The thing about Farrah Fawcett is she was kind. To me. Once, 14 years ago. When we met out on a red carpet set up on the beach at the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach. It was a windy, rainy, kinda moody afternoon. Hurricane Katrina was barreling toward New Orleans, bypassing Miami and allowing MTV […]

Dear Governors
Dear Governors, Has this so-called president ever called you to check in, on a random any day, on the welfare of your state? To inquire about what might be needed or to offer assistance to your most vulnerable? To offer protection or, better yet, resources to protect us and ensure our Great Experiment works? Asking […]
The Thing About Madonna
The thing about Madonna is, there is only one Queen of Pop, and, bitches…don’t you come for her spot. She’s still in it. And her latest LP, Madame X, proves what she’s been saying lately is true: You cannot hit a moving target. You cannot box in Madonna. There’s no pigeonholing her because she is a bird […]
The Thing About J. Lo
The thing about Jennifer Lopez that I love – that makes going to see her perform the fourth show of her “It’s My Party Tour” down in San Jose tonight so fuckin’ special – is that she’s been around, at least musically, for 20 years, which is about the same amount o’ time that I’ve called […]
The Denim Diaries Cinque
She touched the ground on the sidewalk, a show for the northbound traffic. It was hot. So hot. Too hot to keep at it. It was that hot. Hot ground. Point gotten. Across the street she reached down to the ground again, to touch it. She’d been committed to honoring the spirit of the Girl […]
The Antojo Playist
Oh, the modernity. I no longer have to list my playlists like a caveman, I can simply…. Not figure out the embed feature, quelle surprise. (Seriously, I thought I had it.) Time to 🎧➡️ pivot.
The Channing Tatum Moment
Oh, what a time it was. Back during the Movie Martin day, I interviewed a then-breaking big Channing Tatum at the Loews Miami Beach, one sunny, humid Friday afternoon, when he was in town meeting with press on behalf of Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike. So this was summertime, 2012. I had gotten into the magazine game […]
Support the Girls
Spoiler Alert! Guys, we gotta do better by women. I find it curious that I’ve had more chats about the Game of Thrones finale during these last less than 24 hours from the time the show came and went than I did conversations during the last few days about the whole anti-abortion, anti-women disgrace currently […]
#DoMore, Est. 11.9.16
You people over it yet? ’Cause you should be. We saw it coming, and we had our faults, too. Don’t act like you forgot. Now let’s get it together and do something. Less iLife and more weLife. Open your heart and mind and hearts and minds will follow. Find out what it is that President-Elect […]
The Miami Collective
When I was very young (OK…younger), I heard the siren song of Miami. Miami. You know, where the heat is on. I started to visit the Magic City as a child, but I started to get to know it as a teen through the magic of the movies. Movies, Miami movies, back when movies where […]
