Former Miami Heat star Tim Hardaway made close to $50 million during his NBA career, but apparently that wasn’t enough to keep him out of tax troubles. After a lien was placed on his house by the IRS for a $120,000 tax debt, the Miami Heat bought the mansion, according…
Kids snort the darnedest things. Apparently, they’ve been sniffing a substance sold at specialty and head shops marketed as bath salts that mimics the effects of cocaine and LSD. Yesterday, newly elected Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an emergency rule banning the substance while the legislature works to make…
The Miami Heat may be the most talked about NBA team this season, but they aren’t the most valuable. However, the signing of LeBron James and Chris Bosh saw the team’s value increase by 17 percent since last year, according to Forbes.com. That’s the biggest increase in value over one…
In five years the most watched shows in America could emanate from a massive television studio in Doral. No CBS, Fox, ABC or NBC isn’t looking to relocate production from Los Angeles. Univision hopes to make those networks irrelevant, and wants to be the number one network in America. That…
Knock, Knock. Who’s there? A thief posing as a door-to-door pharmacist who is packing a stun gun, that’s who.An elderly woman was robbed last week in such a bizarre occurrence, and now police are on the hunt for the suspect…

The American Kennel Club has released its annual list of the most popular dog breeds in Miami, and the top two breeds couldn’t be more different. Alright, alright. Maybe they’re not as different as, say, a tea cup poodle and a bull mastiff, but its pretty damn close. And compared…
We all love a bargain, but when it comes to things that we inject in our face maybe its best to pay for quality service. An unnamed Kendall woman wanted to save a few bucks on Botox injections, so she traveled up to Boca Raton twice a year for eight…
Earlier this month, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber spoke to a group of supporters hoping to bring the league back to Miami and basically said, “You’re a nice city and all, but we’re not even going to think about giving you another team unless you start acting like you…
Lots of tourists come to South Beach to get dirrty — in that pained Christina Aguliera sense — but most of them expect a clean room. For at least the second year in a row, a Miami Beach hotel has received the dishonor of making TripAdvisor.com’s 10 dirtiest hotels in…
Apparently, LeBron James sometimes forgets he’s part of the Miami Heat’s big three and acts like a member of another famous trio: Larry, Curly, and Moe. Dwyane Wade is dealing with serious migraine headaches and has been wearing special, slightly funny-looking glasses to deal with light sensitivity during practice, and…
President Obama will deliver his second annual State of the Union address tonight. Ah yes, the State of the Union address — Washington’s most annoying and pompous tradition. Along with the seemingly never ending applause, the traditional opposition party response ranks right up there as the single most annoying feature…
Despite holding no verbal punches while ripping apart coach Tony Sparano and his former teammates last month, Ricky Williams won’t rule out a return to the Miami Dolphins next season.

Way to go Miami. We’ve elected a guy to congress who is so ethically shady that he even makes career D.C. politicians nervous. As the ethics scandal involving freshman Republican Rep. David Rivera grows, GOP leaders are said to be quietly making plans to replace him if need be. In…
Listen, we can admit that LeBron James has something of a bit of a public relations and ego problem, but all the guy ever did was switch teams. To claim he’s the most deplorable athlete in America is sort of a stretch considering there’s guys like Tiger Woods and Brett…
With the actual Oprah bidding farewell to her talk show this year, will the priest nicknamed “Father Oprah” rise to replace her? Father Alberto Cutié has announced that he’s set to host an English language syndicated talk show set to air on Fox stations in major markets later this year,…
There’s something special going on this season with the Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team, but the squad experienced its first setback since their second game by falling to FSU last night 66-59. The loss ends Miami’s 17-game winning streak, which tied Duke’s longest winning streak in the nation…
Shortly after we survived the scourge of Jersey Shore’s second season and the crew headed back home to Seaside Heights for their next string of drunken antics and silly fights, rumors started popping up that it was only a matter of time before they returned to Miami for season four…
Every year we here at the Miami New Times humbly offer our Dirty Dozen of the worst locals of the year. Ever year, Buffalo’s own alt weekly, The Beast, takes the concept a bit farther with the 50 most deplorable Americans of the year. Their edition this year, though, is…
Miami’s real estate market is near rock bottom, which means it’s a good time to buy a home. In fact, according to a new analysis from real estate site Trulia.com, if you’re renting, you’re ripping yourself off. More than any other major city market in America right now, Miami is…
