Cleveland Caveliers owner Dan Gilbert came across as a whiny, sore loser when he posted his now infamous pissed-off, Comic Sans screed when LeBron James dared join the Miami Heat. He called James’ actions “heartless and callous” and promised that the Cavs would win a championship before the Heat did…
A thief suspected of targeting the University of Miami is apparently stealing for two. Surveillance videos have connected the woman, who appears visibly pregnant, to thefts from various buildings on the university’s Coral Gable campus. However, each time she seems to be wearing a different wig. …
Fidel Castro is ready for his first closeup in years. After pictures surfaced in the past few days that pro-government sources claim are of the ailing dictator making a rare public appearance, Cuban media reports Castro will appear on Cuban television tonight to promote his theory that the United States…
In your Monday-morning wrapup of crime, horrors, and the occasional glimmer of hope: A man is charged with fatablly stabbing his wife in front of his daughter, a young girl was accidentally shot during a two-man gunfight, a bicyclist and a pedestrian were hit by vehicles in separate incidents, manatees…

OK, people of Ohio, we’re sorry we took your home-state superhero. But buck up — you still lay claim to one of the best Miami-bred players in the NFL: Chad Ochocinco.Of course, Ochocinco continues to prove you can take the boy out of Miami, but you can’t take the Miami…
Either billionaire Senate candidate Jeff Greene is surrounded by so many scandal-plagued celebrities that it is impossible for him to remember them individually, or he is straight-up avoiding questions and deliberately being misleading about his apparent friendship with Lindsay Lohan. Even as more pictures have surfaced showing Lohan in a revealing swimsuit on…
Other things happened in Miami yesterday besides the arrival of LeBron James. Horrible things such as a bizarre car crash that killed five, a fatal shooting in Hialeah, and a plan to bring more red-light cameras to Miami Beach…
Billionaire Democratic Senate candidate Jeff Greene sure has some interesting friends. Mike Tyson (convicted of rape) was the best man at his wedding. “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fliess (convicted of tax evasion) was a yearlong house guest.Now, it appears he once joined Lindsay Lohan (headed to jail for 90 days for violating…

Used to be when a politician had an embarrassing kid, he or she would exercise what’s known as the “Rosemary Kennedy option.” Nowadays, you just put your crazy kid in your commercials and let him sing, dance, and get his Glee on in the hopes it will somehow get you elected. That’s what Republican Florida…
The surest way to know that the LeBron James sweepstakes has gone way past sports interest into a full-blown pop culture phenomenon: Us Weekly, which usually writes about the state of Brangelina, is claiming an exclusive. The tabloid claims James has rented out six cabanas at the W Hotel in South Beach this…
Normally, we wouldn’t endorse a viral video that includes lyrics like “Sipping gin and prunes/Constipated by the palm trees (can’t dump),” but this parody of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” goes beyond the base lyrics into some sort of surreal and deeply disturbing world that’ll probably haunt you for the rest…
Michael Bay never met a hacky CGI explosion he didn’t like, but God bless him, he’s practically the patron saint of bringing big-time productions to Miami. The director of the Bad Boys movies and coproducer of the upcoming Cocaine Cowboys series is reportedly set to film scenes for the upcoming…
In today’s roundup of crimes and various horrible things: a delivery man is held hostage in his own truck, two men hold up a 7-Eleven (no Slurpees were harmed), pipes burst, moms cry, and water is contaminated…
Even with a major piece of the NBA free-agency puzzle being settled this morning, rumors continue to fly while others are put to rest. That one about Pat Riley reinstating himself as coach of the Heat? As far as Chris Bosh has heard, current coach Eric Spoelstra is staying put…

Dwyane Wade let Miami’s oft-tortured sports fans breathe a heavy sigh of relief this morning by re-signing with the Miami Heat and bringing Chris Bosh with him. Wade certainly stoked our abandonment complex at times, but he just put up a YouTube video thanking “the real fans that really gave me…
Do you guys know who this Jason Taylor fellow is? Sounds vaguely familiar. Apparently, he has written a short article for the Sporting News extolling the greatness of Dolphins linebacker Cameron Wake. “I think maybe five years from now, maybe one year from now,” Taylor writes, “people in Miami will…
Perhaps no human invention has influenced the history of Miami more than air conditioning. It helped fuel our population boom, and without it, this place would be an inhospitable heat trap with average indoor temperatures suitable only for nude Bikram yoga. So, yeah, air conditioning is pretty great, but did you know…
