In a Jacksonville courthouse yesterday, Alexandra V. Tobias, 22, pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree murder in the death of her 3-month-old son, Dylan Lee Edmondson. Her chilling motive: The boy was annoying Tobias while she was trying to play the highly addictive Facebook game Farmville. She was too busy…
Remember Annabelle DeSisto? She was the girl this season The Situation picked up at club Space, only to refuse to smoosh with him and dropped the classic line, “I never said anything about checkers old man.” She also happens to be a former Miss Teen Florida. Well she gave her…
Going into the final days of the election Democrat Kendrick Meek needs something huge to propel his senate campaign to victory. Getting Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade to send out a fundraising letter on his behalf may not be enough, but it certainly can’t hurt (assuming Orlando Magic fans don’t…
For reasons no one quite understands, Fox News continues to air Red Eye, a somewhat satirical talk show, at 3 o’clock in the morning every day. Monday night host Greg Gutfield welcomed members of beloved Miami-based metal band Torche, and had a bit of a surprise for them. Apparently former…
It was just last week when noted website Gay Patriot (“the internet home for the American gay conservative”) held Marco Rubio up as the prime example of Republican hottie. Surely, that singular “American gay conservative” and plenty of right-leaning housewives across Florida have at least once dreamed about what lies…

Burger King’s new Brazilian owner, 3G Capitol, just officially took control of the company days ago, and they’ve wasted little time in cleaning house. At least seven high-level executives at the Miami-based fast food chain have been laid off. The move is surely a sign of changes to come in…
Who is Miami supposed to root for in the World Series when it’s not one of those weird years when the Marlins somehow manage to wind up winning it? The city’s important risqué men’s underwear industry is apparently lining up behind the San Francisco Giants. Papi, a Miami-based brand of…
Nestor Kirchner, the former president of Argentina and husband of current president Cristina Kirchner, has died this morning due to heart failure at the age of 60. The leftist-Peronist politician was widely expected to mount another presidential campaign in 2011…
So last night’s Heat game against the Celtics was a painful thing to watch. Granted, if that was the Heat playing at its worst against one of the league’s other premier squads in very hostile territory, we probably don’t have anything to worry about this season. That’s what we’ll tell…
Police are searching for suspects in two separate firearm attacks that occurred overnight in North Miami-Dade. One was fatal; the other victim is not expected to survive. A 25-year-old man was found shot to death near his black SUV near Barry University in Miami Shores. In the other shooting, a…
California and New York are in the midst of colorful gubernatorial elections, but Florida’s race hasn’t been getting much national attention. That’s amazing considering an unfit, self-financed, crooked businessman hell-bent on stirring up divisive issues might become the next governor of the fourth most populace state. Forget that, though — the national…

Oh, girl, who knew Dolphins players could get so catty? And not just wild catty. Ricky Williams showed up at the team’s Halloween bash last night dressed as former teammate Jason Taylor. Poking fun at Taylor’s run on Dancing With the Stars, Williams wore a getup that included a giant…
The NBA regular season kicks off tonight with the Miami Heat taking on the Boston Celetics. Those 82 games seem to be just a formality for the Heat, because AccuScore’s jocky computers have declared that without even 0.1 percent of a doubt, the team will make the playoffs. Though AccuScore doesn’t seem…
Anders Gyllenhaal has been executive editor of the Miami Herald since 2007 and shepherded the once-great paper through some of its darker times. Though the economy certainly played a heavy role, it’s difficult to pinpoint what part of his performance made him deserving of a promotion. Yet the paper’s parent…
We have a habit of electing some pretty shady politicians in Miami. Hell, we’re currently recalling our own county mayor, but it’s nice to be reminded other cities can elect some real loons too. Toronto, Canada’s biggest city and North America’s fifth biggest city, just elected Rob Ford, a colorful,…
Ever since Lawton Chiles embarked on a 1,003 mile walk across Florida and ultimately became the state’s Senator in an upset victory, some candidates in the state have had a habit for folksy campaign stunts. There was Bob Graham’s working days, Kendrick Meek’s successful bid to become the first senate…
LeBron James is finally addressing the haters in a sure-to-be-controversial new Nike ad. He’s taking on some serious criticism and calling a certain hater out by name, but the ad ultimately skews light-hearted with a cameo by none other than Miami Vice’s Don Johnson. James asks, “What should I do?”…

South Beach royalty Michael Capponi was spotted living it up early Friday morning at one of Miami’s latest hotspots: behind bars at the pretrial detention center.
