot in Miami Beach recently as part of a UK television show skit.

2. In case you are wondering how CSI:Miami (and similar shows) film special effects such as cars falling into giant sinkholes, click here.
