For those of you all alone today, just remember it could always be worse. Your Valentine could be a psycho who threatens to cut off your head after strangling you with a belt. That’s basically what happened in Key Largo yesterday, and now 33-year-old Nathan Hemby sits behind bars…
When Scottie Pippen sits down to watch TV, he doesn’t see much difference between Two and a Half Men and a Miami Heat game. We guess LeBron is Charlie Sheen, Wade is John Cryer, and Chris Bosh is apparently that chubby kid who’s awkwardly aged in front of America. In…

After weeks of tumultuous protests, embattled Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is widely expected to step down as soon as tonight.

The former Editor-in-Chief Dmitry Rashnitsov and News Editor Jeremy Jones of the Florida Agenda, one of South Florida’s few bastions of serious journalism targeted at the gay community, have abruptly quit after they believed publishers tried to censor them. Rashnitsov had relinquished his role as EIC but was still writing…
Controversial but undeniably talented former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton is taking the unusual step of hosting his own Pro Day in San Francisco today, but will only open the display to the media and not NFL scouts. It’s the latest odd PR step in a career that’s been full of…
Despite what your mother may have told you, scientists have never been able to prove that eating more candy gives you acne. However, a new student-led research study out of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine seems to suggest a direct link between the amount of chocolate you…

Al Cardenas is one of Miami’s top political insiders. He’s a former two-term chair of the state GOP, and a former member of the nation-wide Executive Committee of the Republican Party. The guy even gave Marco Rubio his first break in politics. The Cuban-American has just been named the president…
Lil’ Wayne may be the rap world’s biggest bandwagon fan (how is a guy who grew up in New Orleans and spends his downtime in Miami Beach such a Packers fan anyway?), but apparently he’s now back on good terms with the Heat. All it took was a nod from King James…
