Miami's reality TV overload
One afternoon while walking down Lincoln Road carrying my dog (Sambuca, a 12 year old shih-tzu), I spotted the Brooke Knows Best crew filming at Van Dyke Cafe. I watched for a moment and then I heard "what a beautiful dog!" As I turned around and smiled, I saw that the person admiring my pooch was Tabitha Coffey from Tabitha's Salon Takeover. It was a reality TV overload moment!
I knew that something was up. I figured that the Brit was coming from Browns and Co., so I walked into the store pretending to browse and I saw crew members with headsets on. Confirmed - Browns was being taken over!
Last week, SAVE Dade asked me to be a judge for the "Khloe Kardashian Drag Queen Look-a-Like Contest". It was an event for SAVE Dade to be filmed for E!'s Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. The festivities included DJ Tracy Young, Elaine Lancaster as host, special guest Khloe Kardashian and a bevy of drag queens competing for the $1,000 prize. The judges were Khloe’s sister and co-star, Kourtney Kardashian, CBS4 News' Chief Meteorologist David Bernard, Rachel Robinson from MTV's Road Rules and lil ole me. In attendance were Dan Renzi from The Real World: Miami and JD Ordonez from The Real World: Brooklyn.

I Heart Joe Allen
As we head into the 4th of July – have a good one, y'all! – I'm thinking American, and nobody does it better than
Joe Allen.
Located in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood of South Beach, Joe Allen is the standard by which every restaurant in town should be judged because they really know what they're doing there.
I have to say that everyone involved with its operation (and success – you try getting a table sans reservation) shares a commitment to excellence and values the same things, chief among them a constantly surprising menu and service that's second to none.
It's cliché to say, but it is sooo true.
I've been going to Joe Allen ever since a good friend of mine took me there like, seven years ago. I've celebrated many a birthday since then there – actually, I'm quite sure I had my first legal drink at Joe Allen – and I've come to find comfort in its simple, yet elegant décor (I once thought of taking asked if I could have one of the surfer dudes affixed to the wall).
The food, of course, is the reason I constantly recommend the hot spot to friends. Yes, I call it a hot spot because Joe Allen is always It, It, It, no matter the season, no matter what flash in the pan has just opened – if you're a local you love it, and if you're from out of town you fall for it.

40 Years Later, Still Second-Class Americans
LIKE all students caught up in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s, I was riveted by the violent confrontations between the police and protestors in Selma, 1965, and Chicago, 1968. But I never heard about the several days of riots that rocked Greenwich Village after the police raided a gay bar called the Stonewall Inn in the wee hours of June 28, 1969 — 40 years ago today.
The Times — which would not even permit the use of the word gay until 1987 — covered the riots in tiny, bowdlerized articles, one of them but three paragraphs long, buried successively on pages 33, 22 and 19. www.nytimes.com
Drew Barrymore parties with the boys in South Beach
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long continue to show that the best part of breaking up is making up. The on-again couple looked like they were having the time of their lives at the Humane Society fund-raiser in Miami at the house of New Concept Video owner Dan Sehres. Barrymore, in a "shark-themed headpiece, full Tinkerbell makeup and leggings" partied for a few hours, a spy said, before "jetting off with Justin to a private island for vacation." www.nypost.com PAGE SIX

Naomi Campbell's Russian billionaire beau shacks up at Shaq's
According to the South Beach Condos Blog , Naomi Campbell's tycoon boyfriend Vladislav Doronin is the buyer of Shaquille O'Neal's Star Island sprawl. And he got a bargain, too. The house at 26 Star Island Drive sold for $19 million less than the original, outrageous list price of $35 million. Still, for that money, however, we hope the house is diva-proof. www.miamiherald.com/scene_in_the_tropics

Dana Keith realized a decades-long dream with Miami Beach Cinematheque
The seats at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, the cozy oasis for movie lovers on Española Way, are not arranged in parallel lines, as in most theaters. Instead, the rows have been installed in a V pattern around the screen, so at any moment you can turn and watch the faces of fellow viewers as clearly as you can see the movie.
''It's one of my hobbies, watching the audience as they watch the film,'' says Cinematheque founder-programmer Dana Keith. ``Seeing their reaction gives me as much pleasure as the films themselves. To watch someone discovering a film the same way I did is very rewarding. It makes me feel good.'' www.miamiherald.com
