Huggy It Out, Bro

Huggy Lowdown’s piercing Steve Urkel-esque voice comes careening through car radio systems each morning during the top-rated Tom Joyner Morning Show. The comedian with a name straight out of the ’70s gives listeners celeb juice, social commentary, and straight-up tomfoolery in a biting, no-holds-barred style that listeners can’t seem to…

Marc Anthony Gets Intimamente

Among those who care what Britney is eating or the type of mousse Zac uses, celeb rag US Weekly has ruined Marc Anthony’s rep. The magazine has made him look like some overbearing stage hubby who won’t allow his superstar wifey and bearer of his babies any room to breathe…

Kid, Grab the Bait

Dunkin’ Donuts has a new ad campaign hawking the idea that parents should use doughnuts to drag their kids away from the evil pull of the boob tube. Their proposal: Stuff fried dough down your little ones’ traps. We say take them to the City of Miami’s Rowing Club for…

Hop to It

The White House’s efforts to distribute tickets online to the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn have been marked by site crashes and some very overwhelmed Easter Bunnies manning whitehouse.gov. Your holiday doesn’t have to be so disappointing or high-tech, because Miamians celebrate Easter in ways that…

Hop to It, Too

Between the jelly beans and chocolate eggs, E.B. could probably use a little R&R. Sure, he works only one day out of the year, and it’s usually just the daytime shift, but every bunny needs a break. Miami Seaquarium has added a new feature to its annual Easter Celebration —…

Music with No Remote Control

It might be hard to fathom, but an evening of your roommate’s Rock Band jam session is no competition for a few hours of an actual musician creating fabulous noise on the instrument of his or her choice. So try Live @ Buck15, a weekly party that brings local acts…

Barack, Bail out My Back

We don’t need to tell you why you should spend a little time at a spa — just ask the calluses on your feet and the golf ball-size knots chillin’ on your upper back. Maybe they’re there because of the time you spend hunched over the computer on your never-ending…

Magic City Kitty – Should I Shave?

Hello, Kitty After years of getting  waxed, shaved, and Nair-ed, I’ve decided to let my pubes grow naturally. Well, actually my boyfriend made the decision. He’s European and a major fan of a woman with some hair — which is something I’m not used to at all. My last boyfriend…

Roam and Stare for No Charge

Your gran’s house is kind of like a museum — filled with old stuff that’s guarded by a bulldog you’d never want to meet in a dark alley. At her archive of old stuff, the café is a kitchen outfitted with unique appliances and the bookstore contains a copy of…

Pour on the Gasolina

“I don’t care who I piss off,” Daddy Yankee spat at a New York Post interviewer last year. “This is about my ideals, not about making friends.” We love a man with conviction, but he wasn’t exactly defending his most heinous offense: the ambiguously raunchy lyrics of his 2004 megahit,…

Can You Boogie?

Electric Pickle. Would a club by any other name sound as sour? In a city where hoity-toity monikers such as Mansion and Louis are de rigueur, a handle that sounds like a mad science project makes our lips pucker in a weird, refreshing way. Would you rather drown your workweek…

Poolside Mambo

The ladies sported seamed stockings, and the cool cats drank vodka gimlets. If you were lucky to be a member of the elite crowd that tasted the cultural flavors of uptown New York’s Havana San Juan, you might have watched Celia Cruz sway her hips to the conga while Ol’…

Reborn and Ready to Rock

Freshly suited, booted and ready for a night of debauchery among shrubbery you arrived at 2nd and Collins to find that your favorite club was quiet. Balls of hair weave were rolling down the street and fossilized cigarette butts dotted the concrete in front of what used to be Opium…

Global Beats in Your Backyard

We are a city of many nationalities, but if you believe that music is a language that all can understand, spend the weekend with world music at the Festival of the Drum. This celebration of music showcases the drumming community and features a variety of percussion driven acts. From 10…

Expand Your World With Music

You don’t need your passport to attend Miami’s longest running World Music Festival. All you need is a pair of eardrums and a willingness to groove along to sounds that celebrate the evolution of African culture in our community. Today from 6 to 10:30 p.m., local artists reppin’ locales from…

Kitty Purrs About Pubic Hair

Hello, Kitty: After years of getting my cooch waxed, shaved, and Nair-ed, I’ve decided to let my pubes grow naturally. Well, actually my boyfriend made the decision. He’s European and a major fan of a woman with some hair between her legs — which is something I’m not used to…

Cassie Picked Up Some Swag

While the regular people were in the WMC trenches rolling ballz, Bad Boy artist/sometime pop kitten/maybe or maybe not Diddy’s current jumpoff Cassie was at chic Collins shop The Webster’s Femme Fatale DJ Series picking up some gear from Balmain, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga and YSL. …

Magic City Kitty – My Girl Stole My Ballz

Hello, KittyTwo weeks ago, my girl came down from Orlando to visit for the weekend. I was stoked to spend time with her because we’ve been in a long-distance relationship since January and have seen each other only six times since then. I made plans for us to do all…

Richard Simmons Comes to Cuban Exileville

There are few souls more energetic than fitness legend Richard Simmons. In fact, I’m sure that he’s a life-sized jumping bean. Seriously. Have you seen this video? He’s known for his dolphin shorts and curly fro, but his commitment to health and fitness for regular folk is what he’ll go…

You Had Me at Utada

Hikaru Utada is the biggest pop star you don’t know about. She’s not out getting married in Vegas or beating Hondas with umbrellas, but the Japanese starlet sold over 50 million records without getting involved in the dramz. Did we mention that she’s quite easy on the eyes? Sephora took…

Don’t Call Him Mr. Carey

Nick Cannon is a Rapper-actor-TV host-sometime comedian, but ever since his 2008 marriage to the Queen of Pop, some people like to call him Mr. Carey. As in, the better half of Mariah. But when he’s on the 1’s and 2’s, playing sound selector for parties from Vegas to NY…
