• ¿Que Pasa, M.I.A.? Why I Sold You Out, Bro

  You sold me out, bro!  What the hell? What happened? I'll tell you what happened: I got an e-mail from some dude from the New York Times. He said he was in Miami to cover some sort of terrible crime spree, complete with beheadings. He wanted to write about something fun, so the worldwide press corps pointed him to me, José el Rey.I was honored to be considered his personal Miami tour guide, and I had an evening of hot night-time fun all lined up for him and his team of foreigners.

• Gloria Estefan Named Miami GuitarTown Celebrity Co-Chair

  If there's such a thing as Miami royalty, Gloria Estefan is undoubtedly the queen.  Along with husband, producer, musician and impresario, Emilio Estefan, she's literally changed the landscape of the Magic City over the years, first putting the town on the map with Miami Sound Machine's run of rampant success through the 1980s, then with her own triumph as a solo artist, releasing such hits as "Coming Out of the Dark" and "Don't Wanna Lose You".  As if that weren't enough, the Estefan

  There was a lot of talk this morning of Langerado 2009 being cancelled, but before we started spreading rumors we wanted to hear it directly from the source.

• UPDATED: Sun-Sentinel Lays Off Unknown Number; Herald Staff Cuts Imminent

  The Sun-Sentinel laid off numerous employees on Wednesday -- unfortunately nobody seems to know the exact numbers since the newspaper has kept it under a tight lid. Sources have put the number at anywhere from 25 to 85 people who lost their jobs in the operations, sales, and advertising department. At least three of them were escorted out of the building by security officers. I wonder: When did it become customary for newspapers to lay off large numbers of people and not report

Not the shrewd DNC Chairman Dean, mind you, but the one who went berzerk in Iowa

  Photo by C.StilesHow many condo bust stories can one newspaper write?Did anyone else get déjà vu reading the front page of the Miami Herald yesterday? Its feature story, "Condo Caverns," was strikingly similar to New Times' cover story last week, "Postcards From the Bust," written by yours truly. My story looked at life inside some of the ghostly high-rise condos that crowded South Florida's skyline during the real estate boom and are now struggling to find residents. The Herald stor

Hey, why not haul the poor woman across the state to Sanibel Island while we're at it? Or did she ruin the next day's shoot by giving birth?Anyway, congratulations to the lucky couple and to a little tyke who will get tons of attention. For those who think pregnancy photo albums like this one are a bit awkward, no. Awkward's after the jump.
